People genuinely think becoming a TRS guarantees anything. Even as a Pro seller, you are not guaranteed any sales. It's just a badge showing that you have a good track record on Fiverr and there are a few benefits (some of which are accessible via Seller Plus). So while it's great to have, it's not mandatory to be a TRS and make good money on Fiverr.

Advertise your services to people you already know, who may be interested in your services. I used to work in the property industry and after quitting my job to be a freelancer in branding and copywriting, I contacted some people I knew from the industry and was on good terms with (suppliers, ex-clients, ex-colleagues) just to let them know I changed my career, and telling them about what I do, but no hard selling. I also took an interest in what they were doing and what their challenges were and just had a nice chat. I usually connected with people via LinkedIn if I didn't already have their contacts, or got contacts of websites. 

A few weeks later my first order came from an ex-client who I had become acquaintances with over the years. This was a direct outcome of the call. You can at that point decide whether you want to carry these on on or off Fiverr as these are not Fiverr-generated leads so it's not against T&Cs. So putting some lower-value orders through Fiverr can help with building your reviews on there. 

During my first year, I received several orders via the family-friends-acquaintances network that I put through Fiverr to give me a head start. All of these were genuine orders for people who wanted the service (my first gig was LinkedIn profile optimisation). These then generated word of mouth as people asked who did their LinkedIn profiles and I got referrals. 

Another way I got orders from strangers was by pricing some smaller gigs low and overdelivering the heck out of them, making sure customers were super happy and doing everything to get those 5* reviews.

After having several 5* reviews, I've started getting orders for higher value gigs through Fiverr organically, but the friends-family-acquaintance network still keeps giving too.
