Can I add some more idea how to get the first order, it worked out for me:
1. Go to buyer requests and request for all the orders which are related to the gig your offering. There are 10 requests per day, utilize all 10 of them.
2. If a buyer messages you, respond them with the lowest offer possible, lower than what you provided in request.
3. Your profile should be fully correct with all 3 images, video if possible and a CV in resume section.
4 When you get your first order, keep updating them in 4-5 hour intervals. It will give a positive feeling for them that your doing the work.

Thanks, @tanvirh27, @neweraart & @bravo_saddam 🙂 I’m sure you will do wonderfully!

#I DO NOT AGREE with this:

  1. If a buyer messages you, respond them with the lowest offer possible, lower than what you provided in request.

This is not at all something that I would suggest anyone - new or old - to do! Please refrain from doing such things and ruining the marketplace. It is because of few such bidders that the old sellers get fewer jobs and new sellers fail to make a mark in the marketplace. Fiverr is doing awesome and we are doing quite well as well, but this kind of attitude will ruin us both.

Again, repeat request:

##Please DO not Sell a service worth $50 for $5

#DO NOT SELL YOUR SOUL!

It is important we understand this and move ahead in life. If price is the ONLY Factor for you in getting a job or not, then trust me, you will not be here for a long time! It is not price, but quality that matters! If you know your skill well, and you know how to sell that, you are bound to get to the top in time. But if you lower your price, just to beat the competition, you will lose in the long run as well.

💡 All the best!!

In Buyer’s Request, too low of a price makes me think the seller doesn’t know the requirements. I delete those offers without even reading or checking out their gig page.

I’ve had sellers bid $5 to proofread 10k words - several, matter of fact. ** No thank you. Delete ** 😕

@anistonantony,I beg to differ on the pricing. Although I’m new on fiverr, I know my capabilities and resources I have available to me,and these are worth a reasonable amount. I hope new sellers won’t actually take this and run away with it.

Hi, I am new on fiverr.com. I have 5 GIG. I share my GIG on social media everyday. But I still did not get orders. Have I any problem on my GIG?

I hope you have read the original article and the other tips shared by sellers here. If not, please go back and read.

In Buyer’s Request, too low of a price makes me think the seller doesn’t know the requirements.

Hello, that must have been a glitch, contact Customer Support, they´ll get that sorted out.

https://support.fiverr.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

They usually reply within 24 hours.

I have read through the support, but found no answer, I am okay hearing from you, is better than talking to web page. Perhaps I discovered fiverr did not have live chat, I would not have sign up with them. But that is a small money to throw away if the case I dont get it back. thanks for your comforting words.

Hello Augustus 🙂

I’m sorry to hear you have had problems placing orders! If you cannot place orders, how will we earn? 😛

The problem you faced really looks like a glitch in the system like @miiila said. And the only option I see is to talk to our Customer Support people. They are very helpful. If you send emails, you will be responded to quickly as well.

We are mostly the sellers, in this section of the forum and we are talking about sellers as well. There is a separate section called Tips for Buyers - maybe you can get more specific answers to your queries in there, as more buyers visit that section.

Try it out!

#Get in touch with our Support!

Keep up the good work and keep buying gigs on Fiverr! We are the best you can get 🙂

💡 All the best!
