Hi Lena! Just wanted to thank you for all your help on the threads I called you over to! You are awesome! 🤩

Hi @vickiespencer! Great job getting your seller intro video done! 👍 Looks professional!

Wahoo! My post limit has been removed! 🥳🎉

I have to be more careful about how I spend my posts for the day:

Hi @vickiespencer,

I'm out of posts for the day:

On briefs:

I have my minimum budget for briefs set at $200 and this works better than when I was in the $50-$100 range. I also changed how I approach briefs - I used to submit offers but now I only contact the buyers. This has been really effective for me because usually, the brief lacks detail and the amount doesn't match what I'd like to offer the buyer. I find buyers are just happy that someone actually read their briefs and responded differently (most will just send an offer at their prices).

By responding to their criteria/requirements, asking questions, and sharing relevant portfolio pieces, buyers often respond and ask me to create custom quotes different from the amount they posted. For example, most briefs are set for $200, but I had a buyer accept a custom offer tailored to their needs at $325.

I also think you have to limit what types of orders you want to get through briefs. I only plan on getting resume or pitch deck orders and reject/mark everything else as "I don't offer this service" (even if I do have a gig for it).

Hi @ahmwritingco!

I saw you recently popped up in the Lounge and wanted to send you a private message (but couldn't). It looks like you have been in the forums for some time. 😊 I just wanted to e-meet you and learn more about the writing services you are offering on Fiverr. Please feel free to send me a message to my inbox on the forum. Thanks!

Hey Ashley! Long time no see! How are things going?

Our Hawaiian vacation 🏖️🌴just turned into a family move ...so we are moving to the Big Island of Hawaii in less than 27 days! 😲

Today marks the 1-year mark since I posted my first gig on Fiverr! 🥳🎉

Just wanted to let people know they can post messages to me here as a status update instead of my inbox (which I just disabled). I don't want to delete messages all the time to make space for more messages. I hope you understand! Thanks!

@imagination7413 & @williambryan392 - Do any of you know why I'm post-limited again?

I noticed that lately, a lot of my messages have been "hidden," requiring a m0d to approve the content before it gets posted on the forum. I think you two have approved some of those messages, so maybe you know why I'm post-limited again. I don't see any warnings on my account.

I lost access to the Seller Plus forum, too.

I also lost "Anonymous mode." 

This isn't an urgent request - I just want to know if I've been posting anything that might have triggered the system. Thanks for all your help!

Hi @smashradio, quick question ... one of those Fiverr Business buyers who blocked me earlier unblocked me to send sneering remarks about how he found a better seller (and to take up more of my time). So I decided to block him. However, I only reported him (with the request to block him). So he is currently not blocked and it has been more than a day since I made the request. Isn't there an immediate way to block someone? Do I mark him as spam?

(note: I think this is the only status update I can make while post-limited, so I'll respond back when I can!)

Thanks for your help!

Hi @ahasan6541, you can talk to me on the forum or post a status update on my profile. I can't always write private messages because I'm limited to how much I can post a day. This is what I get when I try to send you a private message:

You can send me messages via status replies or on the forum. Hope to chat with you there. Thanks!

Vickie

(note: I'm trying to post here because it won't let me reply to your status replies on my own feed. I guess I only can make one status update a day.)

Thanks for making me feel young, @vickiespencer! ❤️ My kids love to point out how old and short I am (4'10"). My son is a good head taller than I am. Thankfully, I'm still taller than my 9-year-old daughter (but not for long - she is two shoe sizes larger than I am).

As for your red lines on your track changes document, I wonder why it only works when you attach the documents one at a time. Maybe it's related to the version of MS Word used? I haven't had that issue before. I've only had issues when my buyers are Mac users. I'm glad you figured out how to make it work!

I think the slowdown in your orders may be related to private reviews, or just coincidental. If your buyers were selecting any other option than "I need revisions," Fiverr CS would contact you right away (within a day) to issue a warning. They take those answers very seriously.

@gelmas12, that picture you posted of Ukraine made me really sad! I hope you are okay over there! Please take care! 😟

(Sorry, I am past my 5-post-a-day limit. But I can post on someone else's status).

Hi @dennysshawn, I just saw your post, but can't answer it because I've exceeded my 5-post-a-day limit. I can reach out to you via a status update though!

Here's your post yesterday:

Hi fam,
I'm just wondering, does Fiverr hate when you deliver again after making your first delivery? Will your impressions go down? I have done that a couple times when I realize I made a mistake and choose to deliver again.

