New on Fiverr - Any constructive criticism

[violetacampos2]

Hi Fiverr community! 
I'm back on the platform after years of full time consulting and venture building, and hoping my services will take off. I've been freelancing for 8 years, but coming back to Fiverr i'm a bit lost and i'm sure my gigs could be improved.

If there's a kind soul that could provide constructive criticism, i'd be much appreciated 🙂

Thank you !

I saw your gigs. They would look more professional if you add videos and portfolios. 

Thank you

Having videos is not necessary to be successful. I do not use video so far.

I have to note that your videos do not contribute to your account. After 14 months, you still have not received a single review (order).

Indeed, 40% of 0 = 0 --> In your case zero reviews/orders.

Sir, can you please tell us why Fiberr is asking us to upload videos since you think it is unnecessary.

I will highly encourage you to focus on your own gigs so that you can get orders. You won't get any order from here!

Fiverr knows that many sellers can't make videos. They know that a percentage of those buyers will hire another seller to make the video. It's pure business.
Fiverr just wants to make money (which I understand). Tell me how they get to that 40%?

Here's a few suggestions on the gigs:

Gig: I will deliver a tailored business plan
In the gig description:
Maybe change "youre", "Ive", "your companys full", "What Youll Get:" and "your competitors strengths" (punctuation).
Also you could change "Who Its For:" (punctuation).

The gig description ends with "I deliver reports that are not". It seems like something has been truncated. Maybe it's an issue with Fiverr's gig editing thing (it might do that if it goes over about 1200 chars) but that bit could be edited.

If you look at how your gigs show on your profile, some of the text on the main gig images gets cut off. eg. "I will conduct in depth market research" gig shows "arket research" in the smaller gig main gig image (even though you've entered it fully in the actual gig image, it's getting cropped, likely because the aspect ratio isn't what Fiverr recommends. You could check the help for gig images (based on the current gig image guideline's max recommend image size, the best aspect ratio to not make it crop might be about 1.655:1).

This is the gig image guideline page that has recommended gig image sizes (that you could work the aspect ratio out from):

https://help.fiverr.com/hc/en-us/articles/15863342952977-Gig-Images-General-Gig-image-guidelines

All 3 gigs of yours have 5 stars in the gig images. I think Fiverr used to say you couldn't put your star ratings in. In the current page (in the link above) they say:

Quote

Don’t use Fiverr logos or badges- Fiverr automatically includes badges for you, so there is no need to add additional Fiverr logos, rating, seller level, or any other badges to your Gigs—this will flag your Gig and will be removed. 

by putting 5 stars in each gig image Fiverr might see that as trying to put your rating in the image and might remove the gigs that have that.

Though when Fiverr first mentioned the 40% "increase in engagement" it can give in the section in the gig edit page, didn't it not have the section saying "Need help with your video? Check out our..." section? I thought when they first talked about it the just said about the 40% increase in engagement (or up to that). So when they initially wrote that they might not have been trying to get sellers to buyer the video creation from other sellers (as much?) like they're doing now.

Though that stat isn't as meaningful now (as well as it's not being specific enough, and I think they slightly reworded it), since they first showed it when categories like the video & animation category didn't force people to have a gig video I think (even though it will likely help there). But it's probably less helpful in gigs that aren't related to video.

That was indeed what it said. It was another new thing they introduced that could bring in extra profit for Fiverr. Not huge profits, but every little bit helps.

I'm not going to say that a video can't help, but I don't believe in that 40%.

Thank you ! Definitely not bored while I wait for my first client 😂 Been browsing a lot of these pages and looks like we're all on the same boat when we start on Fiverr. Different to other platforms I'm used to, where it's a more "proactive" approach (bidding for projects etc), so hoping once i get the ball rolling it'll pay off !
