Hi Rudra!
I understand Your situation and how You feel. Simply I wanna say I don't have cracked how buyer Requests works, but I think I know atleast some of the things and wanna share my experience with buyer requests. I just promoted to Lvl 1 Seller today before that buyer requests were also rare to me. When I created my account and made 2 GIGs of Portrait Retouching, background Removal, I thought it will be easy to get orders now. I also checked Buyer Requests - but the way I used to do in the first month was checking it 1-2 times a day or not even check. I still remember I even contacted customer support team for this and they explained me I am new seller for now, it will take some time but the tip they gave me was checking them frequently. I just started doing it but still not that much, it increased from 1-2 to 5-6 times a day. I used to see 1 buyer request in 2-4 days. I had sent 20-30 buyer request but not even got a reply. When I got replay from one request and got a sale I remember for 2 Days I saw 2-3 buyer requests each day as then I was excited and maybe that's why I checked buyer Requests too much that I got to see them.
My experience says when You have completed a order with good Ratings you will see buyer Requests a little, but when there is any ongoing order You will find decrease in thier appearing.
I wil highly recommend this - check buyer requests in 15 mins, 2 hours, 5 hours and so. Simply check them frequently, I feel the algorithm is made in a way that it let us see some buyer request when we check them frequently as this behaviour simply tells that we are potentially looking for work.
- I feel there is no perfect timing to check buyer Requests. Just check them Frequently, also when You go to check them also spend 2-5 mins on the site. Check for analytics or do whatever Just spend some time.
- How many and how frequently You will see a buyer request also depends on your Niche. For example when my brother started app development GIG he instantly started to see 3-5 buyer request and that also frequently.
- Repeat Hire rate may also effect the appearance of Buyer Requests.
- If You feel that being all day online will help you see more buyer Requests them You may be wrong. Fiverr know that some people use some extensions to be all day online. That's why I feel those who stay all day online are kind of blacklisted by Fiverr, but not sure.
I hope this helps and sorry for My long story but the funny thing is I was going to explain My Complete journey.
Rudra keep Yourself calm this time is very Precious, keep learning as when You get Orders You don't have time to learn. So Always spend time wisely.
My niche is Graphic Designing, what's Yours?
If I am right I never got a single sale from the Impression and clicks on my GIGs, although got some queries. Maybe I have got 1 sale or 2 but not more than that.
Thanks!
