No. Out of interest, why are you asking a SMM expert such a mundane transaction question when a more fruitful venture could be made asking Customer Support who may then even add it to some issue barrel for future consideration?

As you were told elsewhere on the forums, a good start would be actually having a gig. HTH. Don’t use stock images of young girls, either.

Oh, I would read that a little more kindly: a full-time web dev who is also on Fiverr.

But then there’s the use of a hashtag where they don’t work like that, and the begging, which makes me think that your analysis is correct.

It’s pretty funny that everyone’s asking the enigmatic Gary questions and the (ignored) answers are coming from regular users. Ho hum. A PR masterpiece, indeed.

Interestingly enough, I just googled this thread and its invisible. So I googled the URL. Also invisible.

Given that I know that Google indexes forum threads incredibly fast (I saw 56 minutes once), this is very curious indeed

I would like to ask someone who knows more about this kind of thing what this means. I’ve just tested a bunch of thread URLs which are newer and have few replies and they’re all in the #1 spot. So what’s the deal? Something to do with keeping this out of search engine crawlers? But why, if this is an exciting campaign that Fiverr would want to drive to the world?

Why is it that I continue to ask the most interesting questions on this thread?

We are definitely on a tangent but I decided to have a look, to see what we were actually talking about. Fiverr went from a peak of 350th place to today’s 503rd place. It began with a major drop from May to June of last year, coincidentally at the same time as when Google announced a major “core algorithm update” which changed how Google ranked site quality.
The most interesting stat I got from Alexa, is it’s accurate, is that 8% of Fiverr traffic comes from Facebook. Only Google supplies more.

Is 8% of traffic low, average or what? I get that the sheer size of Facebook makes that question less relevant than if it was myboringpersonalblog.com, but just wondering.

Reminds me of something I read somewhere–of the world’s biggest “search engines” if you define them as “traffic delivery sites” rather than the classic search engine model, then Google was #1, Facebook #2 and YT #3. Although YT is basically video Google, so whatevs.

Gary’s doing a video. I’m not sure that he will be coming here to answer questions. As with most of these kind of posts, the expert parachutes in for a couple of hours at one point and cherrypicks questions. Fair enough, but if you look at Reddit’s AMA (Ask Me Anything), the most successful ones involve a lot more time and interaction.

Or it can be an “ask me about Rampart” disaster (Woody Harrelson AMA–a spectacular train wreck where Woody avoided some very awkward questions and wanted to talk about his film. Quality read)

All in all, Fiverr could take some lessons from the Reddit model, though that’s also imperfect.

Maybe they want to keep it out of search engine crawlers because the amount of non-related questions and spam (combined with the lack of actual questions that have something to do with the topic) is embarrassing?

That’s the most obvious assumption, but I like wearing my tinfoil hat–it really brings out my eye color. That said, the Fiverr employees who have some oversight into community outreach etc must have known that this would be “a thing”, and the most obvious way to combat that would be to simply delete the ‘mek sell’ posts.

I estimate that if this method was taken, there’d be 2 posts on here (car parts man and landscaping lady, who are both running small IRL businesses and what this whole thing is about anyway–but probably not from the 3 eligible cities, but for a 30 minute video segment, that’s fine. It’s enough time to give superficial good advice, which is what this really is)

Honestly, most of the sellers here with mek sell should just go listen to the podcasts, visit the academy or simply do their own research. You’re right, it is embarrassing, and it puts more competent sellers in a bad light, too.

My focus here is Opportunity Cost. Working on to something that brings results and neglecting which doesn’t.

I’m surprised that Gary uploaded a video on YouTube every week for years without getting results. I believe there were some other mediums for him that time which were producing him results.

What part of Gary kept him hustling into something that was not bringing in results?

Are you talking about his wine thing? I remember YT when it had just started, it was remarkable how quickly it took off. I also remember being annoyed because I was on pre-paid dialup at the time (it was as awful as it sounds!) and half the interesting stuff on the internet was now a long, long wait.

I think you may be missing a trick here: with video, at least, even then you could post the same video on various sites. The work was creating the video. The uploading it isn’t so much work.

I think, also, that your focus on only concentrating on things that work right now is short-sighted. You can call it opportunity cost, but what if it turns into opportunity loss when you ignore a new channel simply because it’s not as effective as an old stalwart?

Besides, a hustler hustles–and there’s no breed of hustler quite so resilient as the immigrant child. You’re forgetting the failure metric: if at first you don’t succeed, try, try and then try again. Success doesn’t always come from the right path, after all, but a diversion that reveals a golden nugget.

I think the modern culture of having it all RIGHT NOW (inc. results) has spoiled a lot of people. You can see it writ large all over this post.

I note that despite my advice to share more information about your business, you’ve evasively gone for opportunity costs; you are literally inviting a generic response here that cannot be tailored to your situation. It makes no sense to me to ask an expert a generic question when you could ask a probing question that makes them stop, think and want to solve your issue.

So, in talking about opportunity costs in this very specific scenario…do I need to finish that sentence?
