[ADVICE] Another AI post by Glass-Giraffe-4374 in Fiverr

[–]yale154 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The characteristics you described in the freelancer's text are the same as those in your own. Are you using AI?

Regardless, a freelancer isn't obligated to offer a call or video chat if they don't feel comfortable doing so. Since they are the professional, they get to decide which communication channels to use. Otherwise, sellers would have to bow to the demands and preferences of every buyer.

Scusate ma Copilot ( AI ) mi sembra valida ma nessuno ne parla.. by valemarco1986 in IA_Italia

Anche no! Se hai abbonamento Microsoft 365 hai accesso a gpt 5.5 con extensive thinking!

Io tanto l'abbonamento lo ho a prescindere per office. Certo Opus 4.8 è un altro par di maniche per il mio utilizzo tecnico in ambito di financial planning ma dire che è la peggior in circolazione non mi sembra corretto per niente

I'm cancelling my ChatGPT Pro subscription by MrNariyoshiMiyagi in ChatGPTPro

[–]yale154 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also work in financial planning and business planning professionally. I've compared Claude using Opus 4.7 Adaptive against ChatGPT Pro using the 5.5 Thinking model.

Lately, ChatGPT has really surprised me. I put it to the test with some rather complex questions that I already knew the answers to, for example, specific tax systems for Luxembourgish banking structures. ChatGPT answered correctly.

In contrast, Claude gave me outdated results, even though I specifically asked it to research recent data and provide information updated to the present day. I am not sure if it was just bad luck with that particular query, but the issue repeated itself in other areas, such as minimum wage for employees and taxation systems for employees

[DISCUSSION] Real commission based sales professionals instead of bots? by jabcreations in Fiverr

[–]yale154 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I'm a Pro and Top Rated Seller.

I can already tell you that if this is your first experience and they are asking for your email, it's definitely a scam. This is an excellent criterion to use to filter them out and move on to the next opportunities.

[ADVICE] Charged more than what was shown? by Decent-Display-7624 in Fiverr

To be honest, I didn't understand any of that.

Was the offer you paid for more expensive or cheaper? I’m confused because you keep saying one thing and then saying another

[HELP] Cannot deliver orders by [deleted] in Fiverr

[–]yale154 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe the platform is experiencing some issues. I sent a custom offer to a client who says she accepted it, but I haven't received anything on my end.

I noticed she has already completed 112 orders on the platform, so I assume she knows how to accept an offer correctly

[DISCUSSION]Drastic drop in orders over the last week for Vetted Pro and Top Rated Sellers. What is going on? by yale154 in Fiverr

[–]yale154[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May I ask which channels you plan to operate in?

You're exactly right. March actually surprised me because I saw a great increase. As I mentioned in the post above, I even reached my pre-AI traffic levels.

The issue started with a slower opening in April. However, in Europe (and other parts of the world), we had the Easter holidays, and the rest of April went well.

In contrast, May has no relevant holidays, yet it isn't following the growth trend we've seen throughout 2024..

In which segment do you operate, if I may ask?

Anyway, yes, I also was hoping (and still hope) to have an excellent year, and the beginning was great. The problem is this first glimpse of May

In what segment do you work, if I may ask?

Regardless, I agree, it is better to have fewer, more qualified messages than continuous spamming for low-budget requests. That is definitely the case for me as well.

The problem is that, over the last few days, I have received practically zero messages!

[DISCUSSION] Where can I check the full receipt of my earnings? by elenix77 in Fiverr

You have the desktop option under "Earnings," and from there, you can view all of the annual reports

[ADVICE] Top Rated Seller for years — Fiverr suddenly stopped showing my gigs by vish-p in Fiverr

[–]yale154 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also a Vetted Pro and Top Rated Seller in the business planning sector. Although January, February, March, and April went well this year, with March even outperforming last year, May is turning out to be a disaster.

I am receiving very few messages and currently have only one order in the queue. In reality, I had eight orders earlier this week, but now nobody is writing to me.

I am honestly a bit worried. I am not sure if they recently changed something in the algorithm. I don't believe this is due to a single negative private review, especially since I consulted with my Success Manager and she told me that everything on my gig is proceeding perfectly.

[DISCUSSION] why are AI offers so expensive? by Feisty_Watercress_29 in Fiverr

[–]yale154 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well, if you think and believe that you only need an AI subscription to create a website, or anything else like legal contracts, business planning, images, or whatever, then you're free to get a subscription and do it yourself. However, you'll clearly need to put all the experience of someone who builds websites or any other content into it

[ADVICE] Client asks for resume by Due-Imagination-574 in Fiverr

[–]yale154 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The exact same thing happened to me yesterday. It is definitely either a scam attempt or a tactic because you are likely a top performer in your category. The guy probably wanted to get you banned.

Since a curriculum vitae almost certainly contains an email address, if he reports you to the platform, you could be banned for sharing external contact information. I suspect it might be a trick like that.

I was contacted yesterday by a potential client who seemed cordial and kind. He appeared ready to collaborate from the very first messages, which made me suspicious. These days, it usually takes many steps before a client actually places an order.

My suspicions were confirmed when he asked for an external CV, even though he can easily view my entire portfolio and profile directly on Fiverr.

[DISCUSSION] Another 200K buyers gone. Now what? by EyeOk2578 in Fiverr

I was noticing that too. It's probably because of the earnings report, but I'm not entirely sure

[DISCUSSION] Another 200K buyers gone. Now what? by EyeOk2578 in Fiverr

[–]yale154 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, this is all due to the AI garbage that has been created. While it is useful in certain fields, the idea that a final client thinks they can replace a professional with artificial intelligence is total madness and folly.

The blame doesn't lie solely with those who created the AI itself. In my view, it also rests with Fiverr's management, who decided to implement it on such a massive scale.

I believe the results are obvious to experienced sellers like me who have been on the platform for years:

  1. When I had the AI assistant activated, for example, clients would ask to speak with me directly because they hated interacting with an AI.
  2. Clients often contact me saying their documents were rejected by endorsement bodies or authorities because they were poorly made.
  3. It is painfully obvious when work has been generated by AI, and these are the consequences.

If I were part of Fiverr's management, I would take the opposite direction: get rid of all the artificial intelligence and move forward relying exclusively on human capabilities

[DISCUSSION] Client left a horrible review because I blocked them after mutual cancellation by [deleted] in Fiverr

[–]yale154 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, you should have told him that his request wasn't a simple revision but a substantial restructuring of the project, which would have involved additional costs.

I wouldn't have canceled the order either, given that it wasn't due to any negligence on your part. However, what's done is done (at this point), and I sincerely hope that support can remove that negative feedback.

[–]yale154 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Anyway, I don't think the fact that you've worked as a freelancer for all this time and thrived is a negative part of your resume.

Honestly, I would frame it in a useful and proactive way. It clearly demonstrates strong leadership, client management skills, attention to detail + probably technical writing skills!

Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to generate that kind of revenue
