Fiverr’s Request a Gig® tool is already extraordinarily popular, allowing buyers to get help for projects when they can’t find a specific Gig that fits. But we weren’t satisfied. We had to make it even better. Here’s a look at the new features that benefit buyers. (If you haven’t used Request a Gig, check out the original post explaining how it works.)
Pause, Activate, and Boost
You can now Pause a request (in case, for example, you’re getting multiple offers and you’d like to review them without getting additional offers).
Activate lets you return the request back to an active status.
Boost lets you push a request to the top of the request list by updating the date of request to the current date. This can help your request get more visibility if you haven’t received any offers or not satisfied with the offers you’ve received. But please note, each Gig request can be boosted only once.
The first time you click on the Action down arrow to the right of a request, you’ll see a pop-up message walking you through the new features.
The Request a Gig display has been redesigned with tabs for each status: Active, Paused, Pending, and Unapproved. Click on a tab to see all your requests that have that status.
The number of characters allowed for describing the requested Gig has been increased from 120 to 240.
If you have never requested a Gig, you will see the following screen when you click on the Request a Gig option. Simply click on the Request a Gig button to describe and submit your request.
The display now shows the buyer’s username.
We also fixed the search option that wasn’t working well, so let us know if you’re stilling seeing any issues.
Request a Gig is one of the most powerful tools on Fiverr, enabling buyers to get more of what they need, while providing sellers with an opportunity to boost earnings. If you haven’t already done so, be sure to check it out.
