  1. The ability to convert leads cannot be pinpointed to just a gig's image. An appealing image will get someone to click on your gig, but what you write in your gig description is more important. If you can write a compelling sales pitch, you're more likely to convert leads — and make more sales. You can get 10 clicks, but if those clicks are not impressed by your gig description, or if you get 1 click and convert that lead with a properly written gig description, you will win an order. That is, if you have enough reviews to win over buyers who don't chat with you before ordering, if you have a good gig image and a perfectly well-written gig description but you respond in broken English to an inquiring buyer, you won't be able to convert that lead as well. A carefully written description is more important, as it will help you get listed by Fiverr's algorithm. You'll need a good image to grab their attention. It is then up to your ability to communicate.
  2. My response rate just dropped by 1%. Two people have sent me messages and I have "report spam"ed them straight away and they went into my spam folder without my response. The customer service representative was able to tell me exactly who I hadn't replied to so that I could check. I will admit that it is my fault for not responding to their initial text because I see the hallmarks of a spammer straight away. In the future, I will always greet a spammer first before reporting him or her.
  3. Set your status to "Away" for one year. Your account will not be deactivated, and your gigs will not go missing; however, you will lose the algorithmic advantage when you return after some time away, but if you are an established seller with tons of good reviews, you will bounce back quickly. Setting "away" will protect you from losing your level and/or algorithm while you are away.
  4. Although you can establish a maximum number of revisions in your order, it is possible for the buyer to request more revisions even after the maximum has been reached. I have had an order with continuous revision requests without any actual revision instructions that went on for over a full month. If they actually enforce the revision limit counts, I will think this is a good idea.
  5. Although I do not feel that I am successful at this point, it is good to be offered. Good to get some kind of recognition by the algorithm that I am doing something "right"
  6. I think the problem is that most of my reviews are for a side gig that became popular, and my review rate is low (under 60 percent). Congrats again for the TRS
  7. I think the same. I am wondering what the requirement of the revenue is, technically speaking. Advanced pay I believe is the one that works like a "loan".
  8. Many people could be eligible for top seller status, but they aren't promoted. If you have been following the forum, you will know that it is a manually vetted process. Personally, I think that sellers must have a certain number of reviews / sales before they can be considered for promotion, but I can't be sure. They didn't remove the option of receiving "early payout", you will get the option if the delivery was accepted by the buyer, and you won't if it "auto completes". I have not received the "advanced pay" option either, despite doing well this year that I am considering a full-time switch for next year. I have not received any buyer's brief before either.
  9. Yeah, was wondering what to do with "Let's talk about..." without starting the conversation.
  10. I got my first few orders by responding to buyers' requests and my first organic order after approximately four months. My business has always been slow until I reach level two, which took me twelve months. You can use this as a benchmark rather than wondering why your business is slow. It is helpful to set your profile to "online" at all times, because clients who are searching for a product or service will tend to choose the first seller who responds. This approach works best in the beginning when you're still building up the business.
  11. I've been here for about two years now, and I think I have a pretty good grasp on most of Fiverr's features. Brief is still a bit of a mystery to me though. I think it'll be a good thing if it works better than browsing pages of buyer requests. All I hope is that it's easier.
  12. If you have been reading all the friendly opinions above, you will know that there is nothing anyone can do for you, except to wait for it to come back or if it's your "turn."
  13. No. Generally, you should not and the work you do for someone else is protected by confidential rights. However, lots of people do it anyway. As long as you don't list it on your gig or anywhere online, you should be okay. When it comes to web design, many sellers create a website of themselves and use it (their self website and not a client website) as a sample link to the client. When you deliver an order, it's a good idea to take a screenshot of the index page. Clients can use this to show off your work if they review and it will automatically appear in your portfolio.
  14. I have 12,000 impressions and 137 clicks, with a conversion rate of 0.06%. I'm certain that there are other sellers who perform better than me, but I think you can agree that 137/12,000 is a low click rate. I am happy with the numbers of my order at the very low click rate of 1.14% tho.
  15. It is not uncommon for Fiverr sellers to go through periods of order drought and busy periods. On the forum, some people call it "gig rotation," where Fiverr gives other sellers an opportunity to get orders, after sometime you will be "popular" again. I experienced this a few times, usually it took 7-30 days for my impressions to return to normal. The longest time it took me was 65 days where I received very few impressions and no orders. I didn't alter my gig and one day it became popular again.
  16. Your gig image is fine. However: Spelling mistake: details (not deatils) I think your gig title could be improved by revising the wording and rewriting the sentence to make it more comprehensible. I will do perfect data entry,copy paste,web research I will design and create shopify website design build shopify store Like this two, it's just
  17. Get paid for what? Your gig image is just fine. The impressions counts don't really mean a lot. A few weeks ago, I received 18,000 impressions in one week but received zero queries; when that number decreased to 7,000, my queries increased to 3-5 per day.
  18. Fiverr offers seller "promoted gigs" from time to time. The promotional gig may be awarded to sellers on a rotating basis, or sellers may be disqualified if their performance is deemed unsatisfactory. If your average selling price is $100, but another seller can sell the same service for $150 (due to a higher perceived value or better customer reviews, for example), the algorithm will give that seller an added advantage. I was stripped of my "promoted gigs" for over 65 days (Mar - May 2022) and I got it back. I'm sure you will get it back too.
  19. type: www.fiverr.com/(your old id name) Like mine, it's www.fiverr.com/strategist_ceo If it is there, you can login to use it. Do make sure you delete your 2022 account tho, you can only have one.
  20. Your experience has been different from mine (so far), and I thought they did so for level 2 sellers (my guess). Many people whom I didn't reply to over a certain number of hours were marked as spam, to the extent that sometimes there is an actual seller that was marked by the algorithm. Some people who inbox me also appear to have been placed in the spam folder automatically. They seem to be scammers too. My opinion is that when enough users mark a seller as "spammer" or problematic, they will be automatically diverted.
  21. Scammers can be easily identified, and I always respond by creating an offer that says "entertain scammers" or "contact outside of Fiverr" with a price tag of $9999. If they are willing, I'll do it as the order.
  22. I am not asking you to lower your price. I am just asking you to set a "low price" for the basic gig that no one will purchase, like I do with my $20 (for a "consult") and most clients end up with an order of $100 and above.
  23. And you did just that! Lots of kind people around~
