I believe my on page SEO is good. I am even considering building links to the gig itself ( is this something people do ? ).

The rest of your comment I don’t know how to achieve hence this thread.

While you may think you have the most awesome of Gigs, having over 200 impressions but not a single click or sale tells me your Gig is not exactly all that amazing - much like an ugly baby - only a mother could love that face. I am not saying your Gig is ugly - I am just using an analogy.

Obviously, if your Gig(s) have been seen or put before viewers eyes 200 times or more, and not one of those viewers thought to click your Gig and learn more, there is something seriously wrong with your Gig.

I think what the issue here is, you have been a member since 2011 and have not made one sale? Another problem is your pricing - you want hundreds of dollars to write blog posts that you claim will help someone’s ranking in Google - and you have no reviews here - no feedback and no Level. Why would anyone pay hundreds of dollars just based on you claiming you can do X or Y? I will tell you - they won’t. Unless you are a big name person already with a following, you will likely not sell a thing here unless you lower your prices. Now, do you have to sell things for $5 - of course not, and perhaps your “thing” is truly worth the $240 or whatever your base price is - but, to the average buyer here, they do not know that - you do not have any track record to prove it. No reviews saying how your service got their web page or blog on the 1st page in Google results etc.

So, I think that is why people are passing up your Gig for less expensive ones that may or may not be as good as yours.

People are getting sticker shock with your Gigs. That is why you are not getting sales.

If you had taken the time to actually go look at this guy’s Gigs, you would not have just given a meatless sandwich to him of “advice”.

Next time you want to critique or give advice on someone’s Gig, actually go LOOK at it.

Thanks for this advise. I see the price is an issue but to be fair the price is just fair only that it seems people on Fiverr prefer junk.

I have my most expensive priced at $80 per post and for fairly good sites that get good traffic with extremely low outbound links.

Lowering the price especially with Fiverr taking 20% means I work for free. At that price, my profit is $15 per sale.

Not worth the stress lowering the price but yes I understand what you are saying. There are tons of cheaper junks on Fiverr.

[yommys01]

if you need sale your gig, you need an email marketing. i can help you to do that. here is my gig https://www.fiverr.com/share/KkP6yz. also you need maximum time active in online and send buyer request everyday. after that you will gain some sell

Because I am new I don’t get buyer request or maybe I don’t know how to get it.

I am always online. My reply time is 1 hour.

Yes, Ms Guidance is right. It is not nice to hear but Fiverr is known for buyers who only want to pay $5 for a Ferrari. Even if that Ferrari is really a Ferragi with 3 wheels and a rubber band under the hood.

It makes it a very difficult platform on which to do larger projects or find buyers who actually want quality work as fear is what drives most of the platform.

It is not to say that all buyers & sellers are 💩 just that the overall tone is far more low-rent than high so it is less likely that people who want true specialist work are here. Maybe some other platform - altho most I will say are similar as I think Saturn & Pluto are ruling culture over the last decade or so.

If you really can rank websites with genuine link building strategies, you may be better off having your own website as that will surely funnel qualified people to you??

Thanks for being so helpful. I have read a lot of your comments on other threads.

Can you please advise me on how to send buyer requests?

I see many new users are able to send buyers request but I can’t. I have followed all the instructions but can’t see anything on buyer request on my dashboard.

DO NOT spam your Gig link here or try to sell your services in the forum.

There are only TWO areas where you can post your Gig links: “My Fiverr Gigs” and “Improve My Gig”

Otherwise, it makes you look like an unprofessional begging fool.

READ the forum TOS while you are at it.

I can see it on app now. But no requests so far

Requests are not going to always show up - a buyer has to actually post a request!

Also, the requests are linked to what categories your Gigs are placed in - so, there may be some areas or categories that have very few if any requests or ones that have a ton. Be aware though, that there are a ton of copy/paste people who will reply to the buyer’s requests quickly even if they didn’t read it - and cannot do the job adequately - do not let it hinder you from replying to a buyer’s request if you feel you can do the job - if there are already a multitude of people replying and EVEN if they are saying they will give the world on a silver platter for $5.

I also do not know if you can see more buyer’s requests on a pc or laptop than you can on a phone or tablet? I use my PC to do everything on Fiverr (I am old and old fashioned I guess).

