Help me get my first sale please

[hibaissa]

I started with 1 gig a month and a half ago and created two more (one as recent as yesterday). My impressions are growing as I have learned to modify the tags but I still haven't received sales. How can I be more niche or find a niche that has high demand with low competition. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

There are 2 spelling mistakes in a short sentence of only 9 words while the seller claims to be "fluent" in English.

I'm not sure what you're referring to. Where are the spelling mistakes?

@helali009 Thank you but I already reviewed that stuff, was looking for more specific feedback (hence why I shared my gigs).

[hibaissa]

@filipdevaere would you mind pointing out the spelling error?

They are so obvious to that you having to ask makes his point perfectly, absolutely and completely. Why not just do two simple things, Use spell check, and be honest about your level of fluency?

@filipdevaere phew! I was so confused, thanks for clarifying. It did force me to review my gigs and make minor grammar improvements so thank you I guess! 😄 

Please feel free to share if you have any feedback for me.

Start broad and narrow down.

Example: start your search with a broad term like "Canva" (I'm taking this as an example since that's the first thing I saw in your screenshot).

There are over 12k results, and that's what you want. More the better at this stage.

 

 

What you need to do now is go through a couple of pages (at least the first 10 or so if you have the time for it) and start writing down sub-niches within the "Canva" that you can do.

I went through the first page and this is what I found:
 

• Design & Edit Canva Project
• Design Canva Templates
• Design Social Media Posts in Canva
• Recreate Graphics in Canva
• Design Lead Magnet in Canva
• Design E-book Cover in Canva

 

You get the idea....

Extract these sub-niches from your broad term "Canva" and search them in a separate tab/window to evaluate their profitability (for lack of a better term).

Typically how I would look for keywords with about 1000 - 2000 ish results (the lower the better). And you got to make sure that the search results actually contain gigs with your target keyword, and that they have sales.

Hope that makes sense. Good luck!
