As per TOS, you are not allowed to create a new or second Fiverr account. So proceed with the existing account. Optimize it further i.e. change your gig images and add better gig images there, improve gig descriptions too.

If I deactivate this account and create a new one with new email and phone number.

What will be the difference then? That will be a brand new account and you have already an existing account so there will be no difference.

Better to proceed with the current one and work on it further. Like I said, you cannot create a 2nd account as per TOS so don't do it.

No need to create a new account. Just try to give full effort on it and optimize your profile and gigs as well.

I think that I will create an account with new attractive username and will be new to fiverr so fiverr will help me to boost my account as a new user.

Exactly, you said the right things, but it's up to him.

You're asking for advice, but you already know what you're going to do. So why post this question?

😀People are strange nowadays. They know all things but want suggestions.

I agree with you. If you have a feeling that a new account will do better, I'd say go for it. Go with gut instinct! You could cancel the old account with the help of customer support though, so that it gets deleted for sure and you have evidence of that. Do not just deactivate and leave it there (if that is even possible).

There is no reason why you shouldn't remove the old account by having it deleted from the system and start afresh; I did it myself and without doing it, my business wouldn't have taken off the way it has because there was some sort of anomaly on the old account and no matter what I did, it wouldn't gain traction. I nearly gave up on Fiverr and I'm glad I didn't.

I requested deletion of the old account and set up a new one, and from then, everything was amazing.

It's my understanding that you can delete your own account but if this were me, I'd ask Support to do it and then check it has gone, keeping copies of communications in case later, they assert you have two accounts! Call me sceptical... 🙂 Good luck!
