Can you provide a reference on this please?

I mean what I am about to say with the following explicit points: I do not intend to solicit you. I am not requesting anything of you. I hope you know your input is valuable. The above being said, I think it's worth mentioning, if you were to have an audio book on business and ambition in general, that happened across my path, I could see myself buying it. 🙂

Hello, If I understand correctly what you are referring to, you may find this link helpful:

No, I do not think you should accept this. You can find an intro to the idea of avoiding 'problem' clients here (scroll down to 'Lesson 3: Focus on the 20 percent') : https://www.turbinehq.com/blog/lessons-from-4-hour-workweek

How do you go about expanding in this manner?

I found this thread while trying to find out more about Quick Response myself. This link might help you with quick responses, and they appear to be a way for you to customize messages you are likely to repeatedly send to buyers. I think the end result is the same between the two options but Quick Response allows for more customization. https://www.fiverr.com/support/articles/360010846178 But I do not have the ability to see quick responses. I do not know if I am in the incorrect area, or if it is because I do not have any gigs open. Does anyone know about that part? Please take a look at my image below and let me know if you have any ideas, I would like to set up some quick responses prior to launching my gigs.

Hello @kashifretouch, This gig looks quite nice. I saw only 3 items you might consider altering. Your Call To Action at the end of your Description is, "Looking forward to seeing you in chat". You might be better asking for the sale instead of asking for a chat. Your FAQ only has 3 questions, you might want to utilize all 10 available slots here to help potential buyers really get an idea of exactly what you offer, and do not offer. One of your tags says 'lighting'. If I were looking for a photo editor it is unlikely I would use the search term 'lighting', you may be able to find a different keyword that buyers are more likely to enter into the fiverr search. I really like how you have made your gig.

When reading this I wondered as others have pointed out if it was some social media personality stunt, however, the manner in which the user went about this is rather suspicious. I was thinking you made the correct choice in getting it cancelled, until I read: So it is unfortunate the cancellation was not directly at your request. Have you considered sending them another message on the platform? (I don't even know if you can do that if they are not a seller).

Hello, This is what I notice. On your profile your description begins, "Hey, Hi,I am Rayhan, ...." I suggest you only use one of the words "Hey" or "Hi" but not both. On your gig description: You say, "hi, I'm Rayhan..." make sure to capitalize the 'H' to read, "Hi, I'm Rayhan..." When you write, "I will design .....Professional Real Estate postcard" the part with the periods, the ellipsis, seems unnecessary and abrupt, instead you might write, "I will design a Professional Real Estate postcard" You say you will design a "eddm postcard" be careful not to use an unnecessary amount of jargon as a buyer may be interested in your service but not understand your meaning. For example, I understand what a Real Estate Post Card is, but I have no idea what a "eddm postcard" is. In the section that says, Dimensions Of the Postcard: 4x6 " 5x7 " 9x7" I think you should make all of your dimensions bold so they all stand out here to look something like: Dimensions Of the Postcard: 4x6 " 5x7 " 9x7" When you say, "what you will get" I think you should capitalize your initial 'W' so it instead reads as, "What you will get" Good Luck!

Would you recommend handling this type of situation by sending custom offers, or having them reorder the original gig, or is there a third option you go with?

What I mean to say is every post they say is the exact same thing and when I say nonsense, I mean it is irrelevant, it does not seem to me to be a thought, or an opinion. It would be as though the only thing I posted on the forum over and over again was, "Today the sky was in connection to a rack." And I went somewhere else and posted the exact same thing ad nauseam. I don't think downvoting b.s. is malicious, and while no, I would not want someone to repeatedly do that to my posts, when I reference the downvote multiple times I am referring to within a single thread, I did not stalk the user across the forum looking for things to downvote. So, I think the reason you might be asking if I would want someone to repeatedly do that to my posts is because you think I did something over and over, I did not. Am I correct in understanding what you mean here? I don't see how any user would be able to "overthrow the Fiverr forum". Forum ranks are just fun titles. The real grandmasters have strong content to back up their notoriety, and they are easily-identifiable personalities on this forum. "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." (Hanlon's razor) This was meant as a joke, I didn't realize super villains were a matter of serious contemplation. I posted with the tone I did and the poll has the tone it does particularly because this post is contained within the subsection "The Ranting Pot". Perhaps I have made the overall meaning of my original post unclear by trying to be cute. What I want to know is, would anyone care to share their opinion on the likelihood of the following?: 1. A person on the forums goes around posting the equivalent of "Today the sky was in connection to a rack." 2. This person specifically posts that exact phrase repeatedly in the section of the forums which can be downvoted so that they will show at the bottom of the page which is an area that has a lot of eyes on it. 3. This person specifically does so for the purpose of attracting the attention of the forum users who frequently 'react/like' posts with the apparent reason of increasing their forum rank by arbitrarily liking the posts as it seems there is not a discrimination of what these users tend to like, everything is liked. 4. The person has decided to do this so that their reputation score and/or forum title increase with minimal work, for the same reason I assume the 'serial likers' do which I assume is the same reason I tend to like playing 'clicker games', that reason being, it can be amusing to watch numbers become bigger numbers. The reason I think the scenario I laid out above is likely is because the only downvoted person on the thread I am referring to had 15 likes, while the person who contributed the best answer had 12.

