The only strategy is to be great at what you do and perform well in the eyes of the algorithm. I suggest you read more about the new success score and levels, and how it affects your visibility on Fiverr here: Success score – Fiverr Help Center Fiverr's new level system – Fiverr Help Center

If you've received warnings etc. from Fiverr, that could be your explanation for not being visible in the marketplace. I did a quick search for one of your gigs and you did show up as online when filtering for that: However, that was a specific search for the gig title, and your gigs might be less visible on Fiverr depending on your success score and other metrics, including previous warnings you've recieved.

Strange, one would think Fiverr is all for a positive AI article? 🤣

It's not very confusing if you look at who says what. Name one seller with TRS status who have more than 1000 reviews saying you have to stay online all the time. 😛 You're not going to find them because it's a myth, created by those who are just sitting around waiting for something to happen instead of making it happen.

Deadwood is on my watchlist. Uncle never did anything. But he was there. The entire game was an assault on your emotions. But I found the prologue to be just as difficult, emotionally speaking, because I knew how it would end. When the Pinkertons stood at the hill watching Johns home at the end... Bwwoah. Then it was just sad.

Yup! I just make sure to always use "USD" when mentioning a price, to avoid confusion. But it still happens from time to time. Can't have that.

Negative feedback from buyers (both public and positive), cancellations, disputes, bad communications, revision requests due to low-quality delivered/empty deliveries and so on will affect your visibility on Fiverr. If you've yet to receive orders at all, know that new sellers tend to get a boost in the beginning, but this doesn't last for long. After that, you're on your own.

Think about it this way: Low competition keywords can help your gig appear in niche-specific searches. If a buyer is looking for something very specific and your service is highly specialized, those keywords will have fewer searches, but that also means less competition for views and clicks. Because it's so specific, it can also have higher conversion rates, as your gig would be one of the few available options. High competition keywords will see much higher demand, meaning more people will search for them. That also means a lot of sellers will compete against you for a spot in the search results, so it'll be harder to stand out. To be successful with high competition keywords, you’d need a strong profile, because you’re competing against established sellers with higher levels, more reviews, and so on. If you have a very specific set of skills and offer gigs targeting specific services, those low competition keywords can get you noticed when/if a buyer searches for them, but it will also mean less overall exposure. So, a good mix of low and high would be best, preferably by using multiple gigs: one general, and one more specific. This allows you to test different keywords and levels of service to see what works best for you and your buyer.

You get to have more gigs as you rise the ranks on Fiverr, but you start out with only four. As a new seller you get 4 gigs. As a level 1 and level 2 seller you get 10. If you're picked as a Top Rated Seller, you get to have 30 gigs.

Even if it costs less when you spend more, I think the custom offer should show the fees right in the chat. If I set a custom offer to $100 and send it to the buyer, it should display the rate + Fiverr fee and a total line. While it’s not a dealbreaker for most, I’m sure buyers would appreciate seeing the final total in their custom offer or on the gig page, not just on the order page. What bugs me is that Fiverr does this whole currency conversion thing. That means I'll tell a buyer the price is $100, but they’ll see a different price if they're in the EU because it’ll automatically convert to EUR. This also gives the buyer a bad exchange rate from Fiverr, and I’ve often told my buyers to set their currency to USD to get the card issuer exchange rate instead of Fiverr’s. I get why they're doing it, but seeing random prices like 46.54 instead of 45 doesn't look nice, it feels random, and it confuses buyers.

While human judgment should be involved, the fact is that you had multiple accounts. So Fiverr's decision was the right one in this case, based on their own rules. I get that it can be confusing, but if you knew you had another account, why not use that one?

A fellow RDR2 fan! I've got to say I disagree with you on the best track though. It's definitely Unshaken! When I returned from Guarma and that song kicked in during the ride back, I finally relaxed for the first time in hours. It was so melancholic and peaceful, yet I knew I was heading back into a storm of bullets, trouble, and ultimately, death. I've never experienced such a mix bag of emotions from a video game story – or any story, for that matter – in my life.

