Hmmm Hi guys,
I have zero sales since fiverr v2 was introduced. before I got some sales but now-days no sales even I have started providing better service and quicker response, but to no avail well that's very discouraging cause I had much planned and this is totally ruined. I thought that from the money I make from fiverr to start a website. keyword research, on page, off page seo all was planned but now everything is going down. Well I am more than willing to continue my struggle, but guys please CRITICIZE my gigs if you think something is wrong and please any good tips. I will be really thankful

        You need to find other means of promoting your gig instead of waiting for Fiverr traffic.

        It simply does not work anymore.

    The new fiver interface makes it harder to search gigs. I think the lower volume sellers will have a harder time.

    I hate the new fiverr look. That green color makes me wanna Bounce fast.

    That could be an issue you're having. Their new design is costing you money.

    If you can do good design work.. I recommend driving some traffic either to those gigs or to another page where you can charge more for your services. Once you have enough cash saved up you can then get your own domain and go from there.

    Also, start checking out other freelancer sites like odesk, guru, and getafreelancer. You can bid on gigs there and start bringing in some extra cash like you were with fiverr.

    I think the rating may be the problem.. I had issues with software I was using on previous gigs of mine that I no longer use as the software didn't work as it was supposed to and it resulted in 7 cancellations in a row.. which plummeted my score to 93% after which my sales started drying up so I had to ditch my gigs. I am re-thinking my whole approach but I think if you can get some buyers who will give good feedback to try and up your score it might help.
    I see you do copywriting - Have you an example?
    I am not sure if my own Fiverr gig description gives enough of the right detail about how it helps people - maybe I could buy your copywriting gig if you could do my gig description well for me and give you good feedback.
    Now, there's a niche specific idea for another gig for you that you could market to other Fiverr providers!

    I'm having the same problems, I had was selling some basic services there and made 100$, but since the new design I got 0 requests!
    The best thing we can do is to stay active in Fiverr website.

    Hi Praveen,

    Your Profile:
    Change your photograph ( a better close up, smiling with confidence will do )
    Improve your positive rating.
    You can drop the "copy writing stuff ' in your profile and position yourself as an expert designer.

    Lastly, Don't worry about things you don't have control on, like the fiverr new design
    People will soon feel comfortable and will get back, many come to Fiverr for quality service for an affordable price. Don't miss that !

    My 2 cents ...

    Without sell how someone can improve rating?

    The main problem i see in your gigs are:
    - Title is not very catchy
    - Even the graphics (which is your gig) is not appealing enough
    - If you add videos, you will get better response

    For me after V2, sales have increased. I am making around $2k per month with fiverr

    hi,
    my sales also had gone down from 10 every day to just 2-3 sales, then promoted my gig using other fiverr gigs, getting 10 consistently now, just try to promote the gig utilizing other fiverr gigs, one guy is really good in this on fiverr, he adds high quality backlinks to the gig,

    The reality is your gigs is flooded by other gigs, you have do some promoting to your gigs instead of just sit there and wait for orders to come

    It's a common problem and no, it has nothing to do with a catchy title, video and so on. If you give a look at fiverr's forum, you will realize that even top rated sellers can't get more than one order, while they had 50 or more before. Some gigs are not even appearing at the search results.
    I am in the same boat, 3-4 orders every day, and 20 days now, only 2 orders total and those from previous buyers.

      A lot of new sellers actually seem to have a lot more exposure.

      At least those have been my observations.

      With that said, I really can't find it in me to say I approve of the new format having used it, but I'm sure it will grow on me.

      The previous compact and "cutesy" was perfect for the $5 theme.

    I don't just depend on fiverr's search. Since the search makes me gone about a year ago. I use SEO and social and blog reviews to bring traffic.

    I think the creators of fiverr got a little greedy.

    They have alienated a lot of users with the new website.

    It might come back over time -- just the same way everyone complains when Facebook releases a new update. It may not. But this is exactly why relying on just one 3rd party source is a very dangerous way to run a business.

    Fiverr has forgotten their roots and are taking themselves too seriously, their error with their "new image" is in thinking that other people do too. It's a site you go to when you need cheap foreign grunt work, fake social media fans, or clever/goofy promotions. Nothing more. Stick to the model that's worked for all these years - $5.

    Change your profile picture. And when you do, be sure to:

    Shave. Clean looking is actually a better image for a designer/copwriter. Go back to the dirty look when you're rich and famous and proven, not when you're still seeking to please your first few clients.

    Smile. Lose the fighting "tiger look". At first glance I thought your profile was an advertisement for a hitman.

    Maybe also check out what "copywriting" actually means, and rethink your service offering as a copywriter. Looking at how you're written the text for your gigs, I have a feeling that what you understand "copywriting" to be is something along the lines of "copying somebody else's writing", or something to that effect.

    They could just make the old design a little "fresher". But they messed it up. Don't fix something that isn't broken -.-

    I also don't like the new look and feel, even when searching for gigs- some non relevant gigs pop up first, it seems rating is very important, so you might think on increasing that or create a new profile and start over, get into fiverr exchange groups, add video, add 24hour delivery.all of this will give you more exposure and sales.

    I'm having the same problem, I think that it is because of the new design. It is almost impossible to see all gigs, I can't even find mine most of the time!

      I don't like the new V2 platform and have told Fiverr admin that, but they don't take constructive criticism to well.

      I still get regular sales, but they've fallen by about 60% since the new look and they seem to promote random gigs instead of one's which have built up a good reputation.

      There algorithm is also away to pot, as I'm a top rated seller, have a healthy feedback score and have been a member for over two years and yet newer folk with less feedback and level 2 status are ahead of me in the ratings table?

      I'll still use Fiverr both as a buyer and seller, but my time and attention is not what it was in the past for this website.

    Hi,
    Did you know that there is a place called Fourerr.com. The only difference between Fiverr and Fourerr is the gig price. One is $5 and one is $4.
    Go check it out!!
    Good luck

    I purchased a very good WSO from Danial, which should work well on Fiverr but, Fiverr's V2 sucks. Fiverr want sellers to use their outside social media, blogs and websites to push traffic to your Fiverr gig, in order to make sales.
    I thought the point was for Fiverr to advertise and supply the buyer traffic, and the sellers to provide the talent / service to the buyers.

    Of course Fiverr is banning people right and left for violating their TOS, when an outside buyer contacts you off of Fiverr's system. How are you going to use your own outside marketing and drive traffic to Fiverr, and not have people contacting you off Fiverr, all someone has to do is Facebook message you, and you have broken Fiverr's rules, and will get banned.

    Even though the WSO's are good here, Fiverr is now at this point, compare the old Fiverr to the new Fiverr and you will see many flaws that will stop you from making any income.

    Your thoughts on this???
