How many impressions and clicks is good for writers and typists starting out?

[katiecontentseo]

I've got 6 gigs as a writer and typist and have only been here 5 days. I have 400 impressions and a few clicks but no orders. Is that good or bad or normal a week in?

Hi @katiecontentseo,

What you have is just one data point, you'll have to monitor your numbers over time to see how your gig performs.

What you really want (more than impressions and clicks) are the orders. So your main goal is to convert the clicks to orders. If people are clicking on your gig, that means there's interest in your services. If they leave without ordering, that means you didn't convince them to buy.

When is a good time point for reflection? Obviously, the longer the better - I've literally only been here 6 days, and I've got 628 impressions and 18 clicks, but no orders yet. (one has asked for a custom order, but we'll see..). How often do you guys review gig performance?
