Hello, is the tip feature still there on Fiverr, can sellers still get tips from buyers if they do good work or the only way to get extra money from buyers are by offering extras?

Share some tips about how to grow on fiverr?

Hey!😄 Welcome as a new member! If you put good energy into Fiverr and truly want to succeed, there's a real chance! It doesn't matter how many other freelancers there are; if you put the right energy in and don't try to take shortcuts, you can succeed! Even as a newcomer, you can get clients before those at the top, which I have! There are clients who will look for sellers who aren't at the top, and those are the ones you should try to attract until you reach the top! Fiverr can become a great source of income, and I haven't been on Fiverr for long either, but I'm already making incredibly good income on Fiverr, and now I get clients almost every day, showing that I've done things right from the start and put a lot of time and love into my gigs, images, and portfolio. It's crucial if you want to succeed! If you use copied or generic images from Google for your gigs, you won't stand out and will just blend in! Take the time to do everything yourself, including gig descriptions! Put full energy into what you do! Here is some tips from me: **Be Unique**: Create gigs that offer something unique and valuable to customers. Avoid copying others and focus on providing genuine value for money. **Optimize Your Gigs**: Spend time optimizing your gig titles, descriptions, and tags to make them more searchable. Use relevant keywords that potential clients are likely to use when searching for services like yours. **Quality Over Quantity**: Focus on delivering high-quality work rather than trying to offer the cheapest prices. Clients are willing to pay for quality, so ensure that your services stand out for their excellence. **Invest in Your Brand**: Take the time to create professional-looking gig images, write compelling gig descriptions, and build a strong portfolio that showcases your skills and previous work. **Engage with Clients**: Build strong relationships with your clients by providing excellent customer service and addressing their needs promptly. This will lead to positive reviews and repeat business. **Stand Out from the Crowd**: Differentiate yourself from your competitors by offering unique services, excellent customer service, and a memorable brand experience. **Focus on Quality**: Prioritize quality over quantity in your work. Deliver exceptional results to each client, and they'll be more likely to recommend you to others. **Manage Your Time Wisely**: Don't stress about not getting many orders in the beginning. Focus on delivering quality work to the clients who do reach out to you, and the orders will come. **Track Your Performance**: Keep track of your performance metrics, such as completion rate (CR) and click-through rate (CTR), and use them to identify areas for improvement and measure your progress. **Persistence Pays Off**: Success on Fiverr takes time and effort. Stay patient, keep improving your skills, and continue delivering excellent service, and you'll see results over time. If you're genuine, unique, and truly put passion and heart into your work, I personally believe that anyone can succeed. But standing out from the crowd is tough; however, do things wholeheartedly and take no shortcuts! Don't try to make quick money through shortcuts or quick fixes. Do it for real, and you'll stand out! That's the key for me! Remember, success on Fiverr is achievable with dedication, quality work, and a commitment to customer satisfaction. i wish you all the Good luck! Best Reguards Oscar

Hello, I've been a fiverr seller since 2020, and I noticed some changes in the buyers "search for sellers" mechanism last month. I have doubts that this depends in part on the evaluation system changes, so I'm here to understand if some other sellers noticed this thing or if I'm the only one XD. In the last month, my gig impressions were 20% lower than the previous months, but I'm receiving an average of 3 "It's a match" offers from Fiverr every day (the majority of them are not fit for my skills). Before the update, I was receiving something like 1 "It's a match" per week, 20 times less than now! To give some context, my Success Score is 10/10, and it has never changed since the update, so I should be one of the top sellers for my gig field, so my impressions should have been at least stationary. So I'm thinking that Fiverr is pushing buyers to create general proposals (it would explain why I have so many "It's a match") instead of searching for an appropriate gig for their projects. Is someone else noticing this kind of change? I like Fiverr more than other platforms because of this buyer-seller mechanism, but it seems to me that Fiverr is going in Upwork direction. Thanks, Giulio

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!

