I've unintentionally ended up with a mullet once or twice - I forget to get it cut and then bam, someone calls me 'mullet boy'.

hen there are multiple things being tested right now for enabling multiple sellers to collaborate.
Ooooh really? That is exciting. You know we all want to know more @frank_d! Half the time I'm referring my buyers to other sellers to help them with something they need, videos, copywriting, websites etc.

Tell a lie @johnbouquets, I do have the badge! I have also noticed that today my response time has slipped to 2 hours lol.

Oh interesting! Haven't seen that before. My response time is under an hour but still not quick enough to qualify I guess, or I don't have the feature yet.

All these changes are affected heavily on their stock value. Companies should scale, but should not change core values.
Huh?

I noticed the 'recommended' element got added to promoted gigs recently. The obvious insight is that you are more likely to be successful by promoting these gigs. Currently 4 of my gigs have recommended and 2 don't. So what I'm also taking from it is that I need to do better on the 2 that don't.

Does anyone need a bloxburg house!? 😆
I'm kinda over the annoyance of briefs, it is what it is, but people trying to solicit business is particularly annoying.

It seems that Fiverr is making some changes to this feature, they just added the option to send a message!
Moving in the right direction! I actually started making a crazy big offer to briefs (great suggestion @frank_d, even if only joking) which then enabled me to message the buyer.
I'm now thinking, if briefs are still targeting the category level I'm guessing they go to a lot of sellers, so buyers will potentially now be receiving a lot of messages to their inbox.
So, I'm wondering...
a) If you're a buyer that puts out a brief but also sell on fiverr will this impact your response rate?
b) I can see buyers marking messages as spam if they suddenly get a lot of messages?

did you got more friendships/colleagues out of this Fiverr experience
I met a regular buyer of mine for dinner last week. They had just arrived in Tbilisi, Georgia having managed to get out of Ukraine. I now consider that buyer a colleague and a friend. That's the only fiverr person I've met in real life.
Like others I use the follow to bookmark credible sellers that give great information/insights.

What tips do I follow or from where should I research this topic?
Search the forum @mrsazzad14. Frank and others have shared lots of helpful posts already. This could be a good place to start:

I think you pretty much nailed the issues @frank_d. These are some ideas that are probably stating the obvious and are rehashing some of what you've previously suggested...
Perhaps a word count minimum on the description would help, although it would be easy to get around.
Re your idea of a form I think that makes sense, but one where sellers can clearly describe what's included, set the price and the delivery time frame.
Re relevancy, it seems to be stuck at the category level, could it go down to the gig level.
Now this might be a crazy idea (and I know it's ill thought out on my part)... but offer a zoom call to the buyer at a flat cost after the form you suggest has been returned. Not sure what it should cost, maybe $30 for 30 minutes. No rating involved. Buyer can choose which sellers they choose to have a call with to then discuss their requirements. Like I say I haven't thought it fully through!
If the goal of briefs is to look after more premium buyers and get away from the BR cesspit vibe this could maybe achieve that.

Had a long day and couldn't help but reject and hit the 'other' option so I could share my frustrated reason:
Everything was too vague. Does the buyer want leads, a pitch, a strategy or someone to actually hire her, is she trying to sell a service? Could this buyer be confused about what a brief is for? I've not been able engage with any brief yet because I cannot understand what the buyer wants and therefore cannot quote effectively. I really don't see how this feature is different to a buyer request. Why does fiver think 'I'm a great choice'? Because I have a gig in the Business category? Is that it?
Maybe I should have done a massive offer. $10K. But then I'd have to go through the inevitable cancellation dance, or have my offer rejected, both of which I fear hitting my stats/standing. Sorry to deprive you of more entertainment for you and your popcorn @frank_d 😆😉

I don't want to turn the feature off in case they actually prove useful, but this is a bit of a joke. Does the buyer want leads, a pitch, a strategy or someone to hire her? Could this buyer be confused about what a brief is for.

I've received 3 or 4 Briefs now. All either completely out of touch with what I offer, or nowhere near enough info to accurately quote.
Briefs just feel like buyer requests under a different name, like they've tried to rebrand it because they've seen so few established sellers engage with BR's. I don't see any meaningful difference. Am I missing something?

