I have been using this feature but so far from 7 orders, I have spent $20 and out of these 7 two large orders are cancelled by the buyers within an hour of the order placement. Not sure, if they were real buyers or something is being done by the team to show orders. Moreover, since this feature has been started the flow of normal orders have reduced a lot

Good post. It is true that many buyers request samples, but I do refuse because of the copyright issue. I politely request them to have a look at my feedback and reviews, and if you feel that these reviews are earned, please give me a chance to work. I cannot share any samples.

Invested more than $50 in bidding etc but no luck.
What do you mean by this? Did you buy google ads? Did you pay to advertise your gigs? That’s not a good idea.
I concur with everyone else. Find something else to do besides Fiverr.
@fastcopywriter no ads but on other sites

My average gig selling amount was about $20 but for the last two months, no new orders except some small orders
Oh I see! hmm, did you change your gigs or edit them just before this happened? Have your impressions gone down. Let’s see what else could be the cause. More cancelled orders? Maybe it’s time to make a new gig and see how it does?
Thanks @misscrystal for the suggestions. Will see - but good news is I got an order today - small but good

Seems God is angry on me due to some reason
Working on fiverr and building up a business is slow going for most of us sellers. It takes years of work before you get an income you can count on. Do not expect lots of income in the first one year to four years. Keep improving and expect it to take a long time.
@misscrystal I must say that when started it was slow but for last 2 years I was really making a good income but for 2 months it has been slow. My average gig selling amount was about $20 but for the last two months, no new orders except some small orders

That’s why you don’t rely on it for your income.
Never, every rely on things you can’t control. There are plenty of other ways to make money. God isn’t angry with you. You’re just not thinking outside of the box. YOU are responsible for your success, not Fiverr or God.
@humanissocial maybe I am not thinking out of the box or I may not have that capability; hence, any guidance is welcome

Find something to do besides Fiverr. I know how you feel, my average daily income is $7.46 a day. A few years ago, it was $50 a day, $60 a day, but that’s life. You’re on top today, on the bottom tomorrow, maybe back on top someday.
@fastcopywriter friend, this is too low to earn less than $50 a day to run a house and fulfill needs of the family when you are a full-time freelancer. I am really getting worried. Tried some more options but not getting work from there too. Invested more than $50 in bidding etc but no luck. Seems God is angry on me due to some reason

Then maybe you need to raise your prices to be at her level, or $5/$10 below.
@fastcopywriter My prices are already low but I do not know why I am not getting work these days. Really down and hopeless

Is your successful competitor charging lower or higher prices? Does he have better portfolio samples? Either way, save your old description somewhere, like a word document, just in case the new description doesn’t deliver results.
@fastcopywriter she is charging more than me

I’m not sure what you mean.
Success on Fiverr requires a lot of trial and error, and even if you create a perfect gig that’s popular today, it might not be popular tomorrow.
My advice is to have a mixture of gigs, some for a general audience (logos), others for a niche audience (hotel logos), sometimes gigs that don’t relate. There are writers who can design logos for example (I’m not one of them).
Just remember to avoid the definition of insanity: doing the same thing and expecting a different result.
If what you’re doing isn’t working, do something else.
@fastcopywriter, you are correct. I think it’s the time for me to rewrite my gig’s description as someone else might have taken it from my gig and used as is; similarly someone else did almost an year or two ago and he started getting huge orders and mine orders were reduced.

Well, I don’t know about those numbers.
Refunds do lower the row where you appear, so instead of appearing on row 1, you might appear on row 4, or page 2, it depends.
Negative reviews aren’t as bad as refunds, unless your overall rating falls below 4.7. I think being above 90% in Order Completion Rate is easier than being above 4.7. Could be worst, the minimum standard used to be 4.8.
As for going offline, don’t know what you mean. I never log out from Fiverr. I might put my computer to sleep, but I check it on my phone at least once a day. I don’t know if Fiverr puts me offline.
Maybe you mean going on vacation? That might create a sales slump for a few days, after you return from vacation.
My advice is find an alternative to Fiverr when things are bad.
fastcopywriter Can you suggest any good alternative where the buyers flood i.e. a huge list of buyers, can be seen?

If I already did the work, especially for a nightmare client, I won’t cancel the order.
Suppose your 60-day rating is 4.7, and you deliver that order, he gives you 1 star, even 3 stars will make your rating drop to 4.6. Then you get demoted and your orders fall by 50%, maybe more. How will you feel then?
The old Fiverr was better. My order completion rate was 87% and I was making $1,500 to $2,000 a month. Then came the level system, and I lost everything.
Yes, you are right, I think because
When you cancel an order or a buyer cancels an order due to any reason like wrong gig selected, price, etc. your orders are reduced by several times.
A negative review means reduced orders by 50%70%
You go offline for a few days and your orders are reduced by 95%
Late delivery even due to buyer’s fault will lead into reduced orders.
I am facing all these issues and lost on my targets.

Fiverr is a great platform, better then any other freelance platform. Go checkout the others and you will come back.
@ peter_on_5verr you are right, it is one of the best platforms

- Either the seller will receive payment, and then negative feedback.
- Either the seller will not receive payment.
there’s actually a 3rd option as well… a bad review then a chargeback :)) … so you get the negative review and no money ha ha
cre8iveartwork This is the worst option I think and I had faced this as well once or twice

Launching Promoted Gigs
in General News
Posted
Yes, it was great but as the time is passing by, the cost to promote gigs is increasing and the ratio of the amount spent and orders received is being too less. This month I had spent $20 and got an order of just $42, This is not really good. Seems like we are now a tool to fetch extra money only
