Kudos to Me (Almost)

So, after a long year on Fiverr and hardly getting any sales, I've reached the point where I am about to get Level One status (yes, it took a full year). As you can see, I just have one more project to finish (and I have one in progress now due Friday). Hopefully level one status helps to push more people to buy (I know when I look for sellers, I pay attention to their level).

Hard work and persistence do pay off, good on you!

I glanced over your gigs and I have a few suggestions.

You are using low-quality images for your gigs, which is not ideal. Some of the images are also not optimized for a gig photo format and appear stretched. There seems to be a lot of focus on meaningless statements such as "100% Satisfaction Guaranteed", "starting at $10", "24 hours delivery" and so on. All of this information a client can find themselves and there's no need to clutter your gigs with it. In my opinion, it looks cheap and there are a lot better ways to use the valuable space on your gigs. There's also barely any examples of your portfolio and you're only using one photo for your gigs instead of three.

The services you provide probably justify the price, but gigs themselves do not. I would suggest hiring an experienced designer to design your gig photos to look more appealing and informative.

@gajuseidi I appreciate the feedback. I have been trying to figure out how to make my gigs stand out. I'm a better web developer than a content writer (or gigs description writer) and I'm not great at image creation. I did hire someone on Fiverr for one of my photos, but it was designed for my website, not Fiverr. I will use your feedback in trying to make my gig better. I appreciate it. As you can see, I have 5 stars out of 9 orders (8 reviewed). I consider my services to be pretty good. Some users have left phenomenal ratings. Even jobs I've acquired outside of Fiverr have reviewed my Google listing well.

@gajuseidi I edited my gig, added some photos, a video, and a PDF. I will later consider hiring someone to help with images. Tell me what you think! The video is under review, so you probably won't see that yet.
