    Should I OFF Promoted Gig feature on my all gigs and promote only the 2 best gigs?

    Brother this is happening same for me. This is because Fiverr New Level and Promotion system. Currently, Everyone can get promotion (Level 1, Level 2 and more). In previous there was criteria like Min 20 Reviews+ Other criteria. So, In previous for a category suppose 500 gig was promoted. But due to new promotion system, 5000 gig is approved for promotion. Now you think what the reason is of not getting enough order. On the other hand, buyer are same/Limited.

     

    As a student of Economics, Let's discuss the Economics Term, Using basic Coffee price, quantity, demand and supply for better understanding.

    The Determination of Equilibrium Price and Quantity

     

    The logic of the model of demand and supply is simple. The demand curve shows the quantities of a particular good or service that buyers will be willing and able to purchase at each price during a specified period. The supply curve shows the quantities that sellers will offer for sale at each price during that same period. By putting the two curves together, we should be able to find a price at which the quantity buyers are willing and able to purchase equals the quantity sellers will offer for sale.

    The equilibrium price in any market is the price at which quantity demanded equals quantity supplied. The equilibrium price in the market for coffee is thus $6 per pound. The equilibrium quantity is the quantity demanded and supplied at the equilibrium price.

     

    Shifts in Demand and Supply

    bb23951411428e023dd870bb744654c5.jpg

     

    Our current situation in Fiverr is Panel (C). Due to Promotion system of for everyone, the Seller/Supple is increased but the demand are same.

    A change in one of the variables (shifters) held constant in any model of demand and supply will create a change in demand or supply. A shift in a demand or supply curve changes the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity for a good or service.

    An increase in the supply of coffee shifts the supply curve to the right, as shown in Panel (c). The equilibrium price falls to $5 per pound. As the price falls to the new equilibrium level, the quantity of coffee demanded increases to 30 million pounds of coffee per month. Notice that the demand curve does not shift; rather, there is movement along the demand curve.

     

    Now, I have given an example by using Coffee price, demand & Supply.

    Now you can correlate:

    Coffee Price (P) = Fiverr Promotion Order

    Quantity of Coffee (Q) = Fiverr Promotional Seller

    D = Fiverr Promotion Client Demand

    S = Fiverr Promotion Seller Supply

     

    According to Panel (C), Currently Fiverr Promotional Seller Supply Increase from S1 to S2 but Demand (S1) remain same. For this reason, Fiverr Promotional Order decreased and quantity of Seller increased.

    So, According to General Equilibrium formula,

    You can't get order like previous due to fixed demand.

     

    Now how it can be changed. I mean how you can generate many order:

    1. An Increase in Demand (Panel A). Then you can get more order from Promotion by increasing Fiverr buyer (Promotional based)

    2. A decrease in Supply (Panel D). You can get more order if promotional seller decreases.

     

    Thank you!

    These are my results from last 10 days of last month March and I have set 20$ daily budget but this 20$ is not using everyday but may be your your spend goes to 20$ in 5 days or 6 days but t really depends. Do some research and try on different gigs for 2 or 3 days and you will see result and do some stats that what is conversion for every gig.

    I suggest to turn on promoted gigs for 1 - 3 gigs at max.

    I am level 2 seller and my gigs are starting from 100, 110 and 120$ as a flutter mobile app developer.

    So you recommend to promote just the best gigs which has more reviews and best success score instead of promoting all gigs?  Also do you recommend to set it No cap auto?

    I mean it has to do with the niche and what others pay as well. I tried with auto and without auto, you get more clicks with auto, but it also costing way way more. Clicks don't guarantee orders, though. But in general, at least for me, I average around 8x to 10x the invested money when I use promoted gigs, so for me it works. But there were people that paid over $50 and didn't receive any orders. 

    I think at $300, that's a lot of money to pay for ads on a website that also takes 20% of the cut in which they technically should also promote your gig. But hey, if it's profitable for you, then it's worth it.

    Do you recommend to promote it with no cap or with higher bid like $3 set?  Which gives better result?

    People mostly promote their no-ranked gig to get few orders. If other gig is already ranked, then you will get auto order.