Based on my experience, there are no penalties if you deliver then redeliver. In fact, the month I used that delivery button the most was the month I also had the highest impressions and highest orders (I'm sure it's not related, though).

I haven't used the delivery button as much since I stopped offering unlimited revisions. This makes my life a lot easier and I have less cancelations. I'm happy to see that you don't offer unlimited revisions!

Keep up the good work! You have great reviews on your profile! 😊

Vickie

Welcome back, @williambryan392!!! Of course you had to return to the forum after I exceeded my 5-post-a-day limit (this includes private messages). I do get 1 status update in addition to that limit, but it wouldn't let me reply to yours. Sorry! All I can do is "react" right now. I'll try to chat with you tomorrow!

Note: Yay! It let me post this! It looks like I get the following each day: 5 posts (private messages included) + 1 status update + 1 status reply (to someone else's status update ... I already replied to someone else's today).

Hi @dannykojima1! Thanks for the links to the free stock images. I'll try to play around with them in Photoshop and see what I can come up with! 😊

Also, I saw your post about leaving the forum! I'd hate to see you permanently deleted! Just ignore your forum account (instead of deleting it) and when you remember us, you can just pop back in to the conversations!

Note: I'm posting here because I forgot that private messages are included in my 5 post-a-day limit. So I couldn't reply to you there.

Hi @williambryan392! 

I know it's been a month or so since you've gotten it, but I just wanted to congratulate you on becoming a Pro seller!!!

Yesterday, I purchased Adobe's Creative Cloud All Apps subscription for only $29.99/month for the first year (normally it’s $55/month)!

I immediately downloaded Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere Pro, Animate, & Audition. These apps will help me with the design work that I do to create forms, resumes, ebooks, presentations, ecourses, and short videos.

I’m so excited that I can finally learn how to use these Adobe products! Up until now I have been limping along using MS Office programs, Canva, and a smorgasbord of “free” apps on a variety of devices to do all of my design and videos for my Fiverr projects.

I need to spend less time on the forum and more time learning these Adobe products! 😅

Almost done updating all 7 of my gigs! I've restructured the two that are the biggest source of order cancelations and will see if my efforts make any difference.

All I have left is to update all the gig videos (removing the part that offers unlimited revisions and making other necessary edits). Hopefully I can get those done by next week. I look forward to not having to touch up my gigs again for another 6 months!

I know I said I would try to limit myself to 2-3 posts a day (so I could avoid issues with being post-limited), but this is really hard!

I have been using up all 5 posts lately. It's a tough balance:

• I want to be able to answer questions on the forum, but if someone responds, then another reply would then use up one of my posts the next day.
• Also, I like to initiate conversations, but am limited in how often I can contribute to the conversation.
• And if I'm busy in current conversations, I don't have any posts left to join in on new conversations.
• Also, I did ask someone to private message me so I could help troubleshoot their issue, but I can't respond to their private message because PM's are included in the 5 posts I have each day.

I know this time as a forum newbie is a probationary time, where I should be learning rather than posting, and I shouldn't feel like I deserve to post more than the 5 post that I have. So I'm trying not to feel left out and am trying to use my reaction buttons as much as I can. My apologies to forum members like @smashradio @mariashtelle1, @theratypist & @miiila who may wake up one morning to see spammy notifications of 100 likes coming from me. It's the only unlimited way for me to really react to your content!

This message is for @dannykojima1 again, because I'm post limited so I can only do status updates on my own profile, but not yours!

https://community.fiverr.com/profile/688898-dannykojima1/?status=4586&type=status

Here's what I tried to post on your status update with the fun WWE style Fiverr logo:

How fun! You're so creative @dannykojima1!

What would your ring name and signature moves be if you were a pro wrestler on the Fiverr marketplace? I guess since I proofread I could be the "Red Pen Scrutinizer" or simply "The Scrutinizer." And my signature moves could be the "Eraser" or "Mark Up." 😂 I'm not too creative with names! 

☀️Happy Summer Solstice! 😎

Yesterday was the hottest day of the year in Japan!

More hot (and humid) days to come!

We have a lot in common @dannykojima1! I think we were in 4th grade the same time and I wear hearing aids too (since I was 4). The last time I checked my ears I had moderately-severe hearing loss in both ears (but that was 10 years ago). I noticed my ears have been getting pretty bad over the past year, so that's one reason why I've switched from teaching English to Fiverr. It's a lot less stressful.
