[Came back from a long pause.]

Hello guys! I am back from a veeery long pause from Fiverr. Wanted to say a thanks to all the experts on the forum, you guys are pure life-fuel. Anyways I had a long 5 months pause and tried to make another account but something said to reactivate this account because I feel like I have already an advantage here. I have 18 reviews with 220$ total earnings. Right now I earn 200$ per video outside of Fiverr but I want to scale on Fiverr for my newbie editor friends.

here is my profile. I will keep the 2 video editing gigs and delete the rest trying to revive the gigs where I am the best. I already digested some of the Fiverr's tactics but every time I come here I get great advice. Any tips on how to revive my account? I just can't wait to blast clients with my new skills haha :D

[Can I recover from bad statistics?]

Can I recover from this? I had to cancel 10 orders last month because I had some personal problems

Your position in search results is not fixed, as it depends on factors such as relevance, your performance, and the performance of others. This means that one buyer may find you on the first page, while another may not see you at all.

Rather than referring to it as "rank," it is more accurate to describe the process as "matching" since Fiverr aims to connect the right buyers and sellers. To maintain and grow your income on Fiverr, deliver exceptional quality and support to your clients.

I advise raising your rates. Given that you received a $120 order with a base gig price of $5, you likely expended significant effort on the project. If you check out the search results, you will find that most successful sellers on the platform charge more than $5 as a base rate.

Charging higher rates, in addition to increasing earnings, often attracts higher-quality clients. To appeal to premium customers, sell at premium rates (but until you gain some momentum, you should charge a bit less than the best sellers in your niche). Higher rates also signal to the buyer that you're a true professional since no real pro would ever work for five bucks.

Consider diversifying your profile by creating additional gigs to draw in more buyers. For instance, you could expand your editing services to include other gaming videos, cinematic videos, or commercials, depending on what you're good at. 

In general, Fiverr boosts new sellers, particularly those who demonstrate high buyer satisfaction early on. Fiverr collects public reviews (star ratings) and private and anonymous feedback from buyers.

The private reviews carry more weight than the public ratings, and consistently delivering outstanding work will likely result in positive feedback, which in turn will give you the momentum you need to get past the "newbie stage".  Make efforts to get as much momentum as possible early on. 

To learn and improve, check out guides by Top Rated Sellers and other professionals on the forum, but be careful, and make sure you vet the sellers before taking their advice. There are lots of pretenders here. Check out their seller profiles and make sure the advice comes from someone who has success themselves. 

BTW: I love the authenticity of your gig video! You're not pretending to be an American using a cheap TTS voice and you're using humor to draw the buyer in. I like it. It's real and authentic.

New sellers take note: this guy is doing it the right way. 

Thank you for the kind words. I never knew that different buyers get different search results.

I will work hard and build my momentum and of course I'll need to raise my rates. But I thought maybe I can set my base with people that won't risk to try new things with their money

[How much time until I get on the first pages?]

Hello. I know the question above sounds a little bit to "newbie" but I didn't know what to write there.

So I created my video editing gig one week and a half ago and I somehow got an order in the first week (the video was in Romanian so it pretty much explains why he ordered from me) and when I search for my gig now, I am in the 10th page which is pretty strange assuming I got an order and more people message me. Yesterday I got a 120$ order and I don't know if this amount of income will boost my gig ranking or not.

This is my gig : https://www.fiverr.com/andreichiosea/edit-your-funny-gaming-video

And this is my portfolio : https://www.behance.net/andreichiosea

I started Fiverr just for making a YT video about it but it somehow turned into a source of income. What would be a good step to make now?

[Can you remove your bad reviews?]

So I saw this editor seller with 550 reviews, the majority were 5 stars and I've seen that he has some 1 star reviews, 2 star reviews etc.
Today when I cam across his gig again, the bad reviews were gone. I saw what the reviews were saying and I dont think the buyers contacted Fiverr to remove the reviews
