His portfolio video was perfect, his gig description was flawless, and his $10 standard package was pretty reasonable, specially since it features a 2-day delivery (other sellers take 5 days or longer).

These tips have been repeated over and over on the forum yet there are still many new sellers who have a completely useless profile and description. It pains me when I go to check out the gigs of a new seller who is moaning about not getting orders and I see a profile and gigs that would have taken 5 minutes to set up. I refuse to comment on those threads where I would spend more time on the comment than the seller has done on his gig. Where I see some effort or evidence of time spent I am happy to give a few pointers if necessary but not if the total effort of the seller is just above zero.

As fastcopywriter has described here, price is what made him buy from a new seller and the gig description and video are what made him choose a particular new seller. I am the same when choosing a new seller, and I am sure most buyers are the same. So put in some effort, if you spent less than 2 hours writing your gig, creating a video, searching for images etc then you have not done enough. If you have copied someone else then change it. If you have taken the first images you found on google and claim them as your own, wake up - people are not all that stupid.

If you want to earn money then you have to spend time.

Exactly 👌

I have a big portfolio in my bag for the designing jobs I did in and outside fiverr and I sell cheap that does not men I am not qualified to do the job.

If you have done work outside of Fiverr then invite some of your old clients to Fiverr. Get some reviews and you’ll have the credibility on this platform as well.

Well said,
I have worked with so many buyers so far in fiverr. I think the buyers don’t look for experienced seller but do look for qualified workers who can provide quality work.

That’s great you have him a chance! I often think that you have a pretty good chance with new buyers if they meet some criteria:

  1. Their descriptions are clear and concise
  2. The gig feels and looks professional
  3. The price isn’t too high, but offers quality service.

Plus, helping new sellers out is a great, great thing!

I am a new seller and I have two gigs that made top seller 4 times already. I recommend the following to others, that has helped me to achieve this:

  1. Look at competition and always update your gigs accordingly
  2. Write good descriptions and utilize bold, highlight and bulletin tools to help your description to look more eye catching
  3. Share your gigs on social media platforms.
  4. Try to preview your gigs so that you can see what others see. You may even find mistakes that way.
  5. Use videos. This will increase activity to your gigs by 40%
  6. Watch your stats. Your conversion is important. If it is going down then you need to fix something.

I hope that helped others. I am waiting a few more weeks to reach level 1 seller. So I think my gigs are doing pretty well so far.

Interesting!

More buyers like you would be golden.

Sellers who’ll do good jobs are really hidden in a pool of no sales or no reviews.

A way of subverting this no sale, no review syndrome is sellers marketing themselves off Fiverr on social media and blogs. It’s surprising there are many people out there who don’t know of freelance websites. If a link to your service is out on a blog or social media the buyer or searcher could readily follow your link. There are websites that do blog posts for gigs and freelancers. An example of a blog is bestfiverrwriter.blogspot.com, they advertise gigs for free and could make up creative posts about your service.

Do you know the most terrible thing about this promotion stuffs. When someone gets into Fiverr through your promotion link. Immediately the system will start to recommend your competitors. For new sellers. Many times buyers will come in through your promotion link and end up buying from your competitors .

Hello @fastcopywriter

You did something great .

Was his portfolio on a youtube channel or…

No, his portfolio was on Fiverr like everyone else’s. In this case, it was his gig video that impressed me. If you do whiteboard or blackboard videos, your gig video should demonstrate your skills.

@fastcopywriter… the Seller definitely will remember you for long time.

Same like me… I still remember my first buyer name. It almost 7 years a go. It’s good experience to remember.

Well, I think that seller is no longer on Fiverr, but even if he was, most sellers don’t remember their first buyer, I’m surprised you do.

What was the order for?

To this day I still remember my very first buyer, and looking back I think she bought from me just because I was new. The job was extremely simple, so much so that I was worried I had misinterpreted it somehow, but the review was quick, encouraging, and I’ve got to say, came at a time when I was considering remaining on other sites instead of spending any time here.

Can’t say her username here, but I’ve never forgotten her, and it has its…frustrations…but Fiverr really has changed my life. So thank you to She Who Shall Not Be Named, wherever you are.

My first buyer placed me another order just today. Now I’m at 3rd order.

I’m a newbie in Fiverr. My account is only 7days older. It’s really such a great feelings.

Thank you fiverr for this great platform. 😍

My first buyer is an animation agent for television show. I just do simple prop animation at that time. That gig is my animation debut for TV show.

I motivated to do full time freelance because of his motivation.

I’ll remember my first buyer. Who left me an order without even messaging.

I also will remember my second buyer. He was the first person who contacted me first. And placed me a $50 order to a newbie.

For a bit late less than one hour he became my second buyer.

Both my first and second buyer will remain in my mind who put faith on me.
