[How do you handle sellers asking for work?]

I used to tell them that it was a violation of Fiverr's Terms of Service, but they'd just keep asking for work. These days, I reply with something like "I'm sorry, but I'm not looking to hire", and then report and block them.

I will try this one. Thanks

You reply anything you want (you need to reply something so it doesn't count against you) and then you mark as spam.

Yes, I'll start the conversation and then mark it as spam. Hopefully, this won't cause any response rate issue on my profile.

That's how. End of story!

I tried this and my response rate deducted so I decide no to mark spam.

Hello Freelancers, 

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to discuss a recurring challenge I've encountered on Fiverr, and I'm reaching out to seek your insights or advice.

One of my primary frustrations stems from receiving unsolicited messages from sellers, often seeking work or suggestions on how to enhance their presence on the platform. Initially, my response was to promptly report such messages as spam. However, this approach backfired as I noticed a decline in my response rate, prompting me to seek assistance from Fiverr Support.

These messages not only divert my attention but also create complications for me in managing my Fiverr interactions.

I am eager to explore alternative solutions to address this issue more effectively. If you have any recommendations or if there's a method you've found successful, I would greatly appreciate your insights.

Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

Best regards,

[Addressing a Recent Surge in Unsolicited Work Requests from Fellow Sellers]

Daily I am getting around 6 to 10 spam messages. I think if this continues, my response rate will go further down. I hope Fiverr solves this spamming issue quickly.

Another sad part is sometimes they come through from promoted gig option, meaning I pay them so that they can ask work from me.

So disappointing. Though I did not face this issue from promoted gig but I can understand your pain.

I agree completely.  Unfortunately, the people who do this type of thing won't read or understand this post.

Just keep marking them as spam.

Yes, I am marking spam but within 3 or 4 days I got around 20+ messages and after I marked all of them spam, my response rate went down to 99% from 100 %. 

I may have to contact support for this downgrade. 

[Addressing a Recent Surge in Unsolicited Work Requests from Fellow Sellers]

 

Hey, Fiverr community,

I hope this post finds you all in good health and high spirits. I wanted to bring to light a concerning issue I've been facing on the platform lately, which involves receiving a significant number of unsolicited work requests from fellow sellers.

Over the past few months, Fiverr has been doing an excellent job at filtering out spam and improving the overall experience for both buyers and sellers. However, recently, I have noticed a noticeable increase in unsolicited messages from other sellers, asking me to give them work.

While networking and collaboration are essential elements of any community, it's crucial that we respect each other's boundaries and maintain a level of professionalism. Unsolicited work requests can be disruptive and can hinder our ability to focus on providing the best service to our clients.

To tackle this issue, I've had no choice but to mark these messages as spam to ensure that my inbox remains clutter-free and allows me to focus on serving my clients effectively.

I kindly urge my fellow sellers to refrain from sending unsolicited work requests to their peers. Instead, let's foster a community of mutual respect and support by engaging in meaningful conversations, sharing tips, and offering constructive feedback.

If you're looking to collaborate or seek advice, I encourage you to use the appropriate channels, such as the forum, to connect with other sellers. Let's work together to maintain a positive and professional environment on Fiverr.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Best regards,
Asif

Maybe all the senior sellers get that type of messages. But no worries, Fiverr have the report or block option for that. You can just ignore them. 

Yes, I do have to report or block but sometimes, I think if there are better solution to this problem or not.

Yes , daily I get a number of messages like this . Either it will be for a partnership , or asking for money . At first I used to feel bad for them , but now I immediately report them. Because I remember the hardships I faced during the start of my freelancing journey , the nights I couldn't sleep when there was a pending order .......

Getting succeded on Fiverr is not easy  and we should always follow the rules given by Fiverr. They have instructed us to report these type of messages immediately. If we do not do it , it can affect our profile . 

I can totally relate to you. I know it is hard to build a business on Fiverr. I can also recall my struggle at first. I did not get order for first 4 months but on those 4 months I prefer using my time to learn new skills. I think it is more important rather contacting with co-sellers, 

 

Now, I do the same, report as soon as possible. 

Happy Freelancing. 

[Dealing with co-sellers becoming huge problem!!]

Hello, I am currently facing a weird problem on Fiverr. Daily I am receiving 4-5 new messages from co-sellers asking for help either for work or request to help them learn how to earn in this platform. 

Today, one new seller asked for $50 so that he can take up a course and learn. I kind of felt bad and help him understand, this is not right place to ask for help. I am a seller here, I do provide services to my buyers not running a learning platform where I can teach new sellers how to earn on Fiverr. 

I think on Fiverr, new sellers are overflowing comparing the amount of works are available. 

I try to be polite and explain them sometimes but when I am in rush, I just report them and report spam. 

Are you facing similar issues? Is there any permanent solution to this problem? 

[How to gain the Fiverr choice on your gig as a new seller?]

There are no specific formula to get Fiverr choice badge. But key is to provide great quality work with great communication with timely manner and you can get selected for fiver choice. This is a manual selection process by the fiverr team so there is no sure shot rule. Thanks  

[As a new seller how can i get my first job.]

Create order worthy gigs is most important. If your gig is competitive and better than others, you will get sales sooner or later. Optimise your gigs and also be promote to answer buyer questions. Thanks 

[What should my gig's price be like as a new seller?]

Optimise your gigs so that buyers are eager to order from you. Impression and clicks means nothing if you are failing to generate orders. 

[Gig first page but no order]

If you have the gig on the first page that does not mean it gets clicks or orders though your impressions will go up. Try to optimise and make your gigs more attractive in every part so that you can get orders. Thanks 

[FIVER GIG VIDEO]

Your video will be review by the team then it will publish if no issue found. Generally the process takes less than half an hour. 

[Gigs were removed]

There must be some reason to removed gigs. You can contact support and ask the support to let you know what was the problems that your gigs were removed. Their answer will help you understand more how you should create your gig. Thanks 

[what if a order in revision hangs around 6 - 7 months.]

Woah, never knew that orders could be in revisions for 1 or 3 year 😄 I always try to complete the orders without revisions but if they get into revisions, I try mostly to complete them ASAP so it doesn't affect my stats

I try to complete the order as soon as possible too but someone some buyers ask for modification without any proper feedback and go offline for a decade. Usually, I frequently ask for their attention but they sometimes come back late. 

[what if a order in revision hangs around 6 - 7 months.]

I had a revision order once for about a year. It will not effect any regular orders I think. But try to close the order as soon as possible is great for peace of mind.
