I agree with @smashradio. There is always a reason. That said, 5 months in 5r 'purgatory' is still a very long time?

Just had a meet with my SM. She wasn't able to give too much away, as nothing has been announced yet, but confirmed that there will be 2 tiers. She said that I will be eligible for both (not sure that will be the same across the board), and that it will be implemented soon - whatever 'soon' means! Not much, I know, but a bit of an update!

I did not either. I was feeling left out until @smashradio said you did not get the email. Maybe we will not be invited to the Kool Kids Klub, @smashradio.
No email received here either - although as it happens, I've got a SP meeting tomorrow, so no doubt I'll find out then!

Too soon?
Ha! Not at all.
I'm sure we've all seen a lot worse. Think Epstein / Prince Andrew!!
@damooch916. That's good. I'm glad that's cleared up!-

@damooch916, I didn't mean to hijack your thread. Are you really having a go at me for going 'off topic' - it's hard to tell ??
I had read (most of) the content before I posted, so was fully aware of the context. However, If you truly feel that the arrival of a new king - has absolutely nothing to do with the death of a previous monarch, then I stand corrected & apologise profusely for entering the conversation. Indeed, if this thread bears no reference to events over here in the UK, and is merely a 'timing coincidence' then I stand doubly corrected. Regardless of whether "there are threads dedicated to the Queen’s passing and this isn’t one of them", I'll leave others to judge if the connection I made and my input to the topic was reasonable ...

...We're all a bit touched by the Queen's passing here in the UK if I'm honest. It's something we all knew would happen one day of course, but it's still hard to digest. We're a strange bunch us Brits. Whilst being completely irreverent to most types of authority, we've always (I would say 95% of the population) cherished the Queen and what she stood for. It's a bit of a contradiction.
I know that the Royal family is popular in other parts of the world and given that she was the longest serving head of state anywhere, also very news worthy. I wondered, are you still receiving lots of news coverage re the funeral and Charles III where you are / or has it all subsided now ??-

Well....I just got my 1st 'successful' brief (and resultant order). Buyer ordered - no quibbles, paid my full advertised rate. So far, so good!

I'm all for people finding comfort in life. Through religion, a shared belief, a sense of belonging, or whatever else floats your boat and gives you solace, balance and deep meaning to your life. Although I don't believe in most of it myself, if it brings happiness to an individual, then fair enough. It's the method of delivery that I can't get my head around... flogging it on 5r, just makes me laugh. But people are people and they will believe what they want to believe....
I'm going to buy one of these gigs and ask to cast a spell to win the lottery - I'll let you all know what happens!!!!

@moikchap, one hour each session - so it's a good workout. I'm in my 50s now, so I will probably have to cut back a bit soon! It's the recovery rate that's the thing - and what is leaving me as I get older. Some days, when I wake up in the mornings after a game, it takes me 1/2 an hour to cross the kitchen to make a coffee!
Thankfully though, being a VO artist and working from home, I don't have to struggle too much to get to work!!-

I am proud of the fact that I am ageing ...disgracefully! I eat what I like, with an eye for healthy living, but I'm not governed by it. I have however done a lot of exercise over the years and continue to do so - I still play 5 a side (soccer) twice, three times a week, so that definitely keeps the weight in check. But as for worrying about 'putting on a bit' here and there, turning grey, or losing my hair - nah, I don't worry about it!

All of the above. Also, so that you don't have to disseminate every enquiry - why not set up some quick replies to cover most scenarios in your niche. All in perfect English of course. That in itself, will save you a lot of time and heartache. Good luck.

My goodness - given the volume of orders and income some of these sellers are getting, I should create a gig for that too!!
Seriously though, does anyone know (briefly) how this works on 5r - surely any positivity recommendations can be replicated for any customer and no buyer would be any the wiser?? Or am I missing something? I wait to be enlightened.-

but it would make sense to limit the service to the sellers bringing in the most dough for Fiverr.
Agreed - I doubt there's any other metric that really comes into the equation in all honesty.

Given that new sellers hit the BRs section with a vengeance when they start on 5r, primarily to get some form of traction - it will be interesting to see how 'briefs' , or whatever this ends up being called, actually works. If all this new 'feature' means is that the dross is sent to your inbox, rather than having to wade through it on BRs, then I have to ask, why bother? But it will also mean that because it's in your inbox - you've 'GOT' to reply to it, otherwise your response rate will suffer.
I really hope it's not going to be the same pile of poo - but just with a slightly different aroma!-

I just tried to sign up for a success manager and I was told I'm not eligible for the Seller Plus program. How does one become "eligible"? I've searched the web and couldn't find a concrete answer. Hoping you can tell me more?
I think, once you apply, it's simply a matter of 'waiting' to be invited. Or until you become 'eligible'. Whatever that means?? You can't jump the queue etc etc....

I think visiting the 5r forum is an experience on par with self flagellation. It's painful, but we're always hoping there's ultimately some benefit as to why we do it!

Does this replace Buyer Requests or compliment it?
My understanding is that they will run in tandem, at least in the short term. My experience with 'Briefs' has been poor - only received 1 message in about 6 months, so if that is the replacement for BRs, I'm not holding out much hope for any dramatic improvement. We shall see!

I did the test - I think I only scraped through if I remember correctly! That said, I did 'skim' through it rapidly and ended up arguing with so many of the questions - e.g. That which may be correct in a text book may not be correct in modern day conversational English. Plus, I'm British and I probably got bits wrong given that it may have been focused on U.S. English. At least I passed, although the algo probably thinks that English is my 2nd language now!

Crikey! I'd better watch what I say from now on!
Seriously, you all have more or less done it up to now anyway - so it's good that it's been made official. Best of luck.-

As @smashradiohas said, there are multiple posts about this on the forum if you look. At the end of the day, it is only $29 and you can cancel after 1 month if you are unhappy with it - so just try it!

It's not ! Simple answer. Nor is posting endless drivel on the forum just to help your 'rank', or for example, asking the same question that's been asked a 1000 times before!!

...I certainly think that the $10 mentioned here, or any nominal amount, is a bit of a red herring. It costs a lot more than that to purchase a laptop & pay for internet access etc! To be honest, the amount of time some people spend spamming this forum, they could probably have gone out, got a job and earned that!
As @smashradiohas said, this is a business and it needs to be treated seriously. The vast majority of forum members who post banal, repetitive stuff with such regularity, I truly wonder if they treat it as such - or as just a game.
Sorry to be harsh, but I doubt other user forums 'owned' by massive corporations worldwide operate like this one.-

An Open Letter To Success Managers
in Lounge
Posted · Edited by fiveroptic1
Well I'm glad it's not just me @newsmike!! My personal 'fall off a cliff' happened around that time. I consulted my SM, who said that my private feedback was good. So, I was told was to change my gigs, metadata etc and see what happens. My issue is, why change something when it was working perfectly before?? What EXACTLY am I meant to change and more to the point, why?? Above all, if my gigs were producing results 'yesterday' why are they now not working today?? So, I share your exasperation Mike - with no in depth reasoning or rationale from SMs as to the cause - how on earth can we go about correcting it?? For $29 a month, I too expect something a bit less arbitrary, random & opaque - a bit more than frankly, what is available to any seller on the platform. Seller Plus really ain't fit for purpose as things stand....
