    Can't new sellers get any opportunities?

    At this point, if I were you, I'd start questioning if I'm following the right advice AND selling products that people actually need/look for. 

    Think about it this way.

    If you do a search on the forum, you'll see that rank as it used to be doesn't exist. Search results are fluid - and part of what 'places' you is relevance (to the person doing the search) based on price, etc. - and the other is, well, performance (which is how you did on your previous orders, etc.) SEO is still important from what I understand, but it's not the deciding factor. The issue is that all of those things you've listed are very generic advice. What you need to do is find what works for you, NOW (so not based on 2-3 years old videos, etc.) 

    My advice to you to start with would be better gig images  - they aren't awful, per se, but as designer you could do miuch better. People will judge you based off your art, right? Many of your examples I could recreate in canva or photoshop within a few minutes - what stops potential clients from doing the same? Once you stand out amongst your peers, you have a chance. Right now, your gigs get LOST (no matter which page they are on.) 

    Competition. Fiverr considers SEO, yes, but also thinks about performance (which I know is partially why new sellers feel like they have little hope.) Fiverr isn't google (and so the same techniques won't work.) Buyer's request unfortunately was at the point where it caused more harm than good. If I'm being honest - new sellers will likely get more briefs as they get passed over (by more experienced sellers, etc.) or if they are relevant, but it's still a new system so it's hard to tell how that will work.

    Fiverr doesn't really 'favour' experienced sellers anymore than other engines favour sites that have proven to be more profitable. As mentioned before, when you first start your account, you get a pretty good boost that should be enough to get you seen at least. Once that fades, things get trickier, but not impossible.  In your case, I honestly would just try to niche down - maybe you can offer all these services for more specific target audiences? For example, my target audience is gamers (mostly) so I focus on writing for games and narrative design. (not SEO though, I know very little about that.) Maybe you can find a field that has less SEO writers and try from scratch? (I WOULD do research about this, but trying wouldn't hurt. 

    Your words are captivated me. Thank you for sharing your valuable words.

    I totally agree with @uzzal32. I'm also fighting with every techniques I found on the earth of internet but any of them don't work for me. 

    I'm an SEO expert. As a result, there is nothing left to optimize gig SEO. My gig performed in the 3rd page instantly after optimizing it.  But it doesn't go up anymore. I analyzed lots of gigs and found that most of the gigs aren't optimized but in the top position. I achieve a good rank on Google for my website against my SEO efforts but why it doesn't work on Fiverr?   Everyday I am suggested to improve gig SEO. But I got tried to hear this tip. Fiverr is totally different than search engines. I think there is only a effective way to get orders as a new seller, drive few clients from outside and earn some reviews which are quite difficult task.

    Finally, while survival on Fiverr is not impossible, it is difficult for new sellers. Never, ever give up hope.

    frequent gig edit

    Gig edting doesn't go against Fiverr T&C. You can edit your gig whenever you want. But if you keep editing simultaneously or keep changing in every minute of hour, then I think Fiverr may consider you as a bot. Your editing gig may derank for a few day whenever you hit to change. You never should change gig title. Because it hurts the gig a lot.
