This thread is an echo chamber of bad advice... 🗣️📢🔊 It doesn't really matter if you have one gig or ten if they all offer the same/similar services in the same/similar unappealing manner. It DEFINITELY doesn't matter if you "stay connect" or "stay online XX" amount of hours either... 🤦‍♂️

😬 The self proclaimed "gurus" are out for only one thing. Views. They are a massive source of misinformation or outright terrible advice for online freelancers, but unfortunately, a throng of new and desperate sellers heed their words religiously... What does ones forum profile have to do with their seller account profile? 😕 Many sellers do not even have a forum profile or just have a basic bare bones profile and don't put any extra effort into it because it is irrelevant to ones main account. MOST sellers are not active on the forum. Most Level Two, TRS, and Pro rated sellers are not active on the forum. A plethora of new desperate sellers who heed terrible advice that forum activity = seller profile visibility, and seemingly only a smattering of helpful souls and masochists are consistent forum contributors these days what with the terrible state the forum is in. For someone relatively new to the platform and the forum, it seems the impression you are leaving on a number of "forum regulars" is not one of positivity. I'll just leave by saying:

This is an obvious attempt by the OP to receive feedback on what color scheme he should utilize for his own gigs while barely trying to masquerade it as a "Tips for Buyers" thread... 🤨

The point was actually mentioned in one of the SP seminars (can't remember which exactly) but it was stated that there have been a number of sellers who qualified and were accepted for Pro status, but then eventually wished to be reverted back to a "regular" seller profile. Starting gig price might be a reason why, or perhaps jumping through the hurdles to maintain Pro rating (I don't really know what that entails), or some other reason. 🤷‍♂️

I'm pretty sure sellers can qualify as being Pro rated out of the gate without any orders or progressing through all the former levels if Fiverr staff deem their portfolio worthy. While it is safe to assume virtually all Level 2 sellers hope to become a TRS one day, not all TRS want to become Pro rated however. 🤓

Some of those users you are trying to garner their attention are no longer active on the platform. If they were, they'd probably tell you to knock that off. (Note to other forum users, this is an appropriate use of the word "knock" rather than how it is normally evoked here.)

Sorry, but the only good Matrix movie was the first Matrix movie... The second one had that incredible interstate chase sequence, but the rest was meh. And the third, good grief...

Smash was having a little fun, what with how freely "gurus" claim to be "experts" in anything and everything while actually not having a clue. You sure showed him by interpreting his reply as being serious, Mr. "one order completed" superstar.

If you aren't a TRS, having funding clearance quickened from 14 days to 7 days from being a SP member is a huge perk. The increased analytics info, coupon offers to previous buyers, and extra 10 buyer requests have varying importance to each individual seller. Having an actual go-between from Fiverr who knows you rather than just a random member of CS may prove invaluable if one finds themself in a pickle. The consultations are (for me at least) a great way to get some insight that isn't openly visible otherwise. I don't really message my SP manager as much as I should, but fortunately, I very rarely have troubling issues that require immediate attention or guidance from a third party.

A good image is preferable to a terrible video. Just keep that in mind.

I think you've been on the forum for enough time to make an informative decision on such a practice. If you are still unsure, take a quick look at the profiles of those who promote mentioning/soliciting reviews and then take a look at the profiles of those who oppose doing so.

I swear there was a thread veeery similar to this a month or two ago extolling the virtues of new sellers over experienced ones. ♻️

Buyer requests is not the main way the vast majority of sellers receive their orders. It's through the strength and attractiveness of their gig pages that converts curious prospective buyers into actual purchasers. Being a brand new seller generally means overly relying on BR to try to start the ball rolling, but having appealing, professional, and coherent gigs are still critically important in regards to BR, as a request poster will very likely check your gig pages if you've piqued their interest.

Strictly speaking of sound related hardware (as in things one can actually touch), a Neumann U87 Ai, Sennheiser MKH 416, Electro-Voice RE20, RME Babyface Pro, MixPre 3-II, Cloudlifter CL-1, and a bunch of expensive XLR cables whose manufacturer escapes me.

Honestly, you're probably not missing much... 😐

I quickly learned that most threads are not worth clicking on...

I think enough time has passed to develop a "fair and reasonable" impression of the "new" forum. IMO, It's worse than the previous iteration. Sure, threads devoid of any substantive content being spammed by clueless and desperate users who thank, congratulate, and praise one another was rampant in the old forum, but at least there were flagging and re-categorizing tools present that gave a modicum of means to combat the swelling tide of self advertising and harmful misinformation. I used to comment on the forum multiple times almost every day. Now, I need to intentionally muster the willpower to drag myself to posting a few times, then take a few days off from the brain cell killing drivel that inundates virtually every category in the forum. Expect that to get worse as more and more users who meaningfully contribute to the forum give up on it...

I'm glad to be back in the world. The recent years spent out in space were pretty difficult to get accustomed to. 👨‍🚀🌎

Surprised it's that high what with the, uhh, unconventional nature of most my gigs.

Congratz on your success, but why didn't the OP wait for 25 more reviews to hit an actual milestone like 1000? 🤷‍♂️

I'm sure family-run Fiverr accounts is a thing. If one member passes away, it seems entirely plausible that the other members can continue on with the account if the services are the same/similar. 🤔

😬 OooooOOOOH! I'vvvve cooome baaaack frooom beeeyoooond the graaaave to toiiil awaaaay answerrring quessstions on a foooorum! OoooOOOH! 👻 You'd be surprised, but that is an entirely different topic of discussion!

This IS an odd post, and I think I answered your question by directly referencing a successful seller's profile who has indeed passed away.

What a very odd question! If a man dies then what will be his or her Fiverr account? Uhh. 🤨 The account likely either is set inactive by a friend or family member, or the account gets placed on indefinite hold for not responding to orders, messages, and for general inactivity. Unfortunately, there's at least one successful account I can directly reference. Activerog was a successful 'memey' Australian spokesperson who passed away. His account is still present on Fiverr and his gigs are not visible on his profile but can still be found via internet search, but on top of his gigs is a disclaimer stating:
