Fiverr gives TEMPORARY BOOST to new gigs all the time, nothing new about it. Gigs of seasoned sellers also must have received the same boost in the past, when they had zero reviews!!

Define ILLEGAL suggestions??

Most likely 5% income tax deducted at the source. Submit your PAN card details to Fiverr - for future orders it will become 1% TDS after the submission.

While writing the public review, buyer gets the option to choose whether their work can be visible in seller's LIVE Portfolio or not. Also, if order gets auto-completed or buyer doesn't leave a review - work won't appear in your gig gallery in those cases either.

Interesting, thanks for locating and sharing it back. I wasn't aware of this. So, Low success score ---> Label gets assigned ------(6 months⌛)--> Label gets removed. And may be, gig will turn up in search results!!

There are no manual evaluations and 6 month time frame is for the re-evaluation of TRS-qualified people. Everything else is just a function of a big AI engine which runs on some complex data science model with a zillion data points to calculate gig and success score(s).

Naah, toxicity is everywhere. We just choose our own battles and focus on the controllables. It's more of a matter of personal priorities and what affects own mental health. I would rather not have bosses, monday blues, peakhour traffic and endless rut of boardroom meetings (done all that for more than a decade). PS By no means, Fiverr is a walk in the park. We all know what's going around on multiple fronts here.🤐

Your gig images are very basic and look like downloaded as templates or from the internet. They don't utilize the full recommended size also to make maximum impact. Do some research on the best-performing gigs in your categories, take notes and then you can either design new gig images yourself in Canva or hire a competent seller on Fiverr to design them for you.

NO, you don't need to be active or online!!

You can look for any USB-based full HD webcam, which can be clipped on top of your monitor/laptop screen. eg Lenovo 300 FHD Webcam or a similar model from any other good quality brand.

When reel become reallllll...life!! 🫠☹️ <Inserts poster of Expendables 4> 🙈

You will get the zoom call option in your inbox also, once your average selling price crosses $50. Details are mentioned in the help center link I shared in my reply.

I'm so sorry that, you had these horrible experiences during your initial days on the platform. Please avoid communicating with anyone outside the platform and for Zoom calls, ask people to place the order FIRST. All sellers can use the integrated Zoom calls feature on the order page. (https://help.fiverr.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011062838-Video-calls-Zoom-calls) Fiverr records all these calls and can help you in case of inappropriate conduct. Also, you might want to have professional gig images, which describe your services concisely and may be increase the prices little bit (to double digits at least in USD to avoid the scamsters). It takes time to fetch orders on Fiverr but it does have a lot of Real Buyers for sure. Good luck!

It easily crosses 60% once we start factoring in the average 18% GST on all our expenses!! 🫠😂

Same here @vickieito, I wasn't active on the forum for the initial 3+ years of my journey on the platform. Like you said, most of the answers are available in the Help Center and in general, Fiverr's UI is intuitive and common-sensical to follow for one and all. Though once in a few months, I used to come here and read the pinned posts from Frank and other veteran sellers to expand my point-of-view but most of the stuff about Fiverr's processes is something I have learnt on my own. (I'm sure this must have been the case with you too🙌).

Forum reputation DOES NOT help the gigs or sales on the platform. So instead of chasing forum reputation with badly written advice to everyone on a daily basis - it would be far more productive to practice and refine own skillset and get better at it. Plus, people with zero sales should not be advising other new sellers!!

There is NO official information on this. It would be better to focus on completing the qualification criterion for a Level 1 seller.

I ask sufficient amount of questions to ascertain the 'scope of work' for the order, which also ensures that me and the buyer are on the same page wrt expectations and deliverables. 90% of my work on the platform has been through custom orders. So, through the questions, I also ascertain the time and effort which will be required for the work - to arrive at the cost & timeline for the custom order. Occasionally, I do encounter buyers who need the end product but are clueless about what information they need to provide. For them, I create a simple questionnaire in a word doc and ask them to fill it. Story:🫠 I had once encountered a buyer who refused to answer the questions and said, "I don't have time for your questions. If I had to provide you with all THESE answers, then what am going to pay you for??" 🥰

Your profile has received just 4 public ratings in the last 2 months (since the launch of Success Score in Feb'24)!! Fiverr won't tell us how many orders we need to deliver to move the success score but 4 orders will certainly not help.

In other news, my gig is having voluntary mood swings 😏

Grammarly keeps sending this kind of summaries and often claims to detect the tonality of the conversation. I won't be surprised if Fiverr has embedded similar tech. Plus, l think @zerlina84 had shared that - Fiverr's AI can't read non-english conversations and her SM told her to converse more in English to improve the 'negative impact pertaining to effective communication'!! 🤐

I had one such cancellation in the last week of Dec'23 but it had no visible impact on my stats or gig performance. I didn't receive any notification either - order just disappeared from the dashboard queue.
