Exprerienced Fiverr Sellers: Offer 1 tip to the newbies

My tip would be to read the Terms of Service carefully.

I am also a newbie, But one thing to say…if you don’t do fiverr fulltime, don’t put short delivery time as well. Specially be careful when you post express gigs. Otherwise you will get a negative feedback for on-time delivery.

Be realistic about your gig times and your client’s expectations. If you don’t think you can deliver what they expect, be honest about it and explain what you can do for them. Communication between buyer and client is essential to getting good reviews which definitely keep your rating high and more clients coming in. For me, its all about those reviews and ratings!

[hotwebideas]

Reply to @jessbepaws: Yes, I notice that I get better reviews when I communicate with the buyers.

My tip: Don’t expect orders to just fall into your lap. Promoting your gig is key to your success.



One more tip (sorry): Being featured does not mean more orders (well this is my personal experience). You’ll make more money just being on the homepage because your gig is displayed longer (it depends on what you’re offering though). Featured gigs are rotated, so exposure time is limited. That’s a million dollar tip right there. Lol

Reply to @arnevb: I agree with you. Smiley faces make a big difference, because people don’t always know your tone via text. You may come off as being mean or sturn, but a smiley faces comes off as friendly and welcoming. 🙂

Just always try to update your buyers…if you are late in delivery, any new changes gig - update your buyers, post new gigs, any offer like christmas offer, new year offers - update old buyers…It also has great impact . This is what I do… I think when buyer starts calling you with your name. It is your real success

hi, how do i create the video?

[jamesosix]

Some great tips thanks guys!



Mine would be communicate! For one of my gigs, I was away and forgot to suspend the gig. I got an email, but didn’t have what I needed with me on holiday (wasn’t expecting to get a gig), so I emailed the buyer, politely outlined my situation and promised to make it up to him/her with a bonus and they where fantastic.



They could have cancelled but by the time it was completed, they actual left me great feedback!

Yes, Jo. I agree that it's all about the community, which I have been pushing since this forum's day 1 ;)

I think communication is the #1 tip in any relationship whether love or business.

[phphero]

Mine is simple :

“Put an extra smile”.



You could use “:)”

[hotwebideas]

Reply to @phphero: That’s a cool one. A smile always helps deliver the gig better too.
