Often, I do not get back to a potential buyer for over an hour, and I still get sales.

Many buyers have placed several orders with me, and I would not dream of reaching out to them to ask if they needed more help. It would be presumptuous of me and border on asking for work. Nonetheless, it is up to @nikola_p which advice he wants to take. His account will succeed or be endangered based on the advice given here.

If you are working at your computer, then yes, but do not sit in front of your computer merely to be active on Fiverr; it does no good. If you have a phone, you can download the app and set it so that you get emails and notifications if you are ever contacted on Fiverr and reply as quickly as possible. I do that, and my response time is one hour. I can respond via the phone app or go to my computer to talk to a prospective buyer. Here is my general schedule. I sleep in until 8 or 9 am. Then I start my computer and log on to Fiver with it and my phone app. If I have messages, I answer them. If I have orders, I work on them. If not, I go about my day and keep my phone nearby. One seller said on the Forum this week that she takes her phone with her when she herds her cows in the forest and replies to messages via the Fiverr app. Do not stay chained to your computer to get orders. You have a life outside of Fiverr to live. This afternoon I am going to my grandchildren's play. Yesterday, I traveled 3 hours away to spend the day with my sister and still talked with two buyers who placed two orders.

When I updated my gigs, impressions and clicks increased dramatically! So, the @michmikaia suggestion is a good one. However, I agree with @vibronx, it is very risky to contact former buyers, especially after being inactive for such an extended time. I had surgery in May and was inactive for about a month. It takes a while to get going again, but it is possible. Good luck. 🍀

@musakhan312 I like your smiling image for a profile picture better than the serious one in a suit. You look much more approachable. I also like that you put your English proficiency as basic. Prospective buyers appreciate truthful sellers.

There are no tricks to being successful on Fiverr; staying active for hours, as suggested by many users above who have few, if any, sales is not the answer either. This is advice given by users who do not understand how Fiverr works. However, I took time to look at your profile and only gig. I have three recommendations to make. 1. Tell the truth about your English proficiency; you are not fluent. When buyers contact you, they will soon discover this and wonder what else you are lying about. 2. Your profile description should be your introduction to your prospective clients. Yours is merely a list of your qualifications. 3. Your gig description should be a description of the services you will provide to your clients and how you will do that. Yours is, again, merely a list of your qualifications. Plus, from reading your gig description and gig thumbnail, I do not know what your services include.

This type of FALSE advice never stops! 🤦🏻‍♀️

What requests are you referring to? 🤔

So you are trying to cheat the Fiverr system by using your brother's name to set up a second account on Fiverr? How nice, another person willing to break Fiverr's TOS. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Seller's can already sell gigs in different categories. ⬇️

Typically, that is not something that happens on Fiverr. Some people wait a week, a month, or even a year. Some sellers never get orders. I am a TRS now, but it took me 45 days to get my first order. While I waited, I updated my gig images and perfected the gig descriptions. I still update my descriptions every few months.

My husband and I both have Fiverr accounts and CS told me we could access our accounts on the same devices.

Your gig thumbnail is cut off.

Congratulations on achieving your TRS badge. It is well deserved. We share a SPM. I noticed you mentioned her by name someplace else on the Forum. She is the best!

As a buyer, I prefer working with sellers with at least a slight smile in their profile images. Perhaps you would attract a buyer by changing your profile image.

Are you a member?

I just had to look at the "Sort By" drop-down menu to ensure you were correct. 😊

@vickieito, even after hearing about your loss weeks ago, I am still deeply saddened by the news of your family's loss. It sounds like Jun was a wonderful man. Thank you for sharing some of his wisdom—blessings to you and your family.

You can use Google to discover the answer to your question.

I am a buyer who sometimes sells on Fiverr. I would never click on your gig because it has too many tiny words. As a buyer, I quickly look through the gig images and do not read the text written below them. Your gig image is cluttered with words, and nothing stands out to tell me what service you sell. Shorten the text on your gig image to four or five bold words, and you will have better luck attracting a buyer.

Fiverr CS told me that as a proofreader, it is against TOS for me to rewrite another seller's gig descriptions. At best, I can only proofread them for conventions of English. I cannot rewrite sentences to make them flow better.

Unfair activities? Do you mean activities that break Fiverr's TOS?

It sounds like it is too much work to offer freelancing services on the U! I will stick with Fiverr!

Could @jimmy_liew be talking about briefs?

It is this course: https://www.udemy.com/course/the-complete-fiverr-course-i/ A Forum member posted a month or two back about this teacher teaching it in her class. I guess Udemy does not check its teachers' qualifications or the course content's truthfulness. And look, she has spread her garbage advice to over 9000 gullible students! As a result, we sellers suffer. I am tempted to sign up for the class so I can have contact with her and dispute her claim.

Yes, these Fake "Fiverr Gurus" promote these lies, and we Fiverr sellers suffer for it! 🤬
