[Tips on starting out as a newbie, how do i increase my impression or improve my gigs performance?]

On 6/8/2023 at 4:06 PM, kevin_etugala said:

Congratulations on starting your freelancing journey on Fiverr! The number of orders you receive within the first few weeks can vary greatly depending on several factors such as your gig visibility, competition, and market demand. It's not uncommon to receive a relatively small number of orders in the beginning.

To improve your performance and attract more orders, here are some suggestions:

1. Optimize your gig: Ensure that your gig title, description, and tags are optimized with relevant keywords that potential buyers might search for. Highlight your skills, experience, and the value you can provide to clients.
2. Showcase your portfolio: If you have any previous work or samples related to your gig, include them in your portfolio section. This will give potential buyers a glimpse of your capabilities and increase their confidence in hiring you.
3. Offer competitive pricing: Consider offering competitive pricing for your services, especially in the beginning. This can help attract clients who are looking for good value for their money.
4. Promote your gig: Take advantage of social media platforms, forums, and relevant communities to promote your gig. Engage in discussions related to your niche and provide valuable insights to position yourself as an expert.
5. Provide excellent customer service: Deliver your work on time and maintain clear communication with your clients. Respond promptly to messages and address any concerns or questions they may have. Positive reviews and satisfied clients can lead to more orders and better visibility on the platform.
6. Seek feedback and improve: After completing orders, ask your clients for feedback. Constructive criticism can help you identify areas for improvement and refine your services.

Remember, building a successful freelancing career takes time and effort. Stay dedicated, continuously improve your skills, and adapt to the needs of your target market. Best of luck on your Fiverr journey!

AI will definitely take jobs, if folks use AI that way

Hi! This is my first time freelancing on Fiverr. I just started like maybe 3 weeks ago and apparently 1 person just contacted me looking to order yesterday. Is it normal  to get that amount of orders during that period? How can I improve my performance? Any suggestion is greatly appreciated. Thanks guys ❤️

[My Gig Denied with a reason Unfortunately, we had to remove your Gig as this type of service is currently not supported in our catalog. This decision was made after careful consideration and cannot be undone]

I am offering serivces of editing business documents, Scanned PDF to recreat and Edit these document according to my customers needs. Today I got a notification of Gig denied with a reason "Unfortunately, we had to remove your Gig as this type of service is currently not supported in our catalog. This decision was made after careful consideration and cannot be undone" There are already so many gigs offering this services then what's wrong with my Gig. I made it under Conver files category. Anyone can please help why this happened to me. I was even getting order on that gig.

I don't see any legal issue in such.

or may be you were editing documents that you weren't permitted to ? like fake certificates etc ?

Can you write description and title of gig ?

If confident that gig follows guidlines, better contact customer support.

 

For others, gigs are not monitored as there's millions of... But once reported, illegal gigs get doomed !

[If I edit a gig what will be the effect on other gigs of mine]

On 6/9/2023 at 12:21 PM, designerhasann said:

About 6 to 8 months ago I edited two of my gigs due to gigs being ranked down. After so long the impressions and clicks of both gigs are increasing little by little.

I have one more gig in another category with very poor impressions and clicks. Now I want to edit that gig.

My question is if edit this gig now, will it affect my other gigs which are growing a little bit? Should it be okay to edit the gig right now?

Thank you!

Editing gig in hope of impressions won't help

On fiverr, rank is all about performance

No need to edit. If want rank, perform better, see gigs analytics

[Trying To Benefit From Fiverr Seller Plus]

On 6/3/2023 at 5:56 AM, looseink said:

I've been a Fiverr Seller for several years. I've only come back in the past year to concentrate on rebuilding my freelance business here. I had some health issues that took me away for a period of time. I have completed almost 900 orders here in the time I've been a member. I just joined Seller Plus thinking it could help kickstart my freelance business. 

 

I've rebuilt six of my gigs, used the keyword tool and other tips to try to maximize what I'm doing here. Sadly, a month before I signed up for Seller Plus a buyer ordered two orders from me, but apparently did so by mistake and cancelled them on me. That bumped me down to a Level 1 Seller. I understand this happens, but I feel I'm getting penalized for a mistake I had nothing to do with. But that's beside the point.

 

Is Seller Plus a good tool? Does it help someone further their freelance career?

 

I'm sort of kicking tires here to see if I'm heading in the right direction. I don't expect to be flooded with orders in a week or two, but has it made any difference for anyone here?

 

Thanks!

I see your all gigs are new with low no. of sales

Where are older ones ?
 

New gigs are hard to rank. Better go with ones, that made you 680 reviews.

I just finished up an order with a client. After completing the order and leaving a review. The client  sent me a message "Thank you very much. I left a good review"
I do not know whether is right. Is this a problem that I should be worried of. Since the word "review" has been mentioned in the chat?

