Not Getting Impressions and Clicks Despite Creating Attractive Gigs and Being Active

[a1_cad]

Hi everyone,

I'm a new seller on Fiverr, and I'm facing some challenges with my gigs. Despite putting in a lot of effort to create attractive and well-described gigs, I'm not getting many impressions or clicks. I've made sure to:

• Create eye-catching gig thumbnails and detailed descriptions.
• Stay online as much as possible to increase visibility.
• Respond promptly to all messages, even though most of them seem to be scams.

Here's what I've done so far:

1. Optimized My Gigs: I used relevant keywords and detailed descriptions.
2. Active Presence: I try to be online frequently to catch potential buyers.
3. Responsive: I reply quickly to messages, although many have been spam.

Despite all this, my gigs are still not getting the visibility I hoped for. Could anyone share some insights or tips on what else I can do to improve my gig impressions and attract genuine buyers? Is there something specific I might be missing?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi everyone, I'm new to Fiverr and would like to clarify if it's permissible to attach my company portfolio in my profile and when sending proposals to clients. I aim to showcase my work effectively, but my portfolio contains my contact details, and I want to ensure compliance with Fiverr's rules. Your insights would be greatly appreciated!❤️

Hi there! I would suggest editing your existing portfolio so that it does not include your contact details. If not, it would be against our Terms of Service.

I recommend optimizing the related keywords for each gig.

Do Unreviewed Orders Affect Gig Order Count Visibility?

Hi everyone, 

I've completed 5 orders for one of my gigs, but these orders aren't showing up on my gig. The clients haven’t left reviews yet, and most of them are new to Fiverr and might not be aware of the review process.

Does the lack of reviews affect whether completed orders are counted in the gig’s order visibility? Any insights on this would be helpful!

Thank you!

Do I Need to Update My Gig Weekly for Better Impressions?

Is it necessary to update my gig every weekend to increase impressions? After updating my gig gallery, I noticed a drop in impressions. What strategies do you recommend to regain traction? How often should I update gig images or other elements to maintain consistent visibility?

Best Non-Skill Gigs for Quick Sales and Extra Income?

Hi everyone! I'm currently offering specialized services, but I'm curious about exploring non-skill-based gigs to increase my sales quickly and boost my earnings. In your experience, what type of non-skill work tends to sell well and generate a steady income on Fiverr? Any tips or recommendations for setting up a successful gig in this area would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Non-skill-based gigs come with several disadvantages. The 2 main disadvantages are:
a) There is an oversupply of sellers offering similar services, making it harder to stand out and secure an order.
b) Freelancers may earn significantly less compared to skill-based services.

Why would someone pay for a service which does NOT require any skill?? Wherever you stay in the world - just look around at people who work for minimum wages, even they possess sellable skills!! 

I responded to you yesterday where you were expecting encouraging responses from us but then again you are ALSO seeking tips for quick sales and fast success!! 🤦‍♂️

Thank you all for your feedback; I genuinely appreciate your insights. I understand that non-skill-based gigs might not be the best long-term strategy, but I was just curious if any opportunities could complement my existing skill-based services to maintain a steady income flow during slower periods. However, I realize that focusing on my specialized skills in CAD, SketchUp, and Revit will yield better results in the long run. I'll keep working on enhancing my current gigs and look for ways to improve my offerings. Thanks again for the guidance!

Reading this here I have to conclude that you are under the impression that you are going to get a lot of orders. I fear that you are going to be disappointed.

Haha, I guess the reality check is real! Just trying to keep my expectations in check while I figure things out. Thanks for the heads up!

How to Encourage Order Creation Before Starting Work?

Hi everyone,

As a new seller on Fiverr, I often receive requests from clients asking me to complete their work without creating an order first. I understand that they want to see the quality of my work, but I'm hesitant to push them too hard for fear they might leave without placing an order.

What’s the best way to handle these situations? I want to express that I can only start working once an order is created, but I also want to maintain a good rapport with potential clients. Any tips on how to communicate this effectively would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

[priyank_mod]

Professional buyers will NEVER ask you to create/deliver work before placing the order. Its usually the modus operandi of scamming buyers who want to get away with free work. 

You can always tell them that, "you're excited to start and deliver the work they need. You're looking forward to completing the 'order placement formalities', so that you can start the work."

Yes, exactly! Also, professionals will have good spelling, grammar and language skills and their profiles will be filled out complete with a profile picture. They will also understand the rules that asking for a seller's email address for any reason is against Fiverr's rules.

Thank you for the advice. I completely understand that professional buyers should follow the order process. However, since most of my inquiries come from new buyers who might not be familiar with Fiverr’s procedures, I try my best to guide them. I believe every client is important, and I want to provide a unique experience for them. My goal is to ensure they understand the process while also protecting myself as a seller.

I’ll definitely use your suggestion to encourage them to place an order before starting the work, and I appreciate your insights!

Thank you for pointing that out. It’s true that professional buyers usually have complete profiles and a good understanding of Fiverr's rules. However, since I often receive messages from new buyers who might not be fully aware of how the platform works, I want to be patient and help guide them through the process. I believe some new clients are genuine but just need a bit of assistance to understand how things work here. Your insights are valuable, and I'll keep them in mind as I continue to navigate these interactions.

Breaking the Price Barrier: Elevating the Value of Our Services

Why do so many sellers still believe that lowering their prices will attract more buyers? It's time to talk about the real value of quality work! 

[priyank_mod]

Don't bother about them. Honestly, just believe that they don't exist in the marketplace. 

If left to them, they will even deliver the work for FREE (which many of them often keep asking about on the forum) - primarily because they don't have professional education or experience.

They have never worked hard to earn their skills, interpersonal communication, professional attitude and real-world work experience. 

When one has NOT INVESTED in themselves, even $1 for any job work is phenomenal!!

A lot of people with low prices are not delivering quality work. 

Also, there's market demand and other things, competition, many factors that encourage people to retain lower prices. But you are free to ask whatever you think is fair for your service. Customers will choose accordingly.

Thanks for your insight! You're right—investing in our skills is crucial. We need to keep advocating for the value of quality work!

No no, we don't need to. 

There is a market for everyone at every price point, everywhere on the planet. On amazon, cheapest products in every segment have highest number of reviews. We just need to stick to OUR LANE.

Like @donnovan86 said, ask for what you believe is a fair price for your service, that's all. And don't be afraid to say NO!!