There is a poster of common nonsense who likes to answer in the portion of the forums where an answer can be voted up or down. This particular person posts the same copy paste nonsense over and over in this section of the forums and others. I just noticed they had been downvoted multiple times so I jumped on the band wagon. Then I noticed they had 15 reactions on their nonsense. Since this makes their reputation increase, I wonder, are they actually a super villain poising to overthrow the fiverr forum as a nefarious grandmaster?

You might find the information in this post helpful.

I didn't use a currency on purpose, it does not seem relevant. I used 100 on purpose so that you would have an easy number to work from as a base to scale to your needs. There should be enough information included in my original post for you to plug in your own numbers to find an answer to your question. However, I will assume you are being genuine so I will make a final attempt to supply a genuine answer. If you make 1000-1500$ per month in sales your formula would look something like this: ((((((1000+1500)/2)*(0.8))*(.9651))-(0.49*65))*(0.75))= X ----- If X above is more than you need to survive per month then on average you should make enough. If you want to be safe use this formula instead to account for your worst months: (((((1000)*(0.8))*(.9651))-(0.49*65))*(0.75))= X ----- If X above is more than you need to survive per month then on your worst month you should make enough. If you want to be safe use this formula instead to account for a buffer of 30% more needed in a given month than expected: (((((1000)*(0.8))*(.9651))-(0.49*65))*(0.75))= X/1.3 = Y ----- If Y above is more than you need to survive per month then on your worst month, and with an unexpected increase of expenses you should make enough. ------ If your 1000-1500$ per month is after fiverr has taken its 20% do the same formulas without the *(0.8)portion but keep the other points if they still remain relevant to your scenario. If your 1000-1500$ per month is after your credit card/merchant processors have taken their fees (or in the event you do not have this scenario) do the same formulas without the *(.9651)portion and also without the -(0.49*65)portion but keep the other points if they still remain relevant to your scenario. If your merchant processing fees are a different amount than 3.49% + 0.49$ per transaction and/or you have more or less transactions with said merchant than 65 (65 is just an arbitrary number here) adjust the figures above to suit your scenario. If your 1000-1500$ per month is after the government has taken its 25% taxes do the same formulas without the *(0.75) but keep the other points if they still remain relevant to your scenario. If your tax obligations are a different amount than 25% (25% is just an arbitrary number here) adjust the figures above to suit your scenario. (0.8) = Accounts for Fiverr's 20% transaction fee (.9651) = Estimates a Merchant Transaction Fee (0.49*65) = Further Estimates a Merchant Transaction Fee and assumes you are being charged 0.49$ per transaction with merchant and performing 65 transaction with that merchant per month (0.75) = Accounts for a 25% governmental Tax Alter these numbers as they apply to your scenario and you should wind up with a decent idea of how you are looking.

Hello, total noob here, but maybe someone can help me out. Is there a way to avoid a specific buyer^? I have seen this concept a couple of times on the forums but when I have tried to look into it, it would appear there is not an approval button when an order is submitted that would allow the seller to vet the buyer? I do not actually know as I have not sold anything on Fiverr, thanks.

