  1. If you are seriously interested in upping your freelancing game and

    weathering this current storm, I am considering creating a paid group accelerator program. Limited seats available.

    • Weekly meetings

    • A board where you can post questions that I will answer

    • Ready-to-use templates

    • Direct access to me and my insights.

    Plus when being a part of a group you learn faster because you can see what everyone else is experiencing.

    PM me for details.

      Sounds interesting, but currently and over the next few months, I'm weathering the storm of having to move, including not just apartment hunting (soo difficult to find something affordable these days, and a felt 99% of all offers are exactly in the one and only neighborhood you do not want to move to...) but selling furniture and stuff on eBay (eBay buyers can be every bit as bad as some here, veritable end game bosses, and the spammers and other time-wasters, incredible!... 😅), so I'd actually not mind more free time, but, of course :), when you could need fewer orders, more come in... 🙃

      Hope it will be fun and effective for y'all, though! In case I'll eventually emerge after the move, and won't be living under a bridge without WiFi, and the storm's still blowing, I'll check in to see what you're up to.

      If you can share some details Frank, I would be happy to enter. Thanks for the opportunity!

  2. Writing is hard. But I appreciate it more as I get older. 
     

    Fiverr 4.0 is almost done. Now I need to find some funny gifs. 😛

  3. Sellers who name drop companies they never worked for in their “top clients” feature:

    Fiverr is now aware of it -thanks to yours truly- and will start making moves. 🙂

      Awesome. There's not much that can still bother me, but that feature set-up can really deceive customers big-time if abused. Much harder to see through than stolen profile pics.

  4. OK, it’s settled. Everyone, mark your calendars. March 20th, 8pm GMT +2.

    Fiverr 4.0.

    I’m already 3 pages in.

      And on the 25th it is my birthday! 🎂

      I'll make a note about the date. Thanks for sharing this kind of content with us all.

      I doubt I'd still read the forum if it wasn't for the following function. Looking forward to your post!

  5. New profile pic? I want to refresh but unsure of the direction. Any opinions? 🙂

      Is this a birthday present for yourself? It looks like you are going for a more edgy look.

      As an ex-photo retoucher—who did the work by hand with pencils, oil paints, and chalk—I would ask your photo retoucher to enhance the tiny white reflection dot in the upper left part of your left eye. It is not very bright and makes that eye look more "dead". Also, since the only light in the image is coming from your right, the little white dot in your left eye should be in a similar position as the one in your right eye.

      And now that I look at the eyes again, the blue curve of your iris on your right side is much brighter than the one on your left side, which is odd because that eye is on the side of your face with less light on it. Maybe it was retouched to be a brighter blue. So, I enlarged your eyes and found this. ⬇️ Do your eyes naturally have a darker ring around the outer edge? (I have a granddaughter whose eyes are like that.) Do you see how your left eye looks more prominent than your right? They should be more similar. Some of the work on your left eye looks overdone, and on your right eye, it is a bit underdone. Screenshot2023-02-21at4_09_33PM.thumb.png.acc064d00375b3ee82baeab4af7218c6.png

      When I cover the left side of your face with my hand, the right side appears warm and friendly. When I cover the right side of your face, the left side looks hard and angry. The image sends mixed messages to the viewer. However, I think correcting the eyes could unite your face into one that is warm and friendly.

  6. Should I risk angering the Gods by writing a new “state of Fiverr” article before my birthday? (03/20)

    1. miiila

      miiila

      Maybe the Gods would even appreciate something outside of the routine. In case you know the DN manga/anime/movies, the Shinigami are terribly bored, which starts the the whole malarkey. Go with your guts.

  7. Partial you say? Hmmm.

      Not sure what you are saying, but as I'm here anyway, I'll leave a "Today is a good day to be happy" here (it's true, after all, despite being a cheesy print on my shirt). Have a happy Sunday! ☀️

  8. Super bored right now. Uninspired to work. Anyone up for a quick impromptu live Q&A session?

      yes but you would be paid for your time. Plus you won't get "dragged" you set your availability beforehand.

    3. vickiespencer

      vickiespencer

      I saw that I could set my availability, so I would have to dress up on only certain days. Would I know ahead of time that I had a video chat?

      Video chats will post on your calendar ahead of time, Vickie. 

  9. Is anyone else receiving Fiverr emails in Spanish all of a sudden, or is it just me??

      Lucky you! Now I need to somehow learn Spanish in order to understand what's happening with my orders.

      Perhaps, the universe is sending you a subtle clue to relocate to the Canary Islands, where it is always 25 degrees!

