I have 3 active gigs on my account but I still have not gained any orders. What should I do now?

Just curious: how come “Active on Fiverr Forum” would help someone with anything?

It’s about potential advice? Or it also counts for traffic rankings somehow?

Just asking…

Being active on the forum is not a way to gain clients. Sure, there can be the offhand time when someone may look at your profile from a post you made and find they want to try you out - but, the advice most neophytes here give is to:

be online 24/7

post on the forum

spam social media

All of which will not create an avalanche of orders. What creates orders is offering a service that someone needs and marketing your service in the right place to the right audience.

I agree with your view 100%

As @genuineguidance said, it’s part of the advice package that new sellers (often with no sales of their own, so no personal experience in the matter) parrot out to each other because they’ve read it somewhere (or have even paid for a course that taught them nonsense). They’re also certain that posting on the forum will bring them sales, and since they have no experience of their own to share, they share whichever nonsense they’ve seen elsewhere. Rinse and repeat, and you get a forum that’s full of 💩 advice.

It’s about potential advice?

Yes, forum can be useful if you need advice. If you use the search feature and if you manage to wade through all the posts-for-the-sake-of-posting.

well, I’ve read some topics where 90% of the bright fiverr forum users told a guy there was no way his wife, his kids, or grandkids, or his dog/cat/etc could get an account from the same IP, as they will be banned.

then 3-4 other more decent guys told him to beg CS, maybe they will grant it.

finally, other few guys said this was plain stupid.

so I’d say yes, sometimes we get great genuine advice here. but just be careful, as best intentions could also reflect genuine stupidity, to say the least.

@genuineguidance - I should also add it depends how frequently fiverr decides to show your gig.

I just parsed some threads in which ppl with hundreds of sales stopped getting any.

As a new seller, I cannot complain. But I just wonder if the same thing would happen to me if I become successful at some point…
