How Can I Get My First Order? My Gig is Fully Optimized

[mdmasud58]

Hello everyone,

I’ve recently created my gig, and I’ve made sure it’s fully optimized with a professional description, relevant tags, an eye-catching title, and high-quality images. However, I’m still struggling to get my first order.

What strategies or tips worked for you when you were just starting out? Any advice on promoting my gig, pricing, or using Buyer Requests?

I’d really appreciate your insights and experiences!

Thank you in advance.

Its clear that whatever people outside of Fiverr have taught you - it is NOT working. Because they teach the same things to everyone and everyone creates almost identical gigs with same pony tricks!! 

Did you learn these things from a YouTuber or from someone who mentored you??

Your gig thumbnail image is cut off. 😬
Saying, "Please Order," looks like begging and will put potential buyers off.

In your country, it may be acceptable to call others "Dear," but this is not the case in most of the world. Most people only want to be called "Dear" by their loved ones, not a Fiverr Seller. It is unprofessional to call your prospective clients "Dear". 

Plus, your profile description is boring to read. It is a long list of services you offer, followed by your statement that you are available to work. Buyers want to know what you will do to improve their lives, i.e., what you will do for them.

Fluent English is also wrong.
Apparently it is not possible for the seller to notice a simple text error in an image. And of course no spell checker works on an image.

Thank you so much and I can try to improve my description.
