Selling on Fiverr is the same game as selling on Amazon. KEYWORDS!

I’m not sure how well it is working yet. I think it is a move in the right direction, but I think more needs to be done to rebrand the “Pro” level services. I think it has boosted sales on my non-Pro gigs. But, I don’t think it is yet attracting the type of bigger-budget companies Fiverr was hoping for. I have experimented a lot with pricing over the years. I have never had much traction getting people to buy a gig priced more than $200-$300 as a first purchase.

But, since I have had my own freelance writing business outside of Fiverr for six years, and as a former business owner who used freelancers, i know that there are lots of companies with the budgets to buy more expensive services if they trust the reputation of the freelancer. Fiverr just isn’t attracting these businesses to the platform yet. i suspect that the service charges and awkward communication system of the platform may be off-putting to bigger companies.

Since were used to Fiverr, it is not a big deal to us, but I do notice that some clients I have brought in through cold calling have complained about the way the system works. Particularly the difficulty in placing an order. There are too many steps to it for a first time buyer.
