  1. As for how I'm feeling... Well... (In a rushed, venting voice/tone:)

    I very nearly quit my day-job last Tues, because my boss reprimanded me rather harshly because I forgot the instructions he gave concerning one of our A/R that was giving us trouble. The weekend just before that some of my family visited, one of whom I hadn't seen since before the 2020 lockdown and the other only once since then and only for a very quick two days, and while the visit went great, we ended up at our decided point of interest for their trip right before it closed, so didn't get to see it because they closed the gate early, and I was the one to do most of the many hours of driving over the span of three days. And there was the week before the visit, which was stressful due to preparing for the sudden visit, because I'd gotten less than a week's notice that they were coming.

    So, how am I? Stressed. Recovering. 

    As for summer plans, none yet. Though next week (still spring, so doesn't count) thinking of going to the NC Pickle Festival, weather pending.

    how can i change this is it in a setting

    Report and block. It's not a setting, but by reporting it, Fiverr can better identify these types of scams and prevent them from reaching Sellers in the first place. dealing with spam and scams is a part of being in business, and as a freelancer it's a part of your job to identify and deal with them. 

    (Also, please read the rules. Both the Fiverr ToS and the forum rules.)

    there should be another post concerning AI-generated posts and how they should be avoided

    It's already listed in the forum rules that they count as plagiarism, so if you see forum posts that are AI generated without the source cited, absolutely feel free to report them.

    What are some of the strangest or most "pointless" topics you’ve become an "expert" in through your work?

    I'm not sure this counts, because it's more 'outdated' than 'pointless', but I use to work in a film-processing lab. 35mm hasn't quite gone extinct, but all my knowledge of that industry is pretty much pointless now except in historical and trivia context. I suppose it isn't completely useless, should someone bring me beta work set in the time-period before digital cameras, but the odds of that are rather slim.

  5. Have you followed none of the links that have been provided to you? The very first one took you directly to the Fiverr Help Center. All you had to do was type 'withdraw' into that search bar, and you would have gotten this:

    Not listening to people (especially when you specifically ask for it) does not reflect well on you as a potential Seller, and in fact dives many people away.

    Is there anything that you can suggest me to do or should I just give up?

    I glanced at your profile, and I have some guesses as to why you might not have been approved. Firstly, though, did you actually read the ToS when you joined?

    Now I want to hear your stories. 

    Most of them come from my day job, so I'd rather not share those in a public forum. Or, they're so convoluted that it would take me hours to explain in typing, in part because some of them I'm still not sure how they happened. Or, the drama is still going on. (I just tried to type out one example, and I'm giving up. I really don't have the time today. I might try again later, if I can figure out how to explain some of the more baffling aspects.) 

    I can think of one that is fairly short and simple to explain, though. A very young coworker (fresh out of high school) who worked with us for about two months was constantly making references to memes and shows that most us had never seen. Without the context, they fell rather flat, and he'd often have to explain, but we'd still not 'get it'. Like jumping to the punchline of a joke without the leadup. Very minor, but a perfect example of assumptions that the listener knows what you're talking about. 

    One that is more related to Fiverr, as an example of 'need more info', is this thread I participated in two years ago, back when Buyer's Requests were still a thing (forewarned: it's a fairly long read).

    Also, I just watched this yesterday, and the first 1:45 of the video is a perfect example of cultural assumptions and miscommunication:

    People are confusing. Communication takes work. And communication skills need training, just like any other skill.

    How can I make money this forum?

    You can't, not directly. Marketing and self-promotion is not permitted here. (see Forum Rules)

    What you can do is READ, and apply what you read. There's plenty of advice available to help new Fiverr Sellers. That advice can indirectly help you earn by helping you improve your gig so that the Gig can make sales.

    can't make a good one with my mobile. It is not possible to make videos without a good camera.

    Yes, it is possible, unless your phone is really old. That said, no one can help you with improving your camera skills unless we see a sample of what you've already tried.

    For example, if you are trying to record under florescent lighting, the camera may not be able to capture decent footage due to exposure adjustment. Alternatively, if you're having trouble with the microphone, and can't get good sound quality, you could try recording with a second source that's closer to your mouth and then sync the audio to the video taken from the phone.

  10. Converting (especially on a project-by-project basis) is a process, not a one-size-fits-all. So, my top advice comes in two parts:

    1) Know yourself. What you WILL do, what you WON'T do, and the price at which you will do your thing.

    If a potential Buyer approach me, I first make sure that they're actually in the right place (no point trying to convert someone who wants tacos when they walked into a pizza place), that I can fulfil what they're looking for (no, we cannot put pickles on your pizza, we don't stock those), that they have the budget (no, the pizza isn't free), that I'm okay with what they're looking for (no, we WILL NOT put harmful stuff on the pizza, not even as a joke), and that I can work with the Buyer (no shirt, no shoes, no service). If the project seems like a good fit, well, half the process is already done.

    2) Know your customers. Who and where they ARE, and who and where they are NOT.

    If I'm looking for Buyers out in the wild, I first understand my buyer persona, my target market, because it's (again) pointless to try to convert someone who has zero interest in what I offer. I recently saw the (particularly clever) "Clustomers" marketing campaign put out by Intuit Mailchimp that sums it up rather nicely.

    Quick question for forum active people, did any thread in the past reach this number of pages?

    Yes, they used to cut them off at 250, I think. 🤔 Maybe @imagination7413 remembers. 

    (Pulling your posts to this thread, since it's rather off-topic for that one.)

    I think so? Before the migration from Discorse to Invision, it was almost mandatory to lock 'mega threads' due to the lag, since the former loaded ALL posts in the thread into one webpage. Invision at least divides posts into 25 per page.

    Just for fun, I sorted the forums by "Most Replies", and this came up:
