  1. (Yes, I know it’s an old post) I’m kinda on the same boat as alvl_dev (except for the rating part). My initial thought was getting experience with recieving orders from the platform without needing any money involved, but now I see I misinformed myself with that one. Kind of a shame I can’t get to do it for free, I really wanted to improve my skills without needing to be payed for it, as I don’t think my work is worth the money as of now tbh.

    If you don’t think your work is worth the money people would be paying for it, you might consider taking a Fiverr Learn course or two (if you have the money and something is offered that applies to you) and/or not setting up a gig until you’re confident you can deliver quality. Best wishes!

  2. None of these really apply to me. I’m not into commercial fiction. I like literary fiction as well as domestic fiction and psychological fiction. Poetry is pretty nice, and I love hybrid text and stream of consciousness. I’m in love with writing as an aesthetic over substance.

  3. Here is one thing note able as many seller just watch youtube to pass the skill test and manipulate the test system.Also the most of buyers don’t see test score and they just focus on feedbacks.So it’s better to remove test system :roll_eyes:

    Any seller too stupid to pass the test is too stupid to cheat properly. Fiverr doesn’t even let one leave the testing window.

  4. I believe the skills tests should say. If someone is going to claim to be a certain level speaker of a language, they should be able to back it up. Back when I had a Chinese translation gig, I revealed my 10/10 on all three of the English to Chinese tests. It gave me credibility so that buyers didn’t have to vet me as thoroughly to work on their manuscripts. The same goes for any other skill/knowledge that can be tested.

  5. Yeah I realized it only when I started to set my price! It dawned on me that I could literally promote my fiverr page to those that want to comission art from me, and they could pay to have their drawing done through the site lol. If they ever wanted another piece from me in the future, they could head back over to the page and simply fill out the request there without having to ask how much I charge. 🙂

    You’d still have to deal with the 20% commission, though…

  6. Y’all need to realize that making a Fiverr account and creating some gigs doesn’t mean you’ll be an instant success and Top Rated Seller making a 6 figure salary within the first month. The seller pool in almost all the fields is heavily saturated with sellers. You’re not special.

    Knowing this, don’t ask inane questions like “how to get my first order” or “how to get level one in a month” or anything that has to do with “how to” get instant success. Success on this site is not guaranteed. There are tips that can heighten your chances of getting buyers, but nothing is surefire. Also know that all of these tips have already been exhausted and posted in the Tips section, and there’s no need to ask questions the answer to is on the Fiverr site or the Forum.

    Some things you could do are

    • Familiarize yourself with the Fiverr site (TOS, Seller Support Center, etc.)
    • Take a Learn course or two if you can afford it
    • Invest in yourself and your business
    • Read before you write.
    • Be patient
    • Read over some of the top forum posts on success if you’re looking for some free professional development.

    You shouldn’t
