First of all, I'd look at your thumbnails. Not spelling the name of substantial social networks correctly when you're selling services directed at social media clients isn't very impressive. Check for grammatical errors in your gig descriptions, and work to improve your English further. Beyond that, the advice given by @iamattique above is sound. Follow those steps and make sure to avoid typos. If I see typos/language issues in the thumbnail or gig description, I'll immediately find another buyer simply because I don't want to risk communication issues. Also, if a seller doesn't care enough about their own business to correct spelling errors in their own marketing, how can I trust them to care about my business? No trust – no orders. Best of luck! 🙂

I'm looking at probably around 1000 USD for my gig video at this point. I think outsourcing is a great idea when it comes to the stuff you can't do yourself. I could learn video editing and get real good at it, but the time I would have spent doing it would be worth more than it costs to outsource. The cat is awesome!

It's just part of the Fiverr marketing jargon. We're all "Doers". We "Do" stuff, you see. I always found the wording a bit weird, but frankly, I'm "doing" too much to care about the wording in Fiverr's receipts. They did send you a receipt so you can file taxes. I see no reason to get so easily offended by an e-mail receipt. Thanks for the cookie! (P.S. If you want to bring your personal feeling of being offended by an e-mail receipt to Fiverr's attention, you need to contact support. We're just sellers and buyers here on the forum.)

Here's a good place to start learning more about Fiverr and how to succeed: I recommend reading all of it, including all the linked posts.

Oh yes. This especially happens when Gen Z or Millenial "buyers" with big plans and "visions to enable *insert random buzzword here*" comes along. They will often offer a piece of the cake, promising bonuses and even shares, and of course, loads of work in the future. Usually, they end up working at McDonalds or spending their dads money with someone who will let then waste their time.

It's normal for this to happen. I recommend working on improving your gigs. Have a look at your gig description, gig thumbnails videos and profile picture to see if there's anything about your profile that you can improve. When levelling up, that's also a great time to increase your prices a bit if you haven't already done so. Freshening up the gigs have been said to help, but keep in mind that Fiverr will only promote the best sellers in each case. If you receive negative reviews or negative, private feedback, your buyer satisfaction will drop. If that happens, you're going to see fewer sales, impressions and clicks because of it.

Haven't planned much for june. Perhaps I'll get cracking on my new home theater space. The room is just sitting there, so I'm eager to get going. Hopefully it will be something similar to this, when it's done. At least, that's the inspiration. I'm renting, so I'm a bit limited on what I can do with the space. But a man with a plan is a man that can, so I just have to get creative! Sometime this summer, we'll go to Madrid to get a passport for our 8 month old son. Have to do that at the embassy. It's gonna feel great to get that out of the way, considering it took 7 months (!) just to get his social security number from Norway due to him being born in Spain. During that time, the boy was officially "stateless". Get a kid, they said. It'll be fun, they said.

Haha! I remember back in the day when Fiverr used to be more for fun. The first gig I ordered was "I will take a picture of my dog for five dollars". I also remember a gig that involved the guy going out in his garden to get hosed down by his wife. Good times.

Only Fiverr knows for sure, but we can make an educated guess, based on what metrics are used to determine how successful you become as a seller overall. Those are: Your buyer satisfaction rate (based on private feedback given to Fiverr after an order has been completed) Your response time and rate Number of sales and earnings On-time deliveries Your order completion rate In short: Be professional, deliver high-quality services, communicate effectively and deliver on time. This won't guarantee you anything, and I wouldn't be surprised if there are other metrics at work here.

Opening a business takes time and investment. You need a business plan! There are tons of sellers doing web development on Fiverr. That means you've got a lot of competition. So what are you doing differently than them? Why should buyers come to you, instead of someone else? Think about these things, try to come up with a proper business plan on how you want to succeed. Doing that involves a lot of research. You need to know where your buyers are, what pain points they have and how you're gonna solve them. It also takes a lot of research into how Fiverr actually works. There are tons of guides right here on the forum. Just be careful so you don't end up following bad advice. Plenty of that, too! Here's a good place to start: Finally, I'd like to say that if you just "want orders fast", you're in the wrong place. Starting a business doesn't happen overnight. It takes months and years of hard work and determination. If you've heard that you can come on Fiverr to make easy money TODAY, you've been lied to.

If your gigs have been paused, that means you haven't been working actively on Fiverr, delivering orders. If your account/gigs are inactive for a while, it will take some time to get back into the search results. While you wait, I recommend doing some well thought-out edits to your gig. Take a closer look at what you might improve upon, and put some new ideas in motion. I always try to spend my slow periods productively, by analyzing my business, looking at ways to improve.

