    I'm convinced the algorithm is nuts.

    in My Fiverr Experience

    Posted

    I'm sure an online marketplace such as Fiverr would be serving dynamic search results based on many variables. 

    For an example: so many others must've gotten a "helluva" nice tip with a 5-star review at the same time you did. 

    I thought a non "$5 "expart" seller" would know that.

    "For the last 5 days I sat on page 1, top row of my vertical,"

    Pro tip: Search your gig in an incognito window, or mobile app multiple times, and you'll be surprised.

    I will remove 100 image backgrounds professionally in 24hours

    in Starter Questions

    Posted

    There are so many resources on this forum regarding this topic. And I don't understand why you had to just copy+paste your gig title here 😕

    Anyway... Here are a few suggestions from me.

     

    1. "I will remove 100 image backgrounds" can be a bit confusing. You could perhaps use something like "I will remove background from 100 images in 24 hours"
    2. The gig description is a mess. All text is bold. When was the last time you read your own description?
    3. Starting the description with "Hi Dear" is not professional at all.
    4. "Before ordering I will do a free sample image" Why???
    5. "Unlimited revisions" Nope!!!
    6. "Money-back guarantee" How???

     

    Phrases like "I'm sure if you will work with me just one time then you will be selected for your next Project." is a surefire way to get any client running the other way.

    Finally, I would suggest replacing that hideous thumbnail as you would not get any clicks with that current thumbnail once you figure out how to get impressions.

    In any case, background removal is so easy to do nowadays, with so many free tools out there. So the demand for this service must be very low with so much of competition.

    Good luck!

    How i improve my Gig

    in Gig Advice

    Posted

    Part of your service package is:

    Quote

    1. SEO-friendly structure for better search rankings
    2. SEO optimization

    How can you provide these services to a client if you can't even SEO your Fiverr gigs to get impressions?

    Anyway... my advice:

    1. Optimize your gigs better and only offer what you can actually provide to a client.  
    2. Keep an eye out for your analytics every week and make adjustments as necessary.
    3. You could be competing for high-competition keywords. Research and see where the gaps are.

    Is they any way to check my Gig Ranking?

    Instead of focusing on gig ranking, you should focus on your impressions and clicks that they are increasing or dropping with the passage of time. That will tell you the performance of your gig. Gig ranking on search results are different for each user.

    How I Rank My Gig and Gain Order?

    in Gig Advice

    Posted

    Freelancing is not very different from any other business. Any business has a sales department that actively sells its products or services.

    If you're not getting any orders, you need to actively sell, see what your competition is doing, and learn from them to see where the gaps are.

    There are so many great resources on this forum written by seasoned vets. Read what they are saying, and put their advice into practice.

    Why not update your gig to ensure that you're keeping up with what's trending on the first page of your topic?

    Look at how your competitors have structured their gigs, look at what they're offering, and see whether your pricing is competitive compared to them. 

    Additionally, see what kinda gig images they're using, and see how you can improve your thumbnails to compete with them.

    Take inspiration from your competitors, but never copy them.

    Good luck!!

    Improve my Gig

    Welcome to freelancing! not getting orders seems to be one of the most asked questions from newcomers.

    Treat your freelancing career as a business.

    And what do NEW businesses need to do to make sales? They need to actively sell!!

    1. Are you actively selling your service?
    2. Researching for gaps in the market and ways to improve your gigs.
    3. Looking for ways to reach out to your target customer base?
    4. Keeping an eye on your gig analytics to monitor performance?

    There are so many articles on this forum that explain in great detail how we can do these things. I suggest going through them.

    Is Your Gig Image Optimized For Fiverr Mobile App? [Ultimate Size Guide]

    in Tips from Sellers

    Ha! This is the good kind of post the Tips for Sellers Category needs: I like seeing topics that hasn't been covered  countless times already, AND you included a visual example! 

    I'd actually started crafting a post like this right before Fiverr changed the recommended aspect ratio, but I'd still been researching/testing it and then the ratio was updated so my image became outdated. 

    I know... I had to jerry-rig my existing gig images to fit the new size before I got the time to create new ones. Please do share if you come across any new findings 🙂

    Is Your Gig Image Optimized For Fiverr Mobile App? [Ultimate Size Guide]

    in Tips from Sellers

    Posted

    We all know the current recommended gig image size is 1280x769px (Source). But have you guys noticed that your gig images look almost square due to side cropping on the mobile app?

    Fear not... I gotchu!!

    I've been experimenting... And I think I found the optimal content area size for the mobile app. This will ensure that all text in your gig image will be legible even on the mobile app.

    I created this template for you guys to use as a reference

    IMPORTANT: This is based on my own experience, and not officially verified by Fiverr. Just a little something that might help!

    P.S. I've included an inverted version for the dark-mode people as well (in case you want to save it for later) :D

    gigs not showing in searching feature

    in Starter Questions

    Posted

    I'm not sure how right or wrong I am about this. Please do correct me if I'm wrong.

    Something that I saw is that all your gigs have a similar looking image in the front. Maybe the algorithm flagged them all for being similar or duplicates? 

    Its a wild guess, but maybe helpful to you.

    Not Getting orders now adays

    Buyer requests will remain active for offers till the buyer decides to end it. For new sellers, the buyer requests are displayed only for a limited amount of time since priority to send offers are given to seller plus & sellers with level 1 and higher. Therefore, you'd want to respond to the buyer requests without refreshing the page.

    New Buyers should buy from Established Sellers

    These are advices for a brand new, never ordered before buyers. 

    Experienced and business buyers will do whatever they also do.

    You know what, I just went through some horrifying threads about buyers being mistreated by new sellers. Now I understand where you're coming from. I myself would stay away from NS after seeing that. 

    However, I'm proud to say that many of the clients I've served so far is brand new to the platform, And I have completed their projects in a way that is satisfactory for both of us. Which resulted in me getting repeat business from at least 90% of the clients I've served so far ❤️

    2. Look for sellers with at least 200 reviews. This will ensure the reviews are legit. Unfortunately, there are still scammers who buy or trade reviews.

    I agree with everything you've said (especially about the red flags) except for this.

    How would one build themselves up to a 200 reviews mark if every buyer in here would order from a seller with over 200 reviews? 😕
