The promoted gigs feature has been working very well for me over the past few months, but I do feel that there is an opportunity to increase the efficiency of it from a financial planning perspective. 

In my past professional life I spent a few years as a licensed financial advisor, and found that long-term and medium-term spending plans are far more efficient for overall financial planning on a personal and business level than shorter-term spending plans like weekly or daily budgets (tending to the garden's overall health vs tending to a single flower while weeds take over everything else, so to speak). 

With this in mind, rather than a daily spending cap, I would love to see a 

 option for promoted gigs. This would enable sellers to more efficiently plan out their monthly expenses, leading to more predictable expenditures and more efficient financial management of resources. This is also much more in line with promotional advertising for your business outside of Fiverr, where pay-per-click ads are frequently built around a campaign budget, rather than a daily budget without a total ceiling. 

 do this ourselves with a little math [desired monthly spend / # of days in a month] to come up with a daily budget number this creates an avoidable compromise and leaves something to be desired, since Fiverr will sometimes spend a huge portion of our daily budget and other days spend very little of it. 

If I want to limit promoted gig spending to $500/mo I could take $500/31 days and set my daily limit at $16/day. The problem with that is that I have frequently had days where Fiverr spends $30+ of my $50 daily allotment and successfully nets a ton of work. I wouldn't want those high-spending days to be limited by a smaller daily cap. A monthly spending cap would help me to control the total monthly spend without compromising and missing out on these high-spend/high-return days. Yes, eventually you would run out of monthly budget and promotional clicks would stop, but you could have more of your cake and eat it too without allowing ad spend to overwhelm your expectations. 

My two cents. Yoav, I'd love it if you could forward this feedback.
