  2. 📣 Hey Fiverr Community 📣 On March 8th we commemorate International Women’s Day by celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women everywhere.

The Fiverr Community is enriched with incredibly talented and willful women from all over the world. While our commitment to women’s equality is year-round, we’re honoring International Women’s Day by raising awareness and celebrating your achievements across the entirety of March, and we need your help!

  3. @drasnia Showing off warnings for your violations of the rules, then posting those sentiments again publicly seems like an odd way to go about it. I have NOW hidden your reply. If you would like to discuss this offline, I'm happy to. As mentioned in both your warnings, if this behavior continues, you will be removed from the forum. Please be inclusive, positive and encouraging. I've seen some of your past posts and I know you have the ability to be so.
  4. Sorry to take the crown from your head, but it was not. Speaking of honesty, I also have not deleted any of your posts. Would you like to edit your post to be more accurate ? If you feel like the forum is a "joke," I'd love to hear some honest, productive feedback about how you use the forum and what you think would be the most beneficial to ALL members of the community as a whole.
  5. This is a reminder that any targeted hate speech against a person, or group of people, defined on the basis of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, marital status, religion, age, disability, or other similar ground is not allowed on the Fiverr platform, which includes the forum. If you violate these rules, you will be suspended for 1 week, and a second violation will result in your removal from the forum permanently. Please review the Forum Rules and the Fiverr Community Standards if you have any questions about what type of content is acceptable on the forum.
  6. Thanks for reporting this. Some old buyer requests were showing up. This issue has been resolved.
  7. @smashradio -> That's right @uk1000
  8. As a seller on Fiverr, you know the importance of receiving repeat orders from your buyers. Not only does repeat business confirm the high quality of your service (go you!) but also gives you peace of mind by helping you to create a stable income. Fiverr has always encouraged long term relationships between buyers and sellers, and now, with the repeat business score and badge on seller profiles, this is recognized even further! How it works: Log in > Analytics tab To the right of the “Overview tab” (which you already know), see the “Repeat business tab” Once complete > Choose your subcategory from the dropdown menu See your repeat business score, and how you perform in each of the factors that it is comprised of: Repeat buyers The number of buyers who ordered from you again within the last 90 days. Repeat buyers (%) The percentage of buyers who ordered from you again within the last 90 days. Earnings from repeat buyers Your earnings from repeat orders (before any added fees/ taxes). Earnings from repeat buyers (%) The percentage of your earnings from repeat buyers from your total earnings. Notice the banner at the bottom of the page > See tips and tricks on how to meet (or exceed!) your buyers’ expectations > See more tips How to improve your score: Focus on your buyers’ requirements The more you know about what your buyers want, the better you can meet (or exceed!) their expectations. Keep your buyers updated Be quick in your responses and share updates with your buyers. Ensure them that you have their best interests in mind. Get early feedback on your work Get a feel for what your buyers are thinking and be flexible about making changes prior to the order delivery date. Tell buyers what else you have to offer Buyers often need extra services delivered. If you feel it appropriate, let them know how else you can add value to an ongoing order. Reward your valued buyers with coupons Everyone loves a good deal! Encourage buyers to order from you again using exclusive coupons for your Gig/s. For more information, please check out the repeat business help article. https://www.fiverr.com/support/articles/4404431241617 And as always, please let us know what you think and ask questions below!
  9. This was flagged and moved out of circulation. I have returned it to the "casual conversation" discussions. Reminder to keep the conversation civil and be respectful of other opinions.

