It took me over a year to get my first order.
Then I became a Buyer on Fiverr.
After that I started getting a lot of orders as a Seller.
My third year here was incredible!
Iâm near the end of my fifth year here and since COVID, so many new people have turned to Fiverr that the talent pool has been watered down.
I now get maybe 2 or 3 jobs a month here.
However, Fiverr is not my primary source of freelance income, either.

I see⊠sometimes it depends on the keywords that help with order but yeah being patient is really important as a seller.

Thank you for sharing your experience, itâs really great that youâre getting orders regularly. I also find the interesting part of how âbuyer requestâ work, like chances of buyers replying your offer can be really as low and competitive because the other sellers are sending offers at the same time. So I donât think Fiverr could ever be the primary income for most sellers.

Oh, and I NEVER use the BRs.
Thatâs where the âcheapâ Buyers exist and desperate Sellers go (my opinion).

I hope Fiverr has a way to let sellers communicate with buyers even outside the Buyer Request.

I joined on 22nd July, 2016 to buy something. Posted the first gig on 27-28th July. And delivered the first order on 1st August, 2016.
So less than a week.

1 week is very impressive! May I ask what service are you offering on your gigs?

From me, I got my first one after 2 weeks, I remember the struggle it was, to learn how fiverr work, setup profile, be attractive, work for cheap to have some reviews then raise prices.

It took me a little over a month. After that, I ended up getting several orders for about two weeks. Now I donât have many new buyers (mostly just returning ones), but Iâm fine with that because Iâm mostly working on another platform.

Replace âcheapâ by âpeople with no soulâ and I agree with you

And the most funny part is that he is just a random person streaming on twitch with poor amount of followers and will never get any success or be popular as if just filming himself with a camera while playing games would make him famous and he wonât find anyone literally working for free doing quality video editing

Scary.
That being said, I actually suggested to a newbie on another thread to try their luck at the BRs.
I must not have had my morning coffee yet.
