haappytohelp Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Heyy Fiverr,We have just started up on Fiverr, We really find it to be an amazing place to showcase your talent and earn money at the same time. Fiverr just made us love our hobby even more, Now everyday is more interesting checking out new ways to promote our gigs, and stuff like that. The problem is we are kind of stuck up on the video part. Would adding a video really help in increasing our sales ?Cheers and All the Best !!Regards,HappytoHelp.

rinchan86 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I believe it would definitely help showcase your gig a lot better.Personally, when I look for gigs to buy, I find that I often click the “With Video” section, which means only gigs that have videos will show up.If nothing else, it definitely helps with exposure. =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musiclover Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Videos are nice and helps but aren’t a guaranteed way of increasing sales. If no one’s interested in what you’re selling, then they’re not going to buy it regardless of what you do or say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aungmyomyint113 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Fiverr video buffer needs very good internet speed. I cannot see videos smoothly like YouTube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinchan86 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Reply to @musiclover: However, if they were interested, it could definitely set that gig apart from the others offering the same or similar service. The video could also create interest. I’ve had many buyers tell me that they didn’t have the intention of buying anything at first until they saw my videos. =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chikaonyenezi Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Yes it will, but I haven’t done that myself though. My gig is selling very well, but I hope to do that in future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haappytohelp Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 Reply to @rinchan86: Thanks rinchan !! That really was helpful. Maybe they are worth a shot. The problem, however in our case is that it would hard for us to explain what we do in a video. Would it be ok if we remain anonymous and the customers don’t see us ??

haappytohelp Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 Reply to @musiclover: Ya our thoughts exactly. maybe we can do some videos after we get some sort of a headstart. Thanks for the info though. And ya we didn’t know where this question would be getting better response so we posted twice. Our bad !! 😛 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsch001 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I think it depends on what you do, and if that is going to help you sell more. For instance, I do translations - how would I present that in a video that I can do myself? Just talk about it?Although actually, I probably could do, come to think of it. For one thing, if buyers check the “with video” gigs, and yours is the only one, or one of the few, in that search to have video, you will be noticed more, which would hopefully mean more sales and better exposure in general.

Assuming you're talking about the water droplet gigs, you could think about filming the process of how you get your pictures (kind of like many of the stop motion gigs), do a slideshow video of examples you've done in the past, inform your viewers about gig extras or other information. The video doesn't have to be complex. For example, take a look at this one:http://fiverr.com/rinandkagura/create-a-voiceover-dialogue-between-two-girls I spent a grand total of 5 minutes max on that one using iMovie. Put a background song on it, some fun pics, add "Exclusively on Fiverr.com" somewhere in there and bam! There's your video. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haappytohelp Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 Reply to @marsch001: Exactly !! It would not be an easy task to make a video of what we do, we could fire up our grey cells and think of something but would it be worth it ? And you’ve just answered it thanks a ton, really informative !! Cheers and all the best to u !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haappytohelp Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 Reply to @rinchan86: Thanks a ton for the reply and the time you took to even view our gigs, being a top rated seller that was awesome of you !! Fiverr is indeed a very friendly place !! Ya a stop motion video might just work. It wouldn’t hurt our chances to just try. We will give it a shot.And your video, by the way, way too creative no wonder you are a top rated seller. Thanks again would definitely consider your advice. Cheers and all the best to you !!
