If you already marked the order as delivered, even if you cancel, your buyer can leave a review. Yes, canceled orders can also be reviewed if the order was delivered. Regardless of the situation, a cancellation will affect your stats. I don't know if the cancellation will affect your promotion or not, because it depends on how many orders you had, what other stuff was canceled, etc. But it will definitely affect your stats, that's a certainty. The problem is that no matter if you refund or not, the buyer can still leave a review, since you already delivered the work. So you might be prone to receiving a bad private/public review. Private reviews are the worst because a bad private review can really push you back in search for many months.

I agree, I rarely start any topics, I mostly assist others, I think I might have under 10 topics in 10 years.

You don't want to attract buyers to the forum. You want to attract people to your gig. Depending on your niche, there are different places where you can share. On the Fiverr forum you mostly find sellers and not buyers. So if you want to grab the attention of buyers here, you are in the wrong place. Find industry-related sites that allow you to promote yourself (most of them won't).

Damn I thought you were joking and then I entered his gig.. MY EYES!!! Plus, that pink and blue combination doesn't really look appealing, nor professional (speaking about gig images)

Thanks for the great topic idea Kesha. In my case, I started freelancing on Fiverr 10 years ago. The company I was working at that time was preparing to shut down, and I didn't want to go for another corporate job. Instead, I wanted to use my creativity and also be my own boss. Which I will say, Fiverr helped with quite a bit. And since then, I never stopped. It did get a bit harder due to AI damaging the freelancing market quite a bit, but as always, we need to adapt. I am sure there will be crazier stories than mine.. but for me.. I found Fiverr at the perfect time and I already decided at that point to give freelancing a shot, instead of just hunting for yet another job.

Why don't you read the terms of service and see that you are only allowed to have one account. And you're wondering why they don't allow you to withdraw stuff. It's like stealing an item from a shop, throwing it and then saying you didn't do it. Meanwhile there's camera footage of you stealing. :))

@Kesha I do want to ask something, why is there no vertical for Writing? There are separate verticals for designers and logo makers, however none for writers. It would be great if we can also have a vertical for writers in that Verticals section.

Nah, not true.

Did the customers contact you? Or you want to breach the rules and randomly contact people without them contacting you first?

This is not customer support. And CS can't help you.

Contacting support is a good idea, but as I said, it can also be due to still having funds in their account or stuff like that. Regardless, going to customer support should help.

I edit my gigs quite often, depending on what price changes, images or stuff I want to modify. Don't edit your gig daily or hourly.. but once in a while is fine. I never had issues with that.

I agree Filip, I never promoted any of my gigs on socials, and that's not an issue. The problem is most of these sellers offer copy/paste services and expect orders. Some of them are also very overpriced for what they are offering, they charge the same as people with dozens or hundreds/thousands of orders.

Why do you want to deactivate your account? I see you already have some reviews, if you want to disable this and create a new account, you will start from scratch and reviews might be way worse. You should always continue with the current account. As for why you can't.. maybe you have an order in queue, maybe you have funds remaining in your account, or Fiverr gave a warning. It can be a lot of things, go to customer support, they have access to your account's info and should be able to help you more than us. We are just sellers so.. we can only do so much here.

You only had a single review, so most likely others within your niche had more orders and reviews than you. Also, who knows what private review that person left for you, even if the public review was positive. Continue delivering great work and offering exceptional customer service, then eventually things should get better. But in general, getting more work helps.

Fiverr will automatically update your country based on your IP. It might take a little while, but if you login a few times from the same IP, it should do that automatically. If they don't update it automatically in a week or two, go to Customer Support and let them know. Regarding the currency change, scroll at the bottom of the screen on the Fiverr main site (not the forum). You will see a currency sign, like in this screenshot. Press on USD or whatever it says right now for you, and then you can change to EUR. It's simple.

You can't contact people unless you do that on the platform. Those are scammers, just say Hi and mark them as Spam or report them. That way your response time is not affected, and you are not dealing with them either.

A great sign that something is wrong with our society. Topics that really want to help people get 10-15 replies at most, yet this unnecessary topic gets so many replies. All of which are "congrats". No value to the forum, nothing needed or helpful in any way. I get it man, we all need an ego boost, but do we really have to gloat when we receive a new review? The forum would be flooded. Maybe we leave this as a positive review gloating topic, so we don't have dozens of these every month.

When it comes to writing, AI has eaten up a lot of the market. And there are also way more sellers than usual so.. it's easy to see why there are less orders. Same with graphic design I think.

Hey Sifat. I will say this before others do it... You are a lead generation expert. How do you expect people to trust and hire you when you should be able to generate leads without a problem? If you're a lead generation expert, generate leads for yourself 🙂 Also, there are maybe tens of thousands of topics like yours on the forum, just search. In general, people will create gigs that are unique and not identical to all the others, promote via social media and any other personal sources, provide a good starting price or deals for a first time buyer, etc. You should come up with ideas yourself, no one is here to tell you how to make money 🙂

Most people that ask this tend to have the same gigs like everyone else on the platform. My suggestion is to try and be unique, create amazing and unique gigs that stand out. If you deliver the same old thing other people do, it's hard to stand out at all. Buyers will just gravitate towards people with great reviews.

That means you're not spending money on your Fiverr gig, lol. You said You are not spending anything on your Fiverr journey. Courses related to skills you want to sell on Fiverr, that I might see as a loosely related Fiverr expense. But even then..

Fiverr gave you a push as a newer seller, but now they promote other new sellers. That's why you have less impressions.

Not necessary, people can find your gig the same way, no matter if you are online or offline. Just enable notifications and you receive a notification every time there's a new message. No need for manual check.

How are you spending the money though?
