Popular Post wpfalcon Posted March 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 14, 2020 First of all, Maybe some of you know me very well because I was a really active user on this forum but then I stopped posting here for some reason. I was busy working on my other projects & for sometime I even stopped working on Fiverr but now I’m back here. You guys can discuss with me on any topic & If you like fighting on some topics then try me because I don’t take things personally very easily.Just kidding 😊I don’t know why but I’m not getting any orders at all. No messages… Nothing 😦Maybe Coronavirus is the culprit because mostly all of my buyers are from USA. Recently one buyer told me that work is very very slow here in the US.Today POTUS (Donald Trump) declares national emergency to combat Coronavirus so I don’t think my sales will get any better in next few days. Recently, I watched this Australian news channel where 2 ladies are fighting for a toilet paper & I was like ***.I even contacted Fiverr Support team today & they responded:“Fiverr does not guarantee impressions, clicks or views for your Gig. We provide a marketplace for you to advertise your Gigs, and it is up to you to make them appealing, and promote them outside of Fiverr to increase the number of views your Gig receives.”Typical Fiverr response 😉What do you think guys?? 289 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post lenasemenkova Posted March 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 14, 2020 My inbox went dead on Thursday (was it when the state of emergency was declared?) Then I got an order that was canceled before the requirements were even submitted because the event the project was for was canceled. I’m already at nearly 50% of my monthly revenue now so it could be worse, I suppose.Fiverr obviously can’t force people into spending money or committing to new projects when they’d much rather panic or just reschedule things and restructure budgets until we get a clearer picture of where all of this is going. 93 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really suggest you to lower your prices on both of your gigs. $55 for a flyer is not cheap for some Fiverr users but yeah $55 for a unique poster is a pretty good deal. Btw, If you’re not depended on Fiverr then it’s ok to raise your prices. Actually in my case, I’m 100% depended on Fiverr right now.I can assure you that our current situation is temporary & we will get more projects really soon 🙂 67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me one of the best parts about being a freelancer is that you aren’t accountable to anyone except yourself so we can do whatever we want 🙃 65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post pedrito2387 Posted March 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 15, 2020 @wpfalcon yes i have also noticed a decrease in impressions and orders from my gigs in the last 2 weeks or so, the economy in china and u.s are also taking a hit so im pretty sure the Covid-19 has a lot to do with it. let’s just pray that everything goes back to normal and that we can defeat this thing. 🙏 54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you’re definitely paying for more than the graphic. Communication is ⭐, and the smoothest graphics orders I’ve had are with her. If anything, the prices should go up, not down.Aside from that, I know a lot of places are canceling events, but churches are having to ramp up the graphics and content to compensate for the online services we’ll be doing until it’s safer to be in large gatherings. Plus, Easter is coming up. The Bible belt has been busy.None of my writing projects have changed any, but I’m mostly doing long term work now and less short stories, so that’s probably what’s maintained the stability in my sales. 65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially considering the amount of work each of the designs take. Doing tons of work for peanuts is not something I’m looking for.The issue, I think, is more about what is being sold. I might have to rethink the kind of services I provide or expand.According to multiple experts, the current situation is only at its beginning stages. I don’t feel overly optimistic but we’ll see about that. 52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wpfalcon Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 I also believe in our current situation being temporary but lowing prices doesn’t seem to work eitherYes, It will not work. Actually all our buyers are (business owners) & their businesses are getting destroyed by this Coronavirus outrage. So if you’re a seller like me then you have to message them directly or create an offer for them in the conversation area so they can order your services directly from that page. Don’t expect new buyers these days just contact your previous buyers for more work. Recently one guy contacted me about my speed optimization gig & he was running a (travel website) I told him to order my Standard package but then he asked lots of questions about my pricing so again I told him that your current requirement is not available in my basic package.Funny part: He never replied again 😁 40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasanriocv Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Hey! Same from me.I think COVID-19 has something to do, but not all of it. I’ve been having the same issues for the last 3 months. My sales went from $1K per month to $250 or less. I’ve always been in page one of my category now I’m in page 9 all of a sudden. I don’t improve despite I share in social media, lower my gig price, I only get 5 stars reviews lately,HOnestly, I don’t know what else to do 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zgeek0322 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I read all of this and it makes me sad… 😦I just recently started to get noticed and got my first order, but it sounds to me that it will be a while before I start getting more orders. 😞 I have noticed lower stats (even though my stats weren’t too impressive to begin with, but still). 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpfalcon Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 no order ,no new buyerDon’t be sad, Hopefully everything will be normal soon 🙂 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adsensewizard Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 For sure! A very clear effect. I used to have 30-60 orders in queue all the time until last year. Then it dropped to 5-10 ish when impressions dropped by 95% when my gigs moved to last pages suddenly.Now since the pandemic (Might be related), if I’m lucky, I get one order per day. 😱Stay safe! And let’s hope the worst of the epidemic passes soon. At least there’s good news from China, where they have experienced a significant drop in new cases. 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
