ssj1236 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 So, I have pretty good off-site and on-site client base that keeps me busy at all times - except this month.I messaged like 40 clients on Fiverr and around 15 FB clients, I got a reply back from the majority of them that they’re on Holiday and won’t be coming back till after Christmas. This naturally means January is gonna be a very busy month for me but damn is December slow. It’s only 5 days in and I can tell that this month is going to be unbearably slow.So, how are things going for everyone? Who’s going on vacation or are you gonna be working? As for me, I think I’ll start mining for bitcoin again, I sold out my share during the early days to buy a PC (boy do I regret that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s good to hear at least one of us is having a good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope people will be buying spells to give themselves a nice present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does make extra work for me when it’s not for the buyer. Most buyers don’t tell the person they got it for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

writer99025 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 To be fair, I am busy in Dec because most of my orders were made in November - have a 29-day delivery. So I will probably be free in January. But got more than $400 worth orders in first 4 days of Dec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loudandskittish Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Last year, December was my busiest month up to that point. This year, it has been “slow,” but still better than the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

englishcarabao1 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Things seem to be proceeding as usual. I recently updated my gig and got 3 inquiries by the morning! It’s the algorithm at work, I’m guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mauro_523 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Let me talk to you guys about what’s been my experience here on fiverr and how December is going so far.I’m relatively new here, I’be been here on fiverr for 42 days and things have been flowing well since day one, getting all my sales from buyer’s requests and people that have already worked with me so we grew a working relationship, very few people ever contacted me straight from my gig. I started here on fiverr mainly because I have a bit too much free time in the office (I’m a dubbing agency’s translator), most of the time I’m either reviewing stuff to be recorded, making sure everything language related is ok, or just waiting they give me an assignment to be translated. December started with the right foot in the office, they got a bunch of dvds with chapters to translate and dub into Spanish and guess who has to do the translation of every. single. chapter. Yep, you guessed right, ME! 👓 So, since I’m bussy at the office and I just don’t stop translating trough all day. I get home really tired and I decided to just give myself a little fiverr’s time-out. And so I did, or try to do, but I’m a helpless workaholic and I just love what I do. So, what I did is that I stopped sending buyer’s requests offers, I stopped contacting my regulars, I just stopped everything but promised myself that I wouldn’t let down any opportunity that knocked my door.And guess what? the unthinkable happened! (not that I’m complaining nor upset about it lol) customers started contacting me straight from my gig. I’ve been selling to people that I haven’t send a buyer’s request offer 😱 and I’m really happy about it.PS: Sorry for the long reply.
