Today, I completed a rush order on Fiverr to experience the fast client process. However, my client was extremely busy. Despite their hectic schedule, I managed to finish the order within 24 hours. Unfortunately, due to the limited communication, the full fast client experience couldn't be realized."

Alhamdulillah I got the First Order 😋

Hello everyone! 😁 I'm reaching out to inquire about your experiences with Fiverr's new rating system and how much it bugs or feels unfair to you. I've been a member of Fiverr for about 3 months now, and things have been going relatively well. I've been receiving orders consistently, progressing from Level 0 to Level 1, and soon to Level 2. I've garnered nothing but positive reviews and feedback from my clients, with a Success Score of 8. However, suddenly and without any apparent reason, my Success Score plummeted to 7. I reached out to Fiverr for clarification but received no satisfactory explanation. Despite continuing to deliver high-quality work with positive impact and feedback, my Success Score dropped again today, this time to 6. I've maintained an 8 all along, yet in just two weeks, I've dropped two levels without any negative impact. Fiverr's customer support seems unable to provide a reasonable explanation. It's evident that priority support for Fiverr Plus members is just another scheme to extract more money from us. Has anyone else experienced similar issues? How does this new system, which Fiverr's customer support can't explain, work? We work tirelessly to satisfy clients and build our portfolios, but Fiverr's system seems to work against us. Their system downgrades us seemingly out of nowhere. As a result, I'm receiving fewer inquiries and less visibility for my gigs. It's frustrating and demoralizing. I'm seriously considering leaving the platform altogether. Please share your experiences. Have you encountered similar challenges? Is Fiverr becoming an unreliable platform for freelancers? I'm deeply confused and frustrated by these developments.

Preparing your Fiverr Profile Description (and, if you would like, an accompanying video) might seem intimidating at first, but there’s good news! Introducing yourself to potential customers is an important part of building a presence on Fiverr. Your profile description and Intro Video have a similar goal—to give potential Buyers a sense of who you are—not only what you can do. This is a significant opportunity to set yourself apart from the competition and project confidence in your ability to meet the Buyer’s needs. You won’t simply list your qualifications but discuss your success—why people love your work and how much you enjoy delivering a quality job to your Buyers. You may have many competitors on Fiverr with similar experiences, but only some will welcome Buyers and make sure they feel comfortable about spending their hard-earned money. Putting that extra effort into your profile can make a difference in converting a shopper into a Buyer. Likewise, creating a short video introduction can also have a major impact on your sales. While you may initially feel hesitant about looking into a camera and “trying to talk naturally,” here are a few pointers to keep in mind. 1. Don’t make your introduction too long or too complicated. Instead, keep your video under a minute and focus on a simple outline: A greeting, a short description, and an expression of why you love doing what you do. 2. Be upbeat. A smile and a good tone can go a long way to make Buyers feel welcome to your Gig and start connecting with you to be the expert that they will choose. Be conversational—in other words, speak as if you’re introducing yourself to a new friend. You’re not making a speech. Instead, you’re telling a story. 3. Be conversational—in other words, speak as if you’re introducing yourself to a new friend. You’re not making a speech. Instead, you’re telling a story. If you’re uncomfortable, practice telling a friend about your Fiverr account. While it may seem unusual, the key to appearing comfortable on camera is to remember that you’re talking to a person. So look at the camera—but don’t talk into it—always speak to the Buyer. Buyers love to see samples of previous work so you can include some samples of previous work in the background of the video as you speak. A similar format can be followed for the Gig’s Videos which can increase your conversion especially with business Buyers that will often want to get to know more about the Seller before placing an order.

