Just felt I would share (was asked to actually) a chat I had recently with our beloved @writer99025 as I think it might help some others to really get things kickstarted.
For those who don’t know him, Writer is a TRS writer and has been on Fiverr for 4 years. He delivers good work and is extremely professional but has never raised his prices before.

Well Brother Eoin, lightning has struck. Believe it or not. 😀 (Writer raised prices for the first time in 4 years…not by much, but small step for man, giant leap for mankind sort of stuff. LOL.)

Then some discussion and chat along with the obligatory mention of Modi

Today - 2:40 PM
Haha, can you tell the folks on Fiverr forum that increasing the prices works? Writer is really mad at himself for taking so long to do it. LOL.

Me
Lol, why, whats happened?

@writer99025
Getting the same number of orders as before, if not more after just 2 days of implementing the change, double price…From now on, I’m gonna put my thinking caps on, like you, for as long as I’m here. Haha.
Me
Lol, that’s fantastic!
Not everything I say is rubbish - sometimes I get it right 🙂

More chat and then a “see ya later” - no mention of Modi! He is a changed man I tell you!

Some relevant threads for those who are struggling, have less orders than before, are unsure of what their Fiverr future holds or just want to make things happen with their Fiverr sales:

Following a comment from @jamesbulls a couple of days ago regarding communicating value to buyers I have spent some time thinking on this extremely important topic. It is something that we have all heard people say to us "You must explain your value" “Don’t focus on price, focus on value” “If you don’t value yourself then neither will buyers”.

Of course, Modi would be mentioned. That is how you could tell for sure that Writer wrote the message and not someone who hacked into his account. :rofl:

@writer99025 I am counting the days until you are back on the Forum. I miss you. 😘

It took a while, but glad to see he finally found his way 🙂

We’ve asked him to do it for years.

That is the amazing thing about rising prices, the orders don’t drop off, you just make a bunch more:

Where else can you double your salary in a day? I have never regretted raising prices and wish more in my category would.

Anyway, Congratulations to @writer99025

So PMing Writer is allowed? He referred to me as being like his mom once. So I had taken to calling him, my son. I am missing him. Can he still read the Forum? I am gathering information in case I want to be a renegade. 😂

People who are suspended cannot login to the forum so they dont see PMs.

I chat with him in Inbox now and then. I don’t suggest that people initiate that though - I have history with him as a buyer too so we dont affect each other’s response rate.

I had taken to calling him, my son. I am missing him

Just get the fatted calf ready for when he returns.

I’m happy he finally raised his prices too and am looking forward to his return.

There is one subject we all must remember to not discuss with him-marriage:
