How I became a level 2 seller - some tips for you. [ARCHIVED]

[jayapatel]

Hi everyone,

I wanted to take a moment to share my fiverr story.

I started selling my keyword research service on Dec 16.

Within 2 days, i hit my 10th sale and became level 1 seller

Today, 15 days later, i just got an order for my 50th sale and became a level 2 seller with 100% gig rating.

I work 60 hours a day as a chef and have 2 small kids but somehow because of the extra time during the holidays i managed to do about 5 orders a day.

I’m telling you all of this because:

1. I wanted to thank some of the forum fiver members who contributed to their tips and advice, i could not have done this without your help. so thank you!!!

2. Provide you with motivation that if i can do this anyone can.

Here are some tips that come to my mind:

• place a video of your fiverr gig from day1. i believe this was the main reason i started getting orders right away without any history.

• listen to other successful fiverr sellers who are willing to give you advice in this forum (again, i took this advice to heart and really applied some of the tips being offered here)

• do anything to help make your gig stand out especially if you are in a saturated niche…offer a bonus, make your gig an express gig, and use all of the description word count to explain your services. Use all of your tags too btw.

• be good with communicating with your customers and over deliver!

• Treat your fiverr account like a business, keep fiver happy and keep your customers happy and be a good steward to the fiverr community.

I can’t believe i’m giving out advice after only being a fiver seller for 15 days. Somehow my heart says that someone might be able to benefit from this.

thank you!
Jaya

Reply to @jayapatel: haha when I was reading that I thought “I hope not!”

[jayapatel]

@alexgreene yeah, i thought to myself that would make me a superhero. 🙂



@dins_cool wishing you the best too!



@tshuenade i’ll check out your gig for sure.



Note to self: need to come back and visit my old posts so i can comment on the repliers. 🙂

What format should the video be in for upload? I cannot find anything telling me about a format? Also, Fiverr says their shouldn’t be any website address showing in you video. I have seen web site addresses in top seller videos. Why are their videos accepted?

[indiemunity]

Hi jayapatel,



Thanks for the tips, I think we really need to get a video happening ASAP for our gig. A personal introduction would really make a difference I think.



I think another tip would be to leave positive feedback for the buyer as well after they’ve left their positive feedback.



Thanks,

Jeff

PS: Any other pointers you can give for our gigs specifically?

[jayapatel]

@jcommander06

i’m not a video expert by no means. I used screen-o-matic to do a video of my screen showing my service so people have an idea of what they will get for me and it worked great.



you can check out my video, i have no idea about the format other than it is in mp4 form.

[jayapatel]

@indiemunity

i would def. add buyer feedback to the list of tips.



as far as your gig, just checked it out, i don’t see any video promotions for any of your gigs. it really would kick up your sales if you did that.

[nirmalrosa]

Wow great job!!

[work_in]

Really superb!!!, wish you all the best to become top rated saler very soon.

[work_in]

*My spelling mistake:it would be seller 🙂

[Guest techbite]

The same goes for me when i Introduced my LOGO gig i got 21 Orders in 3 days getting me to level 1 status!

[sarit11]

Good luck!

[debbie_ph]

great to hear that my dear.

[jg1969]

When you say upload a video, do you mean a video introducing your gigs or upload to youtube promoting your gigs. Oh and thanx for the great information.

Express Gig is the key. People will give a new gig a try just based on it being completed quickly. Once you build up a lot of feedback, you can then slow it down. I got to 1000 positives on my logo gig based on completing the gig in under 24 hours. And I did this before “Express” was a true option on Fiverr.

[Guest brijesh1331]

Express gigs are great tips for all sellers.
