Popular Post eoinfinnegan Posted September 4, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted September 4, 2017 Yeah, this is the holy grail for everyone and this advice won’t apply to all gigs but everyone should consider if this can be something they can try.A couple of days ago I needed some stuff for a client as part of a larger project. It was a writing project but a little different or more niche to what I order from the writers I hire regularly so I decided to search and see if anything came up for it. In two years and several thousand searches the following has never happened to me!I got one result! 1!Luckily it was someone I knew from the forum and so I was happy to just order immediately.The thing is, I don’t believe this was a particularly unusual search term yet only one seller had a gig offering it - out of 3 million gigs on Fiverr. However, this seller had taken the time to make a specific gig for this and it got her the sale. It’s worth noting that this order was for around $100 in total but I split it between that seller and 2 people I hire regularly. If I was a new buyer or did not have a number of people I use regularly then I would have given the full order to the specialist gig.I’m not going to say what it was exactly as I would be quite happy for that seller to keep her exclusivity but I will give some hints on what you could do to try become the exclusive gig or one of very few on a search term.For anyone that offers any kind of creative service, have you got gigs that are for specific times of the year, holidays, niches etc?If not, why not? For sellers of videos, logos, voiceovers, websites testimonials, writers etc, use some of your spare gig slots and look at what niches and holidays have very little competition. It might take an hour to find one or two that you can do but surely that is better than just waiting and clicking refresh?With the holidays that are coming up in quick succession in the next couple of months, a little effort could pay off in a big way. Remember that specialization means you can charge a premium for it too!Also, when you have a gig for say, Christmas - after Christmas just pause it and replace it with one for New Year, Valentines, Patrick’s day etc and then reactivate it the next year. You could cover most holidays and occasions in rotation and use only one or two gig slots.PS. I don’t recommend changing the title on gigs, create separate gigs and just pause and unpause them as they are needed. 61 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woofy31 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 On 9/4/2017 at 1:36 PM, eoinfinnegan said: I got one result! 1! Actually, there might be more than just that 1 result - this happened to me a few times in the past, where I would search for something, and 1 or even 0 results would show up, which made no sense to me as there should’ve been at least a few sellers offering what I searched for (I was certain that they were there in the past). So I contacted CS asking them if it’s a search bug or not, and they told me that there could be gigs that don’t show up because they’re pending approval after edits, being reviewed, etc., and guess what? After a couple of days, searching for the same terms had brought up a handful of results 😉 Conclusion: when you stumble upon a search term that yields no results or just 1/a few, don’t immediately assume you’ve found a gold mine, and re-check that search term after a couple of days - there might actually be gigs for that term that are being reviewed by Fiverr and thus not showing up just yet. 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And here you have toppled the holy grail that everyone was about to take a sip of. 😃 Well, great advice by Eoin nonetheless. Many people search for particular words (like holidays, specific niches etc.) to get exactly what they need. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yourcgbuddy Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 To add something more to what mr.Woofy has said, today I searched my gig by its name and surprisingly there were many gigs shown in the results but not mine. And, all these gigs had almost different keywords in the title.I think Fiverr search is a joke.Also, one of the cs staffs confirmed that search results are not static. It will vary from one user to another, even if they search by same keyword. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulmaplesden Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Yep, the thing that seems to be really in demand at the moment (for me) is work on cryptocurrency, blockchain and ICOs. I am regularly approached for these and just don’t have any capacity at the moment. There’s definitely a killing to be made for experts in those spaces.

fastcopywriter Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Being on the first page, in the relevance section, is the best thing there is.If you’re on the first row, even better.It doesn’t guarantee you’ll get lots of orders, but at least buyers will see you. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coderboss Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Please tell me your hidden trick, Why your gig on first page. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prasen_jit Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I think there are no hidden trick in Fiverr. In fiver forum all are seller so no one tell you why their gig on first page. You know that everyone here is your competitor so no one want to share their trick. Just tell you use proper Gig title, Choose right keyword, Write unique Description and use eye-catching Gig Images or use video. One more things don't forget to use SEO Title. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andywarburton Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 (edited) One thing you can do is to niche down, Using logo design as an example, don't offer "Logo design". There are almost 170,000 people offering "logo design" but only 2000 for "floral logo design", 485 for "futuristic logo design" etc. Every category has niches, find one with less people in it and focus your efforts there and you'll be more likley to find customers which will let you build up reviews, become more trusted, get a higher seller level and then you can go to work on the broader categories or bigger niches.