Believe it or not, Fiverr made my dream come true. I picked up my first instrument (guitar) when I was 7 years old, and studied with youtube and learnt from my older friends who were such good instrumentists. Later, I've picked up on piano as well, but I never had the chance to convince my parents to follow a musical school, and had to do it on my own. When I was in highschool, I got myself a copy of Ableton (which is a digital audio workstation) with the allowance money. Since then, I've experimented with producing music for myself, but never had the guts to release anything. The signs were there, but I always hesitated to pursue my dream of composing music for a living. Then, in University, I graduated Law School, and practised law, as a legal advisor for 4 years. The only constant in my life so far, was producing music and experimenting with music and sound design. In 2021, I've enrolled myself in a music production course, and realised that my level was quite advanced, eventhought I was self-taught. That gave me the courage to concieve the idea of maybe I can make some pocket-money out of this in my spare time. Therefore, in October 2022, I've found Fiverr and it's business model of Gigs, and decided to try it out. At the time, I asked my cousin for help, since he knew much more about sales and marketing, and also we were not looking for a quick cash grab. I was in charge of composing and producing the music, and he was in charge of sales & marketing. We found our niche of Video Game Music, since we are avid gamers, and the time spent playing videogames served well on my side, knowing how the music enhances different events and feelings that the game should express, and on his side it helped a lot when briefing with the customers, knowing what questions to ask. We even had some excel sheets with essential questions and flavour questions. We were very organised, and treated freelancing here as a very serious business. We analyzed our competition, learnt a lot from them, and created our first Gig which was priced, of course, at 5$. We've got 3 orders in the first 2 weeks (which was crazy if you think about it), and after that it was radio silence until January. In January we got another order, and things slowly picked up, and by March 2023, we were having around 15 orders/month on average. Then, we hit a brick wall, and decided to create our second gig, third gig and so on, and improve our first one to scale it as much as possible. From April 2023, it really started growing and the orders were quite constant. Unfortunately, in late May 2023, my cousin left since he had to focus on University studies, and there I was, having to learn the ropes of sales and marketing (which I never wanted to do, but I had to do it). By July 2023, the income made from composing music on Fiverr summed with the income from composing music outside FIverr surpassed the income I was having from my law dayjob and made me think that I could do this full time. At this time, I was working 8hr/day at the office, and 4 hr/day in the evening as a part-time job composing music on Fiverr. When the orders were piling up, there were numerous times I had to wake up 2 hours before going to office, to make sure I can create and deliver quality for my customers. This way, some days were 14+hours filled with work, and burned me out a bit. That's when I've took the risk and decided I want to pursue my calling instead of the boring office job I didn't liked. Therefore, in October 2023 I've quit my job and went freelancing full time. The first 3 months were super scary, and I often had the anxiety of thinking I did the wrong thing. The income was low, customers were fewer than before and most of my orders were from returning customers. But I was the happiest man on earth, since I did what I loved to earn my bread. Since I had a lot of free time, I've re-thinked how I marketed myself and did some drastic changes to my offers, my Gigs, and did a lot of A-B testing. In December 2023, being quite unsatisfied with my performance, I took the decision on joining the Seller Plus program and get in touch with my Succes Manager. And God, how the things changed since then. I was blessed to have the chance to meet the most involved person that helped me develop my Fiverr business and presence way further than I've ever expected. Always responsive, always helpful. With the advices from the Succes Manager and the will to risk it all for my passion, I've powered trough and took even more drastic decisions for my 2 most performing gigs. And you know what? It worked! Since then I'm having my best time here and each month is better than the last. Now I finally raised enough ammount of money to build my new recording and producing studio. I've finally received the City Permit (Authorization to Build) and the studio should be done by October 2024. All of this with the help of Fiverr which made it really easy for me (I'm not the most tech-savy person) to sell my talent and skill. Since October 2022, I've completed more than 230 Orders (90 of them being completed in the last 3 months), composed over 300 soundtracks, created sound effects and designed sound for over 100 indie video games. If you could tell my past self that this will happen, it wouldn't ever believe you. I know it's not much compared to other sellers that I look up to in my category and further, but I want to give back and hopefully help the new sellers that just started their journey here, and learn from my mistakes. This is what worked for me: Treat every order like it's your first. I had to learn this the hard way. At some point, after I got a consistent number of sales, I was starting to streamline my process of receiving orders and deliver them. Don't get me wrong, I do believe that a good business has to be streamlined to be the most efficient, but until you're not having 10 orders/day, it's not the case. My mistake was that I was less involved in the communication with my customers, and eventhought my products were higher quality than the ones from my first months of selling here, I wasn't retaining the customers like I did before. I realised that from that period of time (aproximately 3 months) there were only 2 customers that returned, while from the earlier timeframe (before streamlining my briefing and delivering process) there is still a great number of returning customers up to this day. Get involved and understand their needs personally and authentic, and they will stick with you even months later. Be prepared to revise over and over again. Of course I've started with unlimited revisions. After the first few months, I've encountered "that customer" that requested revision after revision and micromanaged everything that came into the production process, to a point where I've asked myself if he's a professional, dropshipping my services. The order lasted 2 weeks over the initial delivery time agreed. I was burned out and made the mistake of letting my ego take the wheel and confronted the customer on his practise. He accepted the delivery, never left a public review, but left a private review that hurt me even 6 months after that order. This was way before the new system was implemented, and with the help of my Succes Manager I've found out there's a private review hurting me like a truck. Now you think, "well, I can limit my revisions to only 2" but that don't work either. I've had customers keeping me in a 5+ revisions loop eventhought my offer included only 2. Don't make the mstake I've made and think the number of agreed revisions will be respected by your