Too many sellers, less buyers on Fiverr now! TIPs here

[seo_and_web]

I think that awhile ago, fiverr reached a level of higher difficulty to make sales like before.

There might be too many sellers now compared to buyers or other Fiverr alternatives are taking the attention here and there in different flavors.



Does make sense?? Or I just see this and it is not true!



Let me know about your opinion and I will share you my tips later, let me see…

its hard to get buyer now… 😦

[seo_and_web]

yeah smileman, if I go back to more than 6 months ago I have been making good money too easily on Fiverr, now it is like nobody look at my gigs!

[krish1]

Same is the case with me. Sometime back I used to get buyers. Now almost no buyers for my gigs.

[orsted]

feel the same way… now i only got 1-2 buyer a week… so pathetic…

People want to see other people do what they tell them. There are many oddly specific gigs on Fiverr, which is great, but the potential lies in the “Request Gigs” section. What Fiverr needs to be doing is improving that section to allow room for more gig requests in higher volume, more frequently.



When someone sends a request, they are basically pledging $5 so long as the request is fulfilled.



When someone adds a gig, unless it’s amazing, the success is usually up to luck.

I think that fiver alternatves get the buyers.I too did not get any orders for a long time.

I am getting upto 5 buyers per week … Quite less but that’s OK with me as the number is constantly increasing !

That’s not just about Fiverr. Its the Internet “economy” all overthe world right now. This is just by my experience, and my knowledge from my social network, which may not be sufficient.

You just need to sell/do something no1 else is

Hi, you want to get rich on fiverr.com, try to sell unique “GIGs” here!

[alenzokepper]

Hi,



This is happening only to some specific section I believe.



Recently Google has changed their algorithm that’s why less buyer in seo section because Google penalize sites having paid links.



But in ASP.Net section there are quite good customers but this section takes a lot of time to complete the gig.



Right now I am involve in above sections only



Thanks

Reply to @aboredrichguy: Good points, but do you think improving the Requests section will overwhelm the buyers making those requests?

[seo_and_web]

Reply to @alenzokepper:

I don’t think so that Google penalize seriously!

I have seen some sellers with clear huge promotions and links to their gigs and they are the only sellers with huge sales.

It seems that you have to pay a lot of money/effort until you can get a great level of sales on Fiverr

[Guest evilpudding]

I imagine I wasn’t here a few months ago (I haven’t been here for a long time anyway) so I can’t compare. My personal anecdote is that some of my gigs were consistently getting ordered (not heavily, but at the same rate) and some never took off. It just bothered me that the ones I’d really like to do were the ones that never got any interest, and the boring ones were requested beyond my capabilities and I had to suspend them.



But again, perhaps I haven’t been here long enough to notice the decline. A decline is definitely predictable, what with the economy and all.

Unfortunately, I think that Fiverr is limited by the fact that the basic selling price is only $5. There are some mad skills and talent out there and it increasingly makes more sense to be able to sell at a price that’s more appropriate to the service or product. For example, someone says they can build you a WordPress website for $5. Realistically, this doesn’t fit into a $5 price category. I know you can create add-ons, but that doesn’t really work well.



Other folks have said it here already, but the Fiverr alternatives are gaining more attention, making Fiverr a seller-rich and buyer-poor environment.

[Guest evilpudding]

Yeah, but then it wouldn’t be fiverr, would it? It’s likely that other alternatives may be more profitable, but it always seemed to me, at least intuitively, that a fixed price would be more attractive to buyers.

[jagst3r15]

The $5 limit is starting to hinder things. I might try and find a Fragglesrock. Any good ones out there?

[eziline]

Reply to @mobiappsdev agreed with him. Just Sell some thing unique and which you think its necessary for modern trends:

[romie]

Reply to @macsage: Try creating gig that uses limited skills for $5 then you can use your extra creativity in ‘Extras’ which people will buy even if they have to spend $10, $20 or $50. Works for me. Get some ideas within your own gig! Dig in

[helpdoctor]

It is really hard , especially for new established sellers like me 😦

[Guest mrrapper]

i get loads of buyers…think what you describe your gig as and the gig videos make a loss

[cnolasco]

Hi,

I do agree, the request gig bar should if possible be able to be refreshed in real time.

But yeah is harder to get gigs nowdays.
