My first piece of advice / help is to change your profile photo to a photo of yourself.

It can take weeks or months to get your first order @mynul4266. In the meantime search the forum and look at the 'tips for sellers' category. There's lots of great advice there. I suggest you split your gig into multiple gigs. 'I will do data entry, copy paste, lead generation, web research' are separate tasks. Also, I don't know what 'copy paste' is as a service. @webdevexpert0 in case you don't know it's against Fiverr terms of service to use a profile image that isn't yours. I suggest you change it before you get reported / banned.

Have you checked the app? I had a bug where I couldn't leave my review of the buyer on desktop.

I'll hide this topic shortly because like you say @mariashtelle1 it's incorrect / bad advice, and / or not original content. @filipdevaere we really do try. It's a balancing act of allowing free speech and removing spam / incorrect advice. For example, in the above, staying active is bad advice, having an attractive gig image is technically not bad advice. It is however advice that is certainly not original which is why I'm happy to hide this. Also, being a mod isn't a full time thing, most of us are volunteers, and there's just too darn much of it to stay on top of it. There are daily user warnings and hiding of topics / comments. Most just don't see it happening. If you tag me or another mod (not all of us see when the report button is used) we can take a look 😃

How do you know...?

oh absolutely, they are all still factors, it's still a very relevant and helpful post / topic! To caveat though, 'the pyramid' is quite variable as there are sellers that sell over multiple categories and I don't know how a shortage of TRS in one category and an over supply in another plays off against each other. I still think the overrarching rule of thumb is keep over delivering, make your buyers super happy and it will come. The funny thing is as soon as I stopped caring about it is when it happened for me. Like literally that month I was like 'screw it, I don't care' and boom it happened.

This is just marketing to get more to be on the plan from what I've heard on the grapevine. By definition you're going to get a preference / fast track, because only certain sellers (great ones) get on the plus plan in the first place, and SMs want their people to get promoted, so whilst the review regularity is likely higher the chances are only increased because the seller is already great, not because of plan. I know a resume/linkedin writer that started this year that refuses to pay for anything (as much as I insist they should lol) and they made TRS 7 months in and then paused everything to go do other stuff. I guess because it came easy for them they didn't relish / appreciate it as much as the rest of us! I think he's been a bit sort sighted!

New gigs / new seller profiles are usually not allowed for one of three reasons: -The gig / profile is low quality. -The gig / profile uses copyrighted material. -The gig is against the terms of service. Just because you see other sellers selling a certain type of gig it doesn't mean that gig is allowed. It just means Fiverr hasn't gotten around to removing it yet. Some sellers have sold 1000's of gigs that break TOS and then have their gig removed. Fiverr could have made a mistake, it's possible, but they do want new sellers joining and selling.

I don't think so. It's just a wordpress plugin. Check with support if you want to be sure.

Seriously @rakibmaruf? SERIOUSLY? You literally copy and pasted this question from @ca7acly5m. All you did was change your age from 16 to 22 (nice catch, it would obviously just look crazy/silly if you kept the age the same). Why would you do it? Why do you keep doing it? It literally boggles my mind. I just don't understand it. Like why? Please tell me why, I genuinely want to know! There is no benefit to you, or any other seller or buyer, or any other human being in the world. Indeed, no one that has ever existed in humanity, or will ever exist until the end of time will benefit from this contribution. It adds no value to the forum and is once again plagiarism. It wastes the time of decent sellers such as @callyofficialthat genuinely just want to help other sellers. It puts people off using the forum when they see rubbish like this. STOP PLAGIARISING. Yes, the caps are intentional. Continuing to plagiarise, or give bad / incorrect advice will result in a ban. The forum can be a wonderful place, a place to learn and help each other become better sellers. Please use it constructively. Please post questions that you genuinely have that you can't find an answer for.

