Am I on the Right Track?

[nibras_writer]

Hey there, creative minds! I’d love to share something I’ve been thinking about lately

For a long time, I kept my Fiverr gig prices higher than others. Some clients saw the value, but I wasn’t getting many orders.

I kept tweaking my gigs, descriptions, profile, and portfolio. I even tried Fiverr ads, paid for SEO, and more, but I feel there’s still room for improvement.

Recently, I dropped my prices because it feels like everyone else in my niche charges low rates. A few days later, I got two orders in a week—which rarely happens! Before that, with higher prices, I barely got any orders. Now I’m wondering—was pricing really the issue, or is there something I’ve overlooked?

Sometimes, no matter how much effort you put in, the solution isn’t clear. That’s when a fresh perspective or good advice helps. I’m considering adding new gigs, offering unique value, studying competitors, and more—but I’d love to hear your thoughts too.

What’s worked for you? Am I missing anything? I’d really love to know!

It's possible, but only time will tell.

Fiverr only makes money when Sellers sell, and usually likes the higher price points, but a lot depends on demand. Honestly, lowering your price isn't ideal. Read point 2 of the following, for some really good advice (aka. mention it's temporary!)

Some buyers prioritize receiving exceptional service at an affordable price, while others are willing to pay a premium for top-tier service, no matter the cost. It's important to define which group of buyers aligns with your offering. Once you've identified your target audience, you can adjust your pricing strategy to meet their expectations and needs.

I agree with what @imagination7413 says. Fiverr prefers higher prices. This is also the reason why they are now focusing on the PRO sellers.

Of course, you can't set your prices too high, otherwise you will hardly sell anything. Maybe your prices were just a little too high.

Thanks for what you shared! I went through the whole post along with the comments, and point 2 seems like good advice. Honestly, I’m still trying to figure out the best way to make my profile and gigs more appealing to clients, but I’m ready to put in the effort to get there, whatever it takes.

In fact, I’m looking for clients who are willing to pay for quality and appreciate working with someone reliable, but it’s not easy to attract them consistently. I’m always trying to improve my marketing approach, but I feel like there are still areas I need to work on that I might not even be aware of yet.

Sometimes I wonder if such clients even exist in my field or if they regularly look for the kind of services I offer.

I see your point, and it makes sense that Fiverr prefers higher prices. I guess the trick is finding that sweet spot—pricing high enough to show value but not so high that it scares buyers away. Maybe I need to experiment a bit more to figure out what works best for me.

If you have any doubts, it's worth conducting a bit more research on the gig. Consider factors such as the total number of gigs related to the service you offer. Are Top-Rated Seller having order on the queue?

or have they recently completed their latest tasks?

If you assess these factors carefully, you'll gain insight into the level of demand for your services.

In my opinion, it’s not ideal to select a gig that faces heavy competition, nor is it wise to choose one with an extremely low comparison rate,
