And to add I would also assume that cancellation ratio will play a big role in getting this feature. Again it’s only my assumption. Because if you are getting cancellations or clients cancel orders it means that fiverr can’t offer early payout to you and they will loose money if clients will be asking for money back after order is completed and you withdrawn the money

You saw that you had less impressions right after you completed an order then there is one thing to keep in mind: fiverr has private feedback form that they send to buyers and it weights much more than public feedback. you client might’ve left 5 stars public review but in anonymous feedback they could write an honest review which could be different from public one. and those hidden reviews fiverr takes into account when “ranking” your gig. don’t loose your hope, keep your hard work, learn and improve constantly and that wouldn’t go unnoticed by buyers

It’s not me “mentioning it” 😉 you quoted a part of the definition that was serving your views but you purposely ignored the part that you didn’t serve your purpose, so I just quoted the full definition of the word “spam” and not my “opinion”. if you’ll open a profile of that person (or many others) you’ll see that they send only one message to all topics no matter what is the discussion in that topic. And that is definition of spam. And that is correct. I do like a good debate with exchange of opinions like we are having right now, because it’s a meaningful conversation. And all those “same problem. Yassss. Of course. And active forum” on the contrary are not meaningful nor they express any opinions or adding value to the conversation, it’s simply done to gain a forum badge

Well, you forgot to add here the full text of that definition. No worries. I will add it here for the purpose of non-commercial proselytizing, for any prohibited purpose, or simply sending the same message over and over to the same user

@mjensen415 it’s really great to see an official answer here I know you're being sarcastic It’s not a sarcasm, I just made an assumption. The same assumption as “staying active on a forum will rank your gig” (by the way, English is also not my first language) It also will be great to hear an official answer on other myths like the one mentioned above: Does it make a difference staying online on a forum?

I guess the same as he believes that writing on the forum will rank his gig 🤷‍♀️ If it works one way it can work the other way

Please stop spamming forum with “sema problem” and “yes of course messages”. Spamming on the forum will derank your gig.

It's easy to say that you would pay 250$ for membership on Fiverr when you are already established seller here and you know for a fact that you will make that money anyway. I know what Fiverr brings me and I probably would stick to it anyway. But for new sellers who didn't try the platform or don't have established clientele it will be almost impossible to afford that. Remembering myself 8 years ago, I wouldn't have joined any paid memberships, and in fact I didn't. I have profiles on most freelancing websites but I use only a couple of them for various reasons but "paid memberships" or "pay to play" is definitely a factor for me when I have to pay upfront without knowing what would it bring and what would be the ROI.

Of course it is possible. however what did you do to get orders within a week? Or did you just create your gig and now is only sitting and waiting for orders?

That’s kind of logical. 🤔 if you don’t have a gig then there is nothing to rank. And if you have a gig then it’s the only source to get “rank”.

I’ve never seen it taking 24 hours. if it’s not in pending clearance then you should contact support and give them a ticket number saying that those funds doesn’t appear in your pending clearance

Yes they do. Anyone can see and join fiverr forum, however it’s naturally more sellers than buyers visiting forum to get an advice

Who is your target audience for your service?

Never saw that statistics. Low sales periods happens at all levels. That doesn’t mean that lower level sellers specifically make more money than higher levels or higher levels make more money that lower levels. It all depends on a person, a service, season and a lot of other factors on how many sales and how big will be your income. Your income doesn’t depend on a seller level.

Why would you expect more gifts?

Ok so it shows that you didn’t read fiverr TOS. Even after your account was restricted. You can reach out to support after 90 days if you don’t have access to your account anymore and ask for withdrawal of your funds.

Usually it clears at the same time when order was completed.

I’m late to the party and I wasn’t sure if I should jump on it but fine, here are my 2 cents: I did notice around November December that things changed a little bit and that algorithm was almost like predicting if I’m tired or if I have more resources to deliver more orders. It seems to be very responsive nowadays to even slightest changes in your behaviour which I really like. I noticed that if I deliver 2-3 orders even just a day earlier I immediately get a lot of impressions and a lot of new enquiries in my inbox or orders almost right away If my orders got accepted without revisions then it has similar effect However if I do have orders stuck in revisions then I start noticing that I don’t receive so many new inquiries anymore. I didn’t see any difference with notifications “your buyer is awaiting your reply for x hours”. Because sometimes they are just the last ones to leave a message and it will be ridiculous if we will go “thank you, no thank you, ok prefect, sure great” until I’m the last one to leave the message I do like that this algo seems a bit more flexible because if I’m overwhelmed something falls through cracks and messages are replied a bit later than usually or it takes a bit longer (but within the timeline) to deliver orders then algo reads it like “seller is busy don’t throw more work their way”. And if you do deliver early and reply fast it seems like “that person has enough resource and time to deliver everything, they are still outperforming, give them more work”. With old algorithm it seemed that you make one mistake and everything goes to hell for a couple of months. Now it doesn’t seem to be so inflexible anymore. Though I do think there is still “good old” gig rotation.

I want to sneak peak on those reviews sooo bad! Even if they are shown to us anonymously 🙈

That’s exactly what people replied in this topic above, you just need to read their replies. As per fiverr TOS you can not.

They had 36 million $ in losses in 2019.

because you creating gigs doesn’t men that you will get orders right away just because you exist and your gig is on Fiverr. if there is no demand for your services then people wouldn’t buy, if there is no need people wouldn’t buy, if there is no traffic- people wouldn’t buy, if they don’t like your portfolio-they wouldn’t buy. It can be whatever reason for you not getting orders and it’s purely your job and part of being a freelancer to figure out what works for you to attract clients and the ways to do so.

The same way as if you would’ve run your own business. And why your gig should rank higher than anyone else? You need to prove to fiverr with your track record that you are a reliable seller with an amazing service.
