You don't have to be online all the time to get orders. If anything it feels suspicious that you are always online. And that won't get you more work, either.

It is not possible to active 24/7 and you don't need to be active all the time. If you are active for 24/7 then there must be you are using any tools to be active all the time.

I appreciate you. But here's a question, if anybody assigns someone to look after their Fiverr profile for 2 shifts or 3 shifts a day, so that it can be active 24 hours . will the Fiverr algorithm still consider it suspicious?

It is never a good idea to try to cheat the system. If you have someone "look after" your Fiverr profile, they could endanger your account by interacting with a customer in a way you would not. Thus, your Seller Success Score would suffer. Don't chance it. Most buyers understand this is a world market and will wait for your reply if they want your services.

I'm sure you know people who do this. 

What's their rationale?? Are they new sellers or successful ones who get 100s of orders every month by being online??

Yes, I saw. They are still in the middle stage, And some people are new. Fiverr is such a marketplace now, there is no profit with 2-4 hours of time, let alone getting work, you can't find gigs. It has become even more difficult for us newbies. I have also seen that many are gradually getting frustrated and are now leaving this profession. Now what do you say about my previous question?

If someone hires people and keeps their account active for 24 hours, then where is the cheat here? If you know the source, please give it. Because I still don't know that matter.
And I think it's foolish to think that the buyer will wait for your reply. Because he sends messages to several people at once. In this, the one who replies first has a higher chance of getting the job. Isn't it?

It probably depends if you're being open about it on the your profile/your gigs. If your profile says it's just 1 person and you actually have a team of at least 3 people working on your account that would be misleading to Fiverr/buyers. eg. the Terms of service says the profile "must be accurate and complete and may not be misleading...".

Some sellers say they have a team working for them (though not all might be using their accounts). It's safest to check with Fiverr customer support if you're thinking of doing that, and having multiple people using your account and if they say it's okay you could do that. But even so they don't need to be constantly online,/active on Fiverr, just to respond to messages etc. in a reasonable amount of time.

It probably would find it suspicious, at least if it was reloading pages very frequently and you hadn't said on your profile that it was a team. Too frequent reloading of pages would probably get a screen saying it thinks it's not a human and block the IP address for some time (but probably only if it's like multiple loads within a few seconds).

Very good said. Well, if a person manages an account, how many hours a day do you think is reasonable for him to be online? So that the gig does not disappear, it depends on his activity time.

I am not talking about the Fiverr algorithm here. I am talking about buyers. If they enter the site randomly multiple times a day and you're always there, every day at any time, doens't that feel suspicious to you? I would avoid working with someone like that myself, because it's clear they are scamming the system one way or another. So for me it's a red flag and I am sure I am not alone.

And this too. There are even PRO sellers that lie and say "me" when in reality they hire a ton of other sellers without saying that. So there are definitely people that lie about who does the work. It's unethical, but Fiverr doesn't ban them for that, at least not for now.

I don't think you need to be 'online'/active on Fiverr hours. Just respond to messages with a reasonable amount of time. While years ago Fiverr staff basically said sellers who are active have their gigs moved up in the searches (that that was one of the things their ranking algorithm took into account), that's probably changed now, including the fact that Fiverr has moved the "online" search filter to make it harder to find (and the fact that some people are likely cheating the system to make it look like they're online/active). There's no point constantly refreshing pages on Fiverr to make it seem like you're online if you're not doing any important stuff on Fiverr. Though if you leave it months without going online/active on Fiverr, Fiverr will probably put the gigs on hold.

You guys are funny and quite keen on MANIPULATING the system!!

1. Fiverr is NOT a profession the way you all treat it. It is a PLACE FOR PROFESSIONALS. (it is not a job portal)

2. The place is crowded because people without any skills create gigs and pretend to be EXPARTS with fake work experience. Look around, how many people claim to be (professional and expert in <any skill name> with 2 to 6 years of experience). 

3. A freelance platform is NOT a profit center where people will become rich with 2 to 4 hours of time.

Yep..! I don't think a buyer will have time to check another seller's profile at different times of the day. However, I am not saying that I will be active 24 hours a day to scam/cheat, I am saying this so that I can reply to the buyer's message on time. Because most of the buyer's time is not the same as our time. And you also know how it affects the account if we don't reply on time. How long do you think we can get orders organically if we stay active in such a difficult situation?

Just let it be. If you want to cheat or not cheat and actually stay awake just to be online for nothing, go ahead. Staying online is proven to not give you orders. 

You have a much better chance of getting orders if you provide a great, valuable service. Offer something unique, not the same stuff as thousands of other sellers.

Bother,,I am very sorry about point number 2 because I don't like it either. And I also warn such people.
I am impressed by all your points. And yes, I am not manipulating, I can find out through discussion, right?

Genuine and good buyers always wait for a seller to respond✅ and those who want an online seller who can deliver the work immediately are the kind of BUYERS one should avoid.❌

This rumour of being online for orders has been around for 10+ years on Fiverr and people still arrive here believing in it. It has never helped anyone.
