I'm going to see if I can do this while post-limited...
@nomuffinsforyou, you had a question on orders in queue. Basically, when a buyer places an order AND fills out the order requirements the timer on the order starts. That's why I moved my delivery times to two weeks for resume orders even though I can complete most in 2 days. I had to, because there was a time I was getting 11 orders a day (all with the same delivery dates). Other things you can do is extend the delivery dates for each order, have the buyers hold off on submitting their order requirements until you are ready to get started, or limit the orders in queue.

I limit the orders in queue to how many I can handle simultaneously! But yes I did increase my delivery time and it makes it look like I draw for a really long time (30 days o_o) but I put in my FAQ so people understand that I draw with a queue system and I will update them whenever they ask for progress! But if someone wants theirs drawn ASAP they can have the fast delivery thingy so I work on theirs immediately.
Idk if this is a good system or not but I will try and see if it works 😮

Yesterday, I increased my gig prices for my resume writing gig again and I got my first order today with the new prices! The buyer didn't talk to me, just placed an order. 🎉
Pricing myself right has been the hardest thing for me. I started all my gigs at $5. I was still averaging $15 per resume order in April, but increased prices so I was averaging $100 per order in May. Now with my increased prices, I'm hoping I can increase my average selling price again for June.
This is a nerve-wracking process, but necessary to grow the business. One gig down, six more to go...

I finally started to slowly update my gigs! I removed all seven gig videos that mentioned "unlimited revisions." I replaced the gig images. I'm going through each gig one at a time to make all the necessary updates to the gig and the video. Hopefully it won't take too long to complete everything!

Tonight's dinner: Taco Rice! It's a thing in Japan. Basically it's a bowl of hot rice covered with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, taco meat, cheese and ketchup on top. 🥰
It's not as good as Oisix (Japan's version of Hello Fresh). We get our weekly order of Oisix tomorrow, so we had to settle with taco rice today.
Edit: I don't know why I can post status updates, but not status replies when I'm post-limited! I just tried to do a status reply before this status update, but was denied! 🤔

Here's an interesting fact I found out today: On Fiverr, I am 67% seller and 33% buyer.
Although Fiverr is my main source of income, I bought 76 gigs within the last 6 months (which is about 12-13 purchases a month). So I can definitely see myself being a more active buyer on Fiverr, especially for things like art, design, and writing.
Anyone else actively buying on Fiverr?

Does anyone else lose track of time when working exclusively online?
Every day seems the same to me now (currently working 7 days a week until I can figure out how to work weekends into my schedule).
Mondays used to be my favorite and most productive day because after a refreshing weekend, I would be 110% recharged to tackle the week.
Tuesdays would be the worst because that's when reality would hit.
Wednesdays marked the halfway point, so of course my motivation levels would bounce back up.
Thursdays and Fridays would also be high motivation days (but not necessarily highly productive days).
Saturdays and Sundays were always off. I'm trying to get my weekends back now!
(FYI...I just found out I can post a status update while I'm post-limited, but I couldn't reply to @brillzart's status update)