Yes. It will affect your stats, including your success score. All cancellations will, but from what I understand, cancellations that go through customer support (forced cancellations) will hurt you more than just accepting it via the resolution center. If you refuse to cancel and the buyer goes to support, and they side with the buyer, that's a forced cancellation. So if your buyer isn't happy with your work, the lesser of two evils will be to accept the request, if you're not 100% sure that the quality of your work is as described in your gig description. If you believe your work matches what you promise in your gig description and/or custom offer to the buyer, Fiverr's cancellation terms clearly state the following: "Orders are not eligible to be canceled based on the quality of service/materials delivered by the Seller if the service was rendered as described in the Gig Page. You may rate your experience with the Seller on the Order Page, including the overall level of service quality received." The following is from: Payment Terms (fiverr.com) Even so, support tends to favor buyers most of the time. If you truly believe that the quality of your work and your service "was delivered as described on the gig page," you could refuse to accept the cancellation and hope that support decides to back you. It's definitely a risk, but so is letting buyers push you around and make you work for free.

You can't change your username, but don't stress over it. My username, smashradio, came about when I was running a radio station and needed to pick up some cheap acapellas for my radio imaging a decade ago. Today I'm a Top Rated Seller, a Pro Verified Seller, and have racked up over 1000 reviews on gigs that span from voice-overs to SEO content, copywriting services, and translation. And I did it under the name of now defunct online radio station. 🤣

When you think about it, it really adds up. Fiverr isn't looking to draw in AI experts. They're trying to attract as many low-level, unskilled data analyst expart copypasters as possible. To pull that off, you need to keep things simple. So simple, in fact, that it's utterly useless for anyone with real skills, but just good enough that some guy with a moped mustache in his mom's kitchen will buy into it and set up their gig, then come to the forum and ask "how rank gig day by day". Even Google is starting to recognize what bad content looks like. Some SEO staffer probably saw this and said "nope".

Somehow I think that would be a dealbreaker for a company that prefers to crank out drivel generated in GPT by some budget content mill in certain countries. Nothing screams corporate responsibility and great ESG ratings like having a team of sweatshop writers to empower sellers like us. 🤩

I'm not surprised. I wouldn’t put my name on anything Fiverr has released recently. It’s subpar at best . The irony is that a writer with over 10 years of experience, who is the editor-in-chief of a newspaper with 2.4 million readers annually, and who has clients like the biggest telecom operator in Norway under his belt, isn’t considered pro enough to rewrite articles on Fiverr. Certainly not pro enough to write a press realease. Despite being vetted by Fiverr as a copywriter and considered a great addition to their pro catalog, they still don’t think I’m capable of rewriting an article or issuing a press release under the pro banner. But they can still release trash like this and get away with it.

I'm too lazy to read it, to be honest. I expect it's the same type of boilerplate content riddled with errors, only this time, it's about books.

The irony is almost too much. If this is the AI Fiverr is pushing, all the old school proofreaders can rest easy knowing their jobs aren’t going anywhere (except away from Fiverr, because no one will take the platform or its sellers seriously for much longer if this is their idea of quality).

First of all: I'm not saying any of this to be rude, but to help you improve. 🙂 To turn potential clients into paying buyers, you need to leave a lasting and professional impression. I'm not seeing that on your gig. Your gig description and package details have multiple typos and grammatical errors. Attention to detail and first impressions matter. If it seems like you don’t care about these details, a buyer might assume you’ll put the same lack of effort into their website as you did your gig. Your description focuses too much on the features and not enough on the benefits these features bring to a buyer. Remember, people buy outcomes, not the features. Your portfolio isn't very impressive at the moment. As a new seller, be sure to use all available tools, including your portfolio. Use it to showcase your best work. It helps build trust and shows the buyer what you have on offer. With no reviews yet, your work must speak for itself. Your gig thumbnail doesn't look very professional. It mixes styles, using outdated graphics and fonts more suitable for a toy store than a professional web design gig. My first assosciation when visiting your gig, was "Toys'R Us". You could also consider having a professional gig video made, as videos can boost engagement with your gig. I hope this helps!

Promoting a gig doesn't guarantee that you'll get views, clicks or orders. If few people are searching for what you have to offer, or if your seller performance is low, Fiverr will promote other sellers instead of you. Even though you're willing to pay for ads, it doesn't mean Fiverr is willing to promote you – the system still takes into account your performance when deciding which gigs to promote. So, the first place you should look is your success score and individual gig performance. You could also try changing the CPC cap from Auto to a high value, to figure out where the sweet spot in terms of bidding is.

For once, I'll be working this weekend. Got some projects that I have to pick up on tomorrow. I hope I'll have time for some R&R on Sunday.

There are already hundreds of guides on the forum, not to mention several articles in Fiverr's help center covering all of this.
