Good luck with that. Cats are curious creatures and, given a chance, into everything ...

Crazy cat lady here. I often think about getting a dog ... but then when it's raining, or snowing, or -10c ... change my mind, watching a neighbour taking out his two perfectly adorable dogs for a walk in whatever the weather is ... Perfectly happy to admire and make friends with other people's dogs ... !

If I think a buyer is going to leave a less than stellar review - rather than being sure of it! - I will leave a 5* with the commnet "Thank you for your order". Mostly, because my buyers are generally enthusiastic, they leave 5* and my initial review is more detailed, particularly if they are a first time buyer. Occasionally, I think things have gone well ... and they leave a 4* - some people are like that. On the rare occasions that happens, I feel peeved. Then I take a breath, step back ... write a response indicating my take on it. For example - one buyer left 4*s for communication (I'm a *great* communicator, btw), writing that communication could have been better. After doing the whole "take a breath thing" - I said they were right: communication wasn't great because *they* were not easy to get hold of (read: non responsive) and found answering my questions difficult. You can be honest - but tactful! - in your responses to public reviews. Private reviews you can't do much about. If they only leave a private one, but nothing public, the only way you can know about it is if your gig suddenly gets ignored by the algorithm. It's never "for no reason".

I'd like an invitation - thank you.

$250 per month is $3000 per year. That's more than most fiverr sellers make all year. I myself made a whole $20 in my first year selling. I make more now, obvs, but still ... What the bigger platforms do is pay per proposal. Each seller is given a small, non rolling over number of proposal credits free each month ... and then after that they have to either pay to make more proposals, or wait until the next month. No doubt Fiverr could work something out along those lines ... Charging a recurring fee at a level usually only seen for high level marketing courses would be self defeating.

If you look at your analytics page, quite far down, you'll see a list of what matters in terms of levels ... and gig ranking. If any of those stats go under 90%, your ranking will suffer. In addition, there is an undisclosed review that buyers are urged to complete about their order. This has more effect on your rank than anything Fiverr shares with you. Do a search for any of Frank_d's posts - he goes into far more detail. Bottom line: there's *far* more to ranking your gig than reviews.

Don’t take on more than you can cope with - set your queue value low and your delivery longer

I’ve had one of those - Hong Kong is a tiny island that doesn’t show on the map. Roll your cursor over where it should be - a tool tip will show up when you hit the right spot.

I think that newbies don’t really understand just how incredibly strict Fiverr is about their TOS

The forum is here for information, discussion … and whining about Fiverr. We like it that way (mostly).

You live in Glasgow? One of my favourite cities. We were up there for a few days last year. It hammered it down with rain, but we still had a great time. We’ve done a few city breaks over the last few years, and the people in Glasgow were by far the friendliest we encountered. Lol! It often does. We had very good weather first couple of weeks in August - everyone was squinting at the sky, wondering what that light was … 😉

I have my favourite food and fashion blogs … occasionally go out for a walk or a coffee with a friend. Although Glasgow is on lock down again … those young folks will insist on meeting their friends …
