uk1000 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Does it actually mess with the ranking? Because as far as I understood these promoted gigs are placed separately in ads. It says somewhere in the seller help center that they “will find a good place for the ad”.I think he means if his gig was already at the top before the promoted feature was added, other people will now be able to promote their gigs so that they will now be at the top spot, so his gig will now be shown lower down than other gigs, unless he pays to use gig promotion.edit: Though his gig should still appear on the first page if it did before and just below the promoted gigs probably if it’s rank stays the same.Also (nothing to do with that) there’s a mistake in the help page for promoted gigs where it says which categories can be promoted. It says:Logo DesignBusiness Cards & StationeryIllustrationVector Tracking 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think the sponsored gigs will receive an extra spot in the rankings but separetly somewhere. Not sure where but I don’t think they will touch the search results but rather put those gigs somewhere you can see them if you click on the respective category for example. Or on the main page, I don’t know. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it will now get seen above all the other organic ones. Even though it won’t interfere with the existing organic placement (so you could have your gig on page 1 in organic search and it could simultaneously be shown in the promoted section above it).Though I’ve looked through different subcategories (the ones it mentions) and haven’t seen any promoted gigs yet. Maybe they don’t think I’m the right buyer to see them yet. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By doing this maybe you can see any ad. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janali Posted September 7, 2020 Author Share Posted September 7, 2020 I found it in the seller help center:https://sellers.fiverr.com/en/article/promoted-gigsPay with your Fiverr BalanceNo upfront payments. Instead, your Fiverr Balance will be charged retroactively each month for your ads’ activity of the previous month.So next month you can use the $10 promo to get the amount deducted from your monthly bill.I found it in the seller help center:https://sellers.fiverr.com/en/article/promoted-gigs Pay with your Fiverr BalanceNo upfront payments.

vickiespencer Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I tried the gig promotion and I got the following results.Screen Shot 2020-09-07 at 6.26.01 PM2824×503 69.1 KBI did get 2 or 3 buyers that have returned to my inbox to ask for custom offers. However, Fiverr charged me the $.28 fee for each of those orders too. So, it appears that if you get a buyer through the promo, that you pay Fiverr the fee for every gig the buyer orders after that.All of the orders were ten dollar orders, which I usually would pay the standard 20% to Fiverr. However, I am now being charged the 20% plus the $.28 fee per order. That means I am paying 23% to Fiverr on a $10 order instead of only 20%.I even had one buyer order three ten dollar orders that cost me an additional $.84 total for the three orders, where if the buyer had placed one 30 order, I would have only paid .28.In summary, the promo is better if the buyer places larger orders and not smaller orders. Plus, expect to give Fiverr the price you bid on every order placed by a seller who found you through the promotion. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on your experience, seems a waste of money especially if we have lower price gigs. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vickiespencer Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I stopped the promotion. I do not want to pay Fiverr more than the 20% fee I already do. Plus, now that I stopped promoting the gig, I seem to get less orders on that gig. :thinking:However, I see where if you sell gigs with larger prices that it would be advantageous. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