Just out of curiosity: what did you reply and did you keep working with that seller?
I replied that the message to message them first was in the requirements so I couldn't see it before purchase. I then gave my requirements and he completed the gig. It was fine in the end!

I think this is one of those rare occasions when it makes complete sense for this kind of gig, and is when it should be used 🙂

This is a rant with my buyer hat on. I know this has been discussed before here but I want to rant.
Bought a background removal gig for $5 yesterday. They are a new seller (I like supporting new sellers and I like that it was cheap).
The first message I got from them was 'y u did not message first'.
This request wasn't in their gig description, but was in their requirements (it was the only thing in their requirements).
I think if you want buyers to message you first you are on the wrong platform! Go to another platform where that is how it works.
The joy of fiverr as a buyer is being able to find a service and buy it quickly whilst having confidence in the delivery deadline being met. It's like a supermarket. Buy what you want, when you want and get it when you expect.
If you're a seller that does this, may I ask why you do it?
Do you not have confidence in being able to deliver the service you offer? Do you have too much work? What is the reason?
I'm 99% sure you can avoid the need to get a message first if you use the tools fiverr gives you, have a clear gig description and have clear requirements.
Rant over.

I was told by my SSM that repeat buyer score is based on the same buyer buying another gig from the same seller in the same category as their previous purchase.
I don't think repeat buyer score should be limited by category but should instead just be based on the same buyer coming back to the same seller, regardless of gig or gig category.
For example, I have buyers coming to me for career advice in the life coaching category, they then purchase a LinkedIn rewrite/optimization gig from me (a different category), followed by a purchase for interview coaching which is again in a different category.
In this example I have successfully up sold and retained that buyer a further two times after the original purchase but it doesn't count as a repeat buyer in any way.
I could make an offer and do the LinkedIn and interview coaching under the career advice gig, but I think this isn't accurate, would be gaming the repeat buyer score and may confuse the buyer which is why I don't. However it just doesn't seem right that I've had multiple repeat buyers and it just doesn't count towards my repeat buyer score.
Perhaps there could be 2 types of repeat buyer scores, one at the seller level and one at the gig level. This may be confusing and I think having it at the seller level is more telling/accurate.
The same goes for when I sell a business consultancy gig, then a business plan gig, the a LinkedIn optimization gig. Again, no repeat buyer score 😭
Having the trophy would be good for buyer confidence, but more importantly I assume fiver considers it when judging how a seller is performing and how it positions sellers on the platform, that's why I really care!
Just my two cents 😀 🙏

Whether you qualify can change for a variety of reasons. It's not just based on your public reviews, but also the private reviews that fiver asks buyers for as well (these are more important than public reviews), as well as other factors. Additionally, as other buyers become eligible to use the option to promote gigs it may impact your ability to promote. Fiver is a marketplace, there is always ebb and flow. Just wait, do a good job and it should come back 🙂

Congratulations @vibronx. Great job. Good luck ahead!
I thought they would never choose me due to the fact that I have blocked 161 people on Fiverr
It doesn’t matter how many people you block. This is a tool to protect sellers from fraudulent buyers. I don’t see it as a problem if you block people that try to manipulate the system, which purposefully rate you poorly or stuff like that. It’s just a great way to cleanse your Fiverr experience.
This is something I’ve learned from you @donnovan86 and some others here. I’m now much more open to blocking and it makes my fiver experience less painful. If my spidey sense goes off then I politely decline and block. Life’s too short.

@vibronx some questions out of curiosity if you don’t mind… how long were you eligible to be TRS before it happened? Just wondering if it was quick once you hit the requirements or did you hit them a while ago?
Also, if it was a while ago then did you make any meaningful changes recently to your profile or gigs that you think maybe satisfied the manual vetting process?
I know each case is different but just wondering what your particular experience was 🙂

Thank you so much, @williambryan392! I am sure you will get there too - your posts are top-quality, so I am sure your clients are very satisfied as well!
Very kind of you to say so. I hit level 2 myself yesterday, a long road to TRS but let’s see what happens, life is full of curve balls! Well done again 🙂

What video/board games have you been playing recently?

Stranded Deep. You crash land on a deserted island, have to survive and ultimately escape. Really enjoyed this.
Still trying to find the time to fully get into / learn this game. If I only play every couple of weeks when I can carve out some time I find I've forgotten most of what I learned last time. I'm still on my starting planet (I think!).