Yes. @tharinduslakshait is inappropriate to comment on anyones personal appearance. The forum is a friendly and relaxed place, free speech is encouraged BUT commenting on someones appearance adds no value and won't be allowed. It's just not cool, and it doesn't help anyone. The forum is still a workplace, and professionalism is always expected. It seems to me that @filipdevaere took your comment as a joke, which is fortunate, he would be justified not to. Please don't comment on someones personal appearance again. @mariashtelle1 is referring to the Forum Moderation team (which I am part of). You are not new to Fiverr @tharinduslaksha . You've been on Fiverr since September 2021, and the Forum since October 2021. You should know the rules by now. @filipdevaere said 'spam', not 'scam'. I would agree, this topic from @forhadahamma143really doesn't add much value, which makes it spam. Additionally other comments from OP are usually 'nice' or 'ok' which again adds no value to the forum. So, friendly reminder to everyone, be respectful, don't make personal comments and please only contribute to the forum with well thought out, original and meaningful content. Failure to follow the rules can result in warnings, suspensions and bans.

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!

Why have you posted this in the 'tips for sellers' category? Moving it to 'Fiverr Questions', although I'll answer now that the best skill for Fiverr is a skill that you have.

I just use airbnb, but others use myhome.ge & place.ge , and there are facebook groups, but to my detriment I dont use facebook

Ah so lots of options then!

I enjoyed the philipines, but wifi could by tricky, especially on the islands (so ive heard) and you don't want to spend too long in manila. Love Tbilisi, chilled out, good food, and still pretty cheap. I want to Columbia, I hear great things about Medellín

Which passport(s) do you have @strategist_ceo? and which countries are you travelling between? I think I'm a bit old for co living, but I have friends that do it and love it.

Yep, that's me pretty much, i enjoy it. Currently back in Tbilisii, Georgia, but done a few other places this year. Going to UK for Christmas, then Canary islands I think, then maybe South Africa, not sure where after that. I love the lifestyle, just have to careful with the time difference. It can be tricky to find local communities, each place is a bit different with different styles, some are better than others, but as @katakatica it is out there, you just have to find it. Where would you like to go @strategist_ceo? I assume you're thinking of doing it?

Ah great, thanks for helping me do some stalking 🤣 Have you paused your gigs / profile? I can't see your gigs or profile and you don't come up in search. Oh wait, I'm being an idiot I think, you're solely a buyer and are now considering starting to sell? I thought you were just considering adding new / different gigs!

I've got it but won't be using it. As others have said it doesn't help with the response time, I already have a list of tempates and it would be far too generic. The only thing I can think of is letting them know my sleeping hours so they understand why they may not get an immediate response, but I don't think it's worth it.

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. I LOVE THIS. Again, agree! Just test it. You can always pause the gig if you don't like doing it, and assuming you already have and continue to get other good reviews I'm sure you could handle/absorb one average hit. How did you find @moikchapprofile @vickieito, it's not coming up in Fiverr search or google for me. Weird!

I think he's quite lucky with the space he's in. Google specialists aren't cheap, aren't if the client likes what you do there's a high chance of them repeating / subscribing because it's not like you can set up and just forget about google ads. I recall looking at your profile ages ago, and just had another look. Your art is crazy good, and your reviews are stunning. Almost 3000 of them, all 5*, apart from 12 4* and 2 3*. Even then the written reviews are all great for the non 5*. Kudos! Maybe just go ahead and create the gig, keep it for several months and see how it goes? There are plenty of off-putting stuff but overall I believe it's worth giving it a try. You always have the option of deleting/pausing your gig too. Do it @moikchap! Take the risk, test it, see what happens. I tried to check out your profile but I couldn't find you. Are you on a different user name? You don't have to answer of course 🙂, was just curious about your profile.

I don't think there are earning requirements. I've seen TRS that don't do half that amount, and I wasn't consistently doing that when I became TRS 5 months ago or so. It's a matrix of so many different things. I think what's more important is that your average selling price is increasing over time, your category isn't saturated with TRS already, your profile looks great and of course your private reviews are great too. Also, if you didn't get pro it may be a sign / make them think that you're not TRS ready yet. This is just my opinion / pure guesswork. It's all a bit of a mystery!

If it was me I would contact them, but I doubt there is anything they can do. If it's a bug they are probably already working on it, and they won't be able to see what your buyers see. I would just say: Hello support team, hope you are well! Several of my buyers have told me they can't leave feedback on an order completed in the last 24 hours. Is there a known bug or anything I can do? Thanks

Very good point! I assumed they were recent. How long ago were the gigs completed @editing_studio7? Asking for feedback is allowed, asking or steering the buyer towards a positive rating is not allowed.