Asking for GOOD or 5/5 starred review is problematic, rules wise, offcourse.

 

Its their wish, whether they want to write or not. Shouldn't force.

Only suggest, if user is new to fiverr and isn't aware of feedback section.

I have completed two orders of WordPress and email template but whenever I type "email template" it gives a warning. But without it my work is not possible.

I needed WordPress logins, plugins logins (plugins websites like tidio, etc), and social links too to add them to the website or template.

If the buyer has no issue with it I hope so fiverr will not have please clear my issue

We appreciate your interest in becoming a freelancer on Fiverr. To meet the growing demand for high-quality services from trustworthy freelancers, we have carefully considered your profile and service. Unfortunately, we cannot approve your seller profile at this time.

There's too many spam accounts, so I believe fiverr set up bots to handle them, like upwork does

Solution, that work for me as well, when upwork wasn't accepting my profile, was using grammarly (correct grammer) and long descriptions, utilize every single option... to bypass bots...

3 hours ago, og_creatives_vo said:

So basically, as a voice actor, I've worked with studios and brands outside of Fiverr. Is it okay to show their logos in the Gig image, sort of like in a resume/ rate card?

My official rate sheet which I send to clients outside of fiverr contains the same information, including logos of said brands and studios. 

Your insight would be highly appreciated. 

yes, just make sure audio doesn't have sensitive information about client

or if it does, should take permission first

[Is there a way to sabatoge my account to force my level back down to 1?]

19 hours ago, ultramusicpromo said:

Ever since being "promoted" to Level 2 in January, traffic has been a complete joke, to the point of me considering discontinuing my services closing up shop altogether. It was literally night-and-day between Level 1 and Level 2, dropping about 75% in sales overnight, and it still hasn't budged since.

I've tried every tip and trick provided by the community to tweak my gigs, and nothing helped. It's incredibly surprising that Fiverr's algorithm punishes growing salespeople. Is there any way possible to demote my account to Level 1?

I've actually even considered making a 2nd account to place fake orders on my primary account, to purposely ignore them and force my "Inbox/order response rate, delivered on time, and order completion" percentage below 90% to drain my level. 

I also got promoted to level two in JAN, but my experience is different.

My traffic became 3x, and kept on increasing, income wise also...

But also note, all analytics were 100% green at that time. also all buyers were satisfied...

 

When demoted from level two to level one in MAR, 2K traffic lost

and even 2k more lost, when cancellation rate dropped to 90%

still income wise no effect, i have repeat buyers...

and ability to catch fishes from brief...

 

Also Fiverr likes one who charges more

Fiverr is not 5iver anymore

@grayprogrammerz - thanks so much for sharing this with us here. Is there anything we can try to do to support and help you with this matter about buyers?

I appreciate Yoav for willing to help. Currently, everything is fine on my end. ☺️

I suggested features about reviews system:
1. "Repeat buyer badge" on review, ability to write empty review for repeat buyers
2. Audio based reviews (so users can smoothly convey detailed feedback), which transcribed to text
3. 5 stars instead of 15 ("Recommend to friend","Service as described", "Seller Communication Level")

Implementing such features, will help me and my buyers a lot
Thank you!

[How do you think a seller should respond to someone asking them to visit a page via their link?]

On 5/26/2023 at 2:02 AM, amethystblac814 said:

I wanted to buy a gig/service. The price on the listing was USD 35. With the exchange and other relevant fees, that's $50, which is all I wanted to spend. That listing offered all I needed to get the job done. I discussed the purchase with the seller; he said he could do it as part of that gig. However, the price changed to $50 when I said I was ready to buy. I said no, I didn't want to pay that, given it didn't match the quoted price. The seller then reverted to quoting the listed price, but I did not buy it as trust had been broken.

Does Fiverr have terms prohibiting that kind of behavior--bait-and-switch? When I asked him why he tagged onto the price, as I felt maybe in his mind he had a reason that I wasn't aware of, he gave no response. 

I am voicing this to see what replies I get. 

You mean price on gig was $35 and when you discussed, seller quoted $50 ?

It do depends on service type. On fiverr, most services are CUSTOM. Not ready made or reselling item. So for every different work, seller do need to calculate CUSTOM budget.

Take my example. I'm software developer. and every software I wrote from scratch. and every time, challenge is different. Depending on time and efforts estimation, I generate quote.

May be for article writing, translation, proofread etc category different ? where you set exact rate. like XYZ words per $xyz.

 

Note there's also conversion fees, transfer fee $3 (as budget low than $50), %25 charged by fiverr.

So purchasing $35 gig, becomes almost $50.

 

I suggest better go posting your request on fiverr brief.

