I've noticed that it's extremely challenging for newbies to get orders on Fiverr. I'd like to discuss this issue and hear your thoughts. 

: Established sellers with strong profiles and many reviews overshadow new sellers. 

: Starting with zero reviews makes it hard to convince clients to take a chance. 

: Fiverr's algorithm favors experienced sellers, burying new gigs in search results. 

: Clients prefer sellers with proven track records. 

: Pricing too low or too high can both be problematic. 

: Crafting a compelling gig takes time and effort. 

Recent Fiverr changes favor experienced sellers even more, making it tougher for beginners to get noticed. 

The policy allowing buyers to leave reviews on canceled orders is particularly problematic. It enables buyers to threaten sellers, cancel orders, and still leave negative reviews, which is unfair and unique to Fiverr. 

What challenges have you faced as a newbie on Fiverr? What do you think Fiverr should do to make the platform more beginner-friendly? How can Fiverr improve its policies to protect sellers from unfair buyer practices? 

Looking forward to your insights and suggestions.
