lilacpunch Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I’m relatively new to fiverr. I joined February 2nd of this year.For my first order, It came in March, however the buyer never filled out requirements. Not even to this day. 😝The first time I had an order that was completed was the beginning of June, so it took about 4 months for me.So then my fiverr journey began and ever since then, I’ve been getting orders in. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonbaas Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I joined Fiverr over three years ago. I’ve completed a few thousand orders since then, but, if I remember correctly, my first order came rather quickly – probably within the first week.Everyone’s Fiverr experience is different. Try not to compare your success to the individual successes of everyone else. Doing so is not going to help YOU be a better seller. Focus on what you do best, and build YOUR unique success as you grow and improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_d Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Joined March the 21st 2013, first order came same day, I was really lucky because trust me when I say: I had no idea what I was doing back then! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woofy31 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I joined on March 2010 when Fiverr was looking like a children’s playground :crazy_face: It was still in BETA stages, and I was lucky to get my first order within a few days, especially since there were a few doing what I do and the demand was out there ready to be dealt with.After over 7 years, I can already see myself in the far feature as a grumpy old man trying to find the delivery button through his eyeglasses 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digipixtrooper Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I joined Fiverr on June 2017. Then I received my first order on July. I can’t remember when exactly on July. All I know is that it took me more than a month to receive that order. 😅 Yes, I was very sad when it took a long time for me to get a sale.But I keep moving forward by submitting custom offers in the Buyers Request. I think another reason why it took a long time for me to get a sale is because I didn’t apply everything that I learned in the Fiverr Academy. :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came here in December 2012 and remember it was just a list of gigs. And I could get the guy in customer service, Mark, to temporarily set my gigs in a better position just by asking him to sometimes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came to know about the Forum and buyer requests in July.Got my 1st order on July 5, 2016 (2 months after creating the account and being active on Fiverr).

kayanwriting Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I began putting real effort into Fiverr about three weeks ago, and I’ve been able to rise to a Level One seller. I’ll keep pressing on towards a higher level; but, I’m happy with where I’m at right now! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitems Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I just started my journey on Fiverr. Created already four gigs with no sale. I believe never to give up, I’ll continue my efforts. Hopefully, I’ll get some orders soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly 😁 When the orders got low, I simply asked CS what’s wrong and they were all like “All seems fine, but I’ve moved your gig to the top so we can see if it puts you back on track” 😃 And BAM, orders started coming in!

balubfa12 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I Joined on 9th August, 2011. I got my first order on 12th August. Those were the golden and most memorable days in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damooch916 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Wow you got in when it was new! I came here in December 2012 and remember it was just a list of gigs. And I could get the guy in customer service, Mark, to temporarily set my gigs in a better position just by asking him to sometimes!I remember this so vividly in 2013. I would joke back and forth with CS. I also remember the conventional idea being that more than two gigs had a negative effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryangillam Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I received an order my first day. Then within a couple of days of delivering that, 5-6 orders per day. Went up from there. Then went down. Then went up. Then back down again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaunacardwell Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Around the start of 2015 and got first order about 6 month after, although i signed up not expecting much and didnt work on it all that much but then started treating it more like a business!

It helped me several times when I had no more sales, and as soon as the sales started coming I was back on track. So even that short boost made wonders!

vapeskorea Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I joined in 2015, but only as a buyer.I started selling in June 2017. I had my first order 3 days later. The ‘buyer’s request’ section is your friend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So even that short boost made wonders!They saw sellers as people they wanted to help rather than the enemy who tries to hack the search algorithm and trick the system. When we made changes to our gigs it would give them a small boost in the rankings instead of making them disappear.It has a different feel now, as if sellers are viewed with a different kind of lens.Changes to our gigs are automatically viewed with such suspicion that each time it happens the gig has to be manually checked, for what I’m not sure.

I know some poeple get orders immediately while it takes awhile for others, which i’d consider it did for me but I’m proud of where I’m at now.Fiverr is encouraging me to grow and get out of my comfort zone.