customers. Be prepared to revise over and over again each time you meet "that customer", because there will always be one at your frontdoor. Power trough that and provide your best service, since most of the buyers aren't unreasonable. This is how the revision system works sadly, and it's better to addapt and overcome it, especially when you're not like 500+ reviews in and a private one can hurt you even months after. Be authentic. Don't try to copy others in your category. Analyze their gigs, services and offers, and try to do better, of course, but don't try to imitate what they're doing since it's very less likely that you'll steal their audience, especially if you're looking up to seasoned sellers. The market is indeed very plentyful and customers are bombarded with 17.000 gigs when searching a certain category, but don't forget that you're selling on the internet. There will always be someone that will choose you because your unique traits. I've made the mistake to try to do what my competitors do, starting from the keywords, the style of the thumbnails, the style of how they've wrote Gig's description, and so on. Didn't worked. Why would've anyone pick me instead of my competitor who has more reviews than me and it's been there before I was? The momment I've realised this, and decided just to be myself and create my Gigs the way I thought it was good, I started gathering like-minded customers that are returning regularely, and the new ones are pretty much "my cup of tea", with of course the little exceptions (see "that customer" from above that creeps at your inbox right now). Use translation tools. As you might see from my writing, english is not my first language. Don't expect your customers to be english teachers or natives. When briefing with the customer, it's very important that you are 100% sure of what's the task and it's flavours. If you see your customer struggles to explain and you're not 100% sure of what are the fine details of the needed work, don't do my mistake and take the order and find out when you're delivering. You're loosing important time. Your time! Instead, you can see where your customer's from, translate your question in his language, send it and kindly ask him/her to respond in their native language. It happened to me many times that I had to "guess" some specific details, and since using translation tools to make sure I understand what's needed to be done exactly, the revision requests are fewer. Don't try closing the deal as soon as possible. When starting, I was always trying to close the deal as soon as possible, to make sure the potential customer won't pivot to other seller. Don't do my mistake! Make sure you put a lot of emphasis on the briefing process, since (at least in my field of work) customer requests are very subjective. If you're talking about art (music and audio in my case), some customers will see as "perfect" something that you don't. Take your time and discuss every little detail to make sure you understand their vision before accepting the order. It's risky because you might loose the potential customer to another seller? Well, yes, but it's more important to make sure you deliver exactly what your customer needs, and not get stuck in a revision loop or get over the deadline with "last minute details". Remember that every action has a direct consequence on your ranking spot and your gig's traffic, so think twice before saying you got all you need to start working on the order. Provide early drafts. It saves you so much time! With an early draft, you can make sure you won't loose your time in the wrong direction. Maybe you had all the needed details from the customer when starting the work, but guess what? There are a lot of customers that change their mind overnight. Provide them a draft as soon as humanly possible and ask for confrmation, so your time won't be wasted re-doing the job. I used to deliver the work without providing an early draft and it was a mistake. Almost 1/4 of my customers changed their mind overnight and shifted the key elements that we've agreed on initially, and when asking for the revision, I had to change structural elements of my work, resulting in almost re-doing everything since I had to addapt the rest of the work to their new requests. Educate your customers. I was just delivering the order and hoped for a returning customer. It was lazy, and it was a mistake. Before/When delivering, try to put together a small debrief on what you've actually done in your work. Your customers aren't stupid and eventhought you're an expert on your field, you could be surprised on how much your customers can learn from you and how that can beneffit you on future orders. Not long ago I've started sending my customers an explanation text with what instruments I've used, why I've used them, what's their role, what's the musical theory behind the composition and what's my personal take on all those things. This thing works! Next time you're collaborating, you'll have a much easier time to transpose customer's vision into your service, because they will know how to answer your specific questions! Give your customers some options You have that potential customer that wants to buy your 50$ service, but his budget is only 35$? I used to turn down those customers since my highest discount rate was at 20% and that way I lost potential returning customers! It was a mistake. Instead, at some point I've decided I'll take those requests, but I'll double down on the delivery time. Instead of 5 days delivery time, offer it in 10 days. That way, you will not loose a potential returning customer and you won't have to fit that project into your main scheddule. You can do it whenever you have a spare hour or two, since your delivery time is doubled! It works like a charm to me, and you'll be shocked on how many customers are not in a rush, eventhought they say so in their first message. Time is money, friend! Collect your own data I made the mistake on relying on memory and on the data shown by analytics to drive my business. Don't do that. It will save you a lot of time and you'll make informed decisions if you make your own spreadsheed with everything that happens with a relevancy for your Gigs. Try to track the most important stuff, such as: keywords performance, new customers/time frame, returning customers/time frame, types of projects done, the most asked questions or inquiries by your customers, orders that landed you tips and WHY that happened, changes made to the gig related to key factors etc. Be patient If you're treating every order like it's your first order, it's impossible not to grow. Don't make the mistake I've done by panicking when orders are not coming. It's not worth your time and your mental health. Instead, be patient, do your best on the services you provide, and try to slowly build your returning customer base. The best you can do proactively, is to fine-tune your Gigs, but be careful with that, since back-to-back changes might screw up the ranking algorithm (source for this is my Succes Manager). If you're looking to do A-B testing, wait at least 3-4 weeks in between, to have at least the minimum data to compare. I feel like there are much more to be told, but I just realised this post will take an eternity to read anyway, so I'll stop for now. I really hope my journey of pursuing my dream with Fiverr's help can motivate you and give you the strenght to power-trough rough moments, and that you can find something positive in the lessons I've learnt from my mistakes. Don't give up, and trust your skills and talent!

