Fiverr killed other freelancers with this pro program. I applied years ago, and regardless of my stellar work, no response yet. I m starting to think this is not for African-based freelancers? This is sad for me because I am now getting no traffic at all after years of success on Fiver and other years of waiting to be top-rated. What does it really take? Disappointed!

Yes, looking for targeted customers All the numbers matter because the more they see, the more the odds of making a sale increase.

But you said promoting elsewhere does not result in increased metrics?

But how does one promote gigs on Fiverr when they always lock gigs for promotion? Sometimes it's hard to understand this algorithm. It has become so confusing recently.

This is a good question. I will follow to see responses.

This is rather confusing. I will wait until this comes out. Anyway, I have been having a bad experience with buyer requests because of a lot of spams.

I had many orders at once, so I decided to go on vacation mode and complete the projects I had. When I switched back to taking orders, my gigs are suddenly having no impressions and I can no longer promote any. So, my question is; Should freelancers be punished for applying some work management strategies so that we continue producing quality work without too much rushing it? If there is someone who works at Fiverr who is reading this, kindly assist because this platform seems to be getting harder and harder for freelancers to make it. I need some clarity if I should go on vacation mode at all - and if not, then why out the option when you know that once we do that, we are pushed back to the last pages on search results?

Even good sellers are struggling here. The system has changed a lot and it's getting hard to keep up. The ups are now very limited compared to the downs.

I stopped sending buyer requests because they just yield nothing (time and effort versus payout is nothing). It's just a time waster. Most buyers that put in requests just want freebies from new sellers and some are scammers. Serious buyers know what they want. They select buyers from the list of services and contact them directly.

Yes, you can promote as many as you want. They just have to be meeting the qualifying criterion.

Thank you. I have also decided not to use the feature anymore. I also suspect it confuses the buyers, especially those new to the platform. It's better to discuss with the buyer and send as many smaller orders until the project is complete.

Hi, I did a milestone order with my client. We completed the first one, and the client accepted it and approved the second one. But the order page still shows no progress on the second milestone and I can't even see the delivery button. Is anyone experiencing this?

This will be difficult to ascertain. Perhaps users can share their best selling categories.

Great suggestion. Personally, I have evolved so much since joining Fiverr, I would like to also change the username to match the new services I now offer.
