Hi, my Fiverr experience is a bumpy road.
My name is Ahmet and I'm from Turkey. I am providing my customers with data analyses with SPSS or mentoring them through the process. I've been trying to find my place on Fiverr for some time now. It's been like 6+ months.
My first account got disabled due to ethical rules...
(To be honest, I think that way. They just gave me a list of reasons. I don't know which one.)
It was kinda my fault. I couldn't take grasp Fiverr's reality since it was my first freelancing experience through the web. I thought I can learn with time. I have little knowledge about YouTube, they send you warnings if you do something wrong or against their policies.
After my first account was disabled, I sent many emails or tried to contact Fiverr's help... I couldn't get any *good* answers for at least 1-2 months. It was a robotic written paragraph that repeats the things I said or my problem back to me. I've tried to prove that I am serious about Fiverr, not some robot or spammer, etc.
I get the outcome months after while trying to log in. "Your account has been disabled." message welcomed me... Then I said, "Well, it was my first try, and seems like I made some stupid mistakes. Let's try again, more carefully, and do more research". I made another account. I tried to make everything perfect at my first account already but I polished them again at my second account.
It won't be surprising but it didn't get approved. I learned that via e-mail with the "We cannot approve your seller profile" label and again I couldn't get an answer as well... It was a disappointment.
AND I'VE CREATED THE THIRD...
"But Ahmet, why do you keep opening one after another?"
Because I don't have any idea why I did not get approved or get my account disabled. I couldn't find any answer to any of my questions. I went trying everything that can occur problems.
"I had a random stock photo girl in my gig photo." - Changed to my recent photo.
"Description might be unprofessional" - Went through some research and looked at other people's gig descriptions *I thought* I figure it out.
"I might sound like a "hit-and-run" type of seller" - I've put my old projects and published academic research.
"My experiences might be the one with the problem" - I have worked with a company that does surveys of Universities. I thought it might have been caught to "Ethic rules"
"Maybe I am setting my gigs too early after I sign in" - I left my account untouched for like 1-2 months...
Then I realized it can be the cause of my older accounts that I thought were closed. It's my latest account. Others are disabled or I deleted them with my hand cause of "I have another account".
It's my latest account. I didn't even click to the "Be Seller" button yet. What do I do? The only thing I have on my mind is making everything once again from gig and profile pictures to anything that comes to mind. I've even watched the starter guide videos...
What can I do? Should i send e-mails describing my situation? Ive even thought to record a video. 😄
