I'm new on Fiverr. I created around 10 gigs, but only one of them is making any sales. 

I have completed 11 orders on this one gig only. However, today I received a 1-star review from a client who clearly did not read the gig description properly. 

I completed this order on April 26th, and the client was completely satisfied with the service at that time. 

Today, on May 5th, he contacted me through inbox and asked why I did not install the premium plugin license on their website, which was not part of our initial agreement. I informed him that the license needed to be purchased separately as it was not covered in the base gig price. He acknowledged this and then left a 1-star review. 

Subsequently, my overall profile rating dropped from 5.0 to 4.4 in under a minute. 

I am uncertain if I will receive future orders on this gig. As my livelihood depends on this one gig, it is disheartening to have it affected by a single negative feedback, especially one that I believe is unfair. 

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions on how to regain traction and secure future orders, as I understand the impact of a 4.4-star rating on potential clients' trust. Thank you for your assistance and advice. 

Is there any hope left after receiving a devastating 1-star rating on Fiverr?
