New Seller - Gig improvements

[lightworkerjay]

Hello, I am a new seller here on Fiverr. I wandered if anyone could give tips on what is the best kind of video to add to a Gig? Would a more personal video of me talking be better than a created video without me in it? I understand the logic people buy from people, so I wandered if this might improve my gigs and conversions bu adding a more personal video

Many thanks

Hi Jamie,

Considering your service and the fact that you’re a native speaker, I think a personal video is better than a cheap whiteboard animation.

The slideshow video you have right now isn’t really engaging either I’m afraid 🙂
It won’t make you stand out because anyone can make a video like that.

@uxreview Thank you for the input - Looks like I will be in front of the camera today, I quickly threw the videos together so I had a feeling they would not be as engaging as a more personal video from me. I am however rather camera shy, but I must overcome this and crack on with it 😂

I have the same problem, but fortunately my service doesn’t require me to be in front of a camera. My clients care more about the designs. However, in your case I think they want to meet the person 🙂

Although, don’t make a low-quality living room video 😉

Find an appropriate background for your video and if you have any resources to hire a video editor to make the smooth transitions and clean up any possible sound issues then please do so.

I didn’t have much time to do a proper research, but take a look at his videos. He’s casually explaining his experience, showing pieces of his daily life and even though it looks professional, it doesn’t feel too scripted.

😂 I may have to create a cheap video - I do not really have the resources at the moment to create anything spectacular.

I will have a play around and hope for the best, hopefully my nervous disposition will be enough to win them over :roll_eyes:

This usually happens when you’re talking to the camera. It might help if you do it in an interview format like the video I shared. Put the camera (iPhone 😃 ) on a steady stand and simply talk to your wife / GF / friend.

Later you can cut it the way it makes sense.