How can a newcomer stand out from a list of established sellers?

So, I have had my account for 2 years. During this time, I have continuously improved my gig thumbnails and SEO. However, I only receive approximately 100 impressions per week, which I believe indicates poor performance. To date, I have had only 8 sales: 3 were made last year, and 5 were made this year. I would appreciate any tips on how I can grow my account. Here are all my gigs: https://www.fiverr.com/s/E8XN0q https://www.fiverr.com/s/Lrmqej https://www.fiverr.com/s/NXk8NR https://www.fiverr.com/s/2b69pq https://www.fiverr.com/s/A5Ekpq

Now sellers who rely on ChatGPT to communicate for them can also use the magic of artificial everything to do Zoom calls on Fiverr. I won't be naming the software here (do your own darn legwork!), but it is rather impressive. AI video has been capable for a while now of making it look like you're "always looking at the camera", which is very useful for when AI interview software is listening to difficult questions and feeding you answers. AI photography can work from, let's say 30 headshots, in your phone gallery to create a "you" (and of course make you look nice instead of the terrifyingly ugly mess you actually are). It can then turn that gorgeous headshot into a talking video, complete with hand movements, nods, and other slightly repetitive natural gestures! If not in real time, then soon. Oh, and it'll also clone your voice. What's that, the interview's in another language like say, English? No problem. You don't actually know anything about the job or what you do because AI has reduced your brain to the size of a raisin and all you know how to do is write prompts? No problem. Feed the AI with knowledge and sound smart. === That's just a few of the things this did. Is it any good? I have no idea, but even if it isn't that good now, it will be a lot better soon and close to perfect later on. What I will say is that the demo looked really impressive. The guy was gurning and thumbs-upsing for a TikTok video as the interview continued in the background. Anyway, I know quite a few people use Zoom calls to establish their humanity and realness and knowledge - but that advantage is rapidly disappearing. Side-note: this kind of technology is almost certainly going to start being used by scammers in the near future. Be careful, children, and remember Fiverr has no AI disclosure policies. Quick question for Fvierr Staff, on the off-chance that anyone reads this on the single day of the week that is the weekend in TLV and the West: What measures is Fiverr taking to prevent this kind of technology from being used in its on-platform Zoom calls? I ask, because it's very clear that many sellers and buyers are not as AI-aware as they could be, leaving them vulnerable - and many users already fall victim to less sophisticated scams. As a platform, you do have some duty of care here. In brighter news, it looks like regulations will soon mandate the watermarking of generative AI-created stuff, which should help actual detection rates increase a lot. Bad news for the people who are building entire businesses around their ability to "write" and "draw" and whatever else when their actual ability is that of a sprouting potato.

Getting your first order on Fiverr can be challenging but with a few strategic steps, you can increase your chances of landing that initial gig. Here are some tips to help you get started: Create a Compelling Profile: Your profile should clearly communicate who you are, what skills you offer, and why clients should choose you. Include a professional profile picture and a detailed description of your professional background. Develop Attractive Gigs: Your gig offerings should be clear, well-written, and appealing. Use high-quality images or videos to showcase your services. Clearly explain what the gig entails, the deliverables, the timeline, and the price. Offer Competitive Pricing: When starting out, you might want to price your services competitively to attract your first clients. Consider offering more value or bonuses (like faster delivery or a small extra service for free) to stand out. Use SEO Techniques: Optimize your gig titles and descriptions with relevant keywords that potential clients might use to find services like yours. This helps in making your gigs more visible in Fiverr’s search results. Promote Your Gigs: Share your Fiverr gigs on your social media channels, blogs, or websites to increase visibility. You can also network with potential clients in related forums or groups. Be Responsive: Quick and professional responses to inquiries and orders can set you apart from competitors. Make sure to maintain good communication throughout the service period. Deliver Quality Work: Ensure that you deliver the best quality work and meet deadlines. Satisfied clients are more likely to return or recommend your services to others. Starting with smaller or easier projects can help you build up your profile and reviews. Patience and persistence are key, as it may take some time to get that first order and gain momentum.

