  1. Among Us and POTC in one meme. Can’t get any better. xD
  2. Adding on to @michal247’s POTC memes (: My luck when extra fast orders get placed on Friday night and liquid courage is needed to get through the weekend: Gfycat.com Oh. That's Why. GIF by anonymous #dead man's chest #film #jack sparrow #johnny depp #lol #pirates of the caribbean #rum
  3. An extremely relevant set of points @thatwordchick. Nicely done! Cannot agree with this more. My sanity has been doing several cartwheels out of sheer joy ever since I consciously started putting down more work-life boundaries.

  7. As the other meme goes, I could really do with some precedented times. xDD Screen Shot 2020-09-14 at 2.42.39 AM1250×1256 130 KB
  8. I’ve always found this one funny because this is literally what a typical Indian father might say. :rofl: PS: Only love for graphic designers, mad respect for what y’all do. My dad’s a graphic designer as well so I had it good. xD Screen Shot 2020-09-14 at 2.27.30 AM896×1106 159 KB
  9. I was on OOO mode for a solid year because I was working a full-time job in advertising. I tried to juggle both Fiverr and work for a month and gave up soon because I knew I’d lose my head trying to meet both sets of deadlines. Now I’m in-between jobs so I took off my OOO mode two months ago and sales have been pretty decent so far. Of course, I’ve had to rebuild my customer base, try my hand at Buyers Requests as well as connect with old contacts, so there’s been a fair bit of work involved. But in my experience, it definitely does affect the ranking. However, if you have to switch on OOO mode, I’d say do it - or else, the repercussions from not doing that could maybe be even worse (if you have a personal emergency, too many sales than you can handle, mental health setbacks, etc).
  10. Fair enough. Guess their automation system doesn’t have this provision in place. Have you written this in the platform’s Feedback section? They might look into the same. :thinking:
  11. I think you’re right and that it must be outnumbered by the messages you receive when you are able to quickly respond (so if you’re able to respond during your active hours within a few mins to new messages that arrive then, your average could should be able to show as 1 hour with enough of them). For people who only get their messages from people in another timezone at eg. 3 AM the response time can then get quite high. Also it’s quite unfair to sellers how it rounds response times when it gets to > a day (eg. what would be a 1.5 day response time would get shown as 2 days due to rounding - so Fiver would then have added 12 hours to the true average). Ah yes, this makes sense. 1.5 days is actually quite tricky - it’s neither one day nor two days. I think the platform just rounds it to the latter instead of the former, to give buyers the outer statistic and keep them informed that a reply can take up to 2 days. But yes, it does hurt the seller in a way (because some buyers might be deterred by the 2 day wait time if they are looking for some quick work).
  12. Yes absolutely, couldn’t agree with this more. True. I feel your frustration. The worst is when some posts package it under titles such as ‘sure-fire ways to get orders on Fiverr’ or ‘tips that guarantee success on Fiverr’ because that just isn’t true. I just wish people don’t follow herd mentality in these aspects and actually do their research before blindly following some pieces of advice, especially since the forum is also filled with posts by sellers who do not advocate staying online 24/7. Yes. Hundred per cent. Quality of sleep is so important and burning the midnight oil every day is just going to be very detrimental to overall levels of productivity. :woman_shrugging:t4:
  13. How we justify it.? @ashikcserng I work on Fiverr from 10 am to 7/8pm, Indian time. During my working hours, I respond quite promptly to any messages I receive from prospective buyers (within an hour of receiving the same). I’m assuming Fiverr has an algorithm to calculate this, and that the messages I receive during the night (which I reply to in the morning) don’t affect the average response time to that extent. Probably it’s outnumbered by the messages I receive (and reply to) during my working hours? Not sure, maybe someone can shed light on this calculation.
  14. There is a reason that sellers get 24 hours to reply to a new enquiry (without it affecting their statistics). It is physically impossible to be online all the time on the site, tbh. You’ll be wrecking your peace of mind, your sleep cycle and a lot of other things - please don’t subscribe to this notion that ‘staying online gets you more orders’. I live in India and most of my clients are from the US - I’ve been on this site for 4 years now and I have never stayed online during the night (even though it’s peak activity time for my buyers). In case they message me during the night, I answer their queries when I start work in the morning. I completely agree with @english_voice in the last part of his message. It is very physically draining and unhealthy.