Your English wording is very difficult to understand. Using what you posted as an example here are some things you might try which could help improve your communication with buyers. These suggestions are meant specifically for you, so they are not necessarily meant as suggestions for everyone to improve communication, and are not meant as suggestions when you are speaking with customers who also share the same primary language as you. When you are going to ask a question, try only to ask one, very specific and important question, and do not ask another until you have an answer. If you must know multiple pieces of information before you can proceed, then you may have to ask multiple questions, so be certain the question is necessary. I do not know how the following words translate from your language and they are still used by native speakers but they often come across wrong so instead of using words like "touch my purchaser" try "contact my customer" or "communicated with my client". You mention that you regularly speak with the customer to make sure they are satisfied. Realize that delivering what the customer ordered will satisfy them much more than them trying to navigate what you mean. Just as with the questions, keep communications limited to only what is necessary. If you want ensure they are satisfied you might try the following phrase, "Hello, I want to make sure this is progressing according to your specifications, let me know if there is anything you need me to address." Alternatively you might try the phrase, "Hello, please let me know at any point if there is anything you need from me." This puts the communication in their hands instead of you asking questions which may be unclear. When the customer tells you they want you to do something specific, repeat back to them what you think they want you to do, using your own words, and ask for confirmation that you understood them correctly. If you do not have a specific need to communicate with your customer, then the only reason ('point') to do so would be to thank them for their order. Beyond these points you may find these links useful: https://www.5minutelanguage.com/how-to-sound-more-fluent/ https://howtogetfluent.com/sound-more-fluent/ https://www.fluentu.com/blog/english/how-to-speak-english-well-fluently/ I found those links by googling the phrase: 'what type of words should foreign speakers avoid to sound more fluent in english'

I saw something along those lines while attempting to use the forums last night. I think this is fairly widespread. I ended up giving it 15 minutes or so and reloading the page. I realize this might not work for you, but perhaps try every 15-60 minutes until you are able to deliver your offer. Also, you may try resetting your wifi, clearing cookies&cache, using another browser, and/or using another device. It is very unlikely any of that will help, but as you have indicated time is essential it may be worth a try.

It looks like OP is making more money than spent on ads. Is this just an issue of not being satisfied with how much money is made compared to Ad Spend, or am I missing something?

In the event you are referring to Fiverr Pro, please see this link: https://blog.fiverr.com/post/how-to-become-a-fiverr-pro

You are really milking this eh?

You may be able to estimate this for yourself. Here is a general guideline you might find useful, tweak the formula to suite your needs. Take your desired income needed to live how you wish. Multiply by 1.3 to help account for underestimating factors. Divide by .8 to cover Fiverr fees. Divide by .9651 to account for merchant fees like credit card transactions. Add 0.49*(number of anticipated transactions for the year) This again is related to merchant fees. Divide by .75 to account for taxes. These numbers are general and your situation will differ. An example of how the formula would play out would be something like this: Desired income needed to live per month = 100, so per year it would be 1200 1200*1.3=1560 1560/.8=1950 1950/.9651=2020.52 and let's say you are doing 4 transactions per month so 48 transactions per year @ .49/transaction 0.49*(48)=23.52 and we will now add that to the previous number 2020.52+23.52=2044.04 2044.04/.75=2725.39 So for the example given in order to live at the desired rate of 100 per month, you would need to make 2725.39 per year in sales, or 2725.39/12= 227.12 per month in sales from Fiverr. You would then look at the average order price, and average number of orders per month. Plug in your numbers and you should get a good idea of if this will work for you or not.

This thread is discussing the same matter. I do not know if an answer has been rooted out 100% yet though.

Hello All, I have found the fiverr forum to be both a welcome time-sink and a wealth of information for me personally. I am curious if there is a fiverr discord, or if not, could there be one that was unofficial and ran by sellers without breaking the TOS? Alternatively, do any of you use discord with other like minded people (whether they are in a similar niche as you, or simply freelancers in general) to share ideas, and waste time? Thanks. *Please Note: This is not an attempt to circumvent any rules, do not post any links that are not Fiverr approved.

@miiila Thank you for all of your advice. I keep seeing profiles which have chosen to work within a single niche with 80%+ of their reviews all coming from 1 gig and the other gigs, while related, go largely ignored. So that is something I was hoping to avoid (improve upon) if I went with a variety approach. I also really appreciate the other feedback regarding the buyer's thought process, I have only ever bough a handful of gigs and therefore do not have much insight to the buyer's mind.

@vickieito On one of the links you sent you posted the quote above. I understand how you can see information like this, I wonder if an option exists to find more data? Specifically I am interested in finding how common a given search query is. For example, some of the services I have considered offering have <50 gigs which is nice from a competition standpoint, but may also be indicative of either a lack of buyer interest, or poor word choice. Thanks