    Still, you can set promotion for all. I set all of my 10 gigs. It's true some of them giving me order but some of them only cutting ads cost!

    The issue is I don't know have any gigs ranked,, I was promoting 2 gigs which give me orders but when I start promoting all, there is no orders coming now from any of them.

    I have a success score on only 3 gigs, so should I promote only those 3 gigs and OFF promoted gigs feature on other gigs?  As after new update the promoted gigs feature not working perfectly as before the new update the promoted features available on only my 2 gigs which gives me the best result but after the new update of new level systems I got the promoted features on my all gigs and until now I am not getting any orders,  also I don't have a organic ranking,  so I was mostly likely dependent on promoted feature.  So now what should I do to get better results?  Should I only promote the only 2 gigs which I promoting before or all gigs?

    When I should change my Gig image ?

    It matters only, when you are getting orders, the only thing which matters is to get complete more orders, then Fiverr boosting the gigs visibility automatically, so according to my success manager only more orders completion and 100% buyer satisfaction can you give ranking on first page

    Firstly this is just my opinion, there is no incentive for me to share the below, Fiverr hasn't asked me to do this and given the way the community is responding I’m aware I could get some (a lot of) disagreement with this.

    For context, I’m a TRS/Pro and have replaced my prior financial services/tech income using Fiverr. To be transparent I’m also a forum m0d, but please don’t think that means you can’t disagree with me. I’m not someone that hides posts, or blocks/warns people for disagreeing, only if someone is abusive/grossly unprofessional. Free speech is important so don’t be shy.

    I have learned a lot from this community over the last few years, users like @imagination7413, @frank_d, @damooch916, @vickieito @breals @visualstudios @newsmike to name a few (I know I'm missing loads) have been awesome, and from time to time I’ve tried to contribute positively myself to help others. I also think it's great to see established sellers like @levinewman sharing their thoughts/concerns on these changes and also being heard by Fiverr. That doesn't mean they'll act on it, they don't owe us that, but at least they're listening.

     

    Anyway, here we go…

     

    I get why you’re annoyed. I would be too. Everything looked great on your profile, with lots of 5* ratings and buyers leaving great written reviews. Maybe you thought this new level system was going to get you to TRS (often seen as the holy grail of Fiverr success). 

    Then BAM, you’re dropping a level or more when you thought everything was going great.

    It's kind of like getting dumped by a partner when they told you they loved you the day before. The thing is, there were probably problems you weren't seeing. You feel discarded and unloved, but the only thing you can do is learn and change.

    So I’ll say again, I would be annoyed/confused/frustrated/upset too. It’s a gut punch, and not expected. I have both empathy and sympathy for you. I mean that sincerely.

     

    Now, I’m going to make some assumptions/(potentially obvious) statements…

     

    Fiverr isn’t making up the data it's using. It has always been there, you just haven’t had visibility of it in the same way you do now, and it hasn’t been contributing to your overall score/level until now. 

     

    Fiverr is fixing the bugs. Bugs do happen, it can be a 1 person startup or Google, and bugs still get through. I think Fiverr will want to know why as much as we do, that doesn’t mean they’ll tell us why, but they don’t want bugs any more than we do and will fix them.

     

    Fiverr wants buyers to be happy. Stating the obvious, every seller knows this, but I think they saw a trend of buyers saying they were happy publicly when in fact they were less happy privately, and this was causing buyers to make the ‘wrong’ decision when picking a freelancer based on the public information. They tried to fix it with private reviews, and this is a further evolution of that.

     

    Fiverr wants sellers to be happy (it may not feel like it right now). Like any marketplace, Fiverr is a 2 sided ecosystem, and there needs to be a symbiosis between the 2 sides. I do believe that fundamentally Fiverr wants sellers to be successful, because if they have successful sellers, they can have buyers who get what they want, and if both sides are happy, Fiverr makes money. However, most marketplaces prioritize buyers over sellers. Uber, doordash, airbnb, you name it. It’s necessary to maintain the ecosystem. It’s far cheaper to acquire a seller/provider than a buyer.

