The story of your first gig?

[vfowler]

Anyone feel like sharing their first gig story? What was the gig, how smoothly did it go, etc? I know this kind of looks like the Introduce Yourself thread, but I don’t usually see much about the first gig. I just feel like reading those first stories 🙂

My first gig is still my only gig… been around since the near beginning and although tweaked slightly along the way it’s the same gig that I first posted.



Just wish people would read the gig description like as I have had to mutually cancel well over 2000 😦

Yes, I’m hoping to be successful in one or two gigs and not have so many going at once. I figure for now I need to try several things to see which will work best for me. I originally thought I wanted to spend all my time writing blog posts and articles, but I’m not used to having to do it on command and with such a short deadline that it’s stressful!

My first gig is my current family tree gig and it is growing strong

Oh God I don’t remember the first order but it was for a gig I still offer. It was for my logo gig. I literally was nervous as hell trying to make sure that the customer liked it. After that all the orders started flowing in like crazy. So I started offering graphic design, writing, and business services.

That’s so thoughtful for you to start this topic! I was just gonna start a topic on this but then I found this thread!

My story is I was a seller on Fiverr about three years ago and I was having some good success with it. After stepping away for about three years I came back a little over a month ago and put up my gig again thinking the sales would come in, but they didn’t! A month went by and nothing came. Then I started reading about what other successful sellers do. I took their tips to hear and started to employ them and within a week of doing what they said I had my first gig after 3 years! Woohoo!! They even gave me a 5 star review and said that I was, I believe they said, “SO FAST” which is awesome. Super happy with the result!
