  1. It's in the documentation and mentioned in a testimonial on one of the landing pages. I don't really understand why it's so quiet, either. It seems like FE is built on top of the Stoke Talent acquisition and might be another platform altogether, since you can't actually log into it without an invite from a client first (I think). It looks like everyone in the Pro catalog is in the Enterprise catalog (ctrl+f Fiverr Enterprise in the main TOS). I think this email was some kind of soft launch - they had to add everyone to the catalog, so good time to round robin, and soon, maybe, there will be more education about the bennies. We are due a second product release of the year, after all. I don't think this is it.... This is in the glossary from the documentation: Also, it was mentioned in the email but Fiverr has appallingly bad copywriters/writers on staff so they drowned the main benefit in "exclusive":
  2. https://docs.enterprise.fiverr.com/en/articles/6629610-getting-started-with-fiverr-enterprise-as-a-talent
  3. It is much more fun to scream about what an evil megalocorp Fiverr is though.
  4. The Fiverr Enterprise thread. I've been posting about it for 3 hours to tumbleweeds! Might be on a Seller Plus forum, IDK.
  5. I liked the 0% commissions surprise revealed today that everyone is ignoring!
  6. Apparently the success score updates every 60 days according to a random person on reddit who asked neo I asked Neo and deliberately got the number of days wrong. Turns out Neo just tells you random stuff:
  7. Nope, it's just "reply" whether I hover over my message or someone else's (this includes previous buyers). Disabling all (Chrome) extensions did nothing, but oddly enough, I can see the dots and report/block whatever in Firefox. I remember a few years ago I switched to Chrome because Fiverr went buggy on Firefox. Oh how the turn tables etc. Anyway, on the off-chance that someone else is suffering this apparently very niche issue, there's the fix.
  8. It's more like I can't do anything: This is the only hover-button I get, and there are no options in any menus to block or report, nor on profile pages, or anything. I have no idea why this has changed, but all that's left is the app and the block button there.
  9. I would have thought "just removing a gig to make success score good again" would be one of the first and most obvious parts of the system's design, since Fiverr's obviously trying to reducing gamification (by sellers...) of the system. The only way to "game" this system that I can see is to get Seller Plus, activate RTO, and vet buyers. Assuming that the seller is able to deliver on the promise of their gig and there are no issues with their service and they know how to handle issues quickly/gracefully - i.e. they control all the things they can - RTO allows control of a variable that can't be controlled otherwise: buyer access. A happy coincidence or meticulous design to swell Fiverr's coffers? As for how to improve success scores, I don't think reading any of Fiverr's pages are the answer. There are plenty of sellers with an inflated opinion of the value/worth of their service (not just deliverables, but actual service) - the only way to fix that is an honest self-assessment and fixing any issues. As always, the people most in need of doing that are the people least likely to do it. I've sold 2 gigs this year and I'm still a 10. I'm on course for gig 3 this year. *shrug*. I could have sold more, but the quality of "leads" is rock bottom at the moment. A typical example (I'd also like to complain about the block button being missing from the desktop inbox as as I searched for it everywhere, finally finding it on the app. Which needed to update. Ugh). My Fiverr wishlist: blocking entire countries from my inbox and gigs. Not gonna happen though....
  10. I guess they've blown the budget on the Head of AI Guild Guy (to be). Plus, you know, as customers of the AI Guild, we should be thankful that we're even getting a spot near the high table, where we can gaze adoringly at His Golden Eminence.
  11. PS @uk1000 - Either Fiverr's on HS as this org or someone else called themselves this.
  12. MidJourney apparently now does have the ability to recreate images consistently (example use case: you upload a photo of you and ask MJ to put you in a variety of scenarios/graphic styles etc. and the tech gubbins will make sure your face is consistent.) You could then plop that into one of the AIs that makes (limited) videos from images. I don't think Fiverr necessarily needs to dev their own video model. They could just as easily leverage open source places like Hugging Face (Amazon & Google do, among others), but my tech incompetence prevents me from understanding too much of what is going on there other than "cool new stuff that someone needs to make accessible for feeble human minds like mine". I really must take one of my worse performing gigs and do an entity experiment on it one day. Although who am I kidding, they all perform terribly at the moment 🙂 Anyways, it's only a matter of time before video becomes doable and more affordable. I still think voice cloning is more likely as a next step since while voice cloning can do "normal talking" I've yet to hear one that does "emotional" (e.g. angry yelling, snotty crying voice, not to mention the more subtle tones/emotions). So you know, someone could go to the "Voice Lab" and type in "deep american male voice" and get a bunch of results to test out with a unique piece of text. If they like the text as-is, they can pay [whatever] and a % goes to the seller. If they need more emotions or the voice just sounds weird but they otherwise love it, the buyer can check out the seller's human voice and pay full price for authentic voices. Perhaps the only question mark here would be enforcing licenses. Video's more complex than that (visual-audio, editing, other stuff idk) so probably just easier to snip the human out altogether, although that would be a strange move from a purported freelance platform. I guess you could send a watermarked terrible video to a seller and they could "fix it" (Neo could find by style or something, with users picking self-selecting their offered styles) by removing watermarks/making it look better/whatever. Even so, that seems like it would be a LOT more difficult to achieve than VO (expectation mismatch etc). But then again, this is Fiverr. Perhaps Fiverr's AI Guild will remind the CEO that a part of a guild's responsibilities is ethics and protecting human jobs. But that takes listening (verb, not noun). Outside of creative verticals business automation might be one. AI makes an okay automation for e.g. make.com, an expert improves it. Fiverr's already in the "Certified" expert market, don't forget. My serious doubts about the validity of of the experts in it (I am one - uncertified with a gig I'm not activating, but could - is why) aside, it's one way to leverage the programs, uh, proven expertise to a wider audience.