Mention budget is strict, no negotiation. and filter from who agrees.

[How to extend date if order is late for more than 60 days?]

19 hours ago, allahditta287 said:

Hi there,

My order is almost a year late. I cannot extend the date because the Fiverr can only extend up to 60 days. My client says he will cooperate with me because he agreed to work later when the order was getting late due to technical reasons. But I'm not sure If I cancel the order he will order again according to Fiverr TOS it will not affect my stats if buyers orders within 14 days.

I want to know, will Fiverr customer support help me extend the delivery, or I will have to cancel the order and ask the buyer to reorder? Which choice would be better?

Any support will be highly appreciated.

Had the same issue some months ago. Even I (seller) and client was willing, but fiverr wasn't.

QUOTING FROM CUSTOMER SUPPORT:

 

I suggest cancel this order. And ask client to reorder within 14 days.

If it does, penalty will be reverted. Again quoting from my old ticket:

I am waiting for my order since last 6 months but there is know solution. I have changed many things like description, images, tag and share my gig in social media but i didnt get any knock from client. But i got two spam knock from spamer.

I always tried online in fiverr after opening account.

What’s wrong with my account and why I am not getting order here, i need to know what’s wrong with me.

You have already waited 6 months and did everything you can...

Now whats strategy ? waste another 6 months ?
Fiverr may not be suitable for you. Try alternatives, learn new skills in meantime, upgrade existing, do internships(specially online ones)...

There's other folks as well on earth, earning WITHOUT FIVERR. Fiverr isn't everything

Right. But such limit also varies on monthly earnings and country.

For pakistanis, dollar rate is increasing month by month. So even pennies in usd are monsters in pkr.

I guess that's not case with china, right ?

 

and there's not much I can save with those strategies.

In my case, difference b/w $1000 vs $3000 is like saving $6-$10. hehe

[Private Buyer Reviews should be compulsory for all buyers before they can download the product]

There's one more issue

Repeat buyers occasionally purchase in a month but don't bother, even to write public review

They just complete order and runaway

If I was buyer, probably I think same 'Oh man! I don't have much blood to WRITE same mighty review again and again to same person in every month'

May be for repeat buyers, only stars and feedback OPTIONAL

Along with stars mention that "REPETITIVE BUYER", I believe the word "REPEAT" is enough to explain quality of service

 

Some even ask me to contact them on whatsapp/telegram, though they were valid buyers

Well I been speechifying about rules to them

But problem is, they bothers to WRITE, they want to SPEAK instead

Its 2023, AI is in trend. What about Voice to text feedback ?

 

Also that 3 row stars looks extra. Isn't one row enough ?

Buyers are in hurry, one buyer mistakenly clicked 4 stars and others 5. and result was 4.7

and now we won't be able to correct our mistake in life 😂

[Hacked Fiverr accounts ordering from me, leading to a refund/cancelation & me losing out on my money]

7 hours ago, failx_editz said:

Dear Fiverr team & sellers!

I currently have an issue, that is horrible for me as a seller.

Over the past few days, multiple people ordered my gigs, with everything being completed, all the way to receiving a 5-star rating. A couple of days later, these people text me, saying that their account got hacked, and they will contact Fiverr support for a refund. After that, they get their money back, while I, who has completed the work, received nothing. Empty-handed, despite delivering my work. This happened 5 times over the last three days, and I no longer feel comfortable selling on Fiverr with these circumstances. I am just about to be a Level 2 seller, and I can't believe that I have lost about 100€ recently, for delivering 5-star worthy work. Is there any way to verify, if my buyers are legit? How do you, dear fellow sellers, deal with this?

I contacted Fiverr support about 36 hours ago, but there has been no response

Thank you!

that's why I don't save income on fiverr

I just withdraw, as soon amount is enough

as environment has no stability, chargebacks, disputes...

 

Between for my personal knowledge, what's buyers location ?

Were they any new clients ? with no reviews ? and new account (check since:xxx date) ?

Hello Superstars of Fiverr,

I am providing amazon FBA related services on amazon and most the times I get orders related to product listing creation. A lot of information is needed in order to create a proper listing e.g weight, size, variation size, colors, material, images, country of origin and etc! 

It makes a mess for me to collect the data because the buyer are either inactive or inefficient in providing the info.

Am I allowed to share a word file with the requirements to be filled by the buyers so that I have all the information in an arranged form?

I am unable to add all the requirement in the gig because they are literally a lot.

Thanks, 

Your peer superstar,

Mickey

its hard to work when buyer response rate is slow

May be you can set auto reply something like:
```
Welcome {username}

Make sure you include:

- weight
- variation
...
```

whenever buyer first time messages, automated reply would be sent

and rest, less questioning may needed
