I was earning $1000+ a month and then

Recommended Posts

Hi all! Hope you are having a great time.

I joined Fiverr in July last year and started earning handsome money from the very beginning. It was November when my gig hit the top of the “Average customer review” page and my impressions on the gig and orders went through the roof. For next straight four months, I earned $1000+ every month and was having the best time ever.

THEN! Then I had to take a leave for a week for my eye surgery in March. I put my profile on vacation mode and went for 7 days bed rest. I logged back in on 8th day, turned off vacation mode and my gig appeared on the fifth line instead of first line where I left it. Within 24 hours I saw it sliding down to second page. I tried changing the description, tags, etc. but nothing worked. My gig now sits on 5th page with zero orders and I’ve done everything I could to make it boom again but all in vain. I have made new gigs, tried relevant different categories, promoted on social media but to no gain.

It has now come down to this: From making $1000 a month, I haven’t made $500 in three months combined after the vacation mode. Is there anything, ANYTHING, I could do to rise again? My gig has 5 star rating, 230+ reviews, zero cancellations, 100% delivery on time, 1 hour response time… I have no idea what can I do to make it work again…

Any suggestions will do. Thank you.

Yes, heard about the algorithm change. I’ve been closely tracking all the gigs in my category, they all shuffled up and then came back to normal where every gig originally was. Mine never did so. I’m too looking for answers.

first thing is that when you put vacation mode your gig ranking will goes down as same thing was happened to me, and i asked customer service they told me the same, and other thing when you update your gig then there are also possibilities to lose the rankings…the best method i used in my time just offer lowest price services to old buyers, like i’m offering 2-4 css fixes for $5 but at that time i was offering 10 fixes to old buyers and after getting 4-5 orders my gig ranks again…

Hope it helps you!! 🙂

I’ve had set the prices to lowest but it hadn’t helped. Set the prices a little higher a few hours ago. Will see how that goes.

You didn’t get orders due to less activity on Fiverr. Share your Gig on Social Media and also use buyer request to get orders because as you already said you have 5-star rating with 230+ orders then you should use buyer request and you will get orders from buyer request due to good start rating and your Gig will rank again.

Sounds like a plan. Thank you for your input.

never, put yourself in vacation mode, it affects the exposure on the platform, it’s better that you change the delivery times to each gig than activating vacation mode

I have learned the lesson the hard way. I don’t see why vacation mode exists when it does more harm than good.

A Gig often changes ranking, maybe low or high. Fiverr tries to give exposure to multiple gigs so that all sellers get encouraged & fiverr net income arises. Fiverr wants to make all Buyers & Sellers happy, NOT specific. And now the “PRO” had even effected the rankings too (When the PRO option is ON). Anyway you can get back to your position by Sending Quotes & by creating a few unique Gigs. Keep in mind that “The MORE your create Gigs, The MORE exposure you get” .
And yes BE Patient as “Patience is bitter but it’s fruit is sweet”.

The OP is talking about a real problem that exists and affects a lot of sellers so stop quoting “road for glory” stories.

We have described serious issues & there solutions above. At the end we have given and encouraging quote that is fact & the key to success. However the 2nd last line isn’t a quote if you know the difference. And yeah, you don’t have the right to stop anyone from making his / her topic encouraging through quotes so please STOP this!

#PEACE

Hi… I am not new to Fiverr. I have received zero orders from the beginning and probably 2 - 3 views on my gigs. My point is I am probably no expert on this site, however, somebody replied with an interesting solution. Contact your previous clients. Offer them solutions, ask if they have something you could help them with. IRL selling is a matter of seeking your clients. Those who worked with you previously and were satisfied will most likely work with you again. Try getting back in touch. I wish you the best.

Hi,
It’s because of fiverr’s latest algorithm and it has affected me too. Well, what you can do is make use of buyers request and also try contacting your previous satisfied clients. This might help in getting orders and will increase you ranking.

It looks to me like Fiverr are trying different things -

  • They need new sellers to come online all the time, so they get their time at the top of the searches to persuade them to stay.

  • They need top sellers to stay, so they create Pro and give them their time to shine.

  • They can see people move through the rankings and grow, so they have to encourage those people to keep building.

I think Fiverr is suffering with an image problem at the moment. They are trying to be all of these things to all of these people - all at once. This is a recipe for disaster. Trying to please everyone ends up pleasing nobody in particular. The sales on Fiverr are dropping for just about everyone, by the comments on the forum. Poor quality work delivered by some new sellers is making its reputation across the internet and putting people off. Fiverr is seen as the cheap end of the market.

Something has to change.

I’m facing exactly same problem. I have 200+ reviews but not getting expecting orders. I have heard that Fiverr changed their algorithm but don’t don’t get any official word from Fiverr. Hope Fiverr will fix the problem as soon as possible.

Be patience, hope everything will be perfect 🙂

Well am new here but not new to freelance job, there are ups and down’s even without fiverr algorithm. its just the way things must go, from the day you started making huge amount of money also have it in mind that a time shall come when you will also make less and even most time NONE…ALL you have to do is, be patient and move on. most times the time for complaining might just be the time for solution…so it maybe strange that this word is coming from new seller but that’s the truth. let keep calm and do all we can and wait for the best to come, know this we all have our clients to attend to, one seller can not serve every buyer here, so yours is YOURS ☺️