As a new Seller on Fiverr, the idea of having a full inbox and a steady influx of orders is very exciting! However, the reality can quickly get overwhelming. Once your gigs start to gain some attention, you will notice a significant increase in business. You must learn how to manage Buyer demand and your personal availability, so you can give each order the necessary attention. Otherwise, you risk a drop in Buyer satisfaction, order cancellations, late deliveries, and negative reviews - all of which impact your business. Learning to manage your workload will also help you achieve a healthy work-life balance. Whether your freelance business is your main source of income or a side hustle, taking on too many orders at once can cause you to overwork yourself. Your mental health and well-being are critical to your personal and professional success. Managing Incoming Orders Although Fiverr Buyers can head to your Gig page and place an order without warning, there are still ways to manage incoming orders: 1. Extend turnaround times Offering quick turnaround times is a great way to increase the value of your services. However, if you are struggling to deliver on time, you may submit work that is not up to your standards. Go into your Gig settings and extend each timer by one day to better set expectations and give yourself a time buffer. You can always change it back once you learn to work faster and more efficiently. 2. Communicate honestly When communicating with prospective Buyers, be upfront and honest about your current workload. Let them know that you are very interested in working together and that you can deliver as soon as [X date]. It can be tempting to make exceptions for Buyers who are willing to pay more for extra-fast delivery, but it’s important to prioritize your mental health and orders that have already begun. It’s okay to let Buyers know that you are unable to fulfill their request right now and would be happy to help them out in the future. 3. Request an extension If a Buyer places an order before you have a chance to discuss your availability, you may request to extend the delivery date. When doing so, be sure to communicate that you value their business and want to give their order the attention it deserves. Most often, Buyers will appreciate the fact that you know your limits and will take the time you need to deliver a high-quality product. Managing Availability If the volume of orders is too high, and you’ve already followed the steps above to manage your workload, adjust your availability. Here are tips for taking advantage of the Set Availability feature: 1. Use it to catch up on orders If you need to take a break from answering new messages and receiving new orders, you can essentially pause your profile by setting yourself as Unavailable. If you have the capacity, you can choose to still accept messages from new Buyers and let them know that you aren’t accepting new orders at the moment, but you would be happy to get an order going with an extended delivery time. 2. Take some personal time It’s necessary to take time for yourself, your family, and other important things in your life! When you need to focus on things unrelated to work, set your profile to Unavailable for as much time as you need. Depending on how long you’re away, you may realize that your ranking might have changed once you are back, which is normal as your competitors may continue to complete orders and get buyer satisfaction responses while you are away. As you complete the orders your ranking can go back to where it was before. In addition to managing your incoming orders and availability, you can lean on others for support! If you frequently realize that you have more work than you can handle, it might be time to build a team that you can lean on. There are other excellent Sellers on Fiverr, such as virtual assistants or people in your industry, to whom you can delegate tasks. Want to read more?

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?

While this isn't a bad strategy per se, it should be coupled with several of the other tips mentioned above if you want to get the best results! Doing these things alone may be seen as spam to many and can have adverse effects. Also, concerning hashtags, each platform has a recommended amount of hashtags to use. More isn't always better when it comes to hashtags so it's important to follow the best practices of the platform you are using.

Hello, I'm curious if there's any official info that the success score takes few years into consideration? If that's the case, it will put us old sellers at a very huge disadvantage as I will be so difficult to recover from all those years that you thought you were doing good based on the old metrics, keeping them at 100%. A new seller on the other hand can easily fix their score since they don't have 700+ orders for example

Do any single one of you sellers have observed an increase in their success scores yet? Please reply because it is kind of disturbing for me now. Many Thanks.