In my recent quick experience comparinating BR across PC and App they have been exactly the same (Gig info display apparently is not always as much of your info hidden - requiring opening up).

Once or twice the App has shown more Attachments in some BR - the only reason I ever look there.

No difference but like GG, I never do business on a phone as it is not easy to be serious on such a limited platform where sentence longer write can you not and people read not neither because they think anything past 3 words is an insult under their TL:DR rules.

I never do business on the phone (although I do have the app installed and do check my phone if I do not have the PC on to make sure I have not missed messages!) and I also never do business with buyer’s requests.

It is indeed better when you can avoid BR altogether as they have plunged right into the sewer in the last year. They are mostly truly frightening.

It saddens me that people apply for these things in any way that says that they will do what it requested for those terms. I would be has happy to be rid of them myself - and maybe I should just be anyway.

You should see the ones posted in my categories (Psychics/Readings).

“Give me a spell that will make me win the lotto”, “Make my ex come back to me”, “Make me invisible from the law (or process server)”. 😆

Too funny.

Oh that is why I am too scared to offer my psychotic services here. I got Interviewed for a large West Coast American phone-in site but was knocked back and I think it was because they realized that I just wasn’t going to flatter the crazies with that sort of stuff.

That and I think I actually saw/said something that the second lady did not want me to have seen. It is a curse I have to see straight to the heart of something and say without even knowing it is a thing.

Sadly most seem to only want to be told pretty lies, not what might really get them moving. Like here really.

[english_voice]

Hello. A few thoughts.

1. You have to appear credible. Firstly, one of your gig images appears to be borrowed from another external seller (The Maverick Spirit): About - TheMaverickSpirit & Co-Founders: Ankita Arya & Mayank Majeji . Secondly, your three gig images show no continuity in style - they are all in a different style and appear ‘borrowed’.

2. For a seller with no feedback you are asking a very high price by Fiverr standards. While I always encourage sellers to set a fair price rather than be the cheapest, you are asking any potential buyer to put a lot faith in you for an unproven service.

3. You might say you are better than most - but we only have your word on that. You are asking a premium price but there is no evidence to backup your words.

4. You write “Although I do not regard myself as an expert in SEO, but I certainly do know how to rank a website”.This is fair enough, but most buyers will expect you to have an understanding of SEO if you are writing guest posts which people tend to buy in order to attract views.

Yes, many of the platforms that you have to “audition” for will not choose you if you do not feed into the fantasy and “feel good” nonsense the disillusioned caller wants.

Look, either that caller is going to be mad and hate you today because you told them their POI is not into them or the ex is not coming back OR they are going to hate you and be even angrier after spending thousands of dollars on you (and every other reader on the site) only to find out their POI has run off to marry his pregnant girlfriend.

BUT they said we were twin souls or karmic mates!!! WTH!!!

I would rather give medicine than candy. Hate me now, not later.

I will be blunt here. I wouldn’t pay hundreds of dollars to a seller that has no reviews and no social proofing. Your gig is very expensive, which can turn a lot of people off. Study your competitors and try to price your gig adequately.

I don’t believe your gig has issues, my personal opinion is that the price is very high. And there might be other sellers with way more reviews and similar prices, so obviously people gravitate towards them. Since you don’t have a lot of reviews… you can see why people might be hesitant to spend hundreds of dollars without knowing what they get in return.

1. Interesting - TBH I did notice that discrepancy between images, sadly I get somewhat immunized from seeing so many template, stock, or explosion in a spew factory images. I was happy that these were not the latter.
2. Indeed
3. That is a serious issue here - lack of proof does not make a thing so.
4. SEO is a given in web writing, that is a very fair point. I never wrote any (paid) article where SEOness was not on the table. Yet for myself I barely think on it.

These are fair questions and should be addressed (calmly) if not answered directly as people have been helping and if under false pretense, an apology is due.

I wondered at some of these but worked to try to be kind (after this afternoon’s debacle) and I try to write not just for the OP but for others coming along later to have things that may help them.

I’ve talked about one of the images including the branding of another company. Another of the images contains large parts of a gig image used by another Fiver seller, and yet another contains a very common image (the woman sat on the floor with her arms in the air). Maybe these last two are stock images, but it’s all part of the ‘credibility’ thing. When you ask a premium fee - everything about your gig has to be premium, otherwise it just doesn’t work. I’m being factual about this rather than accusatory.
