joyfulredactor Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Hi everyone,I’m new on Fiverr and try to always improve my gig in order to get buyers. Out of curiosity to see how my gig appears on the list of sellers for proofreading and editing service, I searched and searched but did not see my gig page at all, while my gig status is still active. Does anyone know what happened?or what do I need to do to appear on the sellers page for buyers to even see my service? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, it will depend on volume of sales, keywords used in your gig, and possibly other factors.More Information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If new sellers need a particular volume of sales before showing on the list, then I think it’s unfair. How will they make a sale or sales if no buyers even see the service they offer? I think keywords used might be among the other factors… I will improve on that.Thanks once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of my sales come from using Buyer Requests section of the website. People post up jobs in your gig’s category, and you can respond to them with your gig and a small sales pitch. It’s worked for me - really it’s the only thing that has brought me sales. I’ve had maybe 3-4 orders from people finding me, and that was way later on after I had 40 some reviews.It’s hard, but you can do it. Spiff your gig up and make it professional. People respond to professionalism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your testimony is inspiring. Thanks for your words of encouragement!People often complain about the sellers in Buyer Requests, and it’s true that they are an annoyance. The same number of buyers would be there even if they were gone, though, so just ignore the sellers and keep bidding until you’ve hit 10 or have run out of offers in your best skillsets. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tee_hi Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Hi! I don’t know that it makes a difference, but I noticed that the first gig on your Profile page is actually listed under “Writing & Translation / Translation”, so perhaps changing its category would help?
