Extra Fast not scaling up?

[rhiannonelward]

Hi there, I’m a writer and I’m getting a lot of work on here and for the most part I’m enjoying it. I added the extra fast option when I became a level one seller but I need it to scale up. I offer a $5 gig of 500 words, a $10 for 1000 etc but both of these only cost $5 to deliver quickly, is there a way to get the extra fast option to scale up? I am getting orders for a lot of work in less than half the time and I need it to be worth it. I’m happy to work fast and my customers expect to pay more than I can charge so it doesn’t make a lot of sense. Surely others have this problem? Am I missing a fix?



Any help greatly appreciated, I just want to be paid properly for pulling all-nighters to meet deadlines, I don’t want to seem greedy or anything, I already work for very little money considering the work involved.

Edit gig, click on the drop down menu for the extra fast cost, and choose a higher amount.

Thanks for the tip but I don’t want to up the price always, I want to up the price in relation to the number of words ordered. I would like to charge an extra $5 for a 500 word gig but $10 for a 1000 word gig completed extra fast. Is there a way of doing that?

Could you make more than one gig extra? $5 for 500, $100 for 1000, $15 for 1500? It isn’t an elegant solution though.

I’m offering different prices for different word counts in exactly the way you describe, but I need to tie the extra fast option in with the word count ordered. I want the extra fast option to rise incrementally with the size of the gig, so if they order 1000 words extra fast, it’ll be double the cost of 500 words in the same time frame. Any ideas how to do this? I assumed there’s be lots of more experienced Fiverr writers having the same trouble, but maybe I just need to separate the different word counts into different gigs instead?



Thanks for your help and suggestions 🙂

There’s no way to make the extra fast option to rise incrementally.

Unfortunately, what you are after is not available. I agree with your idea, however. I think it would be fantastic if we could rise the price of extra fast delivery with the word count sold. It does make sense.

I like the idea of the extra fast scaling up.



For now, the best suggestion I can make is make your ‘extra-fast’ price worth your average extra fast order. So if you frequently get 10.00 orders under extra-fast, price extra fast accordingly.



If the extra fast cost is steep for a smaller order, the buyer will sometimes contact you to negotiate. You can suggest in conversation they just buy gig extras to cover a lesser rush fee, and you personally commit to them to deliver the work in x days.

that’s a good idea, thanks Shandeenis, I might just do that 🙂
