How about before joining a new platform, you take a few hours to read some of their TOS. Opening more than 1 account is a major violation on Fiverr. Even if you had taken just a few minutes to search YouTube for a short video on the major "Do's and Don'ts" on Fiverr, you would have been saved from all these stress. Better luck next time mate

I'm curious, do you get the same type of feeling reading from the phone like you do when you read from paper back?

The joy of being young with a wild imagination 😄 I have read this novel so much its crazy. P.s sorry I don't have an image of the paper back book but this will do

Honestly, this is real life and not a classroom where you can just erase your mistakes and start over. Fiverr or no Fiverr, you are a Business/Entrepreneur (everyone makes mistakes, everyone goes through ups and downs). And while you might not feel good seeing those lower reviews, in the long run it won't matter especially if you are as good as you claim. Suck it up, you got this 💪

If the constant barrage of topics like "I have no orders" or "Fiverr is not matching me with buyers" is anything to go by, then I believe Fiverr might have already upgraded it's algorithm to try and weed out this poor services. Think about it, would you rather spend millions creating and marketing a new platform or would you find a way to starve low quality sellers and push them off the platform willingly? Sooner or latter the topics will become "Fiverr doesn't work any more" and then begins the exodus.

@newsmike really out did himself this time. A very important but touchy subject I must say. Its like opening a can of worms

Yeah, but are you ready to deal with the issues of these $5 buyers that would remain. And I can tell you, most of them are sassy, rude, and very demanding 😂

You keep on saying "business image" like that would pay the bills. Yes, Fiverr as been trying to bring in industry authorities but where are they making their money from right now? You forget this platform is competing with industry behemoth like Upwork and the rest! You don't just cut off the base that as worked for you so far because of image. Fiverr Business/Fiverr Pro is an example of their steps to innovation but they can only make those moves off the back of the so called "charity $5 gigs" you keep mentioning.

This is so true. Well there goes our $5 buyer pool

This is an eye opener. I believe most sellers have been waiting for or expecting the briefs to act in a similar way as the buyer request did, where you get multiple matches a day/week and you can send bulk offers.

I believe the saying is "evolve or die" I can't even imagine what 2030 would look like with all these massive advancement in technology It might be a business move to have users start signing up for a paid version. What do you think?

The only reason you would want to edit your gig should be to make improvements. So naturally you should actually see your gig ranking increase and not the other way round. It might take a few days to pick up, but that should be the trend. On the other hand, if you see your gig de-rank and stay de-ranked, then maybe the "improvements" you made are not favoring you or your niche and you need to re-strategize.

I totally agree with you @vibronx its a love and hate relationship for us creatives

hahaha.. with this Elon neuralink stuff, mind reading might just be possible

Thanks for this @yannisenglish every reply just keeps increasing my confidence! Maybe we do have a fighting chance against the rise of the Ai 😁
