fastcopywriter Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I joined Seller Plus for $19 a month thinking it would drive me a ton of business. I was hoping that with advanced analytics and keyword suggestions, I would make more money. Instead, after two refunds thanks to impossible to please buyers, I was no longer allowed to use Promoted Gigs, have only made $40 this month, and don't see the value in paying $19 anymore. What good is 7-day clearance if you're not making sales? What is your experience with Seller Plus? Did it work for you? Did it not? 28 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seller Plus hasn't increased my business, but I do like the perks, so that's why I keep it. I'm on the Premium plan. 30 minutes ago, fastcopywriter said: What is your experience with Seller Plus? Did it work for you? Did it not? I like the Seller Plus only forum, trying out new features (like Negative Keywords and Request to Order), giving product feedback to product managers, and having unlimited access to my Success Manager. Oh, and having funds on the same day the order closes is nice, too. 29 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the first things she did was go behind my back and demand that Customer Support pay me for a canceled order where the buyer disappeared and took my files. I had one last deliverable that I couldn't deliver on the order, and since the buyer disappeared (and I was silly enough to give the other deliverables in the chats), I had to cancel. I was just planning on taking the hit financially, but my success manager thought otherwise. A month later, I found over $100 in my account and received an email from Customer Support saying that my account was credited for the work that I did. When I told my success manager about it, she admitted she was behind the whole thing. 27 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a buyer doesn't respond, I just click "deliver now" and deliver what I have. Still, your SM is wonderful. That's certainly worth the $19 you're paying. 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do that if I have all my deliverables, but on this order, it would have been an incomplete delivery. I had enough info for 2 deliverables (a cover letter and resume). The buyer wanted to see the first two before giving me all his requirements for the LinkedIn update. After I showed the first two deliverables, he disappeared and I was unable to deliver without the LinkedIn update (I couldn't find his LInkedIn profile by search). 18 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been paying 29$ since Seller Plus came out and indeed it gave me the option to choose a SM when I subscribed. 18 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not anymore. When it just started it didn’t have any tiers and he could just choose his success manager to start with. 19$ was for the first 200 people who subscribed 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunboatrecords Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 @fastcopywriter What you are describing sounds like you were flagged by the algorithm as a poor seller. Are your impressions almost non-existing? If yes, you need to improve your Buyer Satisfaction Ratio to get back promoted gigs and bring back organic traffic to your gigs. Try bringing in local clients or advertise on social media. And as for seller plus, it has been so good for me that I cannot imagine working on Fiverr without it. If you were not offered the option for a success manager, you may only have been eligible for the first tier of seller plus. I think these days they have standard and premium. My 2 Cents. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was one of the 200 people and I am ok with the $19, even if I don't really work with the success manager. The features overall are ok and they are adding more.. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This - there was a list to choose from who all had their own areas of interest, and you had to click through to see their availability for a first call. I had to wait a little longer to book a meeting with an SM who specialises in my area but hopefully it'll be worth it (first meeting tomorrow!) 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironically, after quitting SellerPlus, Promoted Gigs welcomed me back, and now my 512 in the past 7 days. This is still very little compared to the 3,000 impressions I used to get. Thank you for your comment. Facebook won't allow me to advertise my gigs unless I use a landing page, I can't advertise directly to Fiverr dot com / my username. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, promoted gigs kicks you out if your Buyer satisfaction rate falls below the standard! The other event that you mention must be a coincidence. It is possible that the negative feedback that you received fell off your gig stats after its active period ran out and/or you received positive private feedback which may have raised your average. Just an informed guess! Edited November 3, 2022 by sunboatrecords 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
