  1. i am a new sellers i have uploaded my gigs i also have a done great seo but still waiting for my first order. how get orders fast?
  2. I had a gig score of 7 and then unfortunately got a 1.7* review. Then I completed eight more new orders. And out of these eight orders, 3 orders were automatically completed and in the remaining five orders I got 5* reviews and tipped in three orders. But today I am surprised by the gig score because my gig score has reduced from 6 to 5. Which I'm disappointed by and doubt if it's a bug on Fiverr. Please help me with any information regarding this.

  4. 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!

  7. Hello, My withdrawal of earnings have been blocked by customer support for the last 5-6 days. And customer support said that it was an issue with an order. And it was a misunderstanding with the buyer so I after I delivered everything as buyer requested, the buyer contacted the customer support and told that we are on good terms. The customer support also said that the buyer got back to them and told that I delivered everything as promised. It was a mere misunderstanding because the buyer was under a lot of stress. Now more than 24 hours have passed even after the buyer has confirmed that everything is delivered in the order, I still cannot withdraw my earnings... I'm waiting for 5-6 days to withdraw my balance but I still cannot do it. I had to join seller plus as well because I didnot get replies from the customer support from the get go for this issue. I need funds for an emergancy situation with my family and this is my hard earned money for the month of april. Im in an awful situation where my payments are being held and im helpless because Im also not getting a response from the customer support. They dont reply to any of the tickets I open. Anyone knows what I should do about this? I have been on fiverr for a long time and this is the first time that I'm experiencing and Unjust situation like this. This is what the customer support said 2 days ago And they have not replied to a single message of mine after this and my withdrawals are still blocked.
  8. Setting Gig prices on Fiverr is about balance. Buyers want to feel that they’re receiving value for their investment; Sellers want to feel that they’re being paid fairly for their work. Consider how Buyers look at your Gigs, and then consider the tools Fiverr has created to allow you to create a Gig that both sells and expands your earning opportunities. PACKAGES Most Fiverr Gigs allow for the creation of tiered “packages.” Essentially, these are variations on your basic Gig, increasing service levels and adjusting costs accordingly. For example, a writer might offer three packages offering documents of varying lengths—one for 500 words, another for 1000 words, and yet another for 2000 words, clear choices to fit the Buyer’s specific needs. Your packages might reflect other factors: a voice-over recording artist might offer something similar in the recorded length. One tier might offer a 30-second recording, another a 2-minute recording, and yet another recording an entire chapter of an audiobook. Pricing reflects both added value for the Buyer while respecting the value of the Seller’s service. EXTRAS Most Gigs also offer extras, allowing Buyers to customize your Gig to their needs by purchasing options to create precisely what they need. For example, one popular option is rush delivery in just one day. You may have set standard delivery for three days, but offering the option of paying a reasonable premium—and having that job delivered sooner is often appealing to entrepreneurs anxious to get a job done. Extras can represent all sorts of options, including additional research, added features, or supplementary rights. For example, artists offer a variety of rights allowing usage across specific media, and a visual artist might include extras offering editable source files. By offering added-cost extras, you can keep the cost of your basic packages low. As a result, Buyers will perceive your Gig as a good value but often spend more than the basic price. Extras offer an opportunity for the Buyer and potential for your income. RAISE YOUR PRICE! Finally, remember setting a price for your Gig, packages, and extras isn't a “set it and forget it” task. As you gain positive reviews, revisit your pricing periodically. Keep an eye on your competition, and don’t hesitate increasing your price as your experience and ratings grow. You’ve earned it! A good practice is to create a personal milestone to increase your package price by $5 once you reach 50 reviews and another $5 when you earn 100 reviews. Remember, your ratings and reputation on the site also signal to the Buyer that you’re a worthwhile investment. Raising your prices over time is vital to establish your value and legitimacy and to drive your growth. Some Buyers may be concerned that raising prices might slow sales, but perception is everything. Modest incremental increases (as opposed to suddenly doubling the price of a successful Gig) are in your best interest and will increase the perception and trust of potential Buyers. And remember, you can change pricing anytime—up or down—depending on market conditions. Want to read more?

