mk_sanwal Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I’ve used total $10.18 to promote my gigs and got only 65 impressions, 15 clicks and no order. I think 65 impressions for $10 is too costly. :roll_eyes: 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 65 impressions for $10 is too costly. :roll_eyes:That means your gig category has very high competition and is probably being bid at $0.70 per click. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamsachmusic Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 A week ago, I was given the option to use this feature, everything was working fine, but like past 2-3 days ago, all of the gigs were marked to “pending” instead of “promoted”.And it’s still like that. Anyone else has this issue? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else has this issue?but like past 2-3 days ago, all of the gigs were marked to “pending” instead of “promoted”.Did you get any orders with your promoted gigs before 3 days ago? Because I was thinking that some of your buyers may have said something in the Fiverr secret review that made Fiverr want to give your gigs a second look. :thinking: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barely got any clicks and impressions. Maybe this is the reason why it’s in pending state now. But why it was promoted earlier. My main gig is on the first page and i am normally getting orders. So how it doesn’t meet the quality.One thing I want to ask is will promoting the gig change the organic sales and impressions? Suppose if i stop the promotion, what will happen then? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you would typically make $32 on $40 worth of sales. But you paid Fiverr $4.14 to get your $40 sale. Therefore, you gave Fiverr, about 30% commission for the sale you got. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worthforcheap Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Okay guys, so I’ve been testing the new “Promotion” feature this past week. The promotion didn’t start until I placed a bid equal to the recommended pay per click, so I didn’t get any traffic for a week, but once I updated my bid…I received 8 clicks for 2$! And the funny thing is that the original impressions on my gig went down by 100% which is crazy, as I’ve been getting the same results for the last 3 months.My experience: The promotion didn’t start until I placed a higher bid. For 2$ I got only 8 clicks and the original impressions on the same gig went down by 100% since I received the “Promote your gig” notification.My thoughts - Our original impressions are going down so that we can get traffic by “promoting” (aka paying) for the traffic of our own gigs (like the 20% commission isn’t high enough). My gig had the “Fiverr’s choice” badge and was always at the top of the first page, I’ve been constantly getting 200-300 clicks a week for the past 3-4 months, the past 7 days (since I started “promoting”) I got only 100 natural clicks, impressions are 100% less as well and I spent 2$ on 8 clicks via the “Promotion” panel.I’m a bit disappointed and I hope that this feature won’t stick. The only people who’ll lose from this are literary the best sellers that earned their spot on the first page by being hard workers offering a great quality service.My question - Can someone tell me why I should spent 10$ for 32 clicks? I was getting 300 natural clicks a week by being a good seller that provides a quality service, now my impressions and my clicks are 100% down, so that I can pay 10$ for 32 clicks :rofl:Also, how is this good for Fiverr? I received only 1 order on the “Fiverr’s choice” gig that I started promoting and the order I got wasn’t due to the promotion. I was getting x2 impressions and x2 clicks, with around 3-4 orders a week before the Promotion thing started so the platform lost approximately 100$ from the 20% cut and made 2$ from me promoting my gig. Good job, Fiverr! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took a week or so to get back to normal once I stopped promoting.My impressions actually got a boost right after i stopped promoting the gig, which seems like a bad joke to me. Promotions should add additional traffic to the already existing, not remove that traffic so that I can pay to get less than usual.impressions712×316 12.8 KBI originally started this post on September 7 which is also the same day I started the promotion. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, a promoted $5 order would have turned into $3.34 profit, with 33.2% being deducted as fees by Fiverr which is really not worth it for me.Of course, that being said, you need to consider your idle time. If you have 80 % free capacities to work, you might want to consider whether the high fees are profitable for you. I personally won’t move a finger for what turns out to be 2.85€ on my bank account later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
