Hi all,

 I'm in the writing niche - blog posts and articles. Seller level 2, 5 stars, and 100% on all viewable metrics. $30-$40 price point.

 So, in the summer of 2022 I was making $2000-$3000 a month. Since then, it has slid steadily downwards, to a low of around $500 in October (pre ChatGPT), to $150 in June 2023, and in July so far, just $30. 


I was a member of the Fiverr Plus service and did my best to optimise, and I've also added a video to the posts and genuine photographs of myself - I recently received a verified tick. 

So my question is - why am I receiving virtually no orders? Is it me, have I been quietly blacklisted, or is this an issue all level 1 and 2 sellers are experiencing due to the general climate thanks to ChatGPT? I track a pro-verified seller on Fiverr who currently has 56 orders in her queue, but her price point is around $90-$100 - So clearly, there is plenty of high-end work available, but my Fiverr journey seems to have ended. 

Any thoughts are welcome. 

Is it just me? From $3k per month to $30...
