There are some issues with your gigs that is likely putting people off. I’ve only looked at the first one but this is what I see straight off:

  • English spelling and grammatical mistakes all over the gig. It makes it look unprofessional and mistakes in your advertisement will lead prospective customers to believe that you will make mistakes in your work
  • The gig images are garish and unprofessional. Cutesy pictures are good if you’re selling cutesy pictures, but if you’re selling web based services, then it isn’t going to cut it. There are also spelling and grammatical mistakes in the images.
  • Your gig comes across as desperate. I can clearly see that in your post here where you say “It became very much necessary for me to prove myself that i can also earn.” Customers pick up on desperate and it is a red flag for most.
  • Never offer unlimited revisions. It’s far too easy to be exploited by customers where they keep you working forever and you don’t get paid.
  • Your price seems ridiculously low for what you’re offering. See previous comment on “desperate.”
  • Using bold/highlighting of text in your gig will not get attention, it just looks sad and tacky.

So what can you do?

Focus on telling your customers what it is you can do to solve their problem. Why they should trust you and choose you over the thousand other people offering exactly the same service. If you want to be a professional, you have to be the professional. That is the image you need to convey.

I’m with @janeeditor on this

This image:

You say that you have completed 75 commercial projects but your gig image is this.

This image is clearly a template from a real dev that you stuck some really poorly made (and placed) wording over the top to try to make us think that you have skills. Sadly this does the complete opposite.

This is why you are chasing people away.

Not only are you trying to do one of the most competitive things in the world, but the evidence that should be proving to me that you are worth my trust (and coin) is achieving the complete opposite.

Be pleased that you did not get any jobs as this indicates that you would have gotten in a real mess. Right now you can start again with no negative reviews (or I assume warnings).

Do you have a real skill, something that you can do better than most other people?

I will film myself juggling oil rigs, whilst yodling the national anthem of any country?

I will bake cookies and feed them to the poor in your name

There has to be something that you can actually do that you can offer in confidence. Work out what that is and offer that with a nicely worded Gig.

I will try to make more professional images and remove grammertical mistakes away.

Thank you for your advice.
