I don't know if this would count as self-promotion, to be honest. But I won't nag you about the policies. If someone does know if it's against the policies, let me know. In terms of feedback, I think you need more examples. I would suggest you build a portfolio website. Something not too complicated, just a website where you show more of your designs. Additionally, do you do vector icons or drawings? That could be a good additional skill to have, as many websites prefer svg images.

Congratulations on your graduation. I hope you are able to fulfill your goals in Fiverr. Commit to it and provide quality work, and I'm sure you will have an excellent experience! Happy new year and good luck with your resolution!

What an incredible read!!!! Thank you so much for sharing

I've gotten 0 so far, but it's because I haven't been marketing nor promoting my gigs as I'm focusing on my website first

You are going to need patience, and you need to be able to identify opportunity. If you only publish your gigs, you will have a hard time getting ranked. I used to have an account with sales but got taken down for inactivity. And I'm currently not working on promoting my gigs, but here is what I learned from the previous experience. Fiverr is a means to generate traffic, but won't give you traffic if you don't work for it. You need to optimize your gigs, add videos and preferably show who you are. Have a portfolio website where you show your skills and qualifications to do so. Also promote your gig to people you know, this way the algorithm will see people entering your gig and will assume you are a useful contributor and will give you more organic exposure. Additionally, create content, preferably written. Not only do you need good SEO on your gig, since your website send people to your gig if you have written content addressing questions in your webpage via a blog, then search engines will give you traffic as well. You need to think about what people looking for your solutions are looking for in the search bars, and attempt to address those prompts in your text. Video content is also great, but it should be combined with text to have it rank better on SEO and for accessibility reasons. Blind people can't read, but there are tools that read for them, and having text in your sites helps with that. Finally, look for advice on YouTube there are many people there sharing their secrets, for example:

I agree with you. Shopfy's main focus in e-commerce therefore it makes sense they would have a better product on that niche, but overall WordPress is more powerful, but not as powerful as writing your own code. I believe there is a place for every tool out there but, and no matter how much we try to get rid of writing code, I think it will always have its place. So will WordPress and Shopify

If I'm not mistaken, I think about 70% of websites today still use WordPress. So perhaps the tooling in Shopify can be better, but the community and infrastructure of WordPress is better.

Wow, that's a tough one. I feel bad this happened to you. And since you're already a LVL 2 I could see why this such a big deal. However, I've seen a lot of LVL 2 accounts being sold on Facebook, which is kind of terrifying. It could perhaps be some update they made to penalize such accounts, and your account could've been mistakenly assumed to be purchased. But that is just speculation.

There are many things you can do to appear on more search results, however we are not always sure of which action will yield the best result. Therefore, I'm interested in seeing what people perceive to be the most effective ways to produce traffic to their gigs. Then answer with a comment explaining why you believe that method to be superior to others. Let's take a moment to provide anyone who reads this the opportunity to read well-thought-out reasons why you market the services the way you do.

I'm seeing a lot of people reply the same thing in the exception to you. I believe these people didn't understand the original poster's problem. I'm currently not facing this issue, but could you elaborate on what happened, and when did this become a problem?

You probably won't have any problem at all. You only need to go to your gigs on your seller dashboard and click on edit. There it will take you back to the page where you first created that gig and let you modify it.

I agree, the algorithm does seem to recognize that you are active and engaged. That is how I've managed to get impressions. I'm still far off to be able to provide proper advice on selling, since I've not been able to get sales recently because I've been busy. However, I used to have another account in the past, which is now eliminated. But I remember that publishing on Quora did help me get traffic as I linked my Fiverr there, and I constantly provided high quality answers to questions people had. Another way I've done it is by asking people in real life to check out my Fiverr page and even linking my Fiverr profile in my website.

I love happy endings 🙂

I haven't personally had interaction with that individual. However, keep in mind it's against Fiverr policies to do business outside the platform. I feel they do this to guarantee the safety of their sellers and buyers. This is because Fiverr is essentially doing the job of an escrow to guarantee satisfaction from both parts.

I'm currently working on developing a portfolio website for my clients to be able to see the quality of my work. However, I recently read that in your gigs you are only allowed to link to certain URLs and not following such guidelines could lead to penalties. My question is: does this apply to the whole website? I would like to be able to show my portfolio website to gain credibility on Fiverr, but I don't want to be penalized. I was thinking of putting it in my profile Is this a good or bad idea, and why?
