    It's not just Fiverr, it's rampant in just about ANY industry. It's called "a race to the bottom". Many clients do not care about quality, they just want "cheap"! So they hire the vendor with the absolute cheapest rate. And they usually get what they pay for! ("If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys!") And at some point, some clients finally realize that instead of paying 3 "cheap" vendors to get their project done correctly, they could have paid a little more for a more professional vendor and been done already!   However, some clients are actually seeking quality work, and are willing to pay for it, and those clients usually by-pass the "bottom feeders", and if you set your rate too low, you wont be considered for the job.  To be honest, there aren't as many clients looking for top-quality as there are clients looking for cheap...but...there are fewer vendors providing true quality, so it sort of evens out. But I'd rather work fewer jobs for more money, wouldn't you? And there are fewer vendors who even know how to write about what they offer in an appealing, professional manner.  So...when it's a race to the bottom, you have two choices...join in and reduce your rate to nothing just to win the job...or stand aside and let them pass you by as you stand firm and get your preferred rate. Also, it seems that the clients who pay the cheapest also tend to be less than professional,  more demanding and unrealistic...while the professionals who pay a decent rate know what to expect. If the quality of your work justifies a higher rate, ask for the higher rate. The quality clients will find you.  But if you just want the higher rate, without the credentials to back it up, then you're in for a lot of disappointment.  I know, some pros just starting out on the platform DO offer quality work at low, low prices, just to get a body of work and some reviews, but if they are smart, they raise their prices accordingly and rather quickly. Best advice? Do high-quality work and demonstrate it professionally and effectively. And be patient. 

    Thank you for nice explanation. ❤️❤️

    Since there are Fiverr sellers all over the world, the prices also vary because of that. Some countries have a cost of living 10x or MORE than in other countries. Second, it depends on experience. I started on Fiverr years ago charging $5 for article writing. Once my feedback was sufficient, I doubled my prices, then I doubled them again and finally tripled them. I'm still constantly busy and have repeat buyers, but a newbie selling something for $1000 who doesn't have any feedback would be viewed as a risk by some buyers. If they have 500+ 5-star feedbacks, they look like a safer bet.

    Finally, you often get what you pay for. I've purchased gigs from cheap sellers, mid-priced and also high-priced sellers. Sometimes I'm pleasantly surprised by the cheaper options or disappointed by the higher cost ones. I'm in the US and couldn't afford to live or feed myself on my old prices but it's taken a while to get to the point where I charge more and where I finally think I'm worth it. I know there are hundreds of other writers on here charging $5 for what I charge $50 for, but it's taken me time to get here and I price my work according to what sellers will happily pay. Just my two cents... 

    Thank you victel for your beautiful answer.

    As a newbie, I believe it''s imperative for you to keep your prices low in order to attract clients. I guess the market is saturated enough with newbie's and generally people also willing to work at a lower wage, just to get reviews.

    Yes, Buyer's are taking opportunity from this. We can work 100 usd work with 80/90. when we're doing it 5/10 usd. it's very bad.

    Your inbox response rate is the percentage of messages you've responded to within 24 hours in the last 60 days. 

    So if you waited more than 24 hours to respond to a message, that will lower your response rate. It will keep dropping until you start getting new messages that you respond to in time. 

    Think about it this way: 

    If you receive two messages in 60 days and only responded to one of them within 24 hours, you would have a 50% response rate. 

    If you don't receive any new messages, and the one message you did respond to was more than 60 days ago, your response rate would drop to 0% because you didn't answer any messages in the last 60 days. 

    The only way to improve your response rate is by responding to all messages you receive within 24 hours. 

     

    Thank you so much for your time and response. this information will be useful for me.

    Do your gigs start at/around the price you want to sell them at? From my personal experience (and what I've seen on here) Fiverr is smart enough to show your gigs to people at a similar price range. If you quote, say ten times the price...(not saying you do just bringing up an example) I can see why they would choose someone else. 

    I used to be scared to set high prices as well but trust me if your work is good people are willing to pay for it. 

    Thanks ! Is it means, if I increase my gig price I will get that type of buyer who wants to pay good price for quality work?

  6. Why wages is very low on fiverr? 

    I charge $2k for design a website with wordpress for my local client. but in fiverr when I try to charge $400 buyer tell that prices are very high. I got another seller who will do it with $50 usd. it is very fraustrating for me. 😔 and I checked that later also. He actually done the work only $50. 

    Do you have any solution for this issue?