The Rock is awesome! Now I wanna watch The Rundown.

We can't be the best at everything. Some of us are designers. Some are video animators. Others do voice over. I'm a voice over actor, content writer and translator. But I'm clueless about graphic design. Put me infront of a computer with Photoshop, and you'll get something like this: (Yes, that's from a real gig here on Fiverr). So with that in mind, I've hired designers for my gig thumbnails. I'm currently working on a video demo for my voice over gig, with several sellers here on Fiverr. I'm doing what I do best: voice overs. I leave the video editing to someone else. Obviously, you should never use another sellers work to pass it off as your own. If you're selling content writing, you can't hire another content writer to create your gig description. That's dishonest. But if you don't know how to design a nice gig thumbnail, there's a huge, untapped resource of designers right here on Fiverr. Or maybe you don't know how to make a gig video. Unless you're in the video category, you can hire someone to help you. It's all right in front of your eyes. All you need to do is invest in your business. Have you used Fiverr sellers to improve your gig?

There could be many reasons, like having received negative feedback, having a new seller profile, no gigs in categories that have requests for the moment and so on. In addition, Fiverr pushes requests a few times a day. Sellers with Seller Plus gets access to these requests first. There's also the time zone difference to consider. It might be evening/night where most of your buyers are. It's also a friday night, meaning most buyers will be far away from their computer. Businesses will be closed. In addition to keeping your existing buyers happy, you should also make sure your gig is optimized for search and in the right categories. You won't receive requests that are outside of your category. You have the option to create multiple gigs. Naturally, you should only make gigs selling a service you're good at. But setting up more than one gig in different categories can help. Again: only sell what you're good at, and don't be a pretender. 🙂

Indeed! I'd love to have that. I hate scrolling chats looking for files. This, with drag & drop from the list to the chat to attach a shortcut to that file.

What's the point of copy/pasting part of my response in the same topic?

But @vickieito - my impression going down day by day congratulate me and give me workz! Jokes aside. Awesome post. I wholeheartedly agree.

Just goes to show how important it is to always check your earnings to make sure the amounts are correct. Glad it got solved for you! 🙂

I speak Norwegian (native), English (fluent), Spanish (conversational) and I can fully understand Swedish and Danish.

You search for it. Then you check out how many gigs are showing up when you search for it. Compare the results, and you'll see which keywords have the least competition. Just a piece of advice: you shouldn't set up your profile based on this, but instead, about something you're good at. I see way too many sellers who base their gigs on low competition keywords, instead of on what they are good at. The end result is unhappy buyers, because you need to be great at what you do to have any sort of success on Fiverr.

Why lie on the forum? We can't help you when you're not speeking the truth about your situation.

When you end up becoming uneligible for gig promotion, it's not without any cause. Access to gig promotion is based on your performance. This could be negative, private feedback given to Fiverr after an order, a drop in response time or rate, on-time delivery and so on. Any one of these could have affected your eligibility to promote your gigs. Keep delivering great quality and service to your buyers, and make sure you improve where possible to ensure your buyer satisfaction rate isn't dropping. Beyond that, it might be that your gig category or type of gig no longer has access to gig promotion. You could always reach out to support and see if they have any additional information on this. You can do so here: https://www.fiverr.com/support_tickets/

I agree, to a certain extent. As a voice actor, I'll often adapt recording times to when I feel like it and my voice is at its best. It's not that I never work "after hours". But I try to set hours for myself to maintain some resemblance of a family life. Without a schedule, it's difficult to plan, and I think having a set time where I'm "done" for the day can be benefitial. But obviously, it doesn't work for everyone. I, too, work in creative fields like writing and voice acting, so I know all about not being "in the zone". I actually prefer to work evenings and relax doing other things at night, going to bed at 4 am. But that's impossible with a family. But hey - if you're enjoying it and you still get your free time when you want it, that's all that matters. I guess a better way to phrase the question, would be "What is the first thing you do when you're not working?".

So you're constantly "at work"? I would think that is rather unhealthy in the long run, at least it would be for me. It's not about technically "signing off". It's about mentally "signing off". I'm also on the app and I'll respond to messages even outside of working hours, but after 15:00 I will not work beyond simple answers to messages. The exeption is voice over record rush orders. Those will get taken care of even if it's late.

Not a bad idea at all. I'm all for it. It might complicate the inbox a bit, though. Another little inbox feature I would like to see is the ability to see and download file attachments from conversations inside an order. Presently, you can only view the messages and have to go to the inbox if you want to download attachments. I'm curious: which use cases do you think folders would have in your inbox? Sorting clients by category? One folder for Web clients, one for Design clients, for instance?
