or cats that don't even need litter boxes...!

To those wishing for money, you're boring 🤣, but to be honest I also wish for that too! To those wishing for health for themselves or their loved ones, I wish it for you as well! 'Health is wealth' as the saying goes. To those wishing for family and friends to be close, well aren't you just the sweetest - I wanted more selfish answers! 🤣 We're going to have a curry on Christmas day this year. We decided to mix it up completely! Chipotle also sounds like a great idea! I got my god daughter lego a couple of years back and she loves it. Her parents were always quite traditional in their gifts so I thought I'd mix it up. You obviously know your girls better than me @breals, but they may love it, TBH I've never heard of a child not loving lego! I also got a 'learn to code' app on my iPad when I stayed with them for a couple of weeks and she got really into that. Since then her dad got her a raspberry pi and she's been flying along! You're a good man! What's the cat's name!? PM me. I'm serious. I want to buy you socks (not in a creepy way, no photos of you wearing said socks will be expected) but you do so much on the forum behind the scenes you're the real MVP here in my book. Everyday I wake up to the warnings and the posts being moved- it warms my heart so it's only reasonable your feet are warm too. I also may want to buy some for myself, please share the link? I'm boring and like buying socks for myself! That would be an awesome experience. It would be cool to meet everyone in the flesh! We just have to agree to not only talk about Fiverr!!

It is offered to certain sellers on the earnings page. If you can't see it then this feature is not being offered to you at this time.

Bumping means to move a topic up to the first page by commenting on it in order to give it attention. Crossposting is the act of posting the same message to multiple forum areas or topics.

My pleasure. One more suggestion for you, and probably an obvious one. Launch a new gig! It should get some more exposure (new gigs do get a bump up), which could trigger potential buyers to look at your other services, which should then hopefully bring your existing gigs back to life.

ok wow that looks very coo! oh ditto, of course, I'll only ever do pure work on mine.... I'm also thinking of maybe getting one of those dual monitor extenders but don't know much about them. Need to research!

Freelancing can be tough, and we all work hard I know, and sometimes we deserve to treat ourselves I think. My second hand $100 chromebook has been a sturdy friend to me since I started on Fiverr. However, it's slow, it's dirty, I swear it actually smells slightly (it did when I got it, don't judge me!) and I thought I deserved a treat so I took the plunge and bought a new Lenovo with a 40% black friday discount! It's a business expense too so thankfully also tax free! I'm so excited for it to arrive! Ok, I know it's not Christmas / holiday season yet, and Santa may judge me for getting my present early, but I don't care. So, what do you want for Christmas? If you don't celebrate Christmas that's completely cool! But what's on your wish list? What is the one treat that would make your life, personally or professionally, better? (and please don't say getting a Fiverr order or reaching TRS/Pro status!). I want to hear about products or experiences!!

It will take time for the algorithm to realise you are back / active on Fiverr again. I think a good way for you to start would be to either use the new Briefs feature and respond to prospective buyers, or bring new clients to Fiverr. You can find more info on briefs here courtesy of @vickieito: Here are 16 tips to train the AI to get better matches: https://community.fiverr.com/forums/topic/274154-can-anyone-explain-the-feature-fiverr-briefs-in-details/?do=findComment&comment=1832873 https://community.fiverr.com/forums/topic/293601-how-to-get-buyer-request/#comment-1850772 And here's more information on what you can do to improve your gigs so that you get better matches: https://community.fiverr.com/forums/topic/293675-%F0%9F%93%88-fiverr-simplified-get-matched/ @mariashtelle1 recommended this webinar to me (see last video in the link below) and I really liked the "Best Practices" tips that start about the 8:00 minute mark and the Q&A that starts at the 45:00 minute mark.

Yes. You can reject buyer briefs. You should reject ones that are not suitable. The AI will learn and will provide you with better briefs. Also, please just use the defaults font size when writing on the forum. Your topic was hard to read. Thanks! @vickieitoput this together, you should read it: Here are 16 tips to train the AI to get better matches: https://community.fiverr.com/forums/topic/274154-can-anyone-explain-the-feature-fiverr-briefs-in-details/?do=findComment&comment=1832873 https://community.fiverr.com/forums/topic/293601-how-to-get-buyer-request/#comment-1850772 And here's more information on what you can do to improve your gigs so that you get better matches: https://community.fiverr.com/forums/topic/293675-%F0%9F%93%88-fiverr-simplified-get-matched/ @mariashtelle1 recommended this webinar to me (see last video in the link below) and I really liked the "Best Practices" tips that start about the 8:00 minute mark and the Q&A that starts at the 45:00 minute mark.

This has already been answered:

You are allowed to share email IF it is necessary to complete the gig. However, to be extra safe I would email support@fiverr.com and explain the situation. They should understand, and then if you get a warning for it later you can say that you checked with support and they said it was OK.

Well said @damooch916. It's great to see an increase of intelligent and helpful contributions from the likes of @vickieito @breals @sunboatrecords . It's made the place better for sure! Yep agree, it's admirable, the patience of a saint! The sensible approach! Too many people don't read the information that's already available and instead expect to be spoon fed. I wish others would do the same! Every day I get inbox messages about how to get orders on Fiverr and how to improve their gigs. I send links and tell them to read as that's the only way they will be more capable professionals in the long run. Spoon feeding obvious answers they could work out themselves won't make them better. It shows them that laziness is rewarded. It's like a teacher just giving the student the answer rather than showing them the route to get the answer. The classic 'give a man a fish' adage. I also fear that (in some way) it is helping sellers mislead buyers because their profile isn't their own work which is perhaps borderline unethical. This is why writing gig descriptions as a gig isn't allowed. Anyway, mini rant over, but darn, it annoys me so much and I'm so glad to have seen this new blood on the forum this year. Thanks again to you all! Can't believe it's December already. Let's hope 2023 is great for us all and that the forum only continues to get better!

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.
