ashleywalker877 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Hi I know most Requests get 50-100+ offers on them when posted. I understand this creates harder competeion and makes it less likely for people to reply to you. I'm trying to reach 10 commissions to get my first review in the hopes it'll make it easier to get work. I started working on my fiver account Jan 2020. Will it even make it easier to get work once I have a review? Is the fiverr market too saturated with sellers? If I'm struggling to get orders how are new sellers doing? Why is the fiverr market place full of people trying to scam you? Out of the 7 orders I've done I've had one person try and tell me they'll only be paying half of the agreed price once the work was complete. (I had to try an contact fivver to ammend this and sort this out) I've also had people message me and ask to plagrise others work and had people ask me to do things for free. Out of my 7 orders Only 4 of my 7 orders came from anwsering requests. The rest was a repeated buyer and a friend. Should I open more gigs in the hopes I might fit in a more needed work area? I'm really unsure on how to continue with fiverr. I anwser to requests every day I can and try and personalise each request yet it seems that I'm wasting time when I get no responseses or work from doing this weeks on end. I've even tried to under cutting my pricing. I don't know how to move forward or make it worth while to continue on fiverr does anyone have any suggestions.

looseink Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Buyer Requests is a tough place to gain much of a foundation for a freelance career. It took me a year to get my first order on Fiverr (I've been here five years now). Fiverr still only brings me about 30% of my monthly income. I don't use BRs at all. However, I do get business from other sources and have been freelancing full-time since 2016. Reviews may help, but what you are dealing with is the influx of newbies that flooded the platform during COVID. I think EVERYONE here has seen a change in volume of business as a result. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
