If I got a message from Fiverr asking me to take action so my gig can gain more visibility, I wouldn't even waste any seconds. Man, what exactly are you still waiting for? The notification literally says "... to make it shine and attract more buyers". You think they're joking?

Fiverr is an on-demand marketplace! Fiverr is an on-demand marketplace!! Fiverr is an on-demand marketplace!!! It's the same song I keep seeing in this forum, yet Fiverr encourage sellers to send custom offers, subscriptions & create milestones for some complex projects. Isn't it in the communication stage (inbox) that you send custom offers? I've seen pro sellers, too many TRS, & Rising Stars with this 'innocent & easy to digest' message in their descriptions (all with orders in queue), yet they still keep their badges. If fiverr don't frown at this, why should you? You can't just go around labeling sellers inexperienced or unprofessional simply because an argument doesn't fit your narrative. This is only your opinion, not the opinion of actual buyers ready to hire a seller. Not all gigs require this message, but some do. Agree or Disagree... THIS IS THE WAY!

I will never be comfortable placing an order on fiverr without messaging the seller first. I'm a seller too, but I've purchased quite a few services here too. I've received discounts from sellers, received my order faster than the duration set on their gig page and enjoyed many other benefits just by communicating with the seller first. Not all gigs require you to message the seller first, but some others do. Services on fiverr are not all the same.

Those were just suggestions that may have contributed to getting low impressions. Regardless, you still need to act or it will remain that way for a long time. Adjusting your seo is your best bet right now.

I would have started getting worried and shaking things up on April 16. It may have been from a bad review from a buyer (note that there's still one more review you don't get to see as a seller, but only fiverr & the buyer knows about). Order cancelation, late delivery and overall seller performance may have also contributed to this. Fiverr will eventually forgive you, but in the meantime, try adjusting your seo to improve your chances of getting back on search results.

It also depends on your seller level & selected gig category. If there's more buyers demand in that category, you will receive more BR.

Help! Just about to complete Assassin's Creed: Odyssey... The 3rd time! Next: Far Cry6 I love interactive games with good story & side quests where the actual ending is determined by your past decisions. You can easily replay the game, change your decisions and it will feel new.

Valid point! Also, you can contact CS for additional support. If you have a valid reason to cancel the order, they may do it in a way that it won't affect your seller metrics.

That was a bold step. Starting again from scratch is no joke. I hope you didn't lose all your previous repeat buyers.

This is a good suggestion. A lot of us picked random and weird usernames when we joined fiverr. Funny, I picked my username after a 'used to be' popular tech blog that i can no longer find on Google search result. It had 'giz' in it's name and my funny self thought it would be a good idea to use it as a prefix for my username. Many years later, It just didn't feel 'brandable' anymore. If fiverr could come up with a way to announce the changes to our previous buyers to avoid any confusion, this could work. You have no idea how bad I want to change my username. I wish there was a bold warning on the sign up page that states, "If you mess up with your username, you're stuck forever!"

This... so accurate. Do you also remember when an order 'that gets canceled for late delivery' used to be automatic 1star Review? Thanks for this well detailed post. I know I'm guilty of some of these points but will definitely do better!

Congratulations on your achievement! Next time i see a YouTube video talking about how fiverr is a cheap marketplace where 'everything' cost $5, I'll just direct them to this page. Your story is enough inspiration.

Love your hair!

Personally, I've never had any reason to use this feature so I can't confirm how it works exactly. But if you have concerns about using this feature maybe you should consider extending your order delivery duration instead. This works for me whenever I need more time for myself while still doing the job I love. Working freelance shouldn't feel like a 9-5 job everyday. You should be able to have time for your family and daughter and not feel burnt. I hope you find what works for you, good luck!

It's getting a lot harder to get good impressions on fiverr now. It's as if organic impressions no longer work here. Right now it seems only the pro sellers, top rated sellers & promoted gigs are getting good impressions/clicks. I'd really love to see an improved analytics section with more data to help us understand how/where to make adjustments as sellers. Adjust your description, seo, cover photo, add a video... response rate/order completion/on-time delivery all 100% but impressions keep nosediving. Here's my advise to sellers especially if you offer graphic design services - Start building your own audience on social media and get an online portfolio (not just pdfs) Good Luck!
