I hope everyone is adapting to the adjustments brought on by the recent Fiverr level system update. With the implementation of this new system, many of us have observed substantial changes in how our gigs are evaluated, particularly with order cancellations, communication assessments, and the definition and handling of "conflict of orders." As someone who works to maintain high performance and clear communication with clients, these developments cause some concern. The way cancellations, even those beyond our control, affect our profiles and the assessment of our communication skills appears to have changed. Furthermore, the frequent practice of revisions and extended time requests, which are necessary for delivering excellent work, looks to be viewed in an entirely different way. Furthermore, there appears to be a difference in how different gigs are judged overall, particularly in terms of communication, order issues, and delivery times. This mismatch raises doubts about the criteria utilized and the system's transparency. I believe we as a community must address these developments and share our perspectives. Your feedback is not only useful in evaluating the overall impact of these changes, but it is also important in the representation of a fair and transparent system that appropriately acknowledges and rewards our efforts. Let's utilize this thread to discuss our ideas, experiences, and any tips for navigating the new system.

That is good that Fiverr acknowledged the cancellation issue, however, it was not the best strategy by Fiverr. They should have tested this before implementing it throughout the entire platform. Put yourself in the shoes of those affected by this. The amount of emotional stress and discomfort that people are experiencing is tremendous. Seeing your friends stressed out when they have done nothing is not an ideal place to be.

Completely agreed. My friend is also experiencing the same problem, despite the fact that everything was up to the mark before the update. This is utterly ridiculous. The amount of mental discomfort this update caused sellers is indescribable.

Greetings Fellow Developers, I hope everyone is doing well. I am exploring the possibility of expanding my services through outsourcing or even potentially running an agency. The idea of handing over a project, especially one with unique solutions or USPs built after a lot of hard work, is rather scary. Trusting another person or entity with files that are an essential component of our unique selling proposition opens Pandora's box of uncertainty and anxieties. Key Concerns: Trust and Reliability: How do you place confidence in another individual when transferring projects encapsulating your distinctive solutions? Protection of Intellectual Property: How do you protect your intellectual property? Process Automation: For someone intending to streamline their operations through automation, how do you ensure the security and efficiency of the processes? I am seeking insights, experiences, and advice from anyone who has delved into outsourcing or operates an agency. How do you reduce the risks associated with sharing your unique developments and maintain the integrity of your work while outsourcing? Your shared experiences and guidance will not only enlighten me but also assist many others who are treading the same path. Looking forward to a productive and enlightening discussion, and appreciating in advance for your valuable inputs!

Welcome to the Fiverr community💓

There are no secrets to success, but here are a few recommendations that, if followed, will result in great results and lead to success. If you think setting up a Fiverr gig is straightforward, but if you’re aiming for success, there's more to it. Think of your gig as a shop in a shopping mall. To attract customers, your shop has to not only stand out but also showcase unique offerings. Here’s a step-by-step guide based on my experience. Research First: Never dive in without preparation. It's essential to conduct proper research before setting up your gig. Whether it takes you two days or four, ensure that every decision you make is informed and intentional. Gig Title: Inspiration vs. Imitation: Never clone other sellers' titles. Sure, get inspired, and see how they place their keywords, observe how they're emphasizing keywords. Balance Keywords: Avoid making your title sound robotic with keyword stuffing. It should flow naturally. For instance, "I will design a perfect and timeless logo for your business" is way more appealing than "I will design a timeless business logo and modern minimalist logo design". Keywords and Tags: Unique Tags: Rely on Fiverr's search suggestions, not top seller's tags. Find low-competition keywords relevant to your service. Documentation: Maintain an Excel sheet to track promising keywords with fewer competitors. You can use this Excel sheet later to write the description. Pricing & Offerings: Competitive Analysis: Survey the competition. Ensure your offerings align with the market standards, if not better. Clear, Layman's Terms: Always present your services in simple, accessible language. Gig Extras: Innovate: Go beyond the usual "fast delivery" or "additional revisions". Think of what the client might need post-completion of the main service and provide that as an extra. This increases your revenue potential and enhances client satisfaction. Honesty: While it’s great to provide added services, never over-promise. Always remember: honesty and transparency come first. Description: Originality: A common misconception is that copying the description of a top seller will boost rankings. These sellers might rank due to consistent positive feedback, not their descriptions. Avoid Dependence on AI: Understand how prompts work before using tools like ChatGPT for generating descriptions. The quality of output depends on the quality of input. Be Relevant: Keep it client-centric. Introduce yourself briefly, highlight "Why hire us?" and detail your services. Ensure keywords blend seamlessly into the content, sounding natural and not forced. FAQs: Clear Doubts: Anticipate potential buyer questions and answer them in detail. Step into their shoes and address all possible concerns. Requirements Section: Thoroughness: List down all you need from the buyer. Be comprehensive, so you don’t have to disturb and ask for more information. Gig Image: Originality: Using copied images or even slightly tweaked ones is a big no. Not only can the Fiverr algorithm catch it, but you're also risking copyright infringement. Copyrighted Material: Many online images are copyrighted. To stay clear of potential issues, always use stock or licensed content. Remember, any shortcuts here can set you back enormously in the future. While this guide covers many critical points, there's always more to learn.
