5 donnovan86 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I joined in 2014 and got multiple orders the same day. But that was around 9 years ago. These days.. it's very difficult to receive orders just because there are SO MANY people coming to Fiverr and randomly creating gigs. Not everyone is a professional, In fact most people creating gigs don't have a clue what they are doing. Yet Fiverr still tries to offer them the spotlight and they showcase these gigs in front of potential buyers. You need to create great gigs, make them stand out and surpass all the others with samples and back up all your claims. It's the hardest it's ever been to stand out on Fiverr, but many people do it and you can do it too. 20 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 catwriter Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 There's no set average. It depends on what you offer, how good you are at what you do, whether there are buyers looking for the service(s) that you offer, how many sellers offer the same kind of service... and the last time I checked, there were almost 16,000 web design gigs on Fiverr. Which means that you'll need to come up with a way to get noticed among thousands of others offering the same thing. 12 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your profile says you joined in May 2022. It took me 45 days to get my first order. However, I joined in 2017, three years before the pandemic, when sellers joined Fiverr in masses, and there are now 2 to three times as many sellers here as there were then. 18 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 jonbaas Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 It takes as long as it takes. What actions are you pursuing to make it more likely that buyers will contact or hire you? 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 enunciator Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 There is not set average. First order can range from within the first day active all the way to still waiting for an indeterminate amount of time... 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 skopurbo Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 The simple answer is “ there is no Avg time” Order depends on many thing like your gig including description, sample, services, price and buyer request. Make high quality gigs (as many as allowed) Add the best portfolio Title should be not too complicated Use the most relevant tags Select your price wisely Use buyer request daily (use it for sending your offers to sellers not for your advertisement) Use social media platform for your advertisement, You can get order in few days 🙂 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 touhidulbashar4 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 It doesn't depend on time. If you have beautiful and attractive gigs and Daily send your attractive request to buyers daily. I hope you will get the first order soon. thank you 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 uk1000 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Only Fiverr will probably know an accurate answer to this. What you could do is add a poll to see how long it took people to get their first order/first message but it might be different for people who started a few years ago (when there was less competition) compared to those who started recently. Maybe it depends on different things like the subcategory of the gigs etc. Like has been suggested, sending offers to buyer requests (for things you could do well) will probably increase the chance of getting orders/messages, depending on the offers you send. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 amazon_express Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 This is not sure when you will get client , your gig is on the way when you publish , you can get client any time and you should try to marketing your gig in social media. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 oyoffers Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 my first order came after around 3 weeks after my first gig was made , and now after exactly one month of having 7 gigs , i have orders in 3 of them ( multiple orders for some ) and none yet for others , it"s mostly about chance sometimes and niches you are invested in , some can be slower to provide orders for you than others 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cognac This is only possible with a very good experience of waiting - you should be professional! If you really wait a long time and are already an expert at it, then you can stay awake even 48 hours per day 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't depend on time! It depends on your gig. Make a proper optimized gig with proficient elements and make sure you're able to provide that service.
