Fiverr Solution Community

👩‍💼👩‍💼Hello all, specially newbies!👩‍💼👩‍💼

Hope you all are doing good.

Well, as being a member of fiverr from last more than 2 years, I faced alot of things and got alot of experience and being a member of this platform fiverr forum I see many open topics specially from newbies asking only thing How to get order?

As being a responsible member or to maintain my trust on others on this forum I replied on many topics, help others in many ways which are possible from my side. But reading alot of questions on same topic, I conclude that there are few tips that I have to share separately instead of giving reply on all the post or the things that you should follow before posting a topic related to how to get order as I see in almost all the topics, people are asking how to get but haven’t implement any of the thing from the following which are so important specially for newbie and much common for the one who is aware with all that.

Please go through the following tips as these are the most important for those who are asking how to get first order or since (this month) haven’t receive any order etc etc.

1- First, and the most childish act which many of you are doing and asking for reviewing your profile,
Description on your profile means, a brief description of what you are and why you are here and what you will do or give to your client.
It doesn’t mean you start writing I am new here and want some work and I will do in free of cost etc etc as I see many newbies are doing this childish acts which is totally wrong and give a bad impact on buyers. So, use this description option to show yourself, not for begging purpose.

2- At No Level fiverr allow to make 5 gigs, so create all 5 gigs even if you have same category.

3- Place a cover photo “eye catching” which can grab the people’s attention easily. Gig covers are the best thing to grab some one’s attention so never try to copy covers from others, always try to come up with something unique.

4- Don’t copy the material from other gigs (specially pictures in graphics designing gigs).
May be this is common for you but buyers notice this alot if you are copying data while creating a gig then how less percent chances there will be that you will deliver something unique.So, try to come up with unique ideas .

5- Just mention the things in your gigs which you can do easily (be HONEST, don’t mention more than your expertise).

6- Use common search tags while creating a gigs. Don’t use unique keywords, because search tags are the most important thing as buyers use the search tags while searching for gigs.

7- As a beginner, start your gig packages with a less amount as this time you have to gain the buyer’s trust. So try to provide your service in a discounted price.

Less amount never means you start offering all the services in 5$, you have to check the market value by visiting multiple gigs, just try to offer little less amount than others.

8- Refresh your gigs on daily basis.

9- Check Buyers Requests frequently.

10- Also, you can share your gig link on social sites like linkedin, pages etc. It can also help you.

All the above points are the most common and important that you should follow before asking for how to get order. These are things I noticed, from the very start nothing is implemented in the profile and in gigs but sellers are pretending like they did alot of efforts but not receiving any order.

After all of this, one thing which is the most important and that is Time. Keep this thing in your mind freelancing is not that easy as you think. You have to give alot of time, you have to gain alot of trust and also you have to wait alot too.

In no any business, no one start getting profit after a month or two. Struggle is the most important thing, indeed. And it is your business, so you have to be motivated, always!

I’m sure, after following all the above points you will receive your order soon. And, after receiving your order, try to give your best to your client, try to do some chit chat with your client to gain his trust, ask everything in detail and deliver your best as much as possible. Because, first review on your profile will be the first impression of your profile.

In the end, I wish you all a very best of luck and yes, Thanks alot for reading this post.

Always be motivated, Never lose Hopes!

✈️✈️✈️Tips on Buyer Requests as a new seller👩‍💼👩‍💼👩‍💼

While I understand the idea behind buyer requests (“I need something done and there are no gigs specifically for it”), I still feel they undermine the entire idea behind Fiverr. If I wanted to be bidding on projects, there are a lot of freelance platforms with better conditions, lower fees, etc.

The idea behind Fiverr, and its differentiating factor, is to be a storefront, where you can show your services and get contacted directly by potential clients. Buyer requests go against that completely. It’s not coherent with the design philosophy of the platform itself.

And it’s even worse - they seem to generate a lot of problems. Sellers posting there offering services, bottom of the barrel prices, the worst sellers lining up to reply with copy paste jobs to every single request… It paints a very unprofessional picture of the platform for any new buyer that doesn’t know any better.

Finally, and worst of all, it doesn’t even make sense for the majority of services. If you want to order a pizza, you don’t go on an app and post a request for a pizza. You go on an app, you check the different pizza places offering their services, and order from one of them.

Adding a picture to your Fiverr profile is very important, as it shows your buyers that you are a legit seller. Many people won’t purchase a gig or product from someone without a profile picture. It makes people suspicious. Make sure you choose nice picture, with an honest and open expression.

Get your first sale
Before you can earn more sales or orders from Fiverr buyers, do your best to get the highest rating for your gig. This can be accomplished by making sure your first sale earns you a 100 percent positive feedback. Buyers will not hesitate to order a gig from you if you’ve already received positive feedback. You can also get your friends and/or family to help out, to get your first gig sale, and ensure positive feedback. That’ll help you get started.

Know your skills
Be well informed about your skill, and it will make it easier for you to pick a category appropriate for your services. For example, if you are good at creating motion graphics using Adobe After Effects, then you can create a gig offering a good intro video presentation to your clients. If you are good in SEO and you have the ability to rank any keyword in the Google search engine, then offer your gig services in the SEO category. If you are good at writing web content or articles, then offer something more affordable, like providing two articles with 500 word counts for $5. You will begin to discover your potential to serve more clients in Fiverr.

Add a detailed description of your gig
Adding a long description of your gig is better than a short or concise description, because you are actually showing your willingness and dedication to providing a gig or services. Make it long and informative, and even include FAQ’s.

Add video
You can add video to your specific gig page to explain how your service works.

Improve the keywords on your gig
To make your gig stand out and to get more exposure to your gig service, you should improve your keywords. To do this, copy the keywords of the same gig service you offer, from a top seller. Put your keywords in the description and avoid over-stuffing.
