  1. Behance is not a part of the approved URLs list, so the answer is most likely no. Here's the list, and you can learn more on this page: https://www.fiverr.com/support/articles/360011421218-Gig-policies ammyy.com blogspot.com flickr.com mixcloud.com reverbnation.com soundcloud.com spotify.com teamviewer.com tumblr.com vimeo.com wetransfer.com wikipedia.org youtube.com
  2. Your conversion rate will, like any other metric, have an effect on your gig position and performance. Also, I don't want buyers to "knock" me. It hurts when someone knocks you. 🙂
  3. If you're asked to wait 90 days, that's most likely because you have already tried and failed at a skill test, or because you've been caught cheating by minimizing or going outside the test window during the test. If you think this is an error, you can reach out to Fiverr support for more help. You can create a ticket here: https://www.fiverr.com/support_tickets/
  4. You claim to be a "Expert Google ads Conversion Tracking" and "professional digital marketer". One of the services you're trying to sell involves marketing and ad campaigns. You should already know how to persuade clients to get work. I suggest you put your expert abilities to good use. 🙂
  5. That's because you loose access to promoted gigs if your performance drops (i.e. stats dropping or negative private feedback). If your buyer satisfaction rate or stats go down, it doesn't just affect your eligibility for Promoted Gigs, but also your organic visibility on Fiverr.
  6. That would work, if people kept these posts to the right category. They don't. I didn't know that. Useful. Thanks! I appreciate you guys moving the posts, but by the time you have moved them, new ones will have arrived. I'm not questioning the purpose of the "My Fiverr Gigs". I'm questioning the need for such a category in the first place.
  7. It's in Fiverr's best interest to keep the good sellers and get rid of the bad ones. If a single great seller disappears because of this, that seller is most likely gone forever. Repeat that too many times, and the entire process will be counter productive. The confirmation from @frank_d about the flagging being a manual process (investigation) gives me (nearly) complete confidence in what Fiverr is doing. This is what we've been asking for, for a long time.
  8. Manual = good in my book. Indeed. I've been saying the same. I don't drink, but if I did, you'd know that champagne cork pop is coming! Judgement day is here. And I'm lovin' it.
  9. Ah yes, the goat. There's also a guy with the gig "I will call you and tell you I love you" (but only for girls). Oh well. Take it as a compliment. We're only as old as we feel, right? I turned 33 the other day. I'm starting to make "dad-sounds" when I get up from the couch.
  10. I would assume this depends on the individual projects. Most rights holder allow fan fic but does not like people commercializing their intellectual property.
  11. Yeah, they don't appear to be exclusively new, low-level sellers. If this system takes you down after a single or a few disgruntled clients, buyers now how an entirely new weapon at their disposal. It seems to be an automatic procedure as well. It would be strange if Fiverr kicks some of their best-selling sellers to the curb because of a single or a few flags, so i'm curious about the metrics used. But I guess we'll find out. I'm very positive to this, so don't get me wrong, but if they are kicking level two sellers with hundreds of five-star reviews off the platform for this, perhaps it doesn't take much. I'll call you bro!
  12. A tie might be a bit much. Shirt and blazer or just a plain white shirt works fine. The idea is that you want to look the way you would if you're at a job interview or an important meeting. It doesn't have to a be a suit or anything too stiff or formal. Simple but neat 😄 Oh and get a photographer you're comfortable with. Someone who will make you feel relaxed. Mine always just holds a normal conversation with me and all of a sudden, he has 10 pictures haha.
  13. I see! Yes, I noticed - haha. Not exactly exuding that writer vibe, are we? 😂 First, you'll need someone who actually know how to take great photos. Preferably someone who works as a professional photographer, but if you can't afford that, a friend with a good camera who has photography as a hobby could work. Dress nicely, but not like you're going to the queens yule ball. Visit a tailor if you can afford it to get a shirt that fits you perfectly. The number one reason why you'd look like a poor guy with no taste, is if your clothes doesn't fit. If you can't afford it, at least spend some time at an upscale store to find a shirt that fits. Go someplace nice to get the photos taken. Any half neutral background with some greenery will do, but preferably in a nice location – like a five-star hotel or something. The background will be out of focus anyway, but having a nice place to shoot will make a difference. Your photographer will know at what time the light is best. Mine always insists on late afternoon. I have a face for radio, but I think he does a good job of making me look like a human being.
