Mayday! Mayday!

Back from vacation mode, it’s been 6-7 hours and my Gigs are still not visible. Sent a message to customer support, let’s see what happens. Is this the beginning of my end on Fiverr? I don’t know, but even if it is, no regrets! Thanks for everything Fiverr, whatever happens. Will never say a bad word against something that has given me so much - not just money, I’ve made good money here, but more importantly, I got back my self-esteem. Now whatever happens, I’m in a better frame of mind than I was 3 years ago, and am ready and willing to take on new challenges. 🙂

The last time I did Vacation Mode for longer than 5 days it took about 3 days for my gigs to appear in search again. I’ve used VM for a day and had them show up in three or four hours, so it seems to me that the longer I’ve had it set, the longer it takes for them to go back up. I don’t know if that applies to you, but maybe!

I’ve read about gigs not appearing in search after coming back from vacation mode. I’ve used vacation mode in the past before and
I had no problems, but reading about this happening to you I am a bit worried since I am planning to go on vacation mode myself soon.
Keep us updated!

I really need that like button.
Loved your post.

Well, apparently gigs going invisible doesn´t only happen after vacation mode. However in both cases one can only wish fiverr is working on it full speed. I don´t think you have any reason for a ‘Mayday’ call though, for one, CS will react, and for another, you surely have repeat customers who are savvy enough to find you. 🙂 Nice post though either way.

We had some serious change in your runway, but don`t worry, you are a top rated pilot and we hope you can handle it well and survive! 😉

Febrile sycophancy for a multinational corporation aside, it’s well known that going on vacation mode/pausing gigs plummets you down into the dark depths of Hades. Personally, I opt to just extend gig deadlines and/or raise prices to control orders and avoid such situations. Such behavior can also be painted as never-ending passion and dedication for Our Great Company And All Who Sail In It, as well as highlighting the supernatural ability of sellers to work 24/7/365 like some creative automaton.

One imagines the temporary (or not so temporary, in some cases) lack of visibility is due to incurring the wrath of the captains of the ship who severely punish such mutiny and slacking off.

Or something. 6-7 hours is a little early to be pestering CS, I’d say. I’d leave it a week and inquire then.

Mayday Mayday… writer is making everybody crazy with his post again.

I already thought your house burned down or something. Chill out and relax…now you have time to exercise !!!

I bet in a few days we will be reading another post telling us how many orders you have and how busy you are. Want to bet? 🙂

[writer99025]

Yeah, I have about $1k in my to-do list, but they are from old clients…don’t want to lose the option of getting new clients, so hopefully customer support will sort it out 🙂

[writer99025]

Not slacking off, did a lot of work in the last month I’ve been on vacation. Made good money for Fiverr Lord 🙂

[writer99025]

Thanks brother, I am not stressed at all, if I was stressed I wouldn’t write a forum post on it 🙂

[Anna]

Good for you. Let us know what they say. I bet it’s another bug. I just came off vacation mode as well and my gigs are nowhere to be found either.

I took a one day vacation during a hurricane and haven’t been the same since.
It was my first vacation in four years.

Do you mean that your sales still haven’t recovered? I must admit that at the moment I really need a break and to hit the vacation button for a week or so, I’m just too paranoid because of past ‘oh well, time to build up the entire career again’ experiences.

[miiila]

Consider setting your allowed orders in queue number really really low instead maybe? That shouldn´t really have much effect I’d think. You could even leave it higher than really really low for say your tip gig, or something you´d get so much from that you´d be okay having it intrude in your break week, to make sure having all gigs on really low won´t do anything like trigger a vacation effect.

I took Miss Crystal’s post though more the humorous way, I hope I´ve been right with that lol!

[seotalent]

No Mr Writer, don’t worry, it will take sometime to re-rank your gigs on major keywords, You are earning fiverr handsome monthly amount after all 🙂

Kindly keep us updated how long it took.
All the best!

It came back but not quite to the level it was before.

[writer99025]

Drop a message to customer support. They will “refresh” the gig from their end, and it will be back.
