  1. I really enjoyed the two clubs I was in. They were supportive and informative, and they helped bring some people back to the forum, like Mr. Arty, so I'm sorry to see them go. And I'll be sorry to see you go, too, Imagination, if that's what you do decide to do. Thanks for everything you've done for the clubs, and for the forum in general.
  2. Thank you! Same to you and everyone else who's celebrating it. 🎄
  3. Poor @mateusbl's life has been much more stressful since that new feature was introduced. 😕
  4. You get to read about Zeus' adventures with food You get to enjoy Vibronx's occasional transformation into Trollbronx You get to master a new hybrid language that involves calling everyone bro or dear You get to socialise with other freelancers (freelancing can sometimes be quite lonely) You get to find out about new updates fairly quickly You get to learn from successful sellers, all of whom share advice for free
  5. Are you too old for Fiverr? No way! There are lots of young people on Fiverr, true, but there are many successful older people, too. @vickiespencer, for example, is a retired English teacher. Her vast experience is one of her unique selling points.
  6. Hi Nige, welcome to the forum. That's a good idea! Make sure you read through the Terms of Service, too, if you haven't already. A number of things that are quite common in today's world (like sharing social media details) can get you in trouble on Fiverr.
  7. That's sad to hear. AI is already affecting many of us. I know some people in the writing category have said their orders are down this year, probably because of it. I think there are still some interesting legal battles to be had regarding copyright issues. Perhaps one or two of those will eventually help creatives.
  8. It's normal to receive these messages, but unfortunately, they're almost always spam. Report them.
  9. We'd raised most of the money, but we had to pay for English lessons for thousands of Fiverr sellers who were lying about their English skills. None of them turned up to class, but the teacher still needed to be paid. So, there's about enough left for a bag of chips, but we can't quite stretch to an extra 10p for ketchup.
  10. For around five years, @mariashtelle1 has been saying she wants a penthouse in London or Singapore. She doesn't have one yet, so I don't think wanting is an effective strategy. Try a different one. Try optimising your gigs instead. You can start by bulking out your gig descriptions. Two lines isn't adequate. Tell buyers more about your skills, your mindset, your experience, your achievements, and why they should choose you over somebody else.
  11. You didn't need to post twice. You're already a grand master so have ultra mega giga rank. 😉 It's nice to see you back. 🙂
  12. General Fiverr wishes: I hope my friends continue to make sales. I hope The Wordsmiths Club on Fiverr continues to grow. I hope I can find out what @uk1000 does with all their RAM (although maybe that's top secret, in which case, sorry for being nosy 😅). I hope that @mariashtelle1 returns to the forum. Education-wise: I'd like to see a constant drip of content from Fiverr, aimed at newer forum users, that attempts to get them to develop a business mindset. Unfortunately, a large number of people on the forum treat their business more like a Playstation game than a business, trying to succeed by finding the correct combination of useless hacks rather than by meeting needs and communicating that to potential customers.
  13. Hi Claire_go, welcome to the forum. It's a friendly place, so I hope you enjoy your time here.
  14. You've had orders recently, so perhaps one of them ended in a bad private review. Or your slump could be down to Christmas approaching. Understanding which isn't easy at the moment. Make sure you've followed all of the tips in the help center. Optimise your gigs while you have some free time. Remember, AI is also a factor now, so that could be leading to a reduction in orders. Overall, though, you seem to be doing ok. Not many sellers on this forum are lucky enough to have delivered an order an hour ago.
  15. Hi again, newbie. Some magical advice for you: You'll have to dive headfirst into the world of Briefs instead, because that feature replaced Buyer Requests a while ago. No enchanting tips or stories to share about it, unfortunately, because I haven't used it yet, but you can use the search feature to read interesting tales by folks who have.
  16. Welcome to the forum, Natasha. Good luck with your gigs and your modelling.
  17. I'm sorry to hear you experienced such brutality on Fiverr. Nobody deserves to be subject to such brutal acts while going about their daily business. I know it isn't quite the result you were hoping for, but if this seller was warned, they could suffer financially as a result of that. Warnings can sometimes result in loss of levels or a decrease in gig ranking.
  18. The average forum user trying to find the part about staying online.
  19. Have you contacted support about this? I know it's not a huge amount of money, but it'd be nice if you could get it back.
  20. My business > gigs > create a new gig
  21. 4/5 what ago? If it was 4-5 hours ago, your stats won't have updated yet.
  22. Your last review says your service is "a total rip-off" and a waste of money. I think that's harming your business far more than bad luck.
  23. Familiarise yourself with the terms of service. Legitimate buyers won't ask you to break the rules (or will understand why you can't do something once you've explained it's against the rules). At the moment, your only gig is for translations, so you don't need to do this.
