Is anyone else noticing a decrease in orders/messages Since mid of August ?

[awaisahmad01]

Hey everyone,  
I’ve noticed a significant drop in orders and messages since mid-August. I’m wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same? Could it be due to seasonal trends or is something else at play? I would love to hear your thoughts and experiences!

Yes. I think this is a common theme. Some sellers seem unaffected but more and more sellers are noticing this

Heh man, thanks a million for your post here. I posted a similar thing in my own thread. 1000% agree with you here it's the same that's happened to me! 

At least that's 3 of us here that have had the same problem. I can't figure out why, but pretty much around July my requests have stopped. I've had about just 2 since then, whereas before I could get around 1-2 requests a week sometimes. Oddly it kinda started when I uploaded 4 videos onto my profile whereas before I had just my showreel. 

For what it's worth here's a copy/paste of what I wrote in my own thread here...
 

Then about 2 months ago I started to upload my work, which at that point was 4 videos of my videography/editing Fiverr gigs and other projects that I had made. I got 1 gig request message about 2 weeks after. 

Then I had my first unhappy customer from here who I had a falling out with. They came online with their PRO account for the first time in a few weeks the day after we had our last communication. They've never been on here since. 

About 2 weeks after this I got just 1 more gig message request. It's been a few weeks since that last message and still nothing. So the gig message request has gone dry. 

I'm trying to figure out why. 

Is it that after I uploaded just a handful of videos, that this may somehow effect the gig requests? (The work is fine that I put up.)

Could this unhappy client have signed in to their Pro account and done something to harm my work? Like report me for what happened to them and me outside of this site? Could their Pro account have allowed them to have a certain influence or position with Fiverr to get my profile blacklisted in some way? 

Or is it all a coincidence and it could be other reasons such as it's just maybe the time of year that affects work? (August - September.)

I uploaded a lot more videos today with more to come later. Not sure if that will make things better or not. It's weird that I got offers of work without having anything but a showreel to start with so I wonder that by taking down all my videos actually it could even have a positive effect and get me back to the original quantity of work offers?"

This is very true. I am a top-rated seller and can confirm that my traffic decreased significantly since July. This is unlike last year same period.

how can i know now 0 order 

 

[salmanjamshed]

Yes, Agreed.
Same here. The impressions have dropped. Even the promoted gig is performing like 2-3 impressions a day. Usually it got like 30 impressions.
No idea why though.

Agreed. Though I just joined here and haven't received my first order, I noticed a significant decrease in my business on other sites that I work on. Since July, I struggle to get new orders.

Mid August was busy for me, then it went back downhill in September.

August month was super busy but September is going fine for now (not similar to August's)..
