Yep, just got mine. But it fails to address why we are all in the penalty box. Does anyone have access to Alexa data to see Fiverr's site traffic over last 6 months?

Same here, just got the all clear. I find it odd that they are not talking to us to inform us about what's happening, @frank_d has been so much more informative.

Why not make gigs for something that you can honestly do?

Vegas is exactly what you would expect to rise 75 years after nuke tests. Precisely the mutations one would expect. Now if I could only explain Nashville and Austin.

It was buried under a bunch of "Dear, how i mek sells" messages. BTW, Dennis Miller and I are going bowling after we convince Elon Musk to buy Fiverr, you in?

Your profile states that you can " promote any product, business, or service to millions worldwide." Why don't you do that?

I believe having a delusion of being God and threatening not to spare people constitutes a threat too far? M-ods?

In other news, AI has killed its first human:

Just like Coke and Pepsi: https://www.smartearningmethods.com/how-pepsi-and-coca-cola-are-stealing-each-others-ideas-and-still-winning/

I am about to kill promoted gigs. I cannot justify spending on premium upsells from Fiverr while they destroy my business and show no interest in fixing it. I am rapidly looking for alternative platforms, assuming that this will tank.

Maybe if ChatGPT tells them the way forward?

That recent webinar where they were so giddy over AI makes me think they are screwing with automating a bunch of things via AI right now cause its fun to play with AI. The fact that they are killing successful sellers does not affect those on salary playing with the toys. I'm sure that "accidental" email was just one of many unintended consequences that diddling caused. I want them to explain why we should pay for premium guidance while they fiddle to the point of killing our sales, then offer nothing as a plan to respond, or even explain. I'm only remaining on SP right now to see how this plays out because I'm suffering and all I get is, "take a look at your keywords."

An "expart" in a certain location for $5.

Yep. You would think that a group that has literally sold millions of dollars of services for Fiverr, who are also paying for premium advice and guidance to manage their success, have been smacked into a sales nose dive and now sent an email confirming that, because some automated process flagged us, would deserve some quick action.

Waiting to hear from mine. I'm amazed that some SM's have not dropped into this thread of dissatisfied successful sellers to provide guidance or even reassurance that they are aware of what is happening.

If the email went out in error, we need to ask if we are all being erased from impressions by error as well. Obviously the system flagged all of us, and we are all feeling the same drop in sales. Wanna bet we're all getting punished for an "error"?

Your profile claims that you are fluent in English. Why would you want automated dreck instead of writing about your services yourself?

@theratypist Please add Congra-culations to the Congo's master list. Thanks. Congress

To be clear, was that your voice that you uploaded and then synthesized? I'd check EULA for elevenlabs if that is the case because you most likely granted them the rights to recreate and resell your voice forever. Have you seen the gigs on Fiverr where you can sample the seller with AI? I was in the original meetings they had along with about a dozen other sellers when they wanted to test this prior to launch, and that was the reason none of us decided to go forward. Buried in the fine print was the fact that they own anything you upload and can sell it in perpetuity.

So at the same that the algorithm is punishing a bunch of experienced sellers they expect us to trust the same algo to efficiently spend our promoted gigs money.

Yes, it is entirely inconsistent. Promoted gigs should be like purchasing any other advertising in the world. For example, I should be able to have my ads only appear to sellers in US/EU/AUS/CAN to only buyers who spend $100 or more per order, have a positive rating as a seller. You can buy any demographic and geography you want IRL. I don't want to pay $1 per click for people from a certain country who say "Give me job."

While any business needs new customers, most are smart enough to provide all sorts of "loyalty, rewards, retention" incentives for the top producers and buyers. You know the folks making the register ring on a regular basis. Almost all businesses know this, almost all.

Hi, Here's a friendly email to let you know that 1 person had something negative to say about you. It is however a secret and we won't share it with you so that you can learn from it or make adjustments. Nor will we look into it to see if maybe someone was extorting you for free work, then when you refused, they killed you in the private review. Because of this 1 person's review we will be starving you to death for a few months. Thanks for being a member of Seller Plus, that will be $29 please.
