Anyone have slow down in their sales?

[Guest philos]

Hi fellow sellers, has anyone experienced steady sales and then have two weeks of nothing? I’m good with it but how would you handle it if you could improve. I could drive traffic to it however its not a guaranteed sale.

Well, a lot of people focus on the small sales, I focus on the up-sell. Rather than $5, I would prefer $165. One $165 order is the equivalent of convincing 33 people to buy $5 gigs. From my experience, it’s actually easier to convince at least 1 out of 33 people to buy an $165 order, rather than convincing 33 random people to buy $5 ones. I have had people wish they could actually order more but alas, I am not a top-rated seller yet so I can’t set higher price brackets(despite knowing that people would order them in a lot of cases.) and it’s a bit of a hassle for some buyers to place multiple big orders. In relation to smaller orders, I plan on diversifying and offering many easy to deliver minimal time investment services. I figure with a variety to choose from that if one gig slows down, another will be picking up it’s slack in the mean time.

Yaa My sells slow down, but don’t understand why?

[Guest philos]

Other competitors with a better rating is my guess. Fiverr favorites get the business first then we take up the slack.

Have your gig views slow down as well? If so play around with your tags and content

[seochica]

All my co-seller (top rated, top reviewed) friends are seeing massive slow downs in business…like 85%, which holds true for me, as well.

[dr_joshua]

Me too. I have seen a huge slowdown in sales in the last couple of days.

[atikur1]

It is very much true for me. I don’t get order at all for many days

[Guest adultstories]

Yep same happened to me, nothing for 2 weeks and now 4 orders in 2 days so hopefully it’s coming back! 🙂

[jimmysandiego]

yes, I’ve experienced and abnormal slow down of sales too…

[jasveena]

this is very true! For the past one week, my orders have slowed down tremendously

[megablaster]

oh my god…! that’s 100% true. same with me.



It’s a really slow down in sales.

very rarely I’m having a message from a customer theses days.



Can’t we do something for this…? :-w



(I don’t know whether you guys agree with me, I think this is not a problem with the publicity of our gigs)

[dr_joshua]

I had posted yesterday that I have also seen my sales go down but today I have seen them jump up!

[atechkid]

I noticed the slowdown initially when promoted to level 2. After a few weeks it was back on track. It just goes up and down for me.

it’s like any business…it can depend on the season. When school is out or in, your sales might be affected. I’m relatively new to fiverr and I’ve had some days where nothing happens and I feel something has gone wrong because no gigs come in. I’m starting to look into offering more gigs. If you only offer ONE gig, you are putting all your eggs in one basket, so to speak. Offer a variety of gigs. As I read through these forums and study the successful fiverr sellers, I notice some of them have a TON of gigs under their name…and I don’t mean 2 or 3 gigs. Offer more, make more!

[freddyfiver]

ha ha ha…as soon as I posted that, I went over to your gigs page and realize you DO have 10 gigs! LOL…and ALL OF THEM have slowed down?

[alliemadison12]

My gigs have been very slow!

[Guest philos]

@allie,Even a top sellar and yours is slow. My theory of fiverr favorites is out.

to all: Holiday season is here, that could be one factor. Has anyone been here a year and did it affect sales during the holidays?

[alliemadison12]

Reply to @philos: Yup Fiverr doesn’t pick favorites! In fact, I think they prefer to give lesser known sellers more exposure.

[jasveena]

O.o so holidays in the US can affect sales greatly I suppose.

[mohaplaban]

Yes, true… very slow for me 😦

[Guest philos]

they’ve given exposure to all the new members that hit the 3 mil mark also, does anyone not agree?

[inspirewriting]

Please am new in fiverr business, am a writer but no one seems to patronize me, pls someone should help me and tell me what i should do to start making sells pls.

[seducea]

I used to get a minimum of 5 orders per day on crappy days and up to 20 on good days for my single gig… now its been almost a week and iv had around 5 orders for the whole week. These past two weeks have been pretty crappy…

[appexplorer]

luckily i have crossed my first level. its been 23 days only and im happy with my sales but ofcourse it has gone down…lets see when it picks up
