Those are test results. Not a sign of experience or expertise in your field. I have a swimming certificate from when I was 10 years old. I am not about to swim the Atlantic to America. To add value to the forum, you should be posting from YOUR experience. Not what you have read other people doing. Otherwise you have no way of validating what you have said.

You gig has presented website templates as if they were your own, there is no visual proof that you can design a website, so you're not delivering on what you advise on Your profile does not have a video. So you're not delivering what you advise on You gig descriptions. is a repetitive list that is seen on 99% of gigs. It's not catchy! You have not delivered on what you advise on As a website designer, I have no idea what your pricing strategy is. I have no idea why you would start with 3 pages and not a landing page. You also offer unlimited revisions without any experience on Fiverr. This is a big mistake. You have not delivered on what you advise about. So what's the point of posting if you don't do it yourself? I suggest you read this post, and only add advice when you have the experience to do so.

It's not up to you to decide if what you have done is 'best services' It's the customers. But ask yourself this. If what you delivered was truly exceptional and memorable then why didn't your customer feel compelled to leave a review.? The reality is that with only one sale, you can't possibly know what good is. It is also wholly possible that what you thought was a job well done has actually resulted in a poor private review. This could explain the drop in further orders. So here is some advise. Only claim that you're doing a good job if you have the reviews to back it up. Otherwise, what you're saying is solely down to your opinion, which naturally will be biased. Good luck with your journey

As @priyank_mod has said, it is most likely due to some industries being completely saturated with 'identical' gigs. The last time I looked, logo design / Graphic design represented nearly 1 in 4 of all freelancers on the platform. Is this the category you're trying to open a gig in? Fiverr isn't looking for repetition, it's looking for unique and innovative gigs. This means, that you should already have the skills, you already have a great looking portfolio of work and you can hit the ground running. It seems a lot of freelancers think they can set up a gig, then acquire the skills. Fiverr has rightly become savvy to this and going forward the platform is more stringent than ever. Using your location as an excuse is not acceptable. You need to look inward at yourself and the services you're offering

Damn. That'll teach me to do my research first 😀 The Welsh dragon looks for more menacing though 😃

Wales. The Smallest country in the UK, The birthplace of Tom Jones, Antony Hopkins and Dylan Thomas The only flag in the world to have a dragon on it! How amazing is that ? The 2nd longest placename in the world - Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch (Damn you New Zealand) And home to the coolest Castles on the planet. Over and Out 😀

Any customer that asks you to communicate or interact outside of the Fiverr platform is 'most likely' a scammer. There are some new customers that don't know how Fiverr works properly, but a simple Google search of Fiverrfast.com will tell you all you need to know. It's a scam!

Really? Why 4 minutes? I'm intrigued.

The OP is referring to the seller, why would they need to be paid? @jooms123 If you feel the seller is holding things up you can contact the resolution centre. 2 Months for a web design project seems excessive!

You're currently offline 🙂 Plus you're advise is completely flawed for someone who has only generated 7 orders in 3 years.

