[What are we supposed to use for scheduling?]

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.

[14 days waiting clearance opinion]

Payment clearance should be in 7 days to clear rather than 14 days. what’s your opinion fiverr sellers?

When you’re making a wish then maximize it - ask for 0 day clearance 😉

[It's my first gig for Background Removal.]

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.

[DO This, Not That! (Part 3 of the Seller Tip Trilogy)]

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)

Thanks. So you are saying that Fiverr is calculating the order completion rate in a general way? Like if 100 orders were made and 10 of them are canceled over the last 60 days then the Order Completion Rate will be 90%?

Yes. Haven’t seen any issues with that so far

It’s exactly 33. I haven’t cancelled any orders yet so I don’t know the percentage according to Fiverr. But according to my previous experience it seems that Fiverr is not calculating in a general way. 5 months ago I cancelled 1 order & my Order Completion Rate came down to 85% directly from 100%.

So I am trying to know how Fiverr calculates the Order Completion Rate.

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

To be honest, I don’t know, primarily my rate came below 70%, few days later came below 50%. But no order taken within this time. After few more days, everything went green. Out of mind man :rofl:

It’s normal, it 60 days form today so it will change over time

Around 33 or exactly 33?
What’s the % according to Fiverr?

[Orders are Stop for unknown reason, I am Level 2 seller]

Then what should we do i am sharing my gig to social media every day and my gig impression is increasing but i am not getting order

my gig impression is increasing but i am not getting order

There are usually 2 reasons for that

1. you’re advertising your gig to the wrong audience
2. buyers who visit your gig don’t find your service appealing and they buy from someone else

In both cases YOU can improve the situation not Fiverr.

[Orders are Stop for unknown reason, I am Level 2 seller]

are you reading here many sellers are saying they are not getting orders i also so i think fiverr should take look that what is happening there

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.

[Orders are Stop for unknown reason, I am Level 2 seller]

IF i am saying wrong then please forgive me thanks

Every sellers are saying

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.

[The Art of Saying No Nicely]

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.

[If you want to know, how to calculate fiverr ratings , please read]

Very complex calculation .Last month only one order cancel 8 order complete .my level down and also 7 Gig pushed

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.

[Seller is falsely advertising and won't cancel order]

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 😃

I am at 6% only

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

Mine is 4% 🙂
My target audience is located in 3 countries so I’m focusing on those.

Tips for Sellers

[Dramatic Increase in Buyer Requests?]

I’m seeing requests now that are pretty broad. For example: app development, architectural contract drafting, choosing presents for a 10 year old girl, creating a “shopify aliexpress dropshipping store”, etc.

None of these are even remotely related to my gig wording or tags but among the stuff I don’t want to do, there is plenty of graphic design related stuff I’m interested in.

I’m inclined to think it’s a fortuitous bug, tbh!

It could be a bug. Maybe customer service can double check this for you.

It wouldn’t be the first time 🙂

[Dramatic Increase in Buyer Requests?]

I’m really confused by this!! Is Buyer Requests not an area that you search for Requests that you can fulfil? I don’t seem to have a personal list of them…

I don’t seem to have a personal list of them…

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.

[Dramatic Increase in Buyer Requests?]

Ahh, that’s a good point, ux.

I originally just had a ebook cover design gig, but I’ve added a Halloween poster gig and an album cover design gig.

That must be the reason why the request criteria have broadened out.

Having said that, I was getting requests for design jobs unrelated to ebooks, anyway, but only a few (maximum 6 a day)

I suppose the lesson to be learned for all new sellers is to increase the variety of related gig types you offer; not just for the gigs themselves to attract buyers, but for you to see many more buyer requests, too.

I was getting requests for design jobs unrelated to ebooks

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.

I suppose the lesson to be learned for all new sellers is to increase the variety of related gig types you offer

Yep. I have almost identical gigs for 2 categories because buyers don’t always choose the right category.

[Dramatic Increase in Buyer Requests?]

I’m a new seller and I’ve completed a few orders (with good reviews) purely from responding to buyer requests.

Suddenly, my list of buyer requests has grown from a handful a day to over 700! :crazy_face:

Admittedly, the requests aren’t all in my particular areas of expertise, but there’s still loads to respond to.

Is this a feature or a bug of the buyer request display algorithm?

(I’m NOT complaining, of course)

Is this a feature or a bug of the buyer request display algorithm?

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)

[Dramatic Increase in Buyer Requests?]

Wow!! Maybe you got featured somewhere on the site or in an email or something? Good luck!!

Maybe you got featured somewhere on the site

Buyer requests has nothing to do with your gig being featured or not.

[High demand, low competition gigs?]

On 4/25/2017 at 4:44 PM, saddu_writer said:

yeah but lately, most demand is for Drupal websites

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.

[High demand, low competition gigs?]

I have to say, I love these kind of questions, they make me laugh. Why don’t people asking this say what it is they really want?

“Has anyone got a lamp with a genie inside who can give me untold wealth for little to no work?”

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 🙂

[High demand, low competition gigs?]

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.
