I have another gig with only 2 sales (in 2020) which also has a score of 8. I thought you needed at least 10 sales to get a gig score! The most interesting thing is:

Hello, A few weeks ago, my success score dropped from 10 to 9 for reasons I don't know. I've just had a look at the details of the gig score for each of my gigs and I discover that one of my gigs has a gig score of 8. And yet I've never sold this gig! How can I get a gig score on a gig that has no sales?

I finally have the answer from FIVERR. After 8 messages, they tell me: Translator is not a profession we currently have available, however, when we expand our catalog, you should be eligible for this profession as well. Can someone explain why they can't answer this earlier? I clearly asked them if I wasn't eligible or if this profession wasn't open yet (whoever the seller is). What a waste of time (for fiverr and for me)!

@filipdevaere I can select your profession (even though I know nothing about it). But I still can't select my profession!

Clicking on your gig and immediately leaving the page sends out the wrong signal. It means that your gig is of no interest to the people who click on it! Bad strategy...

Hello, I've added 2 "professions": proofreader and copywriter (which were suggested by Fiverr). Now I want to add a 3rd profession: "translator" but when I click on the drop-down button, I can't select the "translator" profession. I've contacted CS. Here's their reply: Eligibility for a Profession is based on your existing Gigs, meaning you can't add a Profession if you don't have a Gig tied to it. That means that in this case, you are not eligible for the translator profession. You can see more on the “overview” tab that appears on my seller page. I've already told them that my best-selling gig is in the "translation" category". I have 2 gigs in the "translation" category. I have had nearly 900 orders with these 2 gigs since 2017. My gig "I will translate Amazon listing into French" has a rating of 5.0, a success score of 10 and almost 400 reviews. My other translation gig is a Pro gig. On my profile, Fiverr says "expert in: Translation" 🤔 How can they tell me I'm not eligible for "translator" ?! On the other hand, I'm eligible for "proofreader" even though I've only had 18 orders for my proofreading gigs🤪

It would be a good idea for Fiverr to clearly inform sellers of this, because without titles there are a lot of images that make no sense. It looks very amateurish and unprofessional!

Fiverr has decided not to display titles on pro pages. Perhaps the most appropriate length is 0 🤔

I'm not an isolated case. Other sellers have already said the same thing on the forum. I don't understand what you're saying about the success score and "Plus". Subscribing to "Plus" will not increase your success score!

When I became a Top Seller, I made less money than the previous 2 years (other sellers had the same experience...). The only thing that had a positive impact was becoming a Pro.

I don't know. I find it hard to believe that in 2024, Fiverr's super algorithm will rank services solely on one criterion (number of reviews), without taking into account sales trends, customer target (pro), potential turnover, potential commission...

I raised the price to $105. It's now my most expensive gig, but that doesn't change anything. It's still in first place on Fiverr Pro. And now Fiverr says: From US$105/project. Wrong... I have 2 gigs at $50 and 5 gigs at $100. It really doesn't make sense!

I reported this seller several years ago (on Fiverr and on another platform too).

I'm one of those sellers, so I'm not going to complain! My non-pro gig sales have dropped by 80% since last year. If I hadn't been promoted to Pro, I would have closed my account. They should highlight the BEST-SELLING pro gig. When you click on "+3 more", you don't even see the thumbnail of my Pro gig which has accounted for 50% of my sales since the beginning of the year. 😞

The basis of business... we show clients what they're likely to buy, not what's cheapest. Besides, Pro clients aren't looking for the cheapest price. Otherwise, Fiverr wouldn't ask us to have a minimum price of $100 for pro gigs 🤔
