How Fiver Forum is Ruining your Fiver Gig Stats

[stack_craftsmen]

I been posting in Forum for multiple reasons from past few days and last night i didn't post anything in forum and get to know most of my Gig's Impressions and Clicks were from Forum from other seller's of no value 

They were exponentially growing in past days but last night the bubble gets burst and first time it got down to 20 from 100 gain on daily basis 

i had a feeling before that something is wrong there even after daily 100 to 150 impression upward and clicks 

1- i was getting no messages from the clickers only spams 

2- my gigs were no where around the keyword 

 

it means external impressions on profiles and clicks doesn't rank you on your keyword resulted pages 

it only happens when u get yourself a order otherwise blank empty gig in terms of reviews and orders queue does not rank itself 

there's another approach too maybe your gig's though having low competition keywords have the seller level distribution towards top-rated , lv 02 or Guys with High numober of Orders in Queue in order to be among them u need to have somewhat similar stats to them 

Now lets talk about how you are going to be there in a full foggy and blurred roadmap i see only one approach 

Your Gigs should have hybrid nature of very very low competition keywords and low Competition keywords

Once u gets easily ranked on very very low competition u start getting clicks with a possibility of converting those clicks into conversion 

You'll rank on big whales too 

 

Disclaimer : You should not post frequently on fiver forums or u might get miss understood for your gig's stats 

One Question : if i want to make any change now in order to improve my Gig is it recommended or not 

2nd Question : 01 Gig vs 04 Gigs conflict didn't get resolved

• Fiverr Forum and Fiverr.com has nothing to do with each other because they are separate platforms. These are your only assumptions and nothing else. Secondly, your buyers are also not on the Forum. 
• I have been on Fiverr.com for 10 years and few years on the Forum but nothing has affected my sales and other metrics.
• If your clicks and impressions are dropping then it means your gigs are not performing because clicks and impressions are mainly associated with your gig performance.. not Forum's..
• If you feel like to do changes in your gigs then go ahead.
• Your niche is Website Development so have you ever checked it's competition on Fiverr? It's super tough.
• Another reason of your low clicks and impressions are because of other sellers who are performing well than you.
• Kindly improve your gig galleries. They are not good enough to attract buyer's attention (even I am not impressed with them - sorry to say this)
• According to your personal description, you have 8 years of experience in the field then where is the proof? Portfolio has blurred images. Add some of your previous work in a creative way in your gig galleries. 
• In one gig, you have used your own picture and other gig has a female picture? Why is that? Just asking..

OP comes up with an over-analysed topic every day, filled with obscure-incomprehensible observations quoted as 'path-breaking facts'.

All these topics also end with demanding questions like 9 PM debates on prime-time news channels.

Wow! @smartdezigns and @priyank_mod  Have already covered off what I was going to say. 

But that is 15 seconds of reading my life will never get back. 

It's worth noting that the 5 steps of any analysis are

Step 1: Write your hypotheses and plan your research design. 
Step 2: Collect data from a sample. ...
Step 3: Summarize your data with descriptive statistics. ...
Step 4: Test hypotheses or make estimates with inferential statistics. ...
Step 5: Interpret your results.

You haven't done any of this, and have created a big angry bowl of word soup!

Not really. He is just frustrated and blaming on Forum for decrease in his gig impressions and clicks. Secondly, may be he is Expart.. you know that word very well. 😅

You have NO orders, no reviews. Fiverr gave you a boost because you have a new account. But eventually, they will stop that boost and give it to someone else, if you're not generating any orders/revenue, obviously. So that's the extent of not getting impressions. And who cares about impressions, really? You should care about who/if someone clicks on your gig, not if they see it and move away. Because that's what impressions are, people see your gig in search results or in categories and don't click on it. Why would you care about that???

99.99% of people assume that they are 'special' and they have done some 'out of the box work' by doing basic gig SEO & gallery. So when a few impressions and clicks arrive, they feel elated and think that these things will grow and last forever!!

But alas....

I think it's even worse, a lot of new sellers feel entitled to work because this is their "workplace". But Fiverr is obviously not a workplace, you are not hired by them. It's just a marketplace where you do freelance work. You still have to handle it as your own business, Fiverr won't miraculously give you work. If you are good and receive very good reviews, the algorithm will direct people your way. But realistically, newcomers expecting work because they are special is unrealistic. I am not saying they are unskilled, some might have great skills, however if you can't run this as a business and be your own boss, maybe freelancing is not something you are suitable for. And I am saying this after over a decade of freelancing here.

