  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
  14. Mine is 4% 🙂 My target audience is located in 3 countries so I’m focusing on those.
  15. You have a long way to go. Keep reading this forum. There are plenty of posts on promoting gigs. Fiverr Forum Tips for SellersThis category is for posts with original tips for sellers to utilize. If you want to ask for tips, please use Improve my Gig.
  16. It could be a bug. Maybe customer service can double check this for you. It wouldn’t be the first time 🙂
  17. Buyer requests are personalized based on your gigs. If you check your buyer requests I assume you don’t see requests for website development or voice over services, right? I’m guessing most of the requests you see are about social media & proofreading. My requests are probably completely different from yours because almost 80% of requests I see are related to Wordpress. When you bid on the requests you have to pick one of your gigs. There’s no point showing you the requests that you can’t fill. That’s why some users see hundreds of requests and some see only few.
  18. It depends on which category buyers select. For example, I see design requests because some buyers think that if they need a new banner for their Wordpress website they should choose Wordpress customization. Yep. I have almost identical gigs for 2 categories because buyers don’t always choose the right category.
  19. Requests are shown based on which gigs you offer. If you create a new gig in a different category or subcategory then you will see requests related to your new gig. If you didn’t create any new gigs recently then it could be a bug. I’ve seen old requests surfacing during the past few days. (More than usually)
  20. Buyer requests has nothing to do with your gig being featured or not.
  21. Buyer requests are customized to each seller. I haven’t seen a single Drupal request because I don’t offer this service myself. There are more Wordpress related requests because its market share is much bigger, but you might be right because Drupal probably has a lower competition on Fiverr.
  22. People are asking what’s the easiest gig that pays well, but they are not even concerned if they can do the job or not 🙂
  23. I can only see buyer requests related to my gigs, but I’d say that there’s plenty of work for Wordpress developers. I’m talking about actual developers not $5 gigs that offer demo installation 🙂 Wordpress is the most popular platform amongst small business owners & bloggers and that’s the kind of audience Fiverr attracts. While it’s easy to set up Wordpress, it requires knowledge and experience to customize it to match your brand and create custom functionality.
