How long does it take to receive the 1st order?

Hi dear sellers!!!

Fiverr is a great website and I am sure I will be able to grow in this community 🙂

I have created my gigs with good title, description and video etc. still not getting any orders.

Should I just wait or is there anything I should do like any way to reach out to new buyers and showcase my gigs?

Thanks!

It can take a while to get that first order - for some it's only a couple of weeks and for others it takes several months.

However, "waiting" is the worst thing you can do.

There's a lot that you can do during this down time. Using the forum and Help Center to optimize your business is a great way to spend your time:
