How many days it took for your first order?

[aliam_rezaie]

it's been a while since I started my job on Fiverr, almost 7 a week. since then I have never had a single order. I'd like to know how many days it took for you to get your first order.

In fact, it is not possible to say precisely.

sure it's not possible. I was asking for your own experience.
anyway, do you have any suggestions on how to get the first order?

It took me a few weeks, but at the time of creating my gig I was only in competition with 100 other sellers offering the same/similar service. To put it in perspective, there are over 100,000 sellers offering the same or similar service as your logo design gig. There are several Level 2 and Top Rated Sellers in your category with thousands of 5 star reviews and only slightly more expensive than your gig, I honestly don't know how you would compete with that.

Some categories have become flooded with sellers hoping to strike it rich with somehow 10 years experience but nothing to show for it, questionable claims to their level of fluency in English, and low effort gigs because someone on a video advised "create this gig to easily make money on Fiverr". Unfortunately this has drowned out the genuinely good and highly skilled new sellers. The positive thing to take from that is if you have a well written gig description and a few items in your portfolio as evidence of your experience you'll already be ahead of thousands of those gigs.

It takes different time.

Nice explanation thanks to you, now I get why it’s too hard for me to get an order on fiverr. I have to find some gigs where they’re not flooded with sellers.

There are some things that I don't get. I have tried to optimize my gig in everyway possible and even changed the thumbnail and stuff. I have been on Fiverr for a month now and I feel like the only reason I haven't got my first order is that people don't know me yet plus I am in a competition with approximately 40000 people on my gig. Got any suggestions?

There are no specific days for first orders. Be patient.

This is the value of niching down. To give you an example, I have gigs in very general categories (English-French translation or proofreading, for example) that have never had any orders. On the other hand, my gig in Notion templates is in a much smaller niche (less than 650 sellers have "notion template" in their title and description) and has gotten all my orders.

Difficult to saying ...Its depends on our gig service supply and demand

Hey there! I started my Fiverr journey back in 2014 when things were not as busy. Surprisingly, I got my first order on the very first day, and things kept rolling with about 15 orders coming in daily. Since those early days in 2014-2015, I've been lucky to have some awesome regular clients. 😊

Thanks for the suggestion!