      Mine look as usual. I vaguely remember one or two incidents where we all had different usernames when logging into ... forum, or main site, too? I forgot. Make sure to check if it says "pedro_e" or something instead of "frank_d" there 😉

      Probably not, but would be interesting to know how that can happen, though. Someone tried logging into your account through a browser set to Spanish language? The AI had a Tequila too much last night? The AI having noticed that many leads with browsers set to Spanish are viewing your Gigs but don't buy, so it wants to motivate you to learn Spanish now? 🤔 Probably just a short circuit that will go away if someone from support bangs a hammer on your account or sprays a little WD-40 on it, aka "I refreshed your account". 😄

  12. I need a "pause everything" button. 🙂 

  13. Covid-19 sucks. Running a high fever for 5 days straight.

      @vickiespencer Today is the first time I am feeling better. Fever is down, I am now able to eat a bit more and don’t have headaches.

      I hope you're pretty fine again by now and won't have any lasting symptoms! 🤞

      It’s been a wild ride but I am feeling better now. Looks like today I may be able to stop isolating. 🙂

  15. Today I got the first positive response to my vision of what's next for Fiverr.com.

    Things will either start happening soon, or we'll get shot down within a month.

    Commencing a 30-day countdown.

      Your emoji choice skills are impeccable. That's exactly how this situation feels like at the moment.  🙃 🙃 🙃

      Shot down as in the whole site will be gone in 30 days?

    4. frank_d

      frank_d

      Hahaha! No, shot down as in my idea won’t be turned into a product.

  16. Apropos of nothing: if you are on the fence about the Fiverr seller Plus program, you better get on that and quick. 🤫

      ... if you don't want to end up like

      keep your smiles on that side of the fence! | Grumpy cat meme, Funny grumpy  cat memes, Grumpy cat

      ?

      Joking, of course, but that's one thing I don't get being on the fence about, even though I got a degree in indecisiveness. Why anyone wouldn't take that invitation if they get it, is beyond me.

    2. frank_d

      frank_d

      But yet, here we are. A lot if people are mulling it over apparently.

  17. Do you ever get decision-paralysis?

    I have so many things I want to post about for what's coming next on the platform that I can't decide where to start. 

    1. nomuffinsforyou

      nomuffinsforyou

      omgomg im so excitedd!!!

    2. miiila

      miiila

      Yes. Decision-paralysis, which also can, and often naturally does, result in procrastination, is certainly a thing for many people. In some areas, applied minimalism helps a lot; in others, not so much. 

      But, Frank, just give each thing a number, and roll the dice, we want to read, the order is secondary. 😉 

    3. frank_d

      frank_d

      That's a great idea @miiila I need to introduce chaos theory in order to stop procrastinating.

      I will roll the dice and see what comes up.

  18. I think I need a vacation. And chocolate cake. Maybe not in that order.

  19. I just finished exploring an unreleased Fiverr prototype and I have to say: we are finally getting some Quality of Life improvements in the UI, real soon.

    1. vickiespencer

      vickiespencer

      That sounds like a good think.

    2. donnovan86

      donnovan86

      Hopefully that also includes the much-needed way to stop people from ordering 20x your packages... But leaving that aside, quality of life improvements are great, so this sounds very exciting. 

  20. When you find out about 2 major Fiverr projects in one day, but can’t tell anyone…

      It seems like Fiverr is bringing several pots to a boil at the same time, Frank. Last week I got a message from my Success Manager that he was moving to another position within the company. When I asked, he said: 

      "While I can't reveal a ton of details on what's next, I'll be heavily involved in a brand new initiative for Fiverr - an initiative that will hopefully continue to expand Fiverr's reputation through partnership with other, notable brands!"

      It sure is an exciting time to be working at Fiverr!

    3. frank_d

      frank_d

      Who was your SM? Yes there are MANY initiatives happening at the same time. It is CRAZY. Partnerships, new tools, new pilot programs for sellers and maybe even a new way to make money 🤐

    4. danno1950

      danno1950

      Chris Banaczek. Wow, they are really moving in a lot of directions at once. I just hope they don't overreach and can't effectively support all the new initiatives. 

  21. Cup of coffee: CHECK

    Lo-fi music: CHECK

    Slice of Birthday cake: CHECK

    Writing about my latest Algorithm findings:

    I started typing it out.

      Hey Vickie, I am super-excited to make the announcement in a few hours.

      Just need to work on a few projects to clear my schedule a bit. 🙂

      Trust me, this is a big one.

      Hey @vickiespencer I just wrote a post talking about my trip. 🙂 

  23. I think I accidentally discovered a small Fiverr loophole. 
     

    I’m not sure I I should post about it or not. 

    1. frank_d

      frank_d

      Need to verify. I am working to see if I can replicate it plus I need one more source to confirm.

  24. Working on something exciting for everyone who wants to improve as a seller. Should be making an announcement soon. 🙂
