Hi everyone, I completed my first order a few weeks ago and the payment was cleared into my available funds balance five days ago. The net amount in USD after the 20% cut was $5.60. However, I am in Canada, so my payout will be in CAD. On the first day, the amount available to be withdrawn was $8.04. It dropped to $8 this morning, and it is now down to $7.96. Is this purely related to the fluctuating exchange rates of currencies or do I somehow lose money if I don't withdraw it? Has anyone else encountered this problem? Thanks! Livia

You can use your "refer a friend" to earn a bonus in Fiverr Credits when they make a purchase. Here is the link: https://www.fiverr.com/referral_program.

This is the value of niching down. To give you an example, I have gigs in very general categories (English-French translation or proofreading, for example) that have never had any orders. On the other hand, my gig in Notion templates is in a much smaller niche (less than 650 sellers have "notion template" in their title and description) and has gotten all my orders.

Hi @mtt_harrison, The "Accepting Custom Orders" button can be activated if you would like to get orders that are not exactly what is proposed by your Gig. For example, a customer could ask for a custom order that includes more extras that are not usually included, etc. The "Get briefs" button allows you to receive requests directly from buyers who do not have a single seller in mind. They post a brief, and the Fiverr algorithm then matches them up with several different buyers based on the keywords in their gigs and profile. To maximize your chances as a new seller, you should probably activate both. Some sellers prefer to leave "Get briefs" off. Hope that helps!

Hi @mahidmunna, It is perfectly normal for your stats to fluctuate over time. Occasionally, Fiverr will give you a little boost (a test of whether or not your can secure an order with increased impressions). If you do not, your impressions will drop again. Good luck!

Hi @bossheros, Orders will not appear out of nowhere. You are in a relatively less competitive niche for your tracking services, though video SEO is a type of gig offered a lot more frequently. You can work on your profile description and gig descriptions. Study other profiles in your niche to get inspiration (though never just copy-paste!). Good luck!

Please stop spreading this rumor. Being online will not help you get clicks.

Hi @designerhosain, Completing the Fiverr skill tests in your category give you more credibility on the platform. A customer might be more likely to purchase your Gig if you can prove you are actually skilled in what you say you are. Cheers!

Hi @elizabuilds, Welcome to the forum! Levels on the forum are less about number of posts and more about how useful your posts are to the Fiverr community. You will notice that every reaction you get on your posts will increase your number of points. These points go towards increasing your rank. Furthermore, the number of posts you are limited to in a single day is not related to your rank, only to the platform trying to limit spammers. Hope that helps!

Hi there, Fiverr is very strict about "double accounts" (essentially the same person creating two or more accounts to bypass more than a few other rules). If your husband created his account using the same device as you, or maybe even with the same phone number or in the same location, then Fiverr could have flagged this as suspicious and disabled his account. Good luck!

Hi there, After a cancelled order, it is normal to see a significant drop in stats. After all, Fiverr promotes Gigs that have a good track record: good impression-to-click ratio, good conversion rate, repeat buyers, etc. The best thing you can do now is wait for your next order. If all goes well, then your ranking should slowly go back up. Good luck!

Your impressions look totally normal 🙂, so not to worry. I think many new sellers take about a month or two to get their first order, depending on their niche (the more competition, the longer it will take). Good luck!

This is amazing advice! I think most sellers here could stand to hear this a few more times (and me included). Thanks, @vickieito!

Hi there, I've taken a look at your profile, and here are a few tips that could help you get an order faster. - Work on your profile description. Since many (but not all) Fiverr buyers are anglophone, having a properly punctuated and grammatically correct description is a key aspect in scoring your first order. - Same thing for your gig descriptions. For example, you say "I will give you the right Audience with more sales" Instead of promising a result, explain how you will achieve it. This also counters bad reviews that did not see the promised imporvement. However, please remember that you need to be patient, especially before getting your first order. Good luck!

Hi there, If you are asking about the test that can be taken to earn a little badge on your English Language skill, you have to go to your profile, then click on "Take a Test". A window will open and you will be prompted to aswer a series of questions without accessing a different window. Good luck!
