  1. Exactly what I mentioned when I responded to your post earlier. I didn't even ask them how to solve this issue, but it's SO CLEAR that this is what they're trying to do. GO FIND CLIENTS AND BRING THEM HERE. Haha, HOW IRONIC!!! Sorry, why should I bring clients here when I can simply work with them DIRECTLY without any extra fees or weeks to get paid?
  2. I'm in the same situation. I'm sorry, but I don't think it will ever change unless you bring clients outside of the platform to boost your score to 5 or above. No one knows how much time that will take. Alternatively, you can continue working with your clients and indirectly encourage them to give you 5 stars. My advice is to explore other avenues to increase your income and not rely on fiverr entirely. If you don't take action now, it will affect you in the coming months. I encourage everyone to have multiple channels for their work. Don't rely on one client, one platform, or even one source of income if you choose to be a freelancer. Wish you all the best of luck
  3. Well, it's quite amusing! Fiverr seems adamant on enhancing its platform at the expense of its sellers. Over the past three years, Fiverr has been my sole source of income; virtually all my clients originated from this platform. However, there came a sudden drought—no orders, no messages, absolutely nothing—for a couple of months. It compelled me to take action, pushing me out of my comfort zone to expand my business elsewhere. I had foreseen this inevitable shift that would disrupt the status quo and cause distress to sellers, and I wasn't inclined to wait for it. Thus, I embarked on establishing connections beyond Fiverr, focusing on clients from various platforms and nurturing strong relationships with them. Presently, I'm scarcely reliant on Fiverr for even 5% of my income, as it no longer holds the same value. Despite being a level 2 seller with impeccable performance ratings across the board, the new system seems to deem me as underperforming. Interestingly, this discrepancy is attributed to undisclosed reviews. But if that were truly the case, why do I continue to retain longstanding clients spanning several years? Consequently, when Fiverr decides to base its judgment on private reviews, my account is rendered invisible. Yet, what about the remaining 95% of my clients with whom I've been collaborating outside this platform? Some of them I've been working with for over three years, and others for five years. While I comprehend their efforts to reduce platform competition and elevate quality, it's imperative to acknowledge that without sellers, there would be no buyers. Quite ironic, isn't it? Want to hear something funny? That I'm still eligible to promote my gigs, yet they've been inexplicably removed from the marketplace. Now, how does one recover from such a situation? Is Fiverr implying that I should redirect my hard-earned clients, whom I've cultivated relationships with outside the platform, to utilize their money here? I firmly believe in one principle and one principle only: success in business stems from diligent self-improvement and independence from any single platform. Fiverr merely serves as a conduit for potential clients, a function that can be replicated elsewhere online. And let's not overlook the power of connections.
