charlsmcfarlane Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Every year I’ve been on Fiverr, I’ve had a more successful year than the last. 2023 has been pretty tough, by comparison. I’ve seen a slight decline in impressions but nothing substantial. It seems to just be orders. Is this just the rising cost of living and people having less spending power, or is there something else going on? 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnovan86 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Hey! Yes, 2023 has been very bad for most people here. The global economy is bad, people are spending less, AI tools are thriving and freelancers have less work.. You name it. 14 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donnovan86 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 I mean, there are a lot of things. Even on Fiverr, the introduction of private reviews, combined with the focus on first time buyers really pushed a lot of people back in search. And yes, some buyers choose to go the AI route. 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. It’s weird because I’ve had a little surge again now. Still not as much as usual but a lot more than a month ago. I’ve always found orders come in waves personally but, at the moment, it seems the peaks are fewer and the valleys are deeper. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also having trouble getting orders, but while facing that I prefer to hone my skills again so that when there are many orders I'm not overwhelmed 🙂 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to continue to commit the same amount of time to freelancing than I normally would, even if I have no orders. So, I’ll update my portfolio, redo my gig videos etc. I guess it’s a good opportunity to do the little things that one doesn’t always have time for. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
