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 On the first day, the amount available to be withdrawn was $8.04.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!

Thanks for you answer! I'll definitely do my best!

Hey again, I am so thrilled right now, and for a good reason: I just got my first order from a customer! I am really thankful for the leap of faith that this customer took when hiring me (a new seller with no orders, ever). Now, on the more rational side, I do have a few questions: Is it true that completing custom orders will not positively affect my Gig impressions? I've read someplace on the forum that only non-custom orders boost impressions. If that is false, will my Gig stats go up when the order is placed or when the order is completed? And will my Gig impressions rise only in that specific Gig or in all of them--in different categories? (With and without a good review.) Cheers! P.S.: I started on Fiverr about a month ago, so to all you fellow newbies, good luck!

I got two; one who disappeared of the face of the earth before ordering anything, and one (this morning!) who just asked for a tiny favor. Otherwise, no real offers, though I'm really excited!

Thanks for the advice! I'm looking forward to that next boost! How often do they usually happen (every month or every six months)?

Chunky, of course! Though smooth is better for peanut butter cookies 🥰. What about you? Thanks! I really hope so!

Greetings all, As a new seller, reaching 1K impressions was a pretty big milestone. I'm aiming for more clicks now (maybe even my first order!), but I trust that with some perseverance and hard work, I'll manage to help a few customers out. I'm celebrating this with a peanut butter sandwich (my personal favorite😏) Cheers!

I've seen the same thing happen to me 🙃 Just when I think they can't get any worse, they do. I think you just have to be patient, continue optimizing your Gigs, until your get your first order. From there, especially if you get a good review, Fiverr will be more inclined to put you higher in the rankings. From what I've heard, Fiverr promotes your Gigs on their first day just to see how they do. From there, it is normal for your clicks and impressions to drop. Good luck!

Greetings, I've been on Fiverr for a little over a week and my Gigs have been doing alright. I haven't gotten any orders yet. Like most new sellers, I've received at least a hundred spam messages since I created my account. Today, I received a message from a buyer who looks more legit than all the others I've already seen. However, he/she is asking me for a discounted price on one of my Gigs because "I study and in terms of Turkish lira dollar is very expensive nowadays". I'm inclined towards giving them the discount (the Turkish lira is not going well, according to Google) but I'm worried this will start a trend that will make all my future buyers expect a discount if this one writes a review mentioning it. What should I do? Cheers!

I've taken a look at your Gigs and they seem very good. However, some of your thumbnail images have a little too much text (that's my opinion, though since I changed my pictures to make them more attractive, I've seen a rise of clicks). Of course, you can't get many clicks if you don't have many impressions, but getting more orders will boost your Gig up in the search results. Just focus on serving the customers you have well, and their reviews will help you land more orders in the long-term. Cheers!

Greetings, I've had a few Gigs up for about a week now, and on the first day all of them experienced a huge jump in impressions (approx. 100+/day on the best one), then crashed to less than 10 for a few days. Since then, they've been fluctuating but never went up to that high level again. (I did notice that impressions go down during the weekend, but that's not really what I'm asking about.) Does Fiverr "promote" some new sellers for a day or two and rotate them to give all a chance at getting their first order? Has anyone else noticed this pattern? Or else, what might have changed? Cheers!
