What does that smackdown consist of?
For me it has taken the form one "m.od" in particular who has consistently stalked me, removing posts and banning me from posting for a week at a time to the point of sheer harassment simply for "wrongthink." If only they put that energy into the thieves who scam all day long. They are somehow protected, coddled and encouraged.
Thanks for the clarification. That is just wrong!

Disagree with how Fiverr's AI decides if your business lives or dies? Brace yourself for a smackdown from management.

I asked the Fiverr Pro team how sharing my LinkedIn with them would help them with the matchmaking process and enhance my profile and the response I received was simply "As mentioned, we need it to better match freelancers with potential clients when we are doing manual matching, as well as to enhance your seller profile."
This is a great one! As if they ever still do "manual matching!"

Wow - this is huge news when another major seller leaves. I just watched the video - compelling!

What a great idea fiverr… didn’t you get rid of editing reviews a few years ago because it was a horrible idea? How did a horrible idea again became this brilliant idea? 🤦♀️
I'll tell you: it's because gen alpha and Z aren't able to hold a job for more than six months before moving on
Just wondering - are there any adults in the room when these youngster/developers are changing things "just because they can?"
2 hours ago, smashradio said:4 hours ago, emmaki said:...and if they'd listened to our valuable feedback at all before this even started, they wouldn't have needed the show....
can be translated into "this cost our CS team thousands of hours and overloaded them to the extent they couldn't deal with user issues that weren't self-inflicted by an [insert adjective of choice] product development team so we're rolling it back even though it means sellers and buyers can more easily manipulate each other again gosh why is it so hard to make a good review system when we're not dealing with bad actors? Also rolling this back is cheaper than dealing with the app bug so like whatever"
That's my feedback on that point.
I agree. And all of this could have been avoided if they just bothered running in by some of their senior sellers, like us, before they launched it.
I'm sorry, that just wouldn't work - it makes too much sense.

I bet it's a new set of developers who just "discovered" this concept, and don't remember what went before.

p.s. did anyone else noticed 0 impressions in gig metrics on all their gigs today or is it just me?
Check the date. If it is today, they don't update the impressions until much later in the day, so yours will show 0 for right now.

Has anyone been able to view what these new profiles look like?
I tried to log in to see what the profiles looked like, but then read something Emmaki posted, which indicated you can't log in until you are asked by a client. Odd.

The Fiverr Enterprise thread. I've been posting about it for 3 hours to tumbleweeds!
I know Emmaki - I've been shocked at how little reaction there has been to this Enterprise concept.

Is it just me who is finding it easy to get 5 star reviews in this new system? I mean, I was really worried about it before but apart from turning on RTO, I haven't really changed anything about how I work.... the inbox hasn't exactly been singing and I've just spent a bit more time vetting prospects.
I'm just asking because while everyone - including me! - has been rabbling about all the bad points of the new system, nobody's really shared if their experience is ultimately unchanged.
Same here - I've gotten several 5 star reviews since this new system was deployed. I already had RTO turned on for all my gigs, so my experience just hasn't changed. I think RTO has afforded me the mechanism to pre-screen buyers, which I do by asking an extensive set of questions to define their project. I've declined several opportunities that experience has taught me looked like they could lead to a troublesome outcome. It just miminized the potential for low reviews.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's actually a bug...
This is a theme that has been discussed before with Fiverr. They deploy new initiatives without sufficient testing up front, which leads to unintended consequences in the form of bugs and functions that don't work properly.

I don't know. I just don't know what more I can do to improve nor what I'm doing wrong.
I would suggest that you not accept the premise that the uneven results of this new Fiverr level system are somehow your fault.

I'd suggest turning on the "Request to Order" feature if you can. This means the buyer has to reach out to you before they can place an order. It helps to have a conversation and get an idea of what you offer and what the client might expect from you before even starting an order.
This is the best feature Fiverr ever got for us. RTO has eliminated the hassles I had with buyers who ordered something I didn't offer, buyers who had obviously not taken the time to read what I provide. It has also made cancellations a headache of the past for me.

I haven't experienced a dropoff in contacts or orders from buyers.

When I first started, it took me about 2 months to get my first order. I had to just be patient until that happened.

But I delivered this logo about 1 month ago due to lake of time I do not make a perfect concept but now I found amazing concept for my client
I didn't realize it had been that long ago. That does make a difference.

I think I would choose this option. I would explain the circumstances, so he understands why the late and amended delivery. He may still be able to change to the new logo, depending on where he is using it.

I've done that several times, and I've never been aware that it violated any Fiverr Terms of Service. I think it just shows a commitment to giving your buyer the best product possible, and will likely improve your relationship with that buyer.

Bottom line is that no amount of AI is ever going to be able to fix the phenomena of people asking for $1000 worth of work for $12.
Well said! This is the essence of the problem with buyer requests/buyer briefs/NEO.

They'll probably keep both. At least for quite a while. Though they kept both buyer requests and briefs for a while before they removed buyer requests. So they might keep both Neo and the normal way of entering briefs for a while until, if Neo works well enough, they might remove the current way of sending briefs.
Yes, that would make sense. I have no problem with that, but there sure has been a lack of information since it "launched." I've just posted a thread asking if anyone can provide clarifications about NEO.
On 8/16/2023 at 4:44 PM, uk1000 said:Neo is mentioned 12 times in this call transcript:
though that was from the 3rd of August, and there they said:
You know, I saw the same thing with Fiverr Business. A lot of hype pre-launch, and then it just quietly slipped off the radar over the next few months. I suspect because it wasn't all that great a success. I wonder if the same might be happening with NEO. When Fiverr stops talking about a new initiative - that's a clue.

So it seems like a new way of generating and then sending the briefs.
That makes sense. Could it be that they will be keeping and using both methods - NEO and the current buyer briefs? Sure wish we could get some more information about this. Makes you wonder how NEO is or is not working out in practice - maybe they don't want to talk about it.

Same as it ever was!
That is my experience of the current buyer briefs. I have twice asked if this NEO function is actually being used, since I'm still on the waiting list to try it out. If NEO is doing the matching - what a horrific fail that is!
The Fiverr announcement said this: " Leveraging the latest technology and cutting-edge algorithms to create a ground-breaking matching tool, Fiverr Neo™ offers faster, better, and more personalized experiences."
Oh really? With the ultimate irony, as I wrote this, I got another buyer brief that was a terrible mismatch.

From what I understand, NEO shouldn't have anything to do with buyer briefs?
In watching the video about it, it looks like it is a new AI way to match buyers with sellers. From the launch announcement: "Today, I am really excited to announce the launch of Fiverr Neo™ which is designed to do exactly that - introduce an all-new experience that will allow our customers to express their needs and be matched with the right solution."
The Fiverr announcement said this: " Leveraging the latest technology and cutting-edge algorithms to create a ground-breaking matching tool, Fiverr Neo™ offers faster, better, and more personalized experiences."
I get the impression that this would replace the existing buyer brief process. I may be wrong, but the lack of followup information by Fiverr has left me pretty baffled about it, to be honest.

Absolutely! RTO is a game changer. The rest - very little value.
