Hit 50 five-star reviews on Fiverr last week and the weird part is my rates barely changed
So I do voiceover work and I finally crossed 50 reviews on Fiverr last Tuesday. Took me about 14 months to get there. But here's the thing that got me: I ran the numbers and my average order value only went up like 12 bucks compared to when I had 10 reviews. I always assumed the review count was the magic switch that lets you charge more. On Upwork my JSS is 100 percent and I've landed bigger jobs there with way less proof behind me. Maybe Fiverr buyers just scroll past the number? Curious if anyone else saw a plateau around a certain review count where the algorithm stopped rewarding you.