  11. Correct. Your "Rank" here in the forum is largely based on the number of topics, posts and replies you have in the forum. It does not change anything on your sellers account.
  12. My PMs are open. Happy to discuss your perception vs the data.
  13. As for changes, yes. This has been about 7-8 months of work to get to where we are today (data migration, look, platform, etc). In the coming weeks, there will 100% be some changes to the categories, permissions, and leveling systems based on feedback and the designed "purpose" of the forum. I have referred to this launch as "seeing if the boat floats". Making sure all of the backend systems are working and the engine runs. Now we can turn our focus on the "how" we can find success in this shared community.
  14. In all seriousness. This is a great conversation about behavioral norms and preferences. There are many ways to interact with a post. An online forum should be a place that's accessible to everyone. I try to not dictate HOW someone interacts, I'm just happy they are interacting. It also sounds like there is an over-emphasis on "posting spam to gain a badge or rank". I see the numbers and I can assure you this is not the case. There's no one that I can see gaming the system for a fancier badge. I'll post something for the larger audience about this. But a good way to think about it is: Ranking - Activity (number of posts) Reputation - Content (quality of posts) Badges - Gamification of tasks Full transparency: I had given myself the "grand master" badge as a test to see how the ranking system worked. I'm happy to "play fair" and take those away. PS, In no way was it my intention to be rude or dismiss @mariashtelle1, quite the contrary. Apologies to her if that's the way she took interpreted it.
  15. Don't you worry. I see all of your posts. 😉
  16. No. Activity in the forum does not affect any rankings, listings, or Gigs on Fiverr.com.
  17. I know you're being sarcastic, but sometimes it doesn't come across to everyone as amusement. Someone who comes from a different culture or where English isn't their first language could misinterpret with out knowing the context. Personally, I try to steer clear of sarcasm in a written format, unless I can be 100% clear in my inclination or tone. I don't consider acknowledgement of a reply or a post to be "spam". In fact, just the opposite. I like seeing transparency in communication and recognition from those who are participating in the conversation. Remember, there are ALL levels of seller here on the forum who are all looking to be a part of the community.

  21. Hi everyone! We really appreciate the feedback and the conversation - programs like this are created to be tools for sellers and hearing what may work (and what might not) is important to everyone at Fiverr! To clarify a few things, first, @melissaharlowvo said it best: Exposure in programs like Fiverr’s Choice are not “pay for play.” The role of a seller success manager is to work with sellers on refining their Gigs, profiles and quality of service in order to have the best chance of being seen by more potential buyers. This also applies to Top Rated Sellers. It’s all about quality of work, buyer satisfaction and optimization. The success manager is there to offer consultation, insights and suggestions to help a seller achieve their goals. There was a question about how this program would affect those already assigned a Seller Success Manager. The Seller Success program, before Seller Plus, was a limited program, so it will end when their time is up. One of the reasons for the paid program is to give an opportunity to more people to join and for as long or little as they would like. I hope this helps clear some of the questions and concerns. We love hearing your feedback and thoughts about the program. Keep letting us know what you think and if you’re interested and we’ll be in touch when we begin the broader roll-out.

  23. With Fiverr’s commercial 6 days away, I want to know. Drop down in the comments: What is your favorite (or what is the best) Super Bowl Commercial of all time? Bud-weis-er Frogs?Whaaaazzzzzuuuuupppppp?Terry Tate: Office Linebacker?Personally… I loved the E*Trade Monkey.
  24. She only needs to know if she is in the US or not. I’m sure she can figure that out. Even if she was in the US which she is not she doesn’t need a tax advisor to tell her how to fill out the W9. It asks for name address and SS number. Everyone, regardless of location, should consult their tax advisor so they know their local earnings tax laws.
  25. Hi Everyone, In the next few day, some of you will see that we (Fiverr) will be asking sellers who are defined as a US Person* to complete a W-9 form regarding their activity on Fiverr. You will receive a notification on the Fiverr website and an email message asking you to check your status within 30 days, in a form of a short questionnaire. If in fact you are classified as a US Person*, you will undergo a short process in which you will fill in Form W-9 that contains standard business information to include your contact information, full address and tax forms. Fiverr will not use the information submitted as part of filling the Form W-9 for any purpose, apart from sending a 1099 form at the end of the year to the applicable tax authorities and update your billing address on Fiverr. Please note that all sellers are required to check if they need to fill out a Form W-9, regardless of their place of residence. By not doing so, within 30 days, your Gigs will be subject to automatic deactivation. Please read this article carefully for all the information. FAQ - When Fiverr is required under applicable laws, it will send a 1099 form at the end of the year to the applicable tax authorities. Currently, this applies to US-based sellers who earned at least $20,000 in that year and had at least 200 separate orders. Any transaction, including tips is counted toward the 200 transactions. An order and a tip are each seperate transatctions. Money earned. In certain circumstances, we may disclose the data in your W-9 form, with applicable US tax authorities, or as otherwise required by applicable law. None of this information will be displayed publicly on Fiverr. Please leave additional questions below. *For a definition of “US Person” please read more here: https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/classification-of-taxpayers-for-us-tax-purposes
