New Kid on the Block

[patrickhorgan]

Hi all,

I’m new in this neck of the woods. I’ve started my first gig here : https://www.fiverr.com/s/6tai21

Just wondering if any of you guys had any tips on the content/write up?

cheers 😃

I suggest to show two more photos examples to show to potential buyers what you’ll offer.

Welcome to Fiverr, Patrick. First off and I can’t repeat this enough, add a video to your gig. Even if it’s just a collage of the images you can create. It helps and Fiverr loves it when you are on the video too. Buyers like to see who they’re working with.

Then be a bot more descriptive about what you are offering. Suggest way a buyer can use the image, etc. The more info the better. Once you’ve reached Level 1 seller, you can add gig extras. So give some thought to that.



Good luck.

Welcome Patrick!



I agree with irishguy1above.



I’ve read your bio and now I’m curious, what makes Big Trouble in Little China the greatest movie ever made 🙂

Hi Patrick - very nice backgrounds!



Your gig is cool - your description not so much. Give potential buyers some examples of what they can use your images for. Think like a buyer! Very few people come to Fiverr looking for “abstract images”, but they do come for “marketing” & “advertising” (the bulk of the sales here are to people looking to ‘get rich as cheaply as possible’, not to enjoy art). 😉 You might even consider adding another gig where you place some text over your images and tada!, you’ve created an “attention-grabbing ad that makes you stand out from your competitors!” Yes, it’s salestastic, but that’s what this place is about.



I’m not soliciting you, but I do offer a gig description writing gig that you may want to check out. And if you’re concerned that my process is a little too focused on sales instead of substance, my ‘day job’ is executive director of an arts organization. I’m quite good at balancing SEO with creativity. 🙂



Welcome to Fiverr & best of luck!

Patrick, you may want to contact Customer Support before putting the link on your profile. They should let you, but better be safe than sorry.

Might I also suggest looking into some watermarks for your sample backgrounds. Wouldn’t want someone stealing your work 🙂



Also make sure you utilize the “Buyer Requests” page. I didn’t realize it existed until about after a month of using Fiverr and I’ve regretted not finding it sooner, ever since!



Good luck! 🙂
