    @thedoreo That must be liberating! I tried animating characters in blender and it’s definitely fun once you get past the “OMG I suck so bad” phase. 🙂

    Hey @rakibul_13 thank you for joining the discussion. If you revisit my OP I said that you shouldn’t worry if those features aren’t yet available to you. What’s important is for you to use EVERYTHING that Fiverr offers you at this point in time. I am a TRS and Pro seller and my gigs are not “ranked”. I am not made. If I don’t follow what the marketplace does and work at making my gigs relevant, I will be out of a job in just a couple of months. I do recognize I am at an advantage when compared to a level 1 or level 2 seller, when it comes to the tools I have at my disposal. But this is not the point. A level 1 seller can still create a gig that’s more relevant than mine and fair better in search results.

    @uk1000 A quick update re: tags I edited my gig yesterday and those two tags magically appeared out of nowhere. I haven’t heard back from Fiverr yet so I assume it took time because they had to be manually added? I truly have no idea why those two tags took close to 5 days to appear.

    Sure I can absolutely post an update when I figure it out. Keep in mind that mine is a Pro gig, so there’s a tonne of intervention from a manual review/vetting team. They have final say whether or not a gig should be posted, and how things need to be presented. (I also just received an email where they ask me about my pricing, so there’s that)

    Hey @uk1000 thank you for your questions. My position remains unchanged: there is no more ranking. Only relevance and match making. However, a quick stroll on this forum will show you that users are obsessed with the word “rank”. So I had to get people’s attention and “speak their language”. I am still talking about the same thing though as I did in Fiverr 3.0. As for the tags: Using any less that 5 tags is wasteful as you are not taking advantage of the opportunity to add possible terms that a buyer may use when searching. If you are referring to the gig I live streamed, an interesting thing happened: the 3 “green” tags I used were A-OK. The two “yellow” tags I used were somehow rejected either by the system or by the manual review team that had to approve my gig. I was surprised by that myself, and I am looking into it, before adding them again. I can post a follow-up when I find out what happened if you are interested!

    I am using After Effects, Adobe Animate, Blender and Cinema 4D. I also downloaded Cavalry but I simply don’t have time to start learning a brand new piece of software. Octane and Redshift kicked my mental behind too much in 2021 already. 🙂

    Hey @sadsalice_ Fiverr can be intimidating at first, for sure. The good thing about Fiverr’s algorithm is that while it’s rather complicated, there’s also a side of it that’s all about quality. So if your gigs are solid, you end up fighting it less. If you familiarize yourself with concepts that I constantly bring up like relevancy and performance, you will see it’s just a system with rules and limitations, just like any other. @timothykoen I am sorry I missed your reply. It seems like the feature is not yet available to you. I also found out during my latest live stream, that you can’t have both milestones payment AND subscriptions enabled. It’s only one or the other.

    Hey @video_at_fvrr Nice to see you on the forum Jacky! Super-excited to get a new forum subcategory for my vertical. Hi there @thedoreo nice to meet you as well! So glad someone with your expertise and experience is there to help evaluate sellers in the video vertical. I wish more animators and video creators would come together here and discuss things openly. In my mind we are not competitors, we are peers.

    Hey @safe_keeping The lecture was on Wednesday. Here’s the recording: Be sure to subscribe to the channel if you want to watch more similar content. I am here if you have any questions after watching it!

    Capitalization is not important, spaces on the other hand, are. Typos will render them useless. Re: seller plus program To the best of my knowledge Fiverr wants to allow as many sellers as possible to join. I don’t think there’s a time limit, BUT as more features are announced at some point I estimate that demand will be far greater and therefore large waiting lists will probably be a thing.

    @catwriter Thank you for taking the time to watch. Let me know if you have any questions and/or feedback. Hope you found it useful. YT studio now shows 61 views, YT is new to me but from my understanding it is normal behavior. As for people discovering my content and engaging with me: I would love nothing more than to help fellow forum members but I suspect my content will attract its own crowd via YT and or other platforms. I will always post Fiverr specific things, but my content will start covering platform agnostic stuff, things that apply to ALL freelancers.

    @fiveroptic1 Well that’s an interesting conversation. There seems to be a large segment of sellers that message via inbox, asking me to check out their profile/gigs and tell them what to do. At the same time I post content here on the forum, usually with actionable advice, essentially sharing what I know or what has worked for me. But said content never gets any major traction. I think that deep down this is a maturity issue. Sellers that want me to help them in private don’t actually need my suggestions. They feel like I will fix things for them. Much like a parent would do. I’m not talking about people who message me with questions or seek out advice on specific issues, I love getting those! I’m talking about the “here’s a link to my stuff, figure it out and let me know” crowd.

    Haha thank you @surajkartha I don’t consider myself a guru, but I am an experienced freelancer, trying to share everything I know with anyone who is willing to learn and improve. The main difference between me and the self-proclaimed “YT gurus”, is that I am not promising cheats and shortcuts. Well that and you know, the fact that I can back any claim I make. 😉

    Thank you @melanielm Don’t worry about missing the live stream, it will stay there for you to revisit as needed. Glad to hear you found it helpful! I am now thinking about what to stream next. 🙂

    Hey @miiila yes leaving out the adjective is the way to go! 🙂 But as you can see, this verifies my thesis: I created a gig, relevant to what buyers are searching for, and I "ranked" immediately. This is what I was hoping would happen, and it did. Oh and cherry on top: I just got my first prospect asking about my service. 🙂
  16. frank_d
    Quick update: My gig is now live. Feel free to search for the title I used and see where I rank! 🙂
  17. frank_d
    @imagination7413 That’s great! Let me know if you have any questions!
  18. frank_d
    Thank you to everyone that joined! I hope you found it helpful and I hope to improve my streams and condense them in the future! 🙂
  19. frank_d
    Livestream will begin in roughly 7 minutes! Looking forward to seeing everyone there!
  20. frank_d
    hey @miiila tell me about it, I keep missing notifications for threads where people reply to my original post. 😞 Sounds great! Looking forward to seeing you in a few hours!
  21. frank_d
    @fiveroptic1 Aren’t you in the UK? If so I am two hours ahead, therefore it should be 5:30 pm your time. Clicking on the youtube link will show you a real-time countdown based on your time zone. 🙂

  23. frank_d
    @wp_kid always happy to see you on my streams! 🙂 Did you find my Seller Plus webinar helpful?
  24. frank_d
    OK seems like there’s some interest, so I will update this post with a link and time/date in a few hours. I may need to push for maybe even today/tomorrow as I would really like to publish my gig ASAP. 🙂
  25. frank_d
    Sounds like a plan @catwriter thank you!
