Six Second Intro Replaces Video Preview

[steveeyes]

One of the things I wanted to do in trying to get more customers was to be consistent with my video thumbnails. I know within Fiverr, you can Pause your gig and supposedly select that portion of the video as your video preview or thumbnail, but mine never worked properly.

I learn that the first 6 seconds of your video is what fiverr will use automatically as your preview. So for every gig, I did a 6 second whiteboard intro with an intro VO along a thumbnail created in photoshop. Now all my gig’s intro are consistent and it helped attract new buyers.

A big thank you to Eoin for getting me to look at things from a different perspective.

A thank you to Lisa for doing the intro VO… she does a great job

Your videos and thumbnails look amazing! I’m very impressed.

Didn’t know that - thank you so much for sharing! 🙂

I’m planning some new gigs, so might try it out!

I agree with @misscrystal those thumbnails just invite people to click on to your gig.
A great title and gig image/thumbnail is the difference between a gig getting impressions and getting clicks.
Glad I could help 🙂 and glad it has worked out well.

Thanks for the compliments and feedback. It took me at least 3 tries to get it right. Fiverr CS must of been getting sick of approving my videos but the only way I could figure out what would work and wouldn’t work was to upload and then test. Sorry CS 🙂

Do you mean the fact I could not use the preview feature when editing the gig? I’m not sure it was a bug but I know over the years mine worked on and off. When we went through the latest update and things slowed down I wanted to change my thumbnail look but the preview feature did not work so I found another way.

I remember mine didn’t work for a while but it did in the end. I bolt on my thumbnail picture at the end of my video and then selected it as the thumbnail but pausing it etc when editing.

Must be a bug of some kind.

If it doesn’t work then find a way… And that’s what you did so I’m impressed 😁
