SEO and linkbuilding

[Vladislav @VladLinks]

@Holt2156Holt1 @hassaan22449135 Again, it’s because you expect to get paid before you’ve proven you can deliver any value.

When you’re starting from scratch, sometimes you need to do the work first and earn the trust.

Most Fiverr beginners overcomplicate their first Gig.

I've completed 3,000+ orders on Fiverr, and in my new video I'm showing exactly how I build a Gig from scratch — using my own SEO service as a real example.

[Vladislav @VladLinks]

@saud_ilyas Agree. But what about other services? Backlink placements, SEO, project management, taxes, accounting, and so on?

AI can make the work faster, but it can’t replace the providers at all.

[Vladislav @VladLinks]

Is Fiverr dying in 2026?

Traffic is down. Competition is up. AI changed the game.

But Fiverr isn’t dead.

Easy Fiverr is dying.

I analyzed what’s actually happening and why freelancers need to adapt

One of the biggest lessons in business is learning who you should not work with. Saying no to the wrong clients is what creates the time and energy for the right ones

[Vladislav @VladLinks]

I used to try to win every single prospect. (like this one)
A mentor taught me why that was a mistake.

Early on, I had impostor syndrome about this without knowing that is what it was. I felt responsible for finding a solution for everyone who reached out, even if it meant working at a loss just to keep the project.

Then I started working with my mentor. He taught me the idea of an ideal customer profile, and tiers within it.

→ Tier 1 clients trust the process and think long term
→ Tier 2 clients need more convincing before they commit
→ Tier 3 clients are driven entirely by price, expecting premium results on a budget that cannot support them

Last month someone wanted medical niche backlinks at fifty to eighty dollars a placement. Said other agencies were already offering exactly that.

Years ago, that message would have sent me looking for an impossible solution just to keep him as a client.

But this time I recognized something different. He was not wrong to want what he wanted. He simply was not my ideal client.

I explained why the budget would not get him what he was picturing, and what tends to actually work instead. He wanted a shortlist regardless. I did not have one that matched his expectations honestly, so I told him that.

We never worked together.

One of the biggest lessons in business is learning who you should not work with. Saying no to the wrong clients is what creates the time and energy for the right ones.

@henry_purchase Congrats, doing the same!🤪

Made on Fiverr >3k orders, received 1k+ reviews.

Ask me anything about Fiverr. 🤝

[Vladislav @VladLinks]

I’ll keep sharing my thoughts even if I get 0 likes. Not everything needs instant validation.

Just consistency and discipline matter.

[Vladislav @VladLinks]

5 years ago Freelancing was easier.

- Less competition.
- No AI.
- Easier Fiverr rankings.
- Cheaper traffic.

Maybe.

But I don’t care.

I can’t build a business in 2026 using the rules of 2020.

Markets change…

- Search changes.
- Platforms change.
- AI changes how we work.
- Clients change what they’re willing to pay for.

Your job isn’t to complain about the old opportunity disappearing.

Your job is to find the new one.

[Vladislav @VladLinks]

Fiverr isn’t dying.

Bad Fiverr positioning is.

If your Gig says:

“I will build high quality backlinks”

you’re competing with 10,000+ sellers.

But:

“I will build SaaS backlinks through real editorial placements”

is a completely different game.

Same skill.

Different positioning.

In 2026, specificity wins.

[Vladislav @VladLinks]

Most agencies don’t lose clients in month 3.

They lose them in week 2.

They just don’t know it yet.

Overpromising closes deals.
Honest expectations retain them.

I’d rather lose a client before we start than explain in 3 months why the “guaranteed results” never happened.

[Vladislav @VladLinks]

A client came to us after a drop like this.
Health and supplement niche.
Traffic across informational and commercial intent had fallen off a cliff.

Everyone blames the Google update when traffic drops.
Sometimes the update just finds what was already broken.

First read looked like a straightforward core update hit.

We dug deeper.

The previous agency had built the entire strategy on autopilot.

Content generated at scale using AI, with nobody actually reviewing it for depth or accuracy.
Links built the same way, month after month, with no reassessment of what was actually working. No monitoring at all.

AI was not the problem here. Letting it run on autopilot was.

Nobody was watching for early warning signs, so nobody caught them.
By the time the client noticed the revenue impact, months of damage had already compounded quietly in the background.

Here is what I keep coming back to.

Google updates do not destroy well-monitored sites. They expose the ones nobody was paying attention to.

The drop was not the real problem. The real problem was a strategy running on its own, with no one checking whether any of it still made sense.

If you are using AI in your SEO right now, that is NOT a mistake.
Leaving it unsupervised is!

People Don’t Believe in Fiverr Anymore. WTF)))

Updated Your Fiverr Gig? DON’T PANIC If Your Stats Drop

[Vladislav @VladLinks]

@Johntechstudio Yeah. Only hard work pays off.

[Vladislav @VladLinks]

@hassaan22449135 if you have the skills to sell yourself on Fiverr etc. , what’s stopping you from using the same skills to find clients on LinkedIn or through other channels?

[Vladislav @VladLinks]

@hassaan22449135 You’re contradicting your own point 😅 If beginners can get orders, then the opportunity clearly still exists. Nobody said it’s as easy as it used to be.

[Vladislav @VladLinks]

@hassaan22449135 You're wrong. A lot.

[Vladislav @VladLinks]

Hahaha, mate. With that mindset, you’ll never start from scratch 😄

Check out some of my videos — I talk about how to get your first reviews and build trust when you’re starting out.

People will always need people. AI is a tool in different hands it's different, but it supports the work, it doesn’t replace the human side of business.
