ewaoluwasimi Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Hi. I have been here for a while now, sent a couple of buyer requests, 7 to be precise. (I hardly get to see that though). No response so far.Is there anything I am doing wrong? Any assistance rendered will be highly appreciated. Thank you.P.S: I am into article writing, proofreading, and editing.

ghorairy Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 They key is not to wait. Sending a couple (or 7) requests is not enough. If your offers are good, then out of every 10 offers you send you may get 1 project. Sometimes you get lucky (or get better at sending offers). I once got 3 projects out of 5 offers that I sent. So, try to use all your 10 offers every day. But don’t spam potential clients, make sure your offers are addressing their request.Another tip, which is something I haven’t had time to do yet, is marketing yourself outside of Fiverr while making sure that you redirect potential clients to your Fiverr profile / gig with a link. The key is not to sit and wait.I hope that helps 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacine Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 There’s no waiting… you have to go out there and market your services to the people who need them.Sitting back and expecting people to come to you will avail you nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you’ll only see requests that are related to the gigs you are offering. Once you reach level 1 you’ll be able to see more requests. There are quite a few topics on this forum related to buyer requests that will answer pretty much all your questions 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewaoluwasimi Posted November 10, 2018 Author Share Posted November 10, 2018 Hi. My name is Esther, and I operate in the writing niche. I went for a project research in my school believing I had put my account on vacation mode. To my surprise, when I return online after a week, I have got some messages. Now my response rate has dropped drastically to 25% (5 days). This is really giving me a lot of concern, and I don’t know what to do. I am still a new seller, I have never encountered this issue before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabrielavila96 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 There’s nothing you can do but answer fast untill you get your response rate good again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fonthaunt Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Hello Esther,I don’t know if you want advice so you can feel free to ignore this. I looked at your gigs out of curiosity and I notice that you used a slang term about someone who is really hard on poor grammar. You might want to find another way to word it. While it is common slang, some buyers could be put off by it because of the word choice. Since the site is global, there might be better ways to say it. Good luck with your response rate.

zeus777 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Hi there,The only way you can keep your response rate high is when you reply to a new messageright away, and the only way to bump it back up is when you reply to your future messages right away.Usually when you go on vacation mode, you get a notification message from Fiverr.In case you decide to go on vacation mode again in the future, you might want tocheck ( in your junk message box too) for that message next time.

fogi Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 You have probably did not actually put yourself into vacation mode. You learn, you wait, and in 60 days your response rate will be restored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