Welcome to fiverr forum! Take time to read through the forum for a lot of tips and information. Good luck 👍

Is it possible for buyers to invite (ask) sellers (freelancers) to create custom offers for your requests (briefs)? Or, to put it even more simply, is there any way for buyers to give sellers a link to their requests? Or can buyers, at the very least, tell Fiverr employees which sellers the buyers are interested in working with, who the buyers think will be good matches? The last request I created on Fiverr as a buyer, I ended up copy-pasting all the information in a private chat to a seller.

I've been keeping tabs on you (duh, we're competitors) and as someone who's been in the game for a decade, it's cool to see a fellow Norwegian climbing the ranks so quickly. I can't help but think you might have picked up a few tricks from me, and if that's the case, I take it as a high compliment. If not, you're just a cool dude. 😄 You're spot on about several issues. I've had no problems with the new system personally, but I know many highly skilled sellers who've been demoted because AI has taken over. Fiverr's obsession with AI seems more about wooing investors than improving our experience. We're the ones who end up dealing with the mess. And the way AI determines rankings is even worse than you'd think. Yes, it considers factors like revisions, time extensions, refunds, feedback, support interactions, and keyword usage. Inside sources claim the process is "intuitive." But considering these are the same folks who gave us Neo, their definition of "intuitive" is, at best, dubious. The reality is, AI can glitch. AI makes errors. But no one at Fiverr seems to care because they're convinced AI can do no wrong. The recent nonsense spouted by staff, the regurgitated GPT content, and webinars urging writers to pass off AI-generated work as their own original creations are all evidence of their love affair with AI. I strongly believe buyer feedback should be the main criterion here, and it still is – to some extent. But from what I hear, this is just the tip of the iceberg. All the metrics mentioned earlier, along with additional factors such as your disputes, revision requests, both public and private reviews from the past few years, your interactions with buyers, and a variety of new metrics from reviews that include AI interpretations. That last bit is what'll get you. By guessing. Just like it does when writing the next word.

Making a good first impression as a seller on Fiverr is crucial for attracting clients and building a solid reputation. Here are some tips to help you make a positive impact: Create a Professional Profile: Your profile is your storefront. Use a clear, professional photo and write a concise, engaging bio that highlights your skills, experience, and what makes you unique. Offer Quality Services: Provide high-quality services that meet or exceed your clients' expectations. Deliver on time and go the extra mile to ensure customer satisfaction. Optimize Gig Titles and Descriptions: Craft compelling gig titles and descriptions that clearly explain what you offer and the value you provide. Use relevant keywords to help your gigs appear in search results. Use High-Quality Images and Samples: Include high-quality images, videos, or samples that showcase your work and demonstrate your expertise. Visuals can help attract potential buyers and give them confidence in your abilities. Set Competitive Prices: Research similar services on Fiverr and set competitive prices based on your skills, experience, and market demand. Avoid pricing yourself too low, as it may suggest low quality, but also be mindful not to overprice your services. Communicate Clearly and Promptly: Respond to messages and inquiries from potential clients promptly and professionally. Clear communication builds trust and demonstrates your reliability. Provide Exceptional Customer Service: Offer excellent customer service throughout the entire process, from initial contact to delivery and beyond. Be attentive to your clients' needs, answer their questions, and address any concerns they may have. Ask for Reviews and Feedback: Encourage satisfied clients to leave positive reviews and feedback on your profile. Positive reviews can help build credibility and attract more clients in the future. Stay Professional and Polite: Maintain a professional and courteous demeanor in all your interactions, even if faced with difficult clients or situations. A positive attitude can go a long way in building relationships and securing repeat business. Continuously Improve and Adapt: Stay updated on industry trends, learn new skills, and adapt your services to meet changing client needs. Continuous improvement demonstrates your commitment to excellence and can help you stand out from the competition. By following these tips and consistently delivering exceptional service, you can make a strong first impression as a seller on Fiverr and attract more clients to your gigs.
