  1. Those are spam. Don't engage those.
  2. Oh, come on. Did you really have to try to hijack the thread with a misplaced bid to get orders? This is not the place for that.
  3. Wouldn't it be niche specific for seasonality? Plenty of companies have cyclical trends, but I would have thought Fiverr, being both global and diverse with it's revenue generation would be mostly immune to seasonality. I've never stopped to look at their 10-K filings enough to know if this is true or not.
  4. I looked at your profile and gig and only two things jump out at me at first glance. You have a 3-hour response time. Probably best to get that down to one. You might consider updating your tags. you are allowed five and you only have four. The four you do have are repetitive to your gig title, which Fiverr recommends against. They say to have different keywords in your tags because doubling up on them does no good, and that the tags are the 2nd most important search criteria.
  5. You have the possibility of getting more orders and being presented to relevant customers, absolutely no guarantee this is going to happen. Gig promotion is not a magic bullet, it is just one of multiple ways for Fiverr getting you in front of prospective clients. At that point, it is up to you to be a good businessperson.
  6. Clearly these people did not read the post. Sellers, your forum activity does not impact your gig in any way. Zero. Nothing. Nada. You could post one million times and not get one additional view of your gig. They are completely de-coupled? Is that clear enough? For the OP, what were you doing before that helped you get new buyers, or what did you change that might have caused the drop? Try to do a differential analysis.
  7. Don't use tricks, use proven business techniques. As a business owner you should learn these. I recommend starting with basic business knowledge which can be gained from many sources, and combine that with the many resources Fiverr has for sellers.
  8. Are you in the seller plus program? If so, reach out to your success manager. Also, read the endless posts on how posting on social media is a complete waste of time if it isn't a very targeted post to your core audience, and we all know the buyer requests are basically garbage, so I wouldn't hang your hat on either of those. I tried finding your name as a seller but you must be using a different one so I can't see your gigs to be able to give anymore insight.
  9. There are many, many threads on this topic, including the one linked below. As the others have said, short story is, buyers can click "buy" without ever having looked at a word on your gig. For 90% of the cases, I support this type of commerce.
  10. Absolutely right. Fiverr is in the business of removing barriers to customers placing orders, not building them. Can you imagine the massive revenue hit they would take if ever transaction required prior consultation?
  11. Pitiful. Hijacking someone else's thread with a worthless advertisement for your own gig. Which, your post says "help" which can only be assumed to mean you need help, yet your gig says you are an advertising expert. Double-pitiful.
  12. Happens to me on Chrome all the time. Try using Edge, that works much better for me.
  13. You have "professional" spelled wrong in multiple gigs, so that won't be found when a customer searches. It is only my opinion, but I always shy away from the "I will do any kind of..." Fiverr gigs should be very niche oriented so you can target your customer base. The gig photo on your primary gig is not very good. Nothing about it makes me want to click. Your profile description has several punctuation and grammatical errors, and you lead with talking about data entry, but your primary gig is photoshop...........confusing You can add 5 search tags and you are only using 4. They are also repeating photoshop words when they should be using other terms. Fiverr clearly states to not duplicate words between your gig title and search tags.
  14. If you are referring to not getting the buyer request notifications pop-up's, same thing has happened to me starting a few days back. Notifications are turned on, but they no longer pop-up. I rarely use them anymore, so I haven't bothered reaching out to CS.
  15. Fiverr is not going to market you if you aren't making them money. It is a harsh reality, but if you take time off, you aren't going to get the same level of impressions.
  16. You seriously messed up on this. You are at extreme risk of getting sanctioned or banned. It is 100% your duty to fully understand the terms and conditions.
  17. If you have a relationship with regular customers, it might be worth explaining what happened. Don't spam them, of course, but it sounds like you are in the seller plus program, so when you send a coupon say something along the lines of a one-time confluence of life events caused some unexpected consequences and delays. You don't have to gravel or apologize, but frame it in a good light and let them know you are back on your feet and ready to do the same great work as always. Of course, in the future you have to get ahead of the issues and create longer lead times, or pause your gig, or whatever else that is less destructive, but for now that train has left the station.
  18. Clearly didn't read the OP comment. This is the same worthless information given every day and 100% why people from certain areas can never dig themselves out of the muck. So your suggestion is to wait instead of being proactive? Good luck with that. OP, you are a business owner. What have you done to help your own situation?

    Pro seller

    Your account shows no sales so far. I'm certainly not on the decision board, but I would find it hard to believe they would give that designation to someone with not even one sale on the platform yet.
  20. Set expectations with your team that Fiverr is a HYPER competitive platform which can require a lot of time to build a client base Be realistic if you have a customer base here. I'm probably not your target audience, but Fiverr would not be where I would go for architectural or design work. You have no profile description Take a look at your keywords for your gig. "English" probably isn't going to pick up a lot of people looking for your service. That's kind of a generic way of getting English speaking people, but Fiverr works off of niche keywords. as @imagination7413 pointed out, don't overly discount your prices. Would you go to an automobile salesperson who advertised new cars for $1000, or the one who advertised realistic prices with good supporting material.
  21. I checked out your profile and gigs and they are all over the place. I have absolutely no idea what you are trying to sell. And if I don't, neither will anyone else. You say you are an electrical engineer with a history of working in media. I have no idea what value this brings to anyone. That's like me saying I have a degree in physics with a history of making homemade wine. Your number one gig title is "I will do anything for you from Mumbai India". I'm sorry to be harsh but this may be the worst gig title I have ever seen. Are you going to wash my car for me? Do a voice over? Build a rocket for Mars? Fiverr is all about being specialized. You are shooting yourself in the foot with that kind of generalization. You know Sanskrit Again, what is the point? Unless you have a gig about translating Sanskrit, this does nothing but make you feel self-important. It is going to be basically impossible for you to get any traction without a highly niche specific specialty, for which you are very highly qualified. Unfortunately, I think you need to step back, figure out what you want to do, what you are good at, and re-write from the beginning.
  22. I honestly want to know if you even believe this, or if you are just repeating what you hear. This is ridiculous, irrelevant, and ignorant advice. I am honestly exhausted at trying to tilt at these windmills. The comment "share on social media" is the most useless comment that can be made on this forum.
  23. What is your business case? I see no upside for Fiverr to do this.
