Hello Sajjad, I just checked your profile and I've a few suggestions for you. You look like an experienced guy in Word Development. But you need to make sure that your profile is 100% professional when someone clicks on it to see it.

  1. Change your profile pic, It's not professional looking because the background is VERY BUSY, so you've to work on that, Don't do anything fancy, take your smartphone's front camera and get a selfie in front of a wall or any static background.
  2. You've opened 7 gigs which is a good thing but I'd recommend, having 4 gigs and first work on those 4 then you can take it from there.
  3. Try opening a specialized and specified gig, e.g., I'm a designer, recently I opened Real Estate Logos, in logo design gig, as the "KEYWORD" Real Estate is a highly demanding keywork. Do some research and do something similar with your gigs, you can make a specific blog gig, like you'll make a blog about food or something specific.
  4. Make your gig thumbnails more professional, eye-catching, and good-looking, 1 gig image per gig is enough for you as you're not in the design niche.
  5. Keep patience as freelancing can be a pain sometimes but if you're committed to it, you'll get your reward, BTW I got my first order after 8 months.
  6. Have self-belief and confidence that you can do it.

Once you've done this, do some marketing off the platform, on social media sites, if you can get a client like that, trying bringing them on the Fiverr even if you've to give an incentive.

Actually, Nowadays almost 90% of freelancers are struggling on Fiverr. Most people know how to research keywords, how to write the description, how to make an eye-catching thumbnail, etc. They know but even then they don't do anything. On Fiverr, there are no secret terms to sell your gig Again, Fiverr has many secrets to rank gigs.

Now have a look:

It’s all about the title, description, and keywords of your gig. These are the most important factors that affect your ranking on Fiverr. If you optimize them well, you can get more exposure and more sales.

Here are some tips that I learned from online sources and applied to my own gig:

Start your title with a catchy phrase that describes your service and includes your main keyword. Just for an example, mine is “I will optimize your fiverr gig SEO description for high search ranking”.
Use relevant keywords in your title, but don’t overdo it. Don’t use more than three keywords or phrases in your title. For example, don’t write something like “I will optimize your Fiverr gig description, Fiverr gig, Fiverr gig optimized for SEO”. That’s too long and spammy.
Write a clear and concise description that explains what you offer, why you are qualified, what benefits your clients get, and what makes you different from others. Use bullet points, bold text, and highlight features to make it easy to read.
Include your main keyword in the first 50 words of your description. Also, use other related keywords throughout your description, but don’t stuff them or repeat them too much.
End your description with a call to action that invites your clients to order from you or contact you for more information.
As for the keywords, I used Fiverr’s search bar to find out what people are searching for related to my service. Then I selected the most relevant and less competitive ones and added them to my gig. Also, make sure to have an attractive image for your gig so that when someone finds your gig, it grabs their attention and they don't just scroll away.

Follow the instructions and keep active on Fiverr. Success may come soon.

WRONG! Staying active or being online does not help you at all. This myth is spread by sellers who lack knowledge about how Fiverr works.

USELESS. Fiverr is not Google.
