What else must I do and how long will it really take ???

[ashleybrian_r]

Hi,

I am a new seller joined on October 2024, its been a month and I have seen a lot of youtube videos on how to optimize our gigs to rank on the first page. I think its a myth to rank our gig on the first page when we are a new seller while there are a lot of experienced and top rated sellers for every gig. I have tried my level best to optimize my gigs with SEO. I have 4 active gigs currently and have optimized each one of em with seo from the title to keywords to description. I also used the low ranking gig keywords on my gigs so that I can get more impressions and clicks, and also is it true that a seller gets order when they have a lot of impression and clicks on a specified gig? I have attached my profile link and can you please help me know whether my profile and gigs are properly SEO optimized? or do i have to make changes? I have a lot of experience with the gigs that I offer but I'm new to freelancing, please help a brother out. Any  help would mean a lot.

And also how long does it take to get our first order as a new seller? or should we just lose hope, after seeing a lot of competition on every single gig? As i read that fiverr focuses on making money so they rank the sellers who most effeciently can make money for them, so fiverr gives very less importance to the new sellers, rather they know experienced sellers can make them more money then the new sellers, leaving them to dry and the new seller staying in hope to get orders. 🤐😔

Thankyou~

If you play around with searching for various things on Fiverr, you will see new sellers with brand new gigs on the first page of results--which are not the same from user to user, by the way. The system attempts to customize search results.

We'd have to do your market and competition research, which probably won't happen, in order to know if you've optimized a gig properly. Plus, you didn't provide a link that enables us to see it. If what you offer is attractive to potential clients then impressions result in clicks and orders.

YouTube gurus aren't there for you; they're there for clicks/views. So, yes, many myths are sourced from them.

Thankyou for the kind replies, it did really help me.

You must be honest in your profile and what you write in your gigs. Most buyers are not stupid. As soon as they see something they doubt or see something that is not right, they will choose another seller. They have a lot of choice on Fiverr, especially in the services that you offer. There is much competition.

You have not completed these studies. It may well be that you quit that study after a few months.

Maybe change some of the gig descriptions/profile description.

eg. you have a gig for proofreading and rewriting and in the description of that gig you write "Thankyou", "Heres" and in all 3 packages you write "upto".

You also write Thankyou in a few other gigs and the profile. Isn't that 2 words? And "upto" 2 words?

In your gig "I will be your virtual assistant for data entry, copy paste, web reasearch and typing"

there seems to be a spelling mistake in the title.

You're offering to do research and typing though your gig description says "Thankyou", " Im a", "dont", "Heres". It seems like there's missing punctuation in the last 3 of those.

Also links with "?up_rollout=true" at the end don't work for other people to view your profile.

So many spelling mistakes and yet "fluent" in English.
I already saw that "fluent in English" was the 2nd untruth in that Fiverr profile.

Don't lie on your profile! 

[filipdevaere]

@ashleybrian_r You're lying on your profile again. You didn't graduate in 2023. I won't help you anymore. I'd rather spend my time with honest sellers.

@imshibly Thanks for mentioning this.

We see this a lot. Are there specific YouTube gurus who tell people to do it?

[ashleybrian_r]

I am currently persuing my bachelors rn in 2024 and well you guys corrected me on that saying it's wrong to put the bachelor's status until I'm really graduated and I accepted it as there's still 3 more years until I graduate. My bachelors is for 4 years. Well I'm a highschool passout, and you have to be a highschool passout to be a persuing bachelor's. I completed my highschool journey in 2023 and +4 years is 2027. IDK what the fuss is all about. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Am I not supposed to put that I'm graduated until i get my bachelor's or smtg?

My advice: if I were you, I would consider removing these points from all your gigs

Listing things like "24/7 availability", "unlimited revisions" and "100% client satisfaction" does not make you look like a serious seller. Are you genuinely available 24/7? Will you really offer endless revisions to clients who might keep asking for more? And as for guaranteeing 100% satisfaction, I would remove this too. If you really want to include it as a personal touch, you will need verified reviews that reflect 100% satisfaction first of all — otherwise, it is just empty promises

One more thing - it looks like you have used ChatGPT to write your gig descriptions. I can spot this because when I started, I did the same! I quickly realized many other sellers had a similar structure and were doing the exact same thing. There is nothing wrong with using ChatGPT for refining your text, but try to give it something uniquely yours to work with. Be authentic, give your gig descriptions a personal touch. As other freelancers mentioned here, buyers are smart enough, they notice these details and may move on to the next seller if they sense reasons not to trust you

Best of luck in your freelancing journey!

It is not a mistake. It happens regularly. This is simply building a Fiverr profile with false information with the sole purpose of luring innocent buyers. Sellers like this post certificates/testimonials/studies that have not yet been obtained to make themselves seem smarter. This seller here admits that he is still studying and then shamelessly changed the date so that it seems that he has already completed the studies. This is pure deception.

Yes you are right. I agree with you

[ashleybrian_r]

Guys, once again, I'm really sorry for the inconvenience, but I never lied on my profile—not about my certificate or education. I am new to Fiverr, and I didn’t know what to add for my education. As I am currently pursuing my bachelor's, I chose "Bachelor's" as the option. Fiverr gave me the year 2027 to choose in the dropdown list, so I picked it because that is the year I am expected to graduate.

@filipdevaere, I understand that you feel it’s dishonest to misrepresent information on a profile, but I didn’t lie; I just didn’t know I wasn't supposed to add those details until I graduated. You corrected me on that, and I thanked you for it. I updated my education details to show my high school degree, and I graduated high school in 2023. Why do you think I’m lying? I’m a beginner, and I didn’t know. Instead of just correcting me, why are you accusing me of making false statements? Please cut me some slack.

Also, I am not planning to quit my bachelor's studies, in case you were assuming that. Regarding my English proficiency, I completed an English course from Udemy and several other courses as well. Earning certificates is the reason I started freelancing, as they help me prove my expertise in the services I offer. Please don’t fault me for that. I know you were trying to help, but you were too harsh for no reason. You can now see my English has improved, as I learn from my mistakes.

@agonza1101, thank you so much for pointing it out. This is the kind of feedback I was hoping for when I asked for help. I will make the changes as quickly as possible.

Any further suggestions from your side would be helpful. Thank you! ♥️

[dereck_s]

Honestly with the new system they implemented this year you might not ever get an order (I don't say this to be mean). Put yourself in the buyer's shoes. If you were a buyer would you choose you over the thousands of other sellers that have been on the platform for years and have been vetted by fiverr and have 5 star reviews?

If you can't find a way to stand out and offer something no one is (which is also something a buyer is looking for) than sadly Fiverr likely isn't the platform for you. We're already over saturated.

[ashleybrian_r]

Thank you for the suggestion @dereck_s. The thing is idk what I'm supposed to really offer, well I'm not allowed to lie, so can you tell me what am supposed to really do to stand out from others?

Precisely, may be you're too young to have sellable skills. I understand you might need to earn money but there are no low-hanging fruits on Fiverr.

Alot of people arrive here thinking that basic logo design, content writing, social media management or data entry gigs will make them quick and easy money but in 2024, its almost impossible!!

Thank you so much! I completely agree. it’s definitely not as easy as it seems. I’ll do my best to offer the best service I can to the buyers who purchase my services.

Warm regards,