If you're a new website designer on Fiverr then read this I don't think a day goes by where I don't see a gig topic that starts with 'review my gig' or 'gig not ranking' from new web designers. So, while I have a few minutes spare, I thought that I would put this handy guide together of tips and observations to help you out. You can take it or leave it, but these tips have helped me to achieve over 600 orders on the Fiverr, along with Fiverr Certified and Top Rated Seller . Some things to consider... 1. If you've designed (x) amount of websites, and you state this in your profile, then your customers will expect to see examples. If you put up templates or stock images your claims will be brought into question. Your customers are smarter than you think. 2. Don't over complicate your gig. Trust me when I say that your target customers don't know or don't care what CSS, Bootstrap or HTML is. They just want a website. The people that know about these phrases are already in the web design industry, and don't need your services. 3. Customers in 2024 need a LOT of hand holding, especially ones that have little IT experience, and if they are going to part with $100's then they need to strike up a relationship with someone they can relate to. Put up a intro video to show your personality, make it happy and friendly. Avoid any jargon and phraseology that will confuse them. 4. Don't make claims that will catch you out. Even though your customers aren't necessarily IT literate, they are very savvy, and whatever you say in your gig description they will hold you to. So if you offer 1 months free aftercare or unlimited revisions then they will expect it. 5. Invest in your business. If you can afford it, then purchase full licences to your plugins and themes. Not nulled versions. This will instil confidence in what you do. 6. If you're an expert then offer a fix/ troubleshooting gig. If you're as good as you think you are then offer a gig that supports people who are experiencing issues, this will tell your customers that you have a wide range of skills and allow you to pick up a lot of quick win customers. 7. Have all of the information / Requirements before you start. If you don't have everything set up in advance you will be delayed. clarify everything you need in advance. This gives the impression that you're on the ball and you know what you're talking about. This includes Branding packs Hosting information Website Copy Examples of websites they like Any links to external sites, Calendly etc... Keyword information Images / drop box files. 8. Don't offer a FREE aftercare service. I often see lots of gigs where a free aftercare service is provided to 'tantalise' people to buy their gig . Sometimes these are for 30 days, 1 year, or even lifetime. This is what the Fiverr revision process is there for. As a website designer, you will very quickly end up with a portfolio of clients that take up all of your time for no extra charge. You will essentially be working for free 9. Be clear on your pricing. As a website designer, I know roughly how long it takes to build a website page . I then take my hourly rate and then come up with a clear pricing format based on that. Don't advertise a $80 website then quote the client $400 out of greed. This will only deter them. Unless it is a custom offer, always quote what you have advertised. 10. Try to have an introductory Fiverr Zoom call. I always start and finish my gig with a Zoom call. This gives the opportunity for my clients to meet me, talk through designs and set expectations. It also speeds up the process, as customers can ask questions, be reassured by what I say, and know exactly what they are going to get for the service. I then end the gig with a call so I can close off the order quicker and make any changes they need in 'real time'. This removes any need for endless messages back and forth on Fiverr. 11. Don't clutter your gig images. If your gig description is strong, and you have real website examples in your gig gallery then don't over complicate your main gig image. It needs to be simple and to the point. Think! How your gig image looks reflects how customers will think their website will look. If you can't design a slick gig image then common sense says that your website will not be of a good quality. Remember, your customers aren't stupid 12. Don't make up your certifications / qualifications. Customers will catch you out. It's better to be truthful about your skills rather to have your integrity brought into question 13. Don't put 7 web design gigs together for the sake of it. Master one gig , make it the very best it can be, then only open up another gig if it's different to the first. I often see multiple gigs exactly the same. What's the point? it will only confuse your customers. 14. Communication is key. Customers will sometimes spend a lot of money on web design gigs and will make a first impression on you very quickly. If you can't communicate in a friendly and polite manner then you're fighting a losing battle. Once again, don't use jargon or complex terminology. It will only put your potential customers off. 15. It's ok to say no. You don't have to take any job that comes along. Web design is a complex profession with lots of different areas. Don't take on a job for your first gig unless you're 100% sure you can deliver on what you say. You will only regret it when the customer provides feedback to you at the end. 16. Know your trade and continuously learn. For all of the time I see people sharing their gigs on social media, and staying online 24/7, use this time to lean and to build up a portfolio of websites you can share on your gigs. I see too many freelancers deciding to become web designers Fiverr before they have the skills in it. Read the forum, complete online courses, and don't put a gig together until you know you have the skills to deliver. 17. Don't copy other gigs. Be unique in what you do. Not only is it blatant plagiarism, it shows a complete lack of creativity, and creativity is what website design is all about 18. Be proud of where you're from. Don't show your gig image to be someone or something you're not. Not only is it against the Fiverr TOS, it makes you look like you've got something to hide. A clear photo of you or your business logo is essential. 19. Add gig extras to your gig. As a website designer I have lots of gig extras that I can sell during the process, this includes teaching, maintenance and blog posting. Ensure you have these to increase your average order value. 20. Do not share your gig on social media, unless you are 100% that it is the best it can be. If you're whole profession is around creativity and accuracy, then there is nothing more brand damaging for both you and Fiverr than a poorly constructed gig littered with errors. This will achieve nothing. Hope this helps guys

As a website designer your cost should be based on your hourly rate. If it takes you two hours to build a landing page and your hourly rate is $40 an hour then charge $80 However, as @mariashtelle1 has said, you need to account for the minimum order value that Fiverr imposes on web design gigs. Personally, any freelancer that charges $15-$20 for a landing page is not making any money at all. Plus, it's unlikely that customers will order from them as it is perceived to be of low quality.

