Fiverr Removed my Gig

So I had this gig of Amazon reviews swap on fiverr. And got my gig removed. They said, they are not going to allow such gigs anymore. And they are slowly going to remove such gigs over a period of time. I made around 13K USD with that gig and those gigs and now that gig is gone. I don't know what to do because it was keeping my lights on. And that very source of earning is gone. :( Have to learn something new from here onwards.

If they remove this kind of gig, someone will start another site that accepts such gig. Just have to wait for it to happen.

@skysnap Yes, that is true. I have just started on Fiverr, and have not earned a single cent yet. I think it will be tough to earn the first dollar.

yes many other sites already started but it's hard to get work consistently for new gig without much traffic.

Amazon does not allow 'review swapping'. You should know that. Fiverr is a responsible company and won't tolerate illegal gigs. Find something legitimate to do.

There was nothing illegal about it. If it were to be illegal, amazon would be sending me legal suit but it didn't.

@owlwings my work is not to review on amazon. my work is to find people who do and send it to author. I worked as a VA on Fiverr and not as a reviewer. So there was nothing illegal about it. As I am not from US so I had no reviews on amazon to begin with.

Not amazon reviews but for being a VA to find those who do amazon reviews.

I'm pretty sure you already know other sites like seoclerks and i guess those are not options anymore. But since you do VA tasks,by now you've earned a lot of experience and maybe you can use that to do other VA tasks in other freelancing sites. I'm looking for stuff too so if you wanna talk more you can P.M me.

Yes, that is the plan now. I am going to spend some time with VA for other tasks. But it takes time for consistent work.

Yeah I know. I am just taking my time to learn some new skill. It seems have to add to my new VA work.
