Critical Analysis on my Gig?

Recommended Posts

Looking at what you have done for clients and delivered on Fiverr, you have incredible talents. But I don’t understand why you would undersell yourself for $5. Especially with your professional background, you should charge quite a bit more than $5 for the basic gig (unsure of exact numbers). This may actually turn off buyers who think you faked the samples before they see your history work on Fiverr.
Also, I understand the sentiment behind your last sentence, “It is the job of the seller to satisfy the buyer, not the job of the buyer to satisfy the seller,” but buyers may take this as a passive way of encouraging people to buy in context of the “Even if you don’t order from me” (it’s hard to know the intended tone over the Internet).
Finally, I would recommend making your first sentence describe in detail what this gig offers, rather than putting it at the middle/end.
Other than that, your gig looks excellent.

Seems an overall solid gig, but with some caveats.

  1. The pricing seems quite low for a digitally composed 60 second orchestral piece. I fully understand if that is just because you want build a track record of reviews and possibly gain a level before bumping up prices, but it might detract from buyers who’ll assume you cannot realistically deliver what you promise at that price point.

  2. Your premium package has unlimited revisions. That should be vigorously thrown out the window with haste. Unlimited revisions equals unlimited headaches with problematic buyers. To save yourself from experiencing this first-hand, it would be best to make the change now.

  3. Expand your FAQ! Describe in detail what constitutes a revision, what genres or moods you specialize in, if you require mention or credits in projects from purchasers, etc.

  4. The “It is the job of the seller to satisfy the buyer, not the job of the buyer to satisfy the seller” quote, while well intended, might be seen as a sign to a predatory buyer to try to drag as much out of an order for free as possible.

  5. The reference to last gig edit date is not necessary.

Btw, I won’t expect you to start analyzing my gigs. I didn’t respond to your post to establish a quid pro quo. 🙂

Hi! Thank you. May I humbly ask your opinion for how much I should increase my gig pricing by? I wanted to set it low to attract more costumers, I normally end up working about 3 hours for a $5 gig. But if setting it low is making costumers turn away, I would not want it neither. So what is your opinion?

Thanks!!!

After looking at other sellers, they sell an equivalent gig at about $30 (also, I noticed that they tend to limit the number of instruments, which may be a good idea to avoid overly-demanding buyers). However, there are several people who charge as much as $50 or even $500 per minute. I would say $20-$30 is a good start, then you can bump the price up as you receive more customers.

Wow. Fortunately, I haven’t faced much overly-demanding buyers. So maybe I’ll raise the price a bit to perhaps $10, and see how it performs over the next few days, and change it accordingly. THANKS!!!