Will they? Sounds like an order to me?

@brightdrako I'm pretty sure if Fiverr have banned you from the platform then you can't 'rise from the ashes' with another account.

So, I'm into my 14 year of website design. But I only joined the Fiverr platform in 2017. I have always been a techy geek, but I thought at the time 'why not give it a go'? In the early years, I kind of meandered along on Fiverr as I was a senior manager in Education and Retail which at the time paid far more money. Then Covid came along............ I didn't realise at the time how being in the right place with the right skills would kick start my career. While I was home based with work, and let's be honest, working a fraction of the hours I should have been, I started completing orders on Fiverr for people all over the world who needed to get their businesses online. 2020 and 2021 were crazy, and I earned more money in these two years than my full time job. So, in April 2022 when I became a top rated seller on Fiverr I decided to give up the security of a full time job to become a full time freelancer. This scared the hell out of me, but it was also sooo exciting. At the time this was a really big decision for me, as I had a wife, a mortgage and 2 young daughters. But I thought, if I don't do it now, then I never will. To date I have built over 900 websites. (Around 500 on Fiver alone) and I have never looked back. Freelancing as taught me that you can be your own boss, and you can be successful, you just need to take a leap of faith and believe in yourself. I also get to spend waaaaay more time with my family, which is really important to me. And believe it or not. I am NOT online / active 24/7!!!!!! I work an 9 hour day, and get to put my girls to bed each night, and switch off until the morning. Plus I get to sit in my pyjamas all day 😀 You get out what you put in on this platform. Anyone that tells you it's easy is lying, anyone that thinks they can make it by blagging their way through it is deluded. It's all about hard work and reaping the rewards when you become successful. .

So if this isn't working for you, then why are you posting it as advice for others?

@biprakundu07 You have literally just posted an 'apparent' answer on a thread on the very same subject only a few minutes ago. You're clearly commenting for the sake of it as opposed to speaking with authority.

You have been told why by several freelancers, but here's one last attempt! 1) You start your profile with 'Hello Mate' - This is extremely unprofessional 2) Your gig image is fake, and is of another person completely, you have even left their name on it. 3) Your profile name is Jany, yet your reviewers state you to be a male called Usma? The bottom line is that your customers probably don't trust you!

@Kesha Can I recommend something like an 'outstanding contribution/contributor badge'. ? Someone who actively takes the time to post a well researched and well written post that impacts on the forum in a positive way. weather this is an idea/initiative or giving clarity on a difficult topic. This will be awarded by Fiverr moderators, and will instill trust to the newer forum members that this person is providing factual and trusted information.

No it won't! The changes will be reflective by how the algorithm perceives the amendments. If it returns to it's original position then what's the point of doing the changes in the first place? I suggest you refrain from making comments about this subject until you get your first order. You can then speak from experience.

Looks like you've answered from your 'other' Fiverr account by mistake #epicfail

Your feedback from your customers refer to you as male. Yet your profile image is a fake. It's a stock image taken from a fashion blog. Your customers aren't stupid. They can probably spot this too, and straight away it makes you appear untrustworthy and dishonest.

@ismail2i So you claim to be an 'advanced' digital marketer. Why aren't you using the skills you claim to be an expert in to grow your own business? But what's more interesting is your gig 'claims' to promote businesses to 100 million people through 'active' social media channels. Therefore, if you do this with your own gig, and lets say just 1% or 1 million people buy your services. You could be a multi-millionaire by lunchtime tomorrow! 😀 Good luck, and let us all know how you get on

Seriously? You claim to be a Facebook marketing expert

Hey @lisamariepell I think you've created a good gig. It's well worded, and you come across really well. However, people tend to shop with their eyes, and your gig image doesn't stick out. If I was scrolling through all of the gigs in your niche, I would struggle to know what it is you do from just your picture alone. Consider changing this and adding some wording to make it really stand out. I hope this helps?
