No your rating doesn’t dictate your ranking. Thousands of sellers are at Level 2. Each page has less than 50 spots for gigs. So it isn’t even possible for them to all rank well. Plus there are many other factors in the algorithm and Fiverr programs it that way for their business goals. This has been discussed here many times. All gigs fluctuate in the rankings dramatically regardless of performance.

Yes. And what determines your keyword recognition? The algorithm. That’s how it works.

No you aren’t at all. You’re talking about why are you on the last pages or not at all. That’s literally what you said. That is your ranking. Ranking means what your position is for a search query.

Rankings change, often drastically. That’s the nature of algorithms.

I haven’t seen or used it, no. I think it’s problematic to need to do this and shows that people need to diversify their income, especially if people rely on this feature and use it often. That said, I appreciate that everyone has a crisis here and there and could use money earlier.

Yay Canada! I am in Canada but most of my orders come from the U.S. I suspect this may be because what I offer is standard marketing there and it seems to take longer to catch on elsewhere.

Nothing in this job requires email. This buyer is trouble.

Thanks for the ideas! I am kind of musical artist challenged. But I just got myself an early gift of an Amazon Alexa, and it is so nice to merely be able to tell her to play what I want to hear. Now, I have a list of what to try. I was a teen when they began. I like the 50’s and 60’s classics. Motown while you work?

NIN would be great work music! Nice! I like to listen to Radiohead while I work.

Your gig URL slug isn’t going to affect that. I know in regular SEO it can, but not on Fiverr. Fiverr explains very clearly that you can’t change your gig URL. No system anywhere changes your URL slug automatically when you change your title. Because then people would complain about losing their backlinks.

From my experience, no tax consultant or accountant can understand freelancing. To me, this undermines credibility in their entire profession. Every single tax consultant assumes that freelancers are working with local businesses directly. The fact that they never commit to understanding what you do makes them not worth paying to work with in the first place. Not necessarily. The tax credits alone make it worth it, but I see what you’re saying.

I’m not sure why it confuses accountants because it’s basic sub-contractor work. Fiverr is our client. Do they not have other clients who sub-contract? It’s just weird to me that so many don’t seem to get it. I know VAT is confusing and complicated, but it seems accountants make it more so by not understanding how and why it is a sub-contract. Or maybe their freelancer clients aren’t describing it that way.

I suspect they don’t specify it because there is no ratio that is ideal for both impressions and views. So annoying and unfortunate, I know. It’s another reason to make a gig video, though!

Do you mean stretched when seen as an impression, like in search results? Unfortunately they aren’t clear on that. I’ve found gig images tend to look different as a view than as an impression. I think it’s just a flaw in their setup. I don’t think there is a ratio that would avoid said issues here.

YES, it can work, but only if you use it properly. People don’t use Reddit to see other people’s promotion and spam. They use it to have conversations and exchange insights. If you share powerful insights, people will want to get to know you and look you up. Reddit only helps you generate leads if you use it organically. THAT’S how it works. It doesn’t work by you posting your link there and telling people to buy something. NO ONE WANTS TO SEE THAT. It is more than disappointing to see how many people assume a platform can’t help them just because spamming there didn’t work for them. If you think spamming is the only way to engage people in what you do and you genuinely don’t understand why you’re banned for behaving like this, you shouldn’t be marketing yourself online.

Your Fiverr buyers aren’t your customers. You are a subcontractor of Fiverr and Fiverr is your client. It’s like if you sub-contract for an agency. You don’t pay tax based on your client’s clients. The company you are subcontracting for does that because they are their clients, not yours. You’re just paying tax on your income, not on a per-product or per client’s client. Also, Fiverr gigs are services, not products, because you are personally fulfilling them with your time and labour snd skill. The VAT rules you are thinking of apply to products, not services.

Great idea! I’ve found that it’s hard to find a great still in your video. This would be a great solution to that, too. Thanks for the tip!

No you can’t. Read the ToS. Why do people ask questions that are explained in the ToS?

You do get to choose which image is the primary, but video is by default the one that shows up as primary if you have one. I’m not sure why you would want a photo to show instead of your video. People watch the gig videos in the search feed and it’s a much better way to engage.

When you offer that many revisions, you attract scammers and incompetent buyers. You’re also really undercharging and that also attracts these types of people.

That is a very poor use of your time. Even if you got 10 orders, you wouldn’t even break even on the time you spend doing thism It is what you DO with your time that makes it valuable, not merely the fact that you spent a lot of time.

You don’t look for clients here. The idea of a marketplace is to be discoverable and desirable to sellers who are looking for something.

I work at night, too, and had never thought of setting up such a mode. Thanks for the suggestion! I would put it in the Fiverr Suggestions section because it is more likely that Fiverr staff will see it there and consider it.

A social media kit is a package of branded materials like banners, posts and other content for you to post on your social media pages. It is all branded with the client’s branding to create a seamless image across all of the platforms that people can identify as a signature of the brand. The “stationary design” is supposed to say “stationery design” (stationary means still; stationery means paper products). The stationery reference means branded designs for stationary, for letterheads and sticky notes, for example. The stationery branding would be the same as the social media branding, again to create a seamless image across all the properties of a brand.

It isn’t a gig. It’s an extra you can add to a gig so if people want to receive their order within a faster time frame than you’ve allotted in your gigs, they can order that. This question has been asked many times in the forum. Please look things up before asking them here.
