Well... Fiverr finally suspended my account. πŸ˜‚
Honestly, I think we both moved on a while ago.
In the meantime, I brought some clients over to Contra, earned the referral bonuses, and now I get to focus on a platform that doesn't take 20% of every project.
Sometimes getting kicked out is just the universe helping you commit.

Their new AI-based review system is honestly terrible. πŸ˜…
I had a 5-year profile with a perfect 10 score, and within six months it dropped to 6. They took away my Pro status, and after that I basically stopped getting clients.
At the time, I was pretty crushed, lol. But honestly, it doesn’t bother me anymore.

Same happened to me, honestly I have had a lot of clients, but the restrictions made me crazy:
- Insane commision rate at 20%
- Impossible to take clients outside of the platform
- Difficult to negotiate refunds with clients
- If you didn't repond in 24hrs your profile rate would...

I see a lot of people moving from Fiverr to Contra, and honestly, I can't blame them! Wishing everyone the best of luck and an even bigger flow of clients, despite the restrictions πŸ™Œ

That was one of the biggest reasons I chose Contra. Agency life has kept me busy, so most of my focus has gone into client work and creative challenges. But it's time to change that. I'm finally setting up my portfolio and taking creative freedom seriously.
I still wonder how...

My Fiverr account also got banned a while back before I heard about Contra and decided it was time to move on πŸš€
