Hi, Fiverr has a page for sending offers to the buyer requests. But now it is no more.
Now you have to create gig and wait for the notification to popup in your profile(on the top right corner). Notification says "it's a match".
Check on it there you will see the buyer request matching your gig or area of expertise, i guess matching with gig category.
In that request send your proposal or message the buyer.

 

It was really great to have a buyer request page, like before. But now fiverr does not the best platform i would prefer to someone.

As it think it has been more than year and i did not get any notifications for sending any offer. or even get a work via those notifications.

 

Ever since the "Buyer Request" page is gone. there is been a massive reduce in work here. For me atleast.

I totally agree with you. I logged in to fiverr after almost 1 year now. I used to be a level 1 seller, used to get a good amount of works, at least used to see offers that are suitable for me. now fiverr just shows me cheap offers that has nothing to do with me. Anyways, I wish fiverr good luck.

Buyer requests never worked for some people, myself included. Nothing came of them--not once. I've had maybe three sales through briefs.

I'm happy that it worked for you. I think, Fiverr could've kept both features and let the users decide which feature they want to use. Pretty sure, having both feature would benefit a lot of sellers.

I've been on Fiverr for around 2 years now. At first, when a I was just a new seller, there was not a lot of buyers requests. I used to see like 1-5 buyers request, sometimes none. It kinda felt useless in the beginning. Then got a few orders through the buyers request, I became a Level One Seller and the number of buyers requests went from around 5 to around 5000. I was really surprised and happy to see so many buyers requests. But kinda sad that I can only send 10 offers per day. But still, its better than nothing ( or just around 5 buyers request ). Things have been pretty well in fiverr. I could at least see, what buyers are looking for, what's trending nowadays, if there's something new I should learn, and so on. It was a great feature.
Agreed, there were a few ( like around 2-5 within 5000 ) buyers requests that were spam, which most people can easily identify. but most of were genuine people who wanted to buy our services.

Then fiverr removed the buyers request and replaced with a "half baked" AI that can't do anything but annoy the sellers with weird, irrelevant, unwanted posts that has mostly nothing to do with the sellers. Whoever worked on the AI, did the worst job imaginable. Not sure if they even tested the feature properly before releasing it to production.

I myself brought 20+ people to fiverr, when it was actually a good platform. People could actually get orders, earn money. But now i don't even recommend fiverr to anybody.

They say, they removed buyers requests because of the spammy posts. Its like cutting your head for having a mild cold.

Pardon my English but its been rather frustrating to see a good marketplace becoming useless. Pardon the usage of the harsh words, which are used because of the love for the platform.
Have a wonderful day everyone.
