  1. Essentially you can use whatever you want as long as it’s required to provide your service. For example, you can use Calendly and give the link to the user. Then the buyer picks the time from Calendly, fills out whatever you need and that’s it. It doesn’t have to be Calendly. There are plenty of other online scheduling apps where the buyer can pick their own time, fill out contact details and that’s it. If you’re concerned that you might get into trouble then ask customer service.
  2. When you’re making a wish then maximize it - ask for 0 day clearance 😉
  3. I agree with Frank, if you’re doing the basic background removal with a selection tool and eraser then don’t waste your time. There are plenty of sellers offering it for next to nothing. However, if you can do it like professionals (hair and everything) then you might have a shot for some business. Right now if I look at your portfolio then I can see you’ve picked super simple photos and to be honest I don’t even believe that you did those because I can find the same cutouts from other sites.
  4. Hi George, This has been discussed quite a few times, but a lot of those threads got sidetracked so let’s give it one more try 🙂 Pros You’re the decision maker. You decide when, how and with whom you work with.In most cases you can work from home. (Although this can be a con for some)If you know how to balance your work/personal life then you should have more time for your family & friends. I work about 4-5 hours a day.You decide your income. There’s this feast & famine myth, but if you’re smart about your business then you can build bridges over low points.Cons You have to push yourself. (You might wish to find a mentor or join some kind of group)You have to know how to sell your service. It can be difficult for introverts. (There are some great free and paid courses out there)You can’t really afford sick & vacation days which might cause you to burn out. (Find a backup)You have to wear 7 hats. I love my work, but I don’t like accounting, legal stuff etc. (Invest in assistants)
  5. Go to your analytics page, % will be shown there. It can easily be 85% with just 1 cancellation. It depends on how many were delivered It’s normal, it 60 days form today so it will change over time
  6. There are usually 2 reasons for that you’re advertising your gig to the wrong audiencebuyers who visit your gig don’t find your service appealing and they buy from someone elseIn both cases YOU can improve the situation not Fiverr.
  7. If you take a closer look you’ll see that some of these sellers haven’t done anything to get orders. They are just sitting around and waiting for Fiverr to give them orders. I’m sure there are sellers who are working really hard and they are going through a sales slump, but they are minority.
  8. Really? Every seller? C’mon, only a fracture of the sellers come to the forum and by the looks of it, the main complainers are the ones who do it constantly.
  9. I often have trouble saying no to charity work or projects that might have a really positive impact on less fortunate ones. We all want to do some good (at least every once in a while), but sometimes it’s important to say no even to those projects. How do you say no to a children’s hospital or an animal shelter? If there’s any way you can help, go for it, but you have to put your family and your own health first. Sounds selfish, but at the end of the day you still need to pay the bills and if you don’t value your time you will either burn out or get into financial problems.
  10. I don’t have any personal photos handy, but I’ll add one vote for the Forester 😉
  11. Why do you need to calculate it yourself? Fiverr tells you what your % is 🙂 If you don’t trust Fiverr then by all means, calculate it every morning, but most users don’t go through it at all.
  12. Wait, the seller managed to sell you information that took 2 minutes to gather for $15. No that’s a business man. I bet he’s putting together new material for his next show 😃
  13. I’m at 4% 😛 Most of my clients are from 3 countries. I didn’t pick them, they picked me. I don’t mind it because my gigs are optimized for a specific target audience and I’m not looking to expand it 🙂 PS. With this one you’re pretty much asking for a 1-star review
