How to get my first gig?

[kp_solutions_88]

Hello! I've been on Fivver for about a week now but not yet got my first gig. I have a lot of enquiries which are asking me to contact them by Telegram (is it normal to get a lot of these messages? I don't contact them!).

Is there any hints and tips to get your first gig?

 

Thanks!

Welcome!

There is no magic tricks... I would suggest to use keywords and tags specific to your field in your Gig. Pick an specific niche and cater to those customers, as you would have less competition and more chances to be noticed. An a attractive gig image and competitive prices go a long way too. Don't forget to check what the competition is doing in your field, just to see what you can offer to set you apart from them. Lastly, Fiverr matches your Gig with potential buyers according to their needs, so besides from everything I mentioned there's nothing much to do to get a gig, the rest depends on the algorithm.

In another set of ideas, NEVER accept payments nor contact people outside Fiverr and report the people who ask you to do that. It's against the Terms of Service, you could get banned or scammed.

Avoid these people. They are scammers. You can report them.
