0 amolgigs Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 The result of any paid campaign depends on your conversion rate. When Fiverr offered free $10 credit, I decided to give it a try, It worked for me 😀 19 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 charlsmcfarlane Posted June 28, 2023 Author Share Posted June 28, 2023 Interesting. Thanks for the reply. I had no luck with the $10 tester but was still making sales. Just none from that feature. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 donnovan86 Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 It depends on the spending rate, competition within your niche and many other factors. Generally I end up getting some work here and there. If I do, it translates into repeat work most of the time, and Fiverr also counts that repeat work as promoted gigs income, which isn't really the case. I guess the buyer came from there... It's a good option to have, but I don't think it's a gamechanger. Although your mileage will vary, I had a month where I earned over 1000% what I paid, this month I think I paid more for ads than I earned, so there's that. Overall I think it's fine, but certainly not something you can rely on for work all the time. But as I said, your mileage will vary. 19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were lucky, most people won't even receive an order from that free credit. Others will receive a bunch of orders. It depends on the niche, competition and many other factors. I will say this, it's worth trying, but you can't rely on it for orders. Yet even if it gives you a single order per month and it's more than what you paid for ads, it's a plus right? 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 proconsultn2035 Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Our niche, Financial Consulting, has been exempted from the Promoted Gig feature. But I once had it before the exemption. It was good business as I made great ROI. 15 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is what it is, at least I don't spend a whole lot on ads, and these types of months are very rare for me. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jacobmarx297 Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 When I promote gigs it is very lucrative. Spending roughly $100 will earn me about $1500 in revenue. The real benefit I get from it is the recurring business. Once I sign a client I have about a 50% retention rate for multiple orders and repeat work. The trick for me is actually having Fiverr move my gigs to active in promotion. They constantly turn them off for "Quality Issues" (There are none) and I have to wait days, weeks or months for them to turn on. Once they are on though I will spend about $15 a day until they turn them off again. Which at that point brings in a plethora of new customers that turn into repeat clients and leaves me wondering why Fiverr doesn't want to promote my gigs even more to bring in more money to the platform lol 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