  13. Video, perhaps? Or perhaps voiceovers. God knows, Fiverr has access to all their samples and if I'm not mistaken the TOS says they can do it - not a lawyer obvs: 🤔 I'm excluding writing as it isn't so easy to produce consistent writing based on a prompt (especially if the prompters aren't good at it) and it just doesn't seem like something that's easy to just "produce" like a cloned VO. That could change in the near future. Video might be good (even if the videos suck) because Fiverr might be able to create a freemium model, but I'm just making stuff up now.
  14. Only if one takes in good faith that success managers are privy to all the details of the new system. This is a job listing for a SM position in TLV on the main Fiverr site: https://www.fiverr.com/jobs/QjkuRTE2 Note how the listing - correctly - refers to Fiverr Sellers as customers throughout. I like this part (describing one of the roles of the position: That could mean many things, of course, but offering suggestions on how a thing they don't really know works would definitely "create structure in ambiguous situations". I don't believe they have access to as much data as we'd like to think. There's also an opening for "Head of AI Guild" in tech: https://www.fiverr.com/jobs/QTguMjQ3 If anyone is wondering what a/the AI Guild is, here's Perplexity AI: As a reminder, we are customers. We have no real say in this guild and its development, other than the time-honored vote of "walking with thy feet." Still, I did recall @levinewman's conversation about some sort of seller representation (as far as we know, unpaid, unless Levi has an update?) within Fiverr and it's fairly obvious that whatever Fiverr's AI Guild would do would have to involve Fiverr's seller-customers to some capacity, since they deliver the AI-related services to the other half of the Fiverr customer equation. The big question is are those practitioners Fiverr staff or Fiverr customers or a combo of both? Will we find out more about this in the second "product release" coming this year? The other positions I looked at were boring and/or I lacked the knowledge of the things involved to make much of them. Right then, who wants to tell me I'm off-topic today?
  15. entities are probably more profitable than keywords at this point, just sayin'....
  16. Speaking of which, apparently there's an "audio recording" of Prince William and Kate Middleton having a big fight in which William is hear to yell ridiculous stuff about how she hasn't done the dishes yet (?!?) before getting a bit "handsy" with her. This was all reported on a faceless TikTok "news" channel with incredibly stilted voiceover, zero evidence, and plenty of b-roll footage, purporting to be telling the "the truth" about the missing princess. Anyway, this just reminded me of that. Of course, before we get UBI the population of the planet will probably have to be shrinkwrapped a bit 😕
  17. Oh, and messages written entirely in Urdu or something. Why? WHY?
  18. I think that's the mistake a lot of people make (Fiverr is quite demanding to keep up with re: metrics so other stuff falls by the wayside, which was my mistake). OTOH, it does look like quite a few sellers are just giving up with platforms altogether and starting their own sites etc. Personally, I will keep my account open too. It's locked down so aside from "Dear Mr. Emma" messages that I need to respond to, Fiverr can return back to being the minor income source that it was only ever meant to be when I joined 10 years ago... It was okay while it lasted.
  19. Just seen this on Reddit - looks like UW is pushing their gig model onto sellers. I've definitely see the AI job postings (also a problem with B&M) - GPT literally just spits out traditional job listings (and the clients then get reams of convoluted AI applicants). I do like how lots of freelancers keep saying/going to [another platform] because the grass is greener when it evidently isn't...
  20. On Fiverr, this is the great squeaky wheel of complaints....
  21. Good Lord, I thought he'd never block me. It's a shame he can't see the secret post, isn't it?
  22. I mean, if you spent less time telling me that you don't like me and more time looking for the button, you probably could have found it by now. <shrug>
