Launching Promoted Gigs

[mateusbl]

Did they think about the new sellers who are just started, I m one of them, I already struggle to get my first order and now it s going to be more difficult because we are out of this features… I feel like we are in the situation of “The rich get richer and the poor get poorer”.

For new sellers the recommended is send everyday 10 offers in the Buyer Request, this feature help a lot who is starting in the platform. This feature don’t will work if new sellers with level 0 and 1 starting to Promote the Gig without having experience in the platform… you know the sellers with level 2 and TRS, worked for more than one year to reach this level.

This probably isn’t going to work well for the average Pro gig (Pro verified service) either.

Fiverr says:

To ensure a quality ad experience for the buyers, only hand-vetted sellers who meet all our quality metrics can participate in this program.

Fiverr Pros are hand-vetted for different subcategories but many or most Pro gigs seem to have less than 30 reviews (maybe especially the higher priced ones) so many wouldn’t be able to be promoted with this, despite them being hand-vetted/quality gigs according to Fiverr.

Maybe they might make a different rule for Pro services or maybe Fiverr don’t want them promoted with this (eg. because Fiverr promote them enough in other places).

Nice idea! Is it applicable for all sellers?

[shoaibraza834]

Even the smallest of jobs well done will take you one step closer towards the success that you have always dreamed about. Keep it up.

Yes, on a day you get sale. But on a days you do not? It is like gambling, it will become an addiction.

You will put 10 and it won’t work. And you are going to think, maybe I picked wrong day, wrong gig, wrong something, just 10 more, just 10 more… and than nothing, and you gonna: Oh, I must get my 20 back, lets put another 10 to get sale… and soon, before you notice, your eventual 100$ sale is going to cost you much more than 10$.

That’s! Seriously bad idea.

I contacted CS asking help regarding this. I didn’t get a clear answer than some sort of automated type reply. I am here for almost 7 years and fulfilled all the criteria, but still I couldn’t find a way to get this feature enabled.

one of my gig fulfill all the requirements, but why I can’t see this feature there???

Is it one of your active gigs? 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…”).

yes it’s my active gig.NS IT MEETS ALL THE REQUIREMENTS. as you said"they only allow promoted gigs for the “Whiteboard & Animated Explainers” subcategory, not the “Character Animation” subcategory currently" may be that can be the reason why my this feature is not showing.

Thank you so much for your help!!! 😃

It’s not really a feature because you have to be invited to participate. Just like getting to a TRS, you are chosen, it doesn’t automatically happen.

Ah!! I got it. Thank you so much for making my doubts clear 😀

[cas_art]

Great step for the expert and old freelancers but unfortunately unavailable for new sellers.

I think that this new feature can give us more opportunities and maybe will be possible to us depend less of just organic results, maybe we can stay less online without prejudice our performance.

I hope that Promoted Gigs give more orders, for keep investing in this. You know sometimes we pay ADS to get one client, and this client can order more than once. Let’s see if this will work, the feature is in beta yet, i wanna that they let us promote more than one gig.

Stay positive! We all need to see this new approach as helpful. Only time and results will really tell Fiverr if it’s working.

It’s still in Beta now so not even old freelancers and top sellers are invited.

Even if you meet all the requirements in a category, it doesn’t mean you will be invited. You simply have to wait until you get the email.

where this will come can you show a screenshot of this ?

It shows the Promoted Gigs option (where it is on the screen) in the video that is linked to from the first post.

I am not personally using the feature despite being eligible. I’m comfortable with my current sales volume for the moment so don’t see a reason to spend money on it. So it has not affected my sales one way or the other as of yet.

Sure

[gunawanguan]

Hopefully this will be applied soon to all seller with the requirement that Fiverr request, except for that special requirement.

[new_design20]

It’s not available for every level 2 seller

We don’t know when it will be available for everyone who meets the requirements. Could be a month, could be a year, could be never.

Pretty sure it won’t be for everyone. The main idea is to not have an overload of gigs without reviews. They are only offering the opportunity for vetted people, to keep things under control

I’m fully aware of this - I just left out the rest of their comment in my quote by mistake.

[ze_blender3d]

How to active this feature?

You need to be a level 2 or Top rated seller

And the gig must have 30+ reviews to have this feature.

This is not for new seller

[leahan]

I just tried it from the landing page they have , they say I’m on the waiting list

What “landing page” are you referring to?

this one : https://www.fiverr.com/pages/promoted-gigs

[melissaharlowvo]

My average sale price is $94. All I can say is I hope it’s financially worth it for Fiverr to loose out on our incoming revenue.

Fiverr isn’t like a traditional company where profitable employees are protected. Fiverr has inflexible standards, you could be a TRS, you could be making $10,000 a month, but if your Order Completion Rate falls to 89%, you’ll be demoted to level 2.

It took me a long time to understand that. I had to give up my churn and burn philosophy. Had to start working harder on each order, taking my time, rejecting potential clients, never clicking “deliver now” until the client has seen the work and is satisfied, telling people to message me before ordering, etc.

Also, Fiverr has taught me they don’t believe in tradition, they’re willing to change anything and everything at any time for any reason.

You said it perfectly! My order requirements are a bit more strong because it forces buyers to think about what they are giving me. It’s a total team effort and buyers have to take some responsibility for the outcome of the project too. I would rather have fewer buyers who I can really pay attention too, than 20 orders in my queue. The quality of your work and your buyers who love your work, will in time, be a repeat-business machine! That is what all business owners want… 80% of your sales come from 20% of your buyers.

Ads will only get you poised in the right spot but you better be ready to serve as a professional.

I have changed my mind on the ads. At first it seemed like things were changing on the first two pages. But like always, I was just patient and used my down time to improve my portfolio, gigs and demo. I am actually grateful for those few weeks. I see an increase in new and great buyers. So somehow they are still finding me.

I already know sellers who are opting out of the Ad program after paying for ads because the results are not as organic. I am sure it’s paying off for others. I am just going to stay positive and hope the ads are successful.

My TRS is golden and I appreciate Fiverr in so many ways. I was the type of child who actually had to do chores to get allowance money. Nothing is given to you on Fiverr, you have to earn it… not just by numbers and stats but there is a magical mix of buyer love and appreciation, respect for the customer service team, an inward look at yourself and answering your inquiries in the middle of the night. You build it and they will find you.

LOVE this! Brilliant quote, and a great way of summarising success here. 🙂
