Wopwop.

Just upload my mind into a ML model and let it do my work for me. And have all the fun for me as well. Hell, at that point just let it be me and be done with it. Humans are deprecated. We won't simply be watched over - we will be the machines of ever loving grace.

What does that multion AI do exactly?

Just got a 5 star review on an order where the client didn't pick any checkboxes. I don't understand this system, at all.

Never do that. Don't use a feature just because it exists, that doesn't mean it is any good. Don't use milestones - they don't make the buyer commit to the entire thing, and it increases the window to review from 3 days to 8, for some unexplainable reason. Use separate orders for each milestone instead. Don't use coupons - you can just send them a custom offer for the value you want, it makes no difference. Why are coupons even capped, when you can sell whatever you want at the price you want anyway, makes no sense. Use custom offers with a discount instead. Don't use out of office - people have been complaining for a long time that it messes your positioning within the search results. Turn on request to order, up the prices, or up the delivery times instead. Don't use subscriptions - they are utterly useless. You're giving a discount for what, exactly? The buyer can stop at any time. It's not guaranteeing ongoing work in any way. May as well sell individual orders. You gain zero by having subscriptions. There is nothing to use instead, Fiverr simply doesn't work for retainer contracts - and it really should, it's a major weakness of the platform. I've never turned on out of office on my account, and never will. There's no reason for it. If I want to take a vacation, just increase the prices and the delivery time to an absurd value. I don't trust the out of office mode to not affect my account.

Interesting. Points in common in the accounts: Uk account (almost surely VPN) 2 names username (name & surname) Created this month.

The target is clearly first time sellers, due to the way this is constructed. No idea why then sent me this, as we obviously would never fall for that. But for someone with no sales, that doesn't know how the platform works... I can see this working.

@Kesha@Lena This user should be banned asap - and keep an eye open for this new method of using a fake website that includes fiverr in the url, as I suspect this will keep increasing.

Just go this. Won't even bother blacking out user info, as this is clearly a targeted scam to steal money from people. Be careful, they go to the extent of making a fake fiverr website to trick new users into thinking an order was paid for an putting in their credit card information to "receive the payment".

You're a freelancer, an independent worker. You don't need an office. You don't need a boss, or "seniors". The idea is to be independent. Get away from all that asap.

Ahahah, 0.7. That's literally impossible, since the system only allows ratings from 1-5. No quality control whatsoever. As for the "this is a bug, don't worry", that does very little when that bug affects the business directly. It can mean less sales, and therefore less earnings. Doesn't matter if it's a mistake, it shouldn't happen.

Ah, yes. Some reasons. Lol what

If you have the feature, it should show up on your profile page.

That's one of the greatest usernames I've seen here in a long time.

Impressive.

I ask them directly about that contradiction. They chose to answer a bunch of softballs and ignored my direct question. Of course.

@Kesha do you realize what this actually will do? If consistently high value for money means I should raise my prices, that means I should aim to not have consistently high value for money, but average. In other words, I should steadily raise my prices until my value for money is average, as in, fair. Which yes, makes sense - that's what it should be. The problem is that means I'll get reviews of 4 stars, or even lower, since value for money counts for the final rating. That means I'll lose my level, since I need to maintain a 4.7 average, and Fiverr states that dropping levels can affect gig positioning. If I get 3 stars on "value for money", the review will be lower than 4.7 If we could see our "value for money" and have that not affect our rating, or if the threshold to keep levels was lower, then yes, that would make sense. As things stand, you can't win with the system. You can't raise prices because you get punished for doing so. Please tell me how you think this works. How can I raise my prices if my value for money is high without dropping my rating average?

Btw, Fiverr, please tell me this - why is it that you have a fair, balanced review system for CS, and not for sellers? Where's the "exceptional" checkbox? If the "exceptional" is such a great idea, shouldn't you use that across all forms?

Get ready for the value for money to drop!

Conga rats shows itself to be prophetic, after all. This is the end goal - a rat race, all the rats forming a conga line.

I remember a time when to be a successful professional you had to be competent, and do what you promised the client you would do, on time and on budget. Do a good job, and that is enough. Now, it's not. You need to be extraordinary, all the time. Above and beyond (while not being compensated above and beyond). This is a recipe for failure and burnout. Nobody can be amazing all the time, and nobody should be punished for that.

From Fiverr's own materials: They say themselves that "consistently high value for money means opportunities to raise gig prices". This would naturally drop it - so the goal seems to be to have average "value for money reviews". They are clearly saying "if your value for money is always high, raise your prices until it isn't". However, they've raised the cut off for levels again, to 4.7 for top rated. How can both these things make sense at the same time, since having a consistent 3/4 stars on value for money means you can't keep the 4.7 necessary review average to be at the top level? This is contradictory.

Oh, how I wish my "money" wasn't countable. Alas, it surely is. I can then say, with confidence, that I have "fewer moneys".

I know, it wasn't an assumption. But please stop using those checkers, they are worthless. False positives are out of control, and you don't need them. You can tell if it's chat gpt just by reading it. Using unreliable "chat gpt checkers" does more harm than good.

I took a look at your gig. Couple things: 1) Your title/gig is not appealing for the vast majority of buyers. It's extremely niche. Very few people looking for video art on Fiverr, that's commercially not viable. This means that even when buyers see your gig, they won't click on it because it's not what they want. 2) Your account is from 2019 and you have 1 review. That's not strong performance, and most buyers will prefer buying from either a new account, or an account with more sales (specially given your pricing). 3) You are only using two tags on the gig - and two weak tags in terms of volume, cinema and video art. That doesn't help in terms of getting impressions. 400 impressions can lead to clicks if you have great thumbnail, lots of reviews, a product that is in demand, and a competitive price. You have none of that - so you will need way more impressions, because your clickthrough will be very low. 4) Your copy is bad. That doesn't matter in terms of clicks, but can help convert the few clicks you have into orders. Your copy isn't helping convert, it's clearly chatgpt. 5) Finally, your video (which is the essential factor to get clients given what you're selling) is too out there. Sure, it's a style, and I won't comment on "quality", as that is subjective. But the fact is that it's too odd for what the majority of people are looking for. Think about your buyer - who is he, and why is he looking to buy something like your gig video? Most people who are into video art are artists themselves, so they would be interested in making their own material, not buying it. It's not something that sells, plain and simple. Also, some of the sequences in your gig video are a actually a bit too shocking, too risky, you should play it safer given the platform you're selling on.
