Video, in most cases. But only if you make sure it's a good and professional video that engages the buyer and encourages sales.

This is actually quite an interesting topic that I was discussing with my success manager the other day.

Fiverr are apparently doing some data diving right now to work out how much it helps with converstions by category.

I think for certain catgories like video editing it's probably very important. And like you say it needs to be professional.

One thing that's put me off adding a video is that for promoted gigs, a click of the video thumbnail counts as a click, and I want people to actually to come through to the gig and read it. Maybe that's wishful thinking though 😂

Gig video is always recommended by Fiverr. But i saw a lot of top rated seller use only image for their gig.

When it comes to attract more and more Buyers, there is none other than a VIDEO where you will have to shoot your own face that talking about services you gonna provide. A good or eye-catching video can generate more sales than GIG Image as jpeg.

I believe fiverr used to say that a gig video was 30% or 40% more likely to get clicked, so I've always gone for a video for my main gig at least. It does make sense, in my opinion - you can convey much, much more information in a 60 second video than you can in a still image. It conveys your work, yourself a little bit, your level of professionalism, and getting a glimpse into your personality can help people to trust you.

I think a great gig video can be a huge asset and help you to stand out too.