😆Good one !! I posted two days ago about whether it’s better to have 1 Gig vs. 4 Gigs active as a starter or new seller on Fiverr. I’m trying to improve my approach by observing my competitors. What I’ve noticed is that many successful sellers, whether they’re new sellers, Level 1, or Level 2, tend to have only one gig active  with a good number of orders in their queue.

This made me wonder if having only one well-optimized gig is the better strategy compared to creating multiple gigs under the same service type or category ( in simpler words cloning of gigs with a different thumbnail and keyword ( URL , Title, Tags )  only - and these thumbnails also show similarity to some seller's thumbnails who use a single template for all gigs or we can say themed thumbnails ) just to target different keywords.

So basically trying different Gigs on the base of Keywords and Thumbnails all under the same service type or category seems to be not working for me 

I Should stick to one 

Here’s what I was thinking:

• You can have up to 4 gigs published, but they should all belong to the Different category.
• For example, if your main gig is for custom websites, it might be better to have another gig for web applications, API integration, or Bootstrap conversion.
• These gigs should still show similarity in skillset or fall under the same niche, like website development or software development.
• Each gig should differ in important details such as packages, pricing, descriptions, and FAQs to offer unique services.

Unfortunately, this query didn’t get answered or much engagement—possibly because the title wasn’t clickbait enough. 

So these titles are Intentional just to grab attention of valuable people like you who i want to offend in order to get a constructive feedback😆

And In this post , maybe i was not able to convey the message or Problem i want to address

I just loved Your Feedback!!  I will start acting on your Suggestions right now , 

I never Said forum was the reason behind my impression and clicks dropping , what i wanted to say is that in the starter days when its been only a few days to your gig being published avoid posting on forum via your main Account 

Because

What i see is that on your forum profile , your Seller Profile is hyperlinked anyone can visit your seller profile and CLICK on your Gig and leaves a impression by visiting it 

When u post something a advice, information  or a Query on Forum , People Being other Sellers no valuable to you as a Buyer visit your Forum Profile , Most likely to redirect themselves to your Seller Profile which is hyperlinked on your Forum Profile and Get a preview of Your Profile with a perspective of Seller Profile or Gig Inspiration 

Even on your forum profile u can see the number of visitors on your forum profile more than 80% to what i believe visit your seller profile 

So in starting stage , the very first week of Gig being active you get confused with the impression and clicks coming from Fiver forum 

that is that your gig ranking or are these impressions and clicks from visitors on fiver forum 

Conclusion : why i made this assumption i can be totally wrong but based on statistics of Gigs the day i didn't post here statistic of gigs drop  and other day's when i post here increase in hundreds 

BTW l couldn't update my profile description for some technical issue 

loved your gig galleries Suggestion

I use different thumbnail pictures to test which one can grab more clicks or looks catchy to users and stand alone still there are some flaws in it over-element use just to make it appealing made it a mess , should have use a solid color , no-padding ( making it unresponsive for buyer using mobile-phones ) and all of these are based on some potential seller's using same kind of pattern in thumbnail , 

because to what i believe againnnnn  , i have seen sellers copying titles , thumbnail patterns of other potential seller's somewhere fall around 

But Being creative overall and Standing alone in your Patterns and Service type works out too

Nope. Gigs should not be identical. I am a writer myself, so I can have 4 gigs in articles and blog posts, in the SEO section. They just have to be different. That means one gig can be about general article writing, another one can be for medical writing, games writing, tech writing and so on.

After perusing your profile, it seems that you have gigs that are VERY similar to thousands others. Try to offer something unique, that other people don't offer. Otherwise, you compete with people that already have a lot of reviews and sales, and which are easier to trust based on their track record.

That's your own choice that you want to add your profile link on Forum's profile or not. I will say it again that Forum and Fiverr are two different things.. Secondly, you should not be more focused on these impressions and clicks as much as you should. I have never focused on these things (I have already mentioned this in my own topic too which is in Editor's pick on the right panel - 4th topic)

Even on your forum profile u can see the number of visitors on your forum profile more than 80% to what i believe visit your seller profile 

So these visitors are bothering you? If so, then I am sorry, you should not be here on the Forum. Avoid using the Forum if it's really bothering you a lot just because of impressions and clicks.

Your assumptions are 100% wrong. Fiverr does not work like this way.

Let others do whatever they want. You should focus on yourself first. Improve your gigs and just be yourself.