  10. Hello Fiverr Community, I recently encountered a situation on Fiverr that I believe warrants discussion and caution among fellow freelancers. I want to share my experience to raise awareness and potentially prevent others from facing similar challenges. I recently completed an order for a CRO audit. The client, an agency, did not specify that the order was on behalf of their client. The transaction seemed routine, with the client expressing satisfaction upon delivery. However, to my surprise, I received a disproportionately harsh review from them. What's concerning is that as a seller, I am unable to modify my review after seeing the client's feedback. Meanwhile, buyers have the freedom to adjust their ratings, creating an imbalance in the review system. In this specific case, I provided a "good experience" 5-star rating based on the assumption of receiving positive feedback in return. Over 500 reviews on my profile, I only have 3 reviews at 3/5 so it doesn't happen very often. However, the subsequent review was unexpectedly negative, leaving me feeling unfairly rated. This experience raises important questions about the fairness and transparency of the review process on Fiverr. Shouldn't sellers have the same opportunity as buyers to adjust their ratings, especially in cases of unjust feedback? I urge fellow freelancers to exercise caution and consider the potential risks when dealing with clients, particularly agencies representing third parties. Communication and clarity upfront are essential to avoid misunderstandings that could lead to unfair ratings. I wish I could change my review to flag the seller account and avoid to other freelancers a bad experience similar to mine... but it's not possible... Additionally, I'm concerned that while buyers can modify their ratings, as a seller, I always fear providing a low rating and consequently upsetting the client, leading them to change the rating to a lower one. I welcome your thoughts and experiences on this matter. Let's work together to ensure a fair and supportive environment for all members of the Fiverr community. Best regards, Alexis
  11. 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.
  12. I have Fiverr account create long time but I have no order. Please give me some tips, why increase my impression, click and order.
  13. I think sometimes you have to give an off to run something as it was going smoothly. Too much development could spread the negative development, that is happening right now with fiverr. I think success score thing was way more unnecessary thing to be introduced in. Fiverr should work on increasing the good working environment for the sellers here, because I think Top-Rated sellers are working with huge order aspects. whereas, fiverr should work on to make the sellers easy working ways and also keep the buyers attach to it. So than the business between buyers and sellers will grow. Just by pressurizing the sellers to give 200% will not solve the issue, it will make it worse.

  17. I've been with Fiverr for 10yrs. and with the new level system, I feel more in the dark than ever before. Since the launch of the new level system, I have received 4 five star reviews and a couple of tips. However, my success score has not moved at all! What does it take to make progress? It's a mystery. Only Fiverr knows. There are sooo many ways my numbers can take a dive overnight! But to move my numbers in a positive direction takes an act of God. There's NO transparency! Fiverr's private reviews are a complete joke. I have no way of knowing what a client is saying about me with their private review...but those reviews affect my overall numbers...really stupid. This is not transparency! With the new level system, my level dropped from a level 2 to a level 1 with no explanation! Now that I'm a level 1, the quality of my gig requests has gone down. I now receive "bottom of the barrel" gig requests that make "near nothing" money. Through no fault of my own, I feel like I've been forced to start all over again and climb the Fiverr mountain to where I once was a month ago. Fiverr has once again "moved the goal posts" to success.

Let's learn from each other and discover effective approaches to thriving in the competitive freelance marketplace.
  23. While we do our best to diligently vet users to safeguard buyers from dishonest sellers, we also encourage all buyers to play an active role in ensuring you're not falling prey to any scams while working with a freelancer on our platform. Here are key tips to consider when doing business on Fiverr: Use discretion when sharing sensitive information When working with freelancers, sharing sensitive information and data may be necessary for them to get the job done. If you are able, have freelancers use their own login credentials and add them as an admin. In these cases, adhere to the principle of least privilege; meaning granting admin access only for what is necessary for the job. In cases where sharing your password is unavoidable (e.g., for website building or community management), consider using a password manager as a secure way to share credentials. After project completion, be sure to properly offboard freelancers by revoking their access and, for added security, consider changing your passwords. Keep conversations limited to the platform It's crucial to restrict your communication with freelancers to the Fiverr platform. Not only does this adhere to our Terms of Service, but it also protects you from potential scams. Communicating off the platform complicates our ability to resolve any issues and makes it nearly impossible for us to intervene effectively. While we can typically review on-platform conversations, issue refunds, and address concerns, these actions become challenging if communication occurs outside the platform, which leads to far longer resolution times. Contact customer support If you ever feel uneasy during your collaboration with a seller, you don’t have to take matters into your own hands. Simply inform our Customer Support team as soon as possible. They will be able to investigate the situation, offer guidance to resolve concerns or assist in canceling the order if needed. Remember, while we implement various security measures to protect buyers, taking a few extra steps can further ensure a pleasurable and secure experience on the platform, free from scams and potential issues.
  24. Hello guys, I am a new seller here on Fiverr. What are the tips for me to make my FIRST sale?

  25. I found this gig that really needs some attention and as a buyer, while my budget is severely limited, I want to help them out the best way I can. I thought maybe doing the subscribe to save feature and buying a package every month would help, but what if I ordered a bunch off the bat? What would generate the most points in Fiverr's invisible algorithm scale? Also does the price matter at all? If I spend $5, would it generate the same kind of traffic as it'd generate if I spent $50? Let me know! Especially any ways I can help sellers in general.