I am new to Fiverr and I have a question about Voice Overs. I have noticed many sellers have video footage in their profiles. How are people obtaining these? I know some sellers have probably done TV ads so they have access to video. But I doubt there are really that many people who have voiced BMW or Buffalo Wild Wings commercials. Do people just rip off a commercial and add their own voice to it? Do you just get stock footage somewhere and make your own VO and script? Is there some feature of Fiverr I am missing here? I don't understand how even some new sellers can have pristine video even if the audio quality isn't always good. I feel very overwhelmed picking my best audio clips from my career and now am having to worry about video. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Fiverr could send a message (inbox or email) to all Fiverr users (or at least those who haven't received any orders who might not know how the Fiverr system works but sending it to all users might be better), warning them to be careful of scams in the Fiverr inbox, eg. those that ask to click on/scan QR codes, eg. saying their account can't make/receive orders until they've done what the scammer (pretending to be Fiverr/Fiverr Support) asks. But also those scams where they don't ask people to scan/click on a QR code. Since there's a big financial risk (people can get scammed out of everything in their bank account if they enter the info that they are asked for in the link they click/scan which seems to them to be part of Fiverr's system) as well as ID theft risk, sending warning messages to users should help reduce the chance of people losing a lot. There could also be warnings sent in future for all new sellers/buyers. Fiverr could also do other things to minimize the risk, such as not allowing users to change their display name to "Fiverr" or "Fiverr Support" (as was suggested previously but it still seems like people are setting their display name to things like that), checking every inbox message for QR codes that could contain a malicious link (they could check the data in the QR code image after 1st checking it contains a QR code and see where the link goes (and whether the URL has "fiverr" at the start of it), or auto-flag any inbox messages that contain QR codes unless there's a valid reason for them eg. because the seller has gigs related to that). Fiverr could also add more checks for phrases used in those messages, and if the scam text is only in an attached image then Fiverr could check the text in those images (using OCR functions) to check for phrases used by scammers.

Another one of the "golden sellers" on Fiverr are leaving. She'll remain nameless, but she did post a rather interesting Youtube video about why. It seems she’s had her fill and is ditching Fiverr for many of the same reasons echoed by other sellers here on the forum, including yours truly. For the record, I’m not quitting Fiverr. Despite its flaws, I believe it still has a lot to offer me as a freelancer. However, Fiverr’s struggle to retain real pro's is becoming glaringly obvious, when multiple million-dollar sellers are leaving. A sticking point for many is their 20% commission. Personally, I just factor this into my rates, but others argue that it’s steep compared to fees on other platforms. In her YouTube video, she also spoke on how Fiverr penalizes sellers for taking breaks. Although Fiverr claims to have adressed this, the reality is that sellers often see a drop in their business, even after taking just a weekend off. Speaking of which, the platform’s gamified tyranny is pretty much a slap in the face during times when the conversation around freelancer wellness is louder than ever. She also speaks on having experienced burnout, a common issue among Fiverr sellers, whether it's due to demanding buyers, incessant work, the pressure to always be on-call, or Fiverr’s relentless gamification of everything. Like sharks, if we take a break and stop swimming, we die. Many are buckling under these strains, and Fiverr is exacerbating the problem. No, the solution is not to regurgitate AI-generated nonsense about caring, or arranging a low rent webinar about dealing with the stress you caused. “I think of Fiverr as training wheels for a freelancer,” was a quote from her video that got stuck with me. Is that all it is, or can established pro's genuinely thrive and expand a business on Fiverr? Is the stress worth it? And what could Fiverr do to alleviate this pressure and support its established freelancers? Because their current strategy of doubling down on undisclosed AI-generated garbage, feigning transparency, and putting established professionals through a grinder that can kill your business on a whim, is not it.