     

    Algorithms are massively complicated. There are hundreds (thousands!?) of data points potentially now included, coupled maybe even with AI doing some analysis. We cannot expect every SM/CS agent/product owner/developer (or even the CEO himself!) to understand it entirely. Every account, with all its data points from all the various reviews (as well as profile setup, gig setup, everything) makes every seller account unique. This means it’s almost impossible for someone at Fiverr to give you 100% concrete feedback on why something is the way it is.

     

    I’m NOT saying everything is perfect, and I want to provide a balanced view so to be transparent I will share the things that concern me, and also show I'm not a Fiverr shill...

     

    Cancellations shouldn’t automatically be considered a fail. I once had a buyer spend 4 figures on a business plan, and when I met with him it was clear that he didn’t in fact need a business plan (I won’t go into detail on why) but I don’t want to sell things people don’t need, and so we agreed to cancel. He was thrilled and went on and spent money with other sellers who could give him what he did need. Support did amend my OCR when I explained why, but this could have still privately impacted me which I don’t think is right. Buyers make mistakes ordering, they change their minds, and stuff happens. Sellers shouldn’t be penalized for giving a buyer a good experience by canceling.

     

    Revisions are part of the creative process. The healthy way to view revisions is that it’s an opportunity to get the work to the best possible standard according to the buyer's expectations and your ability. I don’t think revisions in themselves should penalize the seller, it shouldn’t be automatically classed as conflict, but obviously, there’s a line, and sometimes excessive revisions are because the seller has overpromised and massively underdelivered. I once had a pitch deck go through 15 rounds because the buyer changed practically everything, the name, the logo, the colour scheme, the market, the product/service. You name it, they changed it and it ended up being an entirely different business. I think I overdelivered, but this probably counted against me.

     

    Response time can be brutal to maintain. I know the feeling of wanting to reply quickly, you want to close the sale, and it’s important buyers get a timely reply so I understand why it’s judged by Fiverr. This pressure gave me burnout, and I actually started to actively reply slower. This meant I avoided getting into back-and-forth conversations. I used to be at 1 hour response time for my first year, and I was most recently at 3 hours (I focused on it for the last couple of months once I got my energy back), but for the second half of last year I was at 6 hours, and in December it hit 10 hours. This January was still my best month for revenue. My point is don’t overly sweat it, I think decent buyers know you have other clients & commitments, and good buyers understand waiting for a few (or more) hours for good sellers. With so many data points it’s now become less important overall.

     

    The rating and review form is complicated. I’ve had buyers message saying it’s confusing, it’s time-consuming, or even apologizing as that was not the review they wanted to leave when I asked what I could have done better. Note I’m not asking them to change it (that’s not allowed), I just ask if they have any pointers on how I could have done more to help, especially when they've already decided to work with me further. They say nothing, it was great. They could be lying, but given I work with all my buyers on Zoom I think I know them reasonably well enough to judge if they're being disingenuous, and they buy again, and they tip me. The ratings/emojis should be linear IMO, and I think the value for money is a bit of a flawed concept. I also don't like professional work being judged by emojis, but it's not my platform, it's Fiverr's.

     

    Promoted gig inbox message/follow-up message feature. Promoted gigs have helped me get sales, but promoted inbox messages have instead led to questions and even anger. ‘Why did you message me’, ‘this is spam’, ‘leave me alone’. I have to explain it’s not me, but Fiverr. This means I’ve avoided promoting my gigs that cost more and just left the cheaper CPC ones promoting.

     

    Order page auto messages to fill in requirements ( @mandyzines lol), or join consultation calls. I find these automated messages to not be well structured, or overly polite. They’re very blunt, and I would rather control the messaging to my buyers myself rather than rely on automated messages. It makes me wonder what the promoted gig message says.

     

    The consultation feature needs a buffer. This is to prevent back-to-back calls which ultimately means a call either starts late or finishes early, which no buyer wants.

