Good start but all of sudden no work...
Greetings Bunny pros,
I recently started with the Bunny in September. I did not fare well in the contests but did okay in the speedies. It looks like my stats are in the middle of the pack, so to speak. After five more weeks of waiting, in other words, no work of any kind in October, I am wondering how I can increase my stats without any work? I have been receiving emails each week telling me about jobs that I have missed out on but have not received a single invitation to a speedy since September. I am receiving a few profile views each week but no bookings as of yet.
So, the main question that I have is, "How does one increase their stats without work?" This is a silly question I will admit. Please help me out. Do I just need to be patient? Should I restart somehow and be much more selective during the introductory phase?
I was just getting into a good groove and begging to find my voice then the work ceased. I am willing to be patient if that's what it takes. Any response here would be helpful.
Thank you,
Robert Barkley

Hello Robert,
Thank you for letting us know about this.
I'd like to address different points here that might be helpful:
1. I noticed that out of 5 speedies, 3 were approved by our clients; however, the other 2 that were rejected came with the reason "Voiceover not needed". In case you were not aware, when you disagree with a rejection from one of our clients, you can share the case with us by sending an email to support@bunnyinc.com, where we'll let you know once it has been assessed by our QC team -We've started the evaluation process for these 2 cases, so no need to contact us about it. As soon as we've reached a conclusion, I'll let you know-
2. With regards to Contests, you have indeed 2 other rejections but this time from our QC team. In case you don't agree with the reasons behind any rejection by QC, you must share the case here in the Community, where they'll be able to provide further feedback on your work. Contacting us at support won't include QC in the thread, and we might also lose track of the conversation given the nature of the topic being discussed.
Bear in mind that out of the 5 auditions you sent, none of them were chosen as the winner which did make your ranking drop compared to our average Pros. This doesn't mean you won't get any invitations ever again, but it does mean you may see fewer invitations from now on compared to the number you've been receiving until now.
Make sure you only submit contest entries for projects that you are well-suited for because not being the winner of an audition, therefore not being able to successfully complete the project, will affect your Contests' stats.
3. Please note that the vast majority of our projects are Bookings, so it shouldn't be strange that speedy and contest invitations you receive fluctuate a lot; however, your demographic (Middle age Male / English-Us) is quite common, which means that the competition is tough. The more and better samples you have, the better chance of matching our clients' search parameters. It's important to upload samples to different categories/purposes that show your versatility and how good you are! Our successful Pros have around 50, so we have some room to fill.
4. About your rates in general, keep in mind that price is only one of the many other factors used in determining the best matches for a project. You will automatically earn higher rewards as your stats improve so you can raise your rates once you have made some good stats.
Share your profile page! Jobs completed by clients booking you through your profile will affect your stats positively.
I truly hope all this information helps.
Best,
Oscar,
Thank you for the response. I am also grateful for the investigation into the two rejected speedies. I was unaware of the possibility to have these re-evaluated. This is very helpful information.
I am also beginning to realize that I really need to work on providing more samples for prospective clientele.
Once again, thank you for your guidance in this area.
Robert Barkley
You are welcome, Robert.
We are here to help!
Regards,
Oscar
