    Why was Fiverr better few years ago than now?

    in Lounge

    Posted

    I considered as a very long-time seller on the platform.
    Fiverr now more focus of their fee than everything else, if you have talent, you wouldn't want to sell on this platform.

    Now they are tons of way to promote your talent like TikTok, IG, YouTube, etc.

    You can see that they are trying to change into more Professional freelancing image, but I don't think it's working right.
    I'm a TRS and Pro seller, starting last year, you hard to get more than 5 orders a month.
    Seller Plus is a useless piece of crap, same to Promoted gig, just wasting money.

    Don't you guys notice all those big sellers on the platform seem keep quiet or leaving the platform these recent 2- 3 years?
    Freelancing is not good due to the raise of A.I. , so fiverr is struggling as well.

    How to handle slumps

    I think its worlds economy & the raise of AI. This is out of our control and frankly I start shifting to other industry because AI is killing freelancing in a high pace speed. I also see fiverr start losing it purpose, 3 years later 90% of fiverr gig can created by AI.

    fiverr's new AI category

    in Lounge

    Posted

    As a Pro seller artist on fiverr, I'm sad to see fiverr introduce AI category.
    Probably within few years of time, most services on the site can replaced by AI.

    Recently I just have a buyer asking: "Can you tweak this art a little bit which I use AI to generate?"

    Now we are competing with Technology and AI, instead of human.

    Seller Plus is getting an upgrade!

    in General News

    Posted

    Oh, I actually quit Seller Plus a month ago after meeting with my SM, now the Advanced Analytic got me interested and I joined back. This to me seem any serious Fiverr seller should join Seller Plus to get better sales and analytics.

    Fiverr earning more from Seller, hope Seller can earn more from Buyer too with the program.

    Unhelpful CS and a crazy buyer

    in My Fiverr Experience

    Yep! What surprised me most was that CS pretty much told me that it’s my fault:

    "As a freelancer, you are your entire business so you’re also responsible for engaging with your buyers and convincing them to accept your work. This is why cancellations of this nature are supposed to affect your completion rate. The rate is meant to measure your effectiveness at completing orders so it makes sense that orders canceled due to a lack of an agreement to complete it are taken into account."

    My order completion rate going down due to this is absurd. I spent 4 days working on that order, I over-delivered, then I revised the work for free. Then when he decided that he wants something entirely different than what he initially requested I told him that we’ll need to upgrade the order but I offered a big discount for the upgrade (as a gesture of good will), then the user not only declined that but he insulted me with his ridiculous accusation. I guess CS expects me to work for free until ultimate satisfaction and I guess me deciding to charge more for having to do additional work (and start from zero) qualifies as “Not completing an order”. I exchanged around 5 messages with CS without any luck, but the last appointed agent was pretty helpful and he said that he will forward this to the right department so I hope that they’ll make the right decision.

    Damn, I’m so pissed 😆

    Hey I see you’re a Pro seller, have you contact your so called Success Manager about this case and see if he can help?

    Sad.

    If I were you who already spent so much time and effort on the order, I wouldn’t cancel it. I just told the client this is not what we agree on at the beginning of the order and either he accepts it or small amendments will be provided. I don’t think it’s a good idea to give a bonus to a new client because we do not know how good working with them, it’s risky and wasted all our effort if later found out they are evil. This not only wastes time, effort, also losing money, sometimes rather they leave a bad review.

    We can see Fiverr system about rating and penalty to a seller are somewhat ridiculous. After I’ve been working for this platform for over a decade, I still don’t like how they treat sellers. They should take out the ridiculous cancellation rate and implement the accept/reject order button.

    Have You Used Fiverr Early Payout Option?

    in My Fiverr Experience

    Posted

    This is my dream come true! At least it is an option now if I need my funds urgently!
    Thanks fiverr listen to us.

    So I assume fiverr charge 3% of total of an order, let’s said $10 I get $7 but I will get the fund after the order completed. This is BIG game changer to those who work fiverr full-time.

    Someone said fiverr never listen, now this might not true, they did listen to a lot of my suggestion all these years though.

    Now I hope TRS will lower or waived the 1% fee for Fast Payout option in the future would be great and get motivated!
