Popular Post donnovan86 Posted July 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2020 I am starting to think that all the search feature all the users were reporting that their gigs are pushed back, i think it was on purpose by fiverr because they thought the one that are pushed back will pay to bring it back at top, so all this problem was because of themI don’t believe this is true, because sellers from categories that aren’t even part of the ads program have been complaining about gig placement. Fiverr is/was not intentionally sending seller gigs to the back of the search results, just to force them to pay more to be seen. Why would Fiverr, as you claim, send sellers to the back of the search results who don’t even qualify for the promoted gigs program?Fiverr is/was not intentionally sending seller gigs to the back of the search results, just to force them to pay more to be seen.Well I am at the bottom, my entire account, all my gigs are at the bottom. And I qualify for the program. Not saying it’s intentional or anything, but it’s certain some popular gigs are at the bottom and they are obviously encouraged to pay for exposure since they are not getting new messages or customers. 72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you can spend $15 to make $12 on order you get by promoting your GIG?In order for your GIG to be on the first page, your “bid” must be higher than the rest. So if you, let’s say put that you are willing to pay 1$ for 1 click, and 50 sellers put 1.2$ per click, your GIG is on the second page. Maybe. Since Fiverr still must give the opportunity to new sellers and Level one sellers. So you are page 2 or 3 maybe after paying 50$ for promotion, with no sales. 80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s say, I’m providing full website creation at 100 dollar, If I’m getting even one sale after spending 10 dollar, then I’m getting good ROI (return on investment) 66 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ohbeclever Posted July 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2020 Also I don’t really understand why it says it’s only for gigs with at least 30 reviews. Surely gigs with less than 30 reviews would need promotion a lot more than those with more reviews?I think it’s not about what gigs or sellers need, the idea is to promote proven gigs that would be appealing to buyers.That’s totally incorrect. Just because a gig has no reviews because it’s new, doesn’t make it unreliable or unprofessional. It is super unfair that there are some newly joined sellers that have waay more experience in a certain area than say one “top rated seller”. 61 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post lvivlubov Posted July 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2020 I think in the same way as you, the Gig need at least 30 review, okay… but i would like to promote my second gig who give me more revenue per order, i don’t wanna promote my main gig just because have more reviewsThat’s exactly what I have in mind too! I was thinking to create another gig and promote it, but then I read the “30 reviews” rule 😦 59 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying it’s intentional or anything, but it’s certain some popular gigs are at the bottom and they are obviously encouraged to pay for exposure since they are not getting new messages or customers.My most popular gig is currently not on the first page of search results, but it does not qualify for this program, since it isn’t within a category currently open to ads. I do have a logo design gig that qualifies, but I do not yet have access to the ads platform. Where a seller’s gigs are, right now, clearly does not relate to the potential for a seller within the ads program. As you know, gigs rotate around regularly. I do not believe Fiverr is intentionally doing anything to force sellers to participate in the program. 60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t have anything to with your loss of sales over the PAST TWO WEEKS. It is unwise to cast blame on other things, when, in reality, the only person who can make you successful and earn you orders is YOU. If your sales are low, no one else is to blame. Do some marketing research, and figure out how to better connect to your target customers. That’s how you earn orders. 59 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When buyers look at the services of a TRS, they see a hard-built reputation on this site, with reviews, testimonials, buyer samples, etc. When buyers look at a new seller, they see an unproven risk, and a seller with no social proof of his/her claimed skills. More often than not, a buyer is going to hire the proven professional with reviews, samples, and social proof. That’s usually how business works no matter where you go. It is, therefore, unrealistic to claim this to be unfair. We all start at the bottom and work our way up. New sellers need to work hard to prove themselves… TRS sellers have already done this. That’s just how business works. 65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
