That won't matter. Price has dropped over 90% from the top, nothing changed. Stock price only matters in a very long timeframe, specially for the kind of business Fiverr is - these new "tech" startups are expected to burn cash for a long time, just look at uber, etc. Personally I hope it goes up a bit in the short term, so I can exit my position at break even, at least. -
Relatively is pulling a ton of weight there.

Quality troll. Also, that must be one of the most unique profiles I've ever seen.

Request to order on. I've been doing this for a long time - I only send an offer once I have ALL requirements. I don't accept any files after an order starts, and make that abundantly clear prior to sending the offer. This means I never have any disputes, or cancelations due to requirements missing, etc. Seems to have paid off in my score.
-
Ok, that's bizarre. Fiverr's choice gigs should be selected based on buyer satisfaction. It makes no sense to promote a gig that is internally scored at 4. @Kesha, how can something like this happen?
-
Do you mean a gig that is showing a success score of 4 is tagged as Fiverr's choice? That would be... very weird.
-
Fiverr Neo is devoid of personality to a scary degree, even by chatbot standards. Even neutered chat gpt has more edge.
-
@eduardoquiles Man, you realize this gig breaks terms of service, right? Before worrying about success score, if I were you I would be worrying about getting an account ban.

This is not true, if anything I feel the opposite. I'm in video editing, which has much more moving parts than nearly any other vertical, including graphics design. I have a 10, and I feel it's easier to get and maintain that, since we can show the client what we've done, and sound impressive doing so - because we can go over a ton of details. Something like a voice over artist can just say "We recorded your script, and did it in a certain tone..." and that's it. The more steps your activity has (in the case of video we have sound design, color, editing, footage selection, titling, motion graphics, keying and compositing, etc. etc.), the more you can justify your work, and potentially look better value to the client.

Only if they have a ton of gigs. I can have up to 30, have 9 at the moment, and honestly I could do with fewer. Since you can't have different gigs offering the same service, to offer 20 gigs you need to be able to do 20 different services. I always suspect anyone who claims to be able to do 20 different things professionally. I've seen a lot of profiles offering the same thing 10 times, with slight title variations. I've seen people offering every service under the sun - I'll do logo design, websites, translations, horoscopes, video, music, nutrition plans. Makes your profile look like a flea market.

The $200 buyers will complain less. But still more than the $2000 buyers. Ideally we should be aiming at the $20k buyers, though. Bigger the budget = more reasonable the client. 99% of times, it works every time.

I know how it works. The "value for money" you see on reviews is not what's having an impact on the score - that's why you can have 5 stars in value for money in all your reviews, and see "value for money" as a negative in your success score. What's having an impact is the "value for money" you don't see, on the private form.
-
Publicly. Value for money has been on the private feedback form for over a year now. That's not having an effect on the score you see.
-
New? Welcome to the club. That has been the only valid strategy since we got request to order, thank god.

Well, that's the issue with the consultation gigs, and how they're set up. They're a risk. If the client isn't happy with what they hear, they can just leave a bad review and that's it. Nothing you can do about it. The only solution for this would be for the consultation calls not to be reviewed (when they pertain to other services, like video editing for example), otherwise it's just a bad idea to sell them.
-
We also got that, same exact score in the consultation gig. "effective communication - room for growth". Not negative, I suppose, but yeah. "Room for growth"? Where? That's a weird "gig" though, as it's not set up the same way as the others.
-
Sure, but that's a totally different topic, and has nothing to do with the system looking at 2 years back or not. The same applies if it looked back 1 year, or 30 days, or whatever.
-
But what would you prefer? That it counted 9 years? That it counted 1 year? 60 days? Why? A line has to be drawn somewhere.
-
If it's 30 days, people will complain their historical performance isn't taken into account - if I did good work for 10 years, shouldn't that count? If it's all time, people will complain that the system never forgets, that one mistake will haunt you forever, etc. Not to mention long time sellers would be at a massive advantage. There's no perfect solution for this. In any case, 1 cancelation in 2 years isn't bad, and you also have all the successful orders you sold in those two years to compensate. Right? All in all, I think 2 years is a pretty sensible middle ground.
-
Not seeing that. I have plenty of gigs with very few orders - like, less than 10 orders in 2 years, and they all have 10 success score.
-
Nothing that couldn't before. That's a pointless feature, given that sellers could have always messaged past buyers anyway. Makes no difference.
-
Where's the proof? One person happens to match up with a simple average. That means nothing. That's not what "prove" means. However, one person not matching up, actually proves that it's not a simple average. And we have those cases, so...
-
I have some showing 2, and some showing 3. The only showing 4 is the consultation gig, which is not a standard gig - it has no gig page, etc. I think it's an exception.
