pvitalsolutions Posted July 31, 2020 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?This is also a point indeed, i forgot this. What about the second thought i shared? 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lvivlubov Posted July 31, 2020 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 😦 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnovan86 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Fiverr New Features:Instant WithdrawalPromoted GigsAre they available to me?NO!Am I eligible for them?YES!Then why they are not available to me?I DON’T KNOW!Awesome. 😶For me they are both useless since I won’t use them, but I understand how some would need instant withdrawal. I wouldn’t say promoted gigs were needed, but I am sure some people would use them. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonbaas Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 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.Well I am at the bottom, my entire account, all my gigs are at the bottom.

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.

jonbaas Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I talked about it here but no one give atention in the forum, as you said in the past two weeks the inquiries dropped, with me, with you and with others people. I’m almost sure that the reason is because the new Promote Gig feature. Before this past two weeks i received everyday at least one message from clients.in the past two weeks the inquiries dropped, with me, with you and with others people.

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. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonbaas Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 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”.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”.Claimed experience in the past, has very little to do with what buyers see in the present. 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. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, since the day the program was released I didn’t receive any message from any new customer. Usually I get at least 2-3 per day. So… that’s strange since this is the third day. For now I have repeat orders to go through, so I am not worrying, but I am seeing a few bad changes at least in my situation. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure it’s in one of the subcategories they allow promoted gigs for?eg. in the “Video & Animation” category they only allow promoted gigs for the “Whiteboard & Animated Explainers” subcategory, not the “Character Animation” subcategory currently.Also if your gigs are okay re: the requirements, another reason you might not be able to see it is because sellers are manually picked for it currently according to the help page (it says “only hand-vetted sellers who meet all our quality metrics…”). 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarapereir397 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Why is there categories that are not included? I can’t promote my gig because I am a singer and musician? Why is that? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deoxraarts Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 But if it’s not for what sellers need (or want) why would they pay extra for these promoted gigs? If it’s to make things more appealing for buyers in general that’s something Fiverr could do with the search results by themselves.It’s like why would someone do a book promotion if they needed many reviews of the book already? They do book promotion to start the sales off and get the reviews really. So Fiverr requiring a minimum of 30 reviews for a gig to be promoted doesn’t seem the best thing to do really. I might want the promotion to start a new-ish gig off, to start getting sales on it (assuming I was one of the people who had this feature).Give them some time. they will understand… 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might want the promotion to start a new-ish gig off, to start getting sales on it (assuming I was one of the people who had this feature).Yes, while I guess Cat is right and it’s a win-win for Fiverr if sellers pay for additional promotion of their anyway best selling gig (or to avoid their gig losing outcon sales because promoted gigs are more visible), that’s where the feature might actually come in handy from seller side, to launch a new gig, plus, it would be easier to know if the investment pays off vs promoting a gig that often gets orders anyway.I’d feel more tempted to try the feature on a new gig. I don’t yet have the option, though, in any case. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m almost sure that the reason is because the new Promote Gig feature. Before this past two weeks i received everyday at least one message from clients.Yes it’s a bit discouraging. I really don’t work on other platforms because Fiverr is superior in every way. So to have a scare like this is unfortunate. Literally the entire world has so much to worry about, this was one place I felt a little bit secure.Hopefully, time will work out the kinks.I have put so much effort into my gigs and portfolio and it would be a shame for new buyers to not have many choices on the first pages. As of now the same people are showing up day after day in the front pages. Great for them! Not so great for the rest. I just wonder how much more the revenue is from ads rather than TRS bringing in their normal revenue.Well let’s try to stay positive. This too shall pass.I have been on Fiverr long enough to realize there are ups and downs. When I have a down turn it gives me a much needed chance to catch my breath and relax.The ads may or may not affect your business but only you can control where your mind wonders with it. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
