Are there Fiber sellers? Where?

If this man knows where they are, I would be interested because I was supposed to get fiber in my village 2 years ago and nothing is done already and I am struggling with 900KB/s internet connexion, thanks fiverr for this, lol.

[Auto reply function!]

Personally I won't use this feature, I like to answer to someone follwing what the person wrote as first message to not to sound like a bot with a default reply.

[Is it too hard for a new seller to get their first order?]

If you have poor skills and knowledge in your niche, yes it will be hard.
If you know your job, what you're doing, learn how to setup gigs etc, then no.

[Can someone check if my gig is alright?]

Can you tell me why so? @psykkopatte

Unlimited revisions is a trap, a buyer can decide to make you work forever, add extra work all the time because it's unlimited and take you as hostage and if you refuse he can decide to cancel everything or accept delivery in putting a negative review.

Cheap gigs like yours are the perfect target for this. 

[FREE DEMO... YAY OR NAY?]

I do not provide free samples, my portfolio is enough to justify my expérience.
I have made a free sample only once because the person was famous and wanted to make sure I could make certain things in his video editing, so I wouldn't refuse that 🤷‍♂️

[Can someone check if my gig is alright?]

It looks good overall
However: "unlimited revision" is a critical mistake 

[Are you in the Christmas mood yet?]

No, I don't like christmas atmosphere which is related to winter, cold, grey sky, night earlier, pref summer 🤷‍♂️

Look at this brief i got. I cant say its the peak of the industry. Buyers requests may be corrupted. But briefs are no different. We just dont see it anymore. I might be even got thrown back for rejecting this meaningless thing. And please do check twice as this brief was conducted by a "fiverr business" account

I must say this is high level creativity lol

[Why some buyer do not leave reviews or nor respond after delivery?]

Probably casual fiverr users who want to do something else fast, t's like a mail we receive after calling internet hotline for maintenance if we were satisfied with the person we got in call 🤷‍♂️

[What is the point of using the Milestones feature?]

It's very useful for 3D jobs for big projects I must say, there are projects that take weeks to make, being paid for each tasks is important because if client decides to leave, not to reply anymore etc, this would be a huge waste of time and money.

[Fiverr wanting to much personal information]

I mean, nothing is private anymore in this world, everyone is beeing watched, if owners want to know at which moment we go toilets they can, phone, facebook, youtube, instagram, fiverr or whatever they already own everything about us 🤷‍♂️

It's because they have the confidence to charge higher prices, and that brings a better kind of customer.

If buyers are willing to pay better prices, why not offer better prices?

Have you considered side-stepping your niche to align more with higher priced buyers? I get the impression YouTube and Twitch designs are mainly low transaction values as the buyers are constrained by budget a lot of the time. I could be wrong as I really don't understand that niche, but do think companies wanting  similar work in a different field will value your skills and time more.

Twitch and youtube are really the worst targets indeed, this is full of persons who aren't very serious and some of them want 3 videos per week and it would be a huge investment especially when those persons aren't popular or famous and that this is just for saving their gameplay and good moments, thing that I can understand totally.
So yes, I should have targeted business, enterprise, music video clip etc but now i'm too busy with my other studies and will start to make 3D modeling job.

During the pandemic I had a job for some of it, but no day to day work, so I could do consultancy for very a low price and build a good profile. It wasn't about the money, I just enjoyed doing it and it killed some time. Then when I was level 2 I was able to put my prices up to a semi-respectable level. Since then it's grown further. My view is that right now your goal shouldn't be making money, but building a great profile. You can then increase your prices.

There are decent clients / multi-million (and even billion) dollar companies using Fiverr with big budgets. I really do think, with the right skills, experience and gigs you can make more here than a full time job. It's not certain, nothing is, but it is possible.

I see you work in video, and i know some very successful video sellers here, there's no reason you couldn't be as successful or more so than them!

It was nice for experience when I did my first studies in video production and have a small job aside, I have worked here and outside of fiverr for one famous person, some popular people and average people, I have reached lvl 2 (i just lost it by canceling an order), but when I look at the finality, I have made so much works for cheap and got exploited, I have some orders but I have 0 motivation to make them because I know it won't bring anything, because if I don't do this, all the buyers who message me daily just vanish because it's expensive and don't want to pay.
I have no idea how the others working in my niche can put such high prices and get customers, maybe I don't have a good strategy, maybe I have to self question, probably, I've been saerching for what to do but I don't find, so I see no other solution than finishing my other studies to totally have 4 years studies in video/audio production, find a real employer who will bother with customers, just give me the job without bothering of anything, get my wage per hours and voilà.
Happy ending

It looks like you're doing pretty good, why wouldn't you recommend it? It is your choice of course, but I'm just curious!

 

Maybe is it probably my niche, but I am just tired of buyers who want everything for cheap and get away when I announce a price, no one wants to spend money because they think fiverr is a place where a lot of people work for cheap and accept anything.
80% of my customers are from america, I am from France, they earn way more money than I can earn in this country, but they find too expensive that I work around 10/15€ per hours then those same people are paid even more in their country but they don't want to pay someone same thing for hours of work....
And this, is a big problem, I had to refuse so much things because it's under paid for the amount of hours, my gigs have a lot of impressions and I bet that if everything would be cheap I would have more customers.
This is why I cant wait to finish my studies in 3D creation, find a real employer and close my fiverr account.

My friends think/thought the same.

They thought it was a bit of a joke when I started around 2 years ago. It kind of was to be honest, but it was the pandemic.

They don't think the same now. They wonder why they're in their corporate jobs doing 60-80 hour weeks.

I think more will come to Fiverr as the economy melts down.

Same, it was all about the pandemic when the world was stuck, but I'm very sceptic about this platform and will leave when I'll find a real job

[Buyer Request or Brief which one is Best ?]

Brief is way better, buyer request was just the fiverr's rubbish 

[A friend joined Fiverr :)]

I wouldn't recommend fiverr for a friend

[Why Don't I get any buyer brief yet?]

There is one thing that bothers me: the fact that you put on your gig thumbnail someone that is not you and is completly different from your profile picture, I don't know, maybe it is legit but if I was a buyer i would find it disturbing

[Allow Fiverr Username Change]

No, I must say I would have loved to change mine too

Quote of the day.

Anyway OP, I get the feeling when you say "secret," you meant something like is there a secret to get orders faster/constantly/always appear on the first page?
Answer is no, no and no.

Of course there is none xD

[Fiverr Secrets]

Secrets are made to not to be told 🤷‍♂️

It depends on what you sell and how much you earn. It also depends on where you live. 

I sell video editing and 3D services, I barely have buyers since pandemic ended, I live in france so I have to set prices depending on the average in my country, my prices aren't very high for what I should have been paid if I had a job here, and yet, people find it expensive and don't want to spend money, unless coming from eastern or poor countries, I doubt it is possible to have a decent wage here.

[Leaving Fiverr]

Fiverr is just for extra money, it's far to be something serious as main business...

[New system in fiverr how can I get order fast?]

By removing the word "fast", it would be a good start since it takes time

[Thoughts on the new Dashboard Bar]

It looks better and more organised.
