Good luck on your Fiverr 🍀

Try contacting Customer Service. 😕

Realistic expectations: “I know that I may get some orders from Fiverr’s searches, but I shouldn’t rely on just that. I should find where my buyers are and advertise my services there too. Then, I will have some business coming in when Fiverr’s searches don’t bring too many orders”. Their expectations: “Fiverr should give me a steady stream of orders, all the time. And how dare you even THINK that a buyer may look at my gig and not want to buy it!” There is a tremendous amount of competition on Fiverr. Sellers can must promote where their buyers will be. I proofread so I join online book clubs and once people there know me I let them know the service I offer that could benefit them. It does not do any good to simply open a social media account and post your gig and hope someone will find you.

Maybe the words of Eoin the wise :mage:

Which is it? :thinking: Your first statement is not true. 🤥 I am one of the sellers and my orders have increased in June and are even better in July. I have read on the Forum that several sellers have said the same thing.

Many people are talking about this same subject here. 🔽

Now, my response was friendly and clear as well as establishing the fact that I value myself correctly. It had a little humor, but was also quite straight to the point - what you are offering is not enough, period. This has resulted in a series of projects with this client and will total 250k words by the end, all at my going rate with a small discount that I offered after the first 50,000 words. If I had just said “No” to the client, that would have been the end of it. If I had accepted that rate, I would be absolutely miserable working on this while having to send away higher paying clients. Moreover, the client is exceptionally happy with the work and the overall experience. Now, this situation is just one of many similar cases where the initial contact with the client was what others would call negative. Some clients do not order with me because my price is higher than their budget - that’s ok. They go away disappointed because they cannot work with me - some even come back weeks or months later having saved up the required amount! So there you have it, dealing with “bad buyers” is not so bad usually. How you handle them can dramatically change things for both of you. Try it out next time and see how it goes. If you disagree or can take nothing else from this whole post, just go read the Valuing Yourself Properly section again. When I taught, I found this statement to be true for “bad students” too. Usually a bit of humor went a long ways in restoring civility in some students. 😉

Lol, then you definitely would not like living where the temp 🌡️

Just like this but a bit thinner: I see. They do look comfy, but they could only be summer slippers here as in my part of the world I like to keep my toes, heels, and ankles covered because of the cold. Also these would not be practical venture out to drive my car that is pictures above. They are only to be worn in the house. I found these slippers for Eoin’s “hobbit feet.” 😉

It’s like running bare feet, just without the pain. It’s super light and super comfy to boot. I can’t stress enough how great these are. You gotta try these to see what I mean. Plus, we have like these SUPER CHEAP $2 slippers that are made from Towel. They are incredibly soft like crazy soft. I want a picture. :thinking: I do not :running_woman:t2:

😂 I call it the innovation of shoes. LMBO, your sneakers look 💯% better than @eoinfinnegan’s like eww. 🤢 Whoa! That sounds a frightening ordeal, did the passengers make it out safely without any bruises? Nice! Maybe, it’s time to start training. :rofl: Yes, he was uninjured, but the car had damage, but not so much that my hubs could not drive away,

I do not believe the run part! 🤨 We had a silver Mitsubishi and traded it in for a newer black convertible. It was very nice looking. We loved it until hubby was driving down a dry mountain road within the speed limit and discovered an icy spot at the bottom of the hill that caused the car to spin 360 degrees and then fly over the barrow pit and through a barbed wire fence! 😱 If it had not been for the Mitsubishi’s low center of gravity the car would have rolled for sure. This is my car last winter. Now you know why I am not a fan of snow! All that shoveling and scraping. It gets old fast! 😫 image.jpg2667×2000 1.32 MB

@millennialtax is a buyer saying he has sellers reach back to him. He does not mind if they check in with him to see how he is doing. Maybe the problem would be if the seller reaches back only to sell something? But to be safe I would think sellers should not take a chance on reaching back to a seller they do not know well.

I was surprised. I think it might have been a bug. I messaged her to apologise and explain but she has never answered.

I lost a buyer because of vacation mode. I was in the middle of her order and went on vacation mode and although she could talk to me on the order page, apparently she got the message that she could not contact me. She said, “It will not do if I can not contact you when I need to.” And left me my first 3.5 review. 🙁

😮 Oh no! Is pausing gigs better?

I went to the Grand Canyon a few years ago with a friend on a cross-country trip. It’s a spectacular sight to see (in-person) that’s for sure. You can go white water rafting and also take a mule ride down the Canyon to the bottom and camp out overnight. I didn’t do it, the pathway is very narrow so I was freakin’ out. Eek! 😬 Then we went to The Hoover Dam, Nevada ~ It’s incredible! The History, The Tour was fun & a learning experience on how it was built and everything. Hoover-Dam-bridge.jpg1500×998 1.63 MBWhen we drive the Going to the Sun Road in Glacier National Park, it is kind of scary if you are sitting on the passenger side on the way up. Scary but the view is spectacular! It is also fun on a hot day to drive next to the water flowing off the mountain.

Another place I would like to see is the Grand Canyon. I have looked down on it from a plane, but I would like to be there.

They went for a whole month last January and escaped our winter.

Oh, how nice! I’ve been fascinated with going to Africa to see the wildlife for a very long time. I can definitely see myself getting spoiled and relaxing on the first two you posted. Sigh One day, one day, I shall visit the wonderful continent and see all the great things nature and god has made for us! 😍 We had friends go to Tanzania and one other place in Africa. The elephants were right outside their treetop hotel when they lounged on the deck.

That is the same outfit my handsome hubby wears when he plays the drum in his Scottish Band. When people ask him what he wears under his kilt, he says, “My sock.” 😉

GREAT CHOICES :ok_hand:t4:Amazing views. I’m just imagining myself driving down the Norway highway nothing compares. I know The Florida Keys has a stretch of highway similar to the one you’ve posted. florida-keys-road-trip_01.jpg2080×1380 421 KBRagnar Lothbrok ~ I’d wear tennis shoes, NO heels lol. My clumsy 🍑

I thought and thought and decided I would like to travel to Norway and Sweden, with a stop off in England and Scotland. My family roots are in all of these countries. (Well, to be honest, I am only a wee bit of Scottish, but I loved the Outlander books and maybe a trip back through the stones would be exciting!) I would go with my children, grandchildren, and my hubby. For sure I would drive the Atlantic highway along the coast of Norway. And I want to sit on this big rock just like I saw Ragnar Lothbrok do in the History Channel series, Vikings. I will NOT go in the winter. I would rather explore the Fjords in summer. Maybe even catch a river cruise. I love the villages. They look quaint. Although I frequently see the northern lights where I live, I think in Norway and Sweden they will be brighter! I also would have to enjoy some Scandinavian cuisine.
