I think it's not such a big problem, and every seller faces it sometimes - gig ranking is a metric that changes all the time, and that's normal. For example, when you go on vacation and temporarily deactivate your account, the metrics will be zero and then increase again. Same here - it's just a matter of time

Sorry for the off-topic comment, but why do you use that weird font in every topic and every post? It's extremely uncomfortable to read

It happens sometimes - CS Team receives probably thousands of requests daily, and sometimes we have to send requests twice, sometimes we have to wait several days - this is normal. The main thing is to clearly describe your problem with the location, and ask a question clearly and briefly

Honestly, I don't think that average selling price can affect impressions and clicks - when did you notice that? If it was in December, it's a natural process - Christmas, New Year - holiday season, everyone is on vacation

When you get any messages containing offers about Email, Telegram, Paypal, anything else - report them right away

Well, that's not really true - staying online will not help you in any way

It's interesting - I believe it's much better to ask CS team, because it's not clear, will they consider stories as s****l exploitation or not

I'm sure it's just a scam. And anyway - don't violate the ToS, don't risk your account for one-time income

You should report them - they violate Fiverr ToS, most likely it's just a scam, so report and block them

But you pay tax on any income, including tips. Why does it bother you that Fiverr takes its portion of the income as well? After all, it's a business - that's what they exist for. And tips - it's income, too

Haha 😆 I didn't think about it - that's exactly what I am going to do next time 🤣

Thank you! I am reading all the posts right now, and still feel so uncomfortable in such situations. Probably it's just something in my head that makes me feel so bad saying "No"

Capybara. Capybara makes me smile ))

Question No.1 Do you want to keep working? Or you will be unavailable? If you will be unavailable - I'm judging by my own experience. Nothing bad will happen. Yes, obviously while you are unavailable, your impressions will drop - they have to drop, because Fiverr doesn't show your profile, your gigs, since you are not working. BUT when you will be back to work, everything will be fixed in just 1-2 days.

Where do you read it? Is it some article, or social media post?

I don't know if you guys have ever had to deal with buyers like that. I've had one of my regular buyers do this lately. I say a price and a deadline. For example, "the total price is $50", and he says, "Make it $40 and send the offer." That is, he doesn't even ask if I agree to do a discount . How do you deal with something like this? I'm a bit confused, because I DO NOT want to make a discount 😁, and I have to repeat the same price again. And I don't want to be rude, but seriously, what should I say?

Yes - you can open 2 different accounts if the services offered are different. After all, 2 different people, let's say family members, or friends, can use one computer or the same wifi

Stay online 30 hours a day, lose your health, and get nothing - that's what staying online can give you. Create a portfolio instead. Use your time wisely Again... Stay online for what? It will never help you! Please, stop giving wrong advices. It hasn't helped anyone yet.

It's always fun - I traveled a lot before the pandemic. BUT you should remember, that it's a lifestyle, not a vacation - you have to do your job, and it takes a lot of time. So you need to be very organized. It requires self-discipline. It was my number 1 problem. At the same time - you can visit a new country every week (depending on where you are), meet new people, and find freelancers communities, and workshops - it's really fun. At the same time I was always concerned about safety of my laptop, of my phone, of my data, I tried to find "safe" connection - it's not safe to use public wifi, so it was another problem for me

All kinds of courses, training, dance groups, workshops, even cooking classes - it's a great opportunity to make new friends. In fact, since the pandemic began, the lack of communication has become a problem for so many people of all ages. And the way the world works today, it's getting harder and harder to go out in public, and it's easier to just sit at home.

There is no right answer - it's different for everyone. What you are good at, what you like, and what brings you a good income is the best job

Couldn't agree more! According to my experience, those who ask for discounts, usually send the orders for the revision again and again, ask for extra services for free and so on - it's better to say no, because otherwise, you will lose your time and get nothing in return

What about returning buyers? Portfolio? You can even try to promote your gigs on different platforms. I know, the competition is very tough nowadays. There are more and more sellers, new accounts are created every day, and it's really hard to get orders for newbies. But don't give up - if you've already had successful sales, have a couple of reviews, then you have a good chance of succeeding again

What do you mean by that? This is some nonsense.