  14. Here's some good guidance on Gig Images, straight from Fiverr: https://www.fiverr.com/support/articles/4410883326481 (with examples) You can also search for other ghostwriters on Fiverr, and see what the top rated/pro sellers are doing. That's a great source for inspiration. Your goal should be to have as little text as possible, use big fonts, have colors that match and make you stand out, and if possible, include that professional business portrait I talked about in your thumbnail. Showing your face is a major trust signal and helps buyers connect and feel safe buying from you. If you're not confident in your own design skills (and I'm guessing you're not) I highly recommend hiring an actual professional to do your thumbnail. There are several sellers on Fiverr offering gig thumbnails. Pick one of the Top Rated sellers you find when searching for "gig thumbnail" and you should be off to a good start. 🙂
  15. By the way, @truephoenixking: have you done any market research into your niche? Do people pay for ghostwriters to write fan fiction? I mean... You can't really sell most fan fic, so even if I hire you as a ghostwriter, there's no way I can make money on the end product I receive. So I'm just wondering if you have researched the market. For all I know, it's huge, and fans will pay writers just to get creds among other fans with their fan fiction. But I'm not sure if that gig is viable to earn money in the long run. I might be wrong. But there might be other niches that can be better earners for you down the road, so market research is key. 🙂
  16. I second what @finndev478 has to say about your gig image. Needs a complete re-design and way less text. Try visiting Fiverr on mobile to see how difficult it becomes to read a thumbnail with lots of text in search. You're trying to sell writing, yet you have a glaring typo in your gig thumbnail. It's ghostwrite. Not ghostwright. If you hope to become a professional and make a living as a writer, you need to have excellent grammar skills. Being fluent in a language and being a good writer are two different things. On that note: calling yourself an amateur in your gig description is a sure-fire way of not getting work. I highly recommend that you invest in your writing skills by taking creative writing and storytelling courses. Your goal should always be to hone your skills and improve over time. You might be an amateur today, but with willpower, time and effort, you can become a professional. While you're at it, get some professional business portraits of yourself. Dress nicely. First impressions matter, as I mentioned in my response to the OP. 🙂 I hope this helps! Best of luck!
  17. Dearest of dear sir, mam and brother in law. I'm getting brain-spasms from all the useless gig sharing going on. I mean.. No one on the forum is interested in reading this spam. It will have absolutely no benefit to the people posting it and it's making browsing through the forum a nightmare. Can't the "My Fiverr Gigs" be hidden from the front page of the forum?
  18. Because it's a weekend the following day. People are trying to wrap up projects, instead of starting new ones. The only orders I get on the weekend are from young "entrepreneurs" who are inexperienced and full of energy. Give it a few years. They will start to appreciate free time.
  19. I took a look at your profile. Here's some things I would fix: Hiding behind a facemask does not make you look very professional. Your profile picture also seems to be of very low quality. First impressions matter. Your profile description has typos and grammar issues. Also, brand names should have their first letter capitalized (in most cases). Your gig thumbnails are not good. You call yourself a professional designer. You should put those skills to use, creating eyecatching, clean and modern thumbnails. Your gig descriptions have the same issues as your profile description. You claim to be available 24 / 7. Do you not sleep? Offering unlimited revisions is a bad idea.
  20. I'm sorry you had to experience this. Fiverr might very well take his side. It depends on how much time they put into an investigation of what happened. So we can't say for sure what will happen. What should happen, based on what you've shared here on the forum, is a resounding "no" to the buyer. If you delivered what was agreed upon, the buyer should have no right to cancel the order. He will need to have some sort of evidence to show Trust & Safety that you didn't deliver what was specified. If he can't do that, the order should not be canceled. But mistakes do happen. Cancelations can hurt your gig ranking. If it will "destroy" it or not, depends on how many orders you normally get in a month. Your order completion rate is measured as a percentage of completed gigs in a 60-day period. In other words, if you get lots of orders every month, a single cancelation will only make a small dent in your order completion rate. But if you only get a few orders each month, then yes, it can have a great impact on your ranking. That is why it's so important to have regular clients who will keep ordering from you, even if your gig doesn't show up in search as much. That can really help you get out of this debacle. You can't know for sure what will happen. Don't be scared and stand your ground. If the seller ends up winning with Trust & Safety, you've learned a valuable lesson: always make sure you know as much as possible about a project, before you get started. It can help you avoid this in the future. You might get a dent in your completion rate and get scammed of 30 bucks, but that shouldn't hold you back from doing business. It is not how we deal with success that determine who we are, but how we deal with failures. Best of luck, and let's hope the buyer ends up with a resounding "no" from Fiverr.
  21. Same here. It's an ongoing issue. Far too many scammers, uneducated people and sellers with no real skills have been allowed valuable space on Fiverr until now. A cleanup is sorely needed.
  22. If you cancel an active order, you will not receive the payment for that order. Fiverr will not charge you anything for canceling an order, unless the order has already been completed. In those cases, the buyer could request a cancelation via support, and Fiverr would then deduct that from your balance.
  23. You achieve this by doing good work and being honest about your skills.
