insects44 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 HERE IS WHY:Because the number of sellers. Check it out for your gigs category with the search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebekahgillian Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 The truth is, writing is an extremely competitive category here on Fiverr. There are writers from all different countries offering what appears to be the same service. Why would someone click on your gig over someone else’s? What else can you offer them?I’m a writer here on Fiverr, and I find my content writing gig does the worst out of all of them. There are probably a few reasons for this, one being that it’s an oversaturated category, and I know I charge more than other sellers. I’ve accepted that I won’t get many writing orders here on Fiverr (I also freelance independently, because putting all your eggs in one basket is a very bad idea), and count myself lucky on the orders I do get.The gigs that people order the most from me are the ones that offer something different. To find out how I could fill gaps, I researched what was already available, and brainstormed until I found an idea not many people had thought of. I have two of these gigs on my profile, and one is vastly more successful than the other, showing it doesn’t always work, but it’s worth it for when it does.In short, find something you’re good at that isn’t oversaturated on the Fiverr marketplace. It could still be writing-related, as mine are, but simply a different take on writing that other people haven’t thought of before, or something that not many people are doing.

xuntes Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 2 things:you are competing in the largest freelancer site in the world. Also competing with the best freelancers in the world.Promote yourself, you wont get orders just because you placed a gig at fiverr.Being amazingly skilled doesn’t mean you will be successful. You must be a business person too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any ideas for such niche writing gigs that you might be able to offer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uxreview Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Yes, writing category is competitive, but I had a quick look at your gigs and to be honest there are a ton of things you can do to improve your gigs.Keep reading the forum and once you learn how to properly showcase your service, your sales will pick up 🙂PS. Others can weigh in here, but I think your descriptions have way too many grammar mistakes for a writer 😦Besides, some of your recent clients have been writers offering the same service. There’s nothing wrong with outsourcing, but it can be a turn-off for some buyers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

videoarticle Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 Dear Good People of FIVERR.Although I love the ideology behind the creation of FIVERR. I still have my reservations, especially while taking a graceful look at its challenges for “freshers”. 😍 Why is FIVERR so overpopulated. Am not getting orders!!! Are my gigs that stupid? Or is FIVERR that overpopulated that my gigs have been drowned into nonexistence? These days having a single order sounds like a tall, fat left handed Montana tale.:rofl:My team is getting orders at an average of once a month:rofl::rofl::rofl: while some are having 20 orders on queue :rofl::rofl:But seriously.I need help, advice, sales … Thank you guys.Mod Note: Country/region reference edited.

Fiverr is not “overpopulated”, it is merely popular and competitive. That’s a good thing, especially for buyers looking for a wide variety of services. On 8/31/2018 at 3:01 PM, videoarticle said: Am not getting orders!!! Are my gigs that stupid? Or is FIVERR that overpopulated that my gigs have been drowned into nonexistence? Perhaps you should be asking yourself, instead, what are you doing to earn your orders. You are likely to disappear into the crowd if you aren’t doing anything to promote your services to the target customers that need the work you have to offer. Sitting around, waiting for orders, and doing nothing to reach out to the buyers is a strategy waiting to fail. You can’t expect orders, just because you’re here on Fiverr. Fiverr is a competitive marketplace… learn how to compete. 😉 On 8/31/2018 at 3:01 PM, videoarticle said: These days having a single order sounds like a tall, fat left handed Montana tale. Again, you can set yourself up for plenty of orders, but you’re going to have to treat your gigs like a business and reach out to the target customers that need what you have to offer. Lazy freelancers rarely succeed (in any marketplace). On 8/31/2018 at 3:01 PM, videoarticle said: My team is getting orders at an average of once a month… while some are having 20 orders on queue… Yes, and those sellers with regular orders are probably doing marketing, promotion, and reaching out to the people that need their services. They are taking their gigs seriously, and building their customer base. Have YOU been doing anything like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

videoarticle Posted September 10, 2018 Author Share Posted September 10, 2018 I recently started a campaign on social media for my FIVERR gig. However I have a feeling that some potential buyers might come to the site through my link but end up buying from my competitors. Please how do I get a link through which only my gig can be ordered. What is GIG SEO TITLE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pariwash Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 use the main work in title e.g if your gig is of logo then use logo work in title and once your gig is published never ever edit title because it will become your url. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mshahrearshohag Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 SEO gig title is more like a short tagline for the gig. In technical words, it called as a meta tag. Whenever you search on search engines you’ve seen that there are a title and a short description shows up. That title is called a meta tag.

A lot of buyers can get nitpicky if you have typos in your finished product.“These includes” is incorrect. It should be either “These include” or “this includes”.Also, some of the turns of phrases come off a bit stiff. “Fixing your gaze on the right gig” sounds odd, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve made the necessary adjustments. I still don’t understand how a sentence can be stiff. Perhaps, I have to research on that and adjust thereafter. Honestly. I’m better in creativity than in language. So majority of my experience in writing hinges majorly on creative writing - poetry and fiction. But only article writing have been giving me a little cash.

videoarticle Posted October 2, 2018 Author Share Posted October 2, 2018 Hello Guys, I took a test and had 62% although Fiverr said I passed the test, I'm not happy with the result. Fiverr told me that after 24 hours I can retake the test. Will I be able to decide which of the two scores to display on my profile when I retake the test?
