venonusa Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 (edited) @vickieito Just out of curiosity, do you think the forum is benefiting your Fiverr account as a seller? or the forum is not connected to the seller account?

I've been able to overcome a lot of my weaknesses by learning from other sellers. Often, the biggest obstacle to my business is me - so I'm constantly trying to improve myself so that I'm not limiting my earning potential. Often the forum knows about updates and changes before Fiverr even makes an announcement - it's good to know as soon as possible when updates are made. I really appreciate the friendships that I've formed here - it makes freelancing so much more enjoyable. 😊 Cons - More time on the forum means less time on my business, so I do lose money there ($50-$100 per day). Sometimes Fiverr staffers, management, and other sellers (who I mark as spam) prefer to communicate with me on the marketplace, so it does affect my conversion rates. I get a lot of spam from Fiverr sellers wanting me to help them with their business - and some of them are quite demanding - this not only includes personal messages and status updates (which are disabled now), it includes the marketplace, social media accounts, and my personal email because I'm a pretty easy person to find. 9 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are so well thought out! I have to go check about Seller Plus as that is new term and I probably do not have access to it. Where you mention weaknesses - same here. I am my biggest obstacle. Time on the forum is interesting though. I look at it differently. See, I see the forum as educational and trust building whether it is me getting to know others or them getting to know me. There just has to be a happy medium. I and in the last 12 hours I have reported 2 from my selling account and one in the forum which is the person who this morning had their business Spam in their own thread, probably got reported and still was not taken down at 4:30 am CT which was 18 hours at that point. The spam so far is positively the biggest challenge to me on this site so far. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look at it differently. @minordetails, I think you and I see time the same ...I could say that I spend over $1k a day with my family and kids but time spent with and for family is incredibly valuable to me (priceless, really)! I also don't consider the forum a $50-$100/day loss. I value the forum because of the knowledge I gain and the relationships I've built. 😊 I only mentioned price because a large number of sellers come to the forum expecting the time they spend here to be directly correlated to their success on the platform, regardless of what they do on the forum (and whether they implement what they learn). Most are looking for a one-answer silver bullet to success, when what it really takes is constant PDCA (planning - doing - checking - adjusting). There is no final destination, nor resting on one's laurels. Business is dynamic and constantly changing, and what works at one time, might not continue to work. 16 minutes ago, minordetails said: The spam so far is positively the biggest challenge to me on this site so far.

He wanted work, yet still had not published a single gig. Fiverr finally shut down his account this week. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wanted work, yet still had not published a single gig. Fiverr finally shut down his account this week. @vickieito I do agree we think alike - I do realize I made many mistakes when I started selling on Amazon and I worked 60-90 hours a week and I can never fix the lost time with my family. My kids are grown and in some ways things are worse but overall, it really is better. I even depleted a lot of my retirement the last couple of years like so many others. I still had my Amazon business but I no longer had employees working out of the house and I could not work the 50 hours they were doing a week plus the 60-90 I was doing. It took a toll I would not even discuss here. But, I know my priorities and I need to focus on those and many times during the day, because I get distracted easily. I will not go back to the life I had, even if I lose everything financially. You make very good points about why people come here. I realize if I comment, people will look at what I do. I realize if I post enough, it builds trust. But, as on any site social media or forum, that does not mean it monetizes into something. I really enjoyed helping people in my early journey in ecommerce and feel no differently about my current transition. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might be true. But, you do have the ability to put your Fiverr profile link in your Fiverr Forum profile. When someone asks about someone asks for feedback on a gig or their profile it sure makes it easier than copying pasting the forum profile name and pasting it into Fiverr. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tahirmehmoodmeh Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Hi, I am a new seller on Fiverr. My question is is there any link between Fiverr and Forum? I mean being active on the forum can affect sellers' performance on Fiverr or not? 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catwriter Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 If by being active you mean reading and learning (and implementing what you learn), it can help you improve, so in that way, your performance on Fiverr might improve, too. If you're asking if posting on the forum will bring some benefits to your account on the main site, it won't. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vetriyad Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 As I know, there is no direct link between being active on Fiverr's forum and your performance as a seller on Fiverr. However, participating in the forum can help you learn more about the platform, connect with other sellers, and potentially increase your visibility. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