     

    Fiverr communication. With hindsight, I think more could have been done to prepare the community for the inevitable level drops (assuming Fiverr crunched the numbers for the impact beforehand), but maybe they didn’t expect it. The communication needs to be aligned as we are receiving some mixed messages. I also think it’s unreasonable for us to expect @Kesha to respond to everyone. That’s what support or your SM is for, but as per my earlier algo point, they can only know, or indeed share so much. Communication also goes both ways and beating down on Fiverr staff is never going to get you what you want. I think it can also undermine valid feedback, so be constructive. It’s easy to be a keyboard warrior, and I think you should only say on the internet what you’d say to someone's face.

     

    Buyer ratings. There needs to be a better way to rate buyers. Seller insights feature was a great step and very helpful. But still, I'm a coward, and rate every buyer as 'Great Buyer' because if I say anything else they could burn me with the private review out of spite.

     

    So, I want to leave you, my fellow sellers, with these sentiments…

    • This is a one-month transition, let's watch this space...
    • Fiverr does want you to be successful because if you’re not then they won’t be either.
    • I believe this change was done to make things better, not worse.
    • It might not seem like it, but they will be listening (but that doesn't mean they'll implement what you want).
    • You built success before on Fiverr when so many others tried and failed.
    • You learned what it took to get great feedback and keep clients happy with the old system. 
    • You can learn how to be successful with the new system.
    • You’re great at what you do? That means you’re capable, and you can do this. 
    • The game is still the same, but the rules have been updated.
    • You don’t need to be level whatever to make money. I know a level 2 doing 5 figures a month, and a TRS doing 3 figures a month.
    • Remember the person, whether they are Fiverr staff, or your fellow buyers and sellers (or me as you respond to this!).

     

    I'll say again I think it's great the community is giving feedback, that the forum is active and people are sharing and learning from each other. I mean it and I stated at the start that free speech is important.

     

    Perhaps above all remember you don’t work for Fiverr, you work on Fiverr, so make Fiverr work for you. Treat it as a business, adapt to the market, and of course don’t rely on one customer/platform/revenue stream to put food on the table. Evolve or die, that's the brutal truth, and it's true of however or wherever you make your income. You never know what's around the corner.

     

    Just my overly long 2 cents, and if I'm a level 0 in a month I might be making a dramatically different post, but I'll also be thinking what I can do to improve, to add value, and to grow again.

     

    Feel free to beat me up, venting is healthy!

    Sir it's better to OFF promoted gigs feature? 

     

    Also should I paused non performing gigs?  

     

    Do you think non performing gigs disturb the statistics of whole profile?  Like I have 15 gigs but only few is performing in the marketplace.

    Hello Fiverr Community,

    I'm reaching out to seek your advice regarding my current situation on Fiverr. I have 14 active gigs, but unfortunately, 12 of them are not performing as expected.

    Despite meeting the requirements for a top-rated seller, I haven't received the badge yet, and I'm beginning to wonder if these underperforming gigs might be affecting my profile's overall performance.

    I'm considering pausing these 12 gigs to focus on the two that are doing well. My questions are:

    1. Have any of you experienced a similar situation, and did pausing non-performing gigs help improve your profile's visibility and ranking?
    2. Do you believe that having multiple inactive gigs can impact one's chances of becoming a top-rated seller?
    3. Is there any other strategy you would recommend to enhance my profile's performance and increase my chances of receiving the top-rated badge?

     

    I appreciate any insights or experiences you can share. Looking forward to your valuable suggestions!

    Thank you!

    Hi Mazibar, I just check your profile are looking fine, I also checked the keywords you have targeted are high competitive, you just need to target low competition keywords and you need few orders, as i checked you did not completed any orders,

    Any Luck With "Promoted Gigs" Feature?

    Well, I used this thing on 2 of my gigs. Since I’ve been removed from search, I wanted to see if this will give me exposure or not for those 2 gigs. Well, after 2 days, there are no views registered from the paid promotion, not to mention 0 orders. So as far as I can see, if they removed you from search for some reason, you can try to pay for exposure, it won’t really make a difference. I will get back with an update after a week, but even so, for 2 days I was expecting at least a few views. Clearly there are other factors at play.

    are you using promoted gigs feature or not? if i turned it off? what will happend?
