    What's to LOL about? I don't get it. Every niche has its own limitations, and you are free to choose your own prices. 

    Please forgive me, there was no desire at all to offend  you, do not think anything bad at all.  It's hard for me to explain why I wrote this because I don't know how to clearly explain in English what I meant)

    Indeed it is. I love it, and I thrive as a freelancer. I hate working for someone else. But I know people who could never handle the pressure and still be able to relax at night. We're all different, and that's a good thing. We can't all be freelancers. 

    It's a great lifestyle, if you're cut out for it. I couldn't imagine my self doing anything else. 

    Thank you very much for sharing your experience, I really appreciate it!)

    1. Some don't know their own worth. 

    2. Some worry that if they change price, this will result in less orders. 

    3. Some are simply happy with the earnings and the amount of work they do.

     

    Yes, it’s true, but in my case more interesting have less work but per high price. I noticed this when I try to chang prices in my gigs. Even with high course of dollar in Ukraine now 3$ in our currency is nothing cause all prices very high now. I love my job, but I love money too, lol))

    Exactly! Good thinking! Besides, having a five-dollar-gig attracts the worst buyers. You don't want to work for the Scrooge McDucks of this world. 

      

    Growing a business takes time. I spent years on Fiverr developing my business. I'm still developing, even as a Top Rated Seller. I'm still working every day to better myself, my business and my services. It's not just slow. It's neverending. That's how business works. 

    Some people are cut out for it. Others can't handle it and much prefer to work on a contract from 9-5. If you weren't expecting it to be hard, difficult and tiresome, you've been misinformed about what it takes to start and run a business.  

     

    Fiverr takes me great opportunities, it’s great experience to work here, I work at home, when I want, and with people from different country. I play a lot of different music and it’s awesome. It’s like a lifestyle I think

    False.

    If you are good at what you do, you can grow in spite of the competition.

    I found that price doesn't really matter that much, up to certain point. A few months ago, I increased my rates, and watched my click-through rate go down (fewer people clicking my gigs) yet my revenue went up, because the orders I did get were bigger. At some point in this process, I thought I'd test this out for the fun of it, so I'm currently lowering my rate by 10 bucks on voice overs. The click-through-rate has gone up a bit, but it's been a quiet week anyway, so I don't have the numbers to go by yet. I'm curious to see if my revenue/workload stays the same or not. 

    If you notice no difference, you could up the prices. If you get fewer orders, but you're earning the same, that's actually a good thing! Less work for more money. If you see your revenue sinking,  you could evaluate if your price is too high or if you need to offer something different to justify the rates. 

    There's really no right answer to this one. It depends on what you're offering. If people pass by, you're probably doing something wrong in your conversion efforts. If so, you need to look at what you can do to up your conversion rate, rather than changing your pricing. 

     

    Thanks a lot for your experience! I’m very appreciate it! I noticed that it’s really no matter 5$ or 20$ gigs starts. I decided to up the prices, cause I’d better work for 50 $ once a week than 5$ once a week)

    I started out with selling my writing for 5$ per 1000 words. Now, depending on the gig, I charge $80\$150 for the same amount. 

    I don't have 30 orders a month anymore, but I don't really need such a thing anymore (because with my much higher prices I don't need to write 100k words a month to survive. Would be cool if I could, but still!

    Having higher prices is a risk to some extent for sure, but if you're good at what you do, the right clientele will find you. Even if i were to lose my level I would keep my prices - having less orders (but 'better' ones in a way is the goal, for me at least!)

    Thanks for answer! Yes, I agree with you! Level is just a level, but money more important than sticker under the avatar.

    They do so because they don't know their own worth. It's sad, really. 

    But the good news is that Fiverr no longer rewards having the lowest possible price. 

    Fiverr prefers to market gigs with a higher price, and the goal of the platform is to go up-market. That means more expensive gigs will have an advantage, not just because the system will prefer them, but also because Fiverr works hard to attract more high-end buyers to the platform. 

    So even if you see a lot of cheaper sellers (no matter the level) it doesn't have to be this way for you. You set your own rates. 

    There are other advantages of seller levels, like access to more gigs, more gig extras, priority customer support and better optics, i.e. by not being a "new seller", you have some sort of recognition on Fiverr. This mostly applies to Top Rated Sellers, but even level 2 and level 1 sellers will seem more experienced in the eyes of many buyers. 

    At any rate, I think even new buyers should start upping their rates. Selling anything for five bucks these days, is pointless. Not only will you be working almost for free, but you'll attract the worst buyers. Cheapskates are notoriously more difficult to work with. 

    Thank you so much for complete answer! But how to compete with a lot of cheap sellers even I have good rating and a lot of very different gigs, but win that who works for 10-15$. I try to up the prices, try to down its again — there is no difference. People cliks the gigs and pass by. Even some people wrote to me in the previous my topic that my prices may be higher🤷🏻‍♂️

  9. Hi! I’m a musician from Ukraine, Fiverr now is single way to earn money for me. I write in a special topic for Ukrainian sellers a couple of months ago, but I’m still not in Ukrainian job store and clicks on my gigs  go down and down although I have good reviews and raiting

    Took a glance at your profile. I'm impressed, you definitely have both the talent and skill (as opposed to far too many who pop up on Fiverr).

    Honestly, I think the problem might be because your prices are too low. Maybe this topic could help you: 

    (I'm also going to add this one, because, while $5 isn't nothing, it's still so low that for the skill you clearly have, it might as well be 'free'.)

    Thank you) Hmm, I didn’t think about it in a such way)
