landongrace Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Chances are if you are started a new gig category there won’t be traffic. Not always the case, but 99.999% of the time it is the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kay2809 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 There will be very less buyers for such service. Do you offer other modelling or designs ?Product designs ? I don’t know what they are called.You have to offer great unique services to stand out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fonthaunt Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I may be different but here’s my take on it. When I have a crazy idea for a unique gig I do put some effort into it. I still craft it to fit well enough in a current category but I make sure the keywords are strong as well. Then I post it and share it on social media and wait. Most of the time my unique ones get few if any sales and later I delete them. I’ve had one take off enough to get ranked high on Recommended which ended up bringing more traffic to my main gig. I say put your ideas out for a test run but don’t get discouraged if they flop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ispire_videos Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Asiscreations,One suggestion I will offer is to structure your gig towards people looking for designs for their inventions. often times people have an idea but find it hard to put their idea into a design or model. I will pay for such a gig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asiscreations Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Reply to @ispire_videos: if i am going to design a shoe for someone,that article for sure will be designed on the brief from the customer or the idea of a customer.is that what you saying?

ispire_videos Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Yes.It is like with any design. it has to be the customers idea and not your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philtabest Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Personally, I would start on something smaller. I do instruction manuals, which can take quite a while to write and am currently trying to decide on something else to offer in order to get my ratings/ level up. Just think to yourself, are you really going to want to offer unique shoe designs at $45 a pop?I’m not in any way saying don’t offer that, if you enjoy it and the above doesn’t bother you, then go for it! 🙂 The best category for this would probably be Graphics & design> Other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asiscreations Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Reply to @philtabest: i understand what ur saying but you know that feeling when there is a single order for you out there so atlast i thought to do something unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastcopywriter Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I think shoe design has a lot of potential. Think of all the shoe companies in the world, all the shoe designers looking for inspirations, stuck in a rut, or even customers who want custom shoes but want to see a design before meeting an offline designer. Go ahead and do that gig, see what happens. Maybe it will be a hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asiscreations Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 i have started my gig,now most of you are more experienced . i want you guys to check my gig and tell me is it ok or not or any other improvements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munimz Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Creating a gig wont hurt you, so I would suggest you to go for it!Then find forums online related to shoe designs etc and promote your gig overthere!I remember when i created my gig to offer Discourse Installation services, it was the only gig present. Then in promoted it in the respected community and now i have like 3 orders in queue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munimz Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Reply to @asiscreations: Actually i did see your gig about show designing!Firstly: Honestly i wasn’t expecting your design to be that good! But you surprised me, so voila! Pakistan has some of the most talented people!The only thing that was unprofessional (in my opinion) was your description!For example “h” of hello should be capitalized! This “hello:)” should be "Hello :)"You can organize it a bit more! Give some spacing etc.These things seem to be small but I have learnt that they matter a lot!Also heres one more thing i have learned, When you start you have to make compromises!Do work for people in very very cheap prices! Give them some extras! Make sure they are completely satisfies, once you have enough sales, You can increase your prices a bit!PS- these are just my opinions. They may be wrong 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misscrystal Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 What people will be in the market to buy shoe designs?What will they do with them? I am not aware of a huge market for shoe designs.Usually people go into a shoe store and buy shoes already made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waysofstyle Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Misscrystal usually custom shoes can be people with big feet, or really small, wide etcAlso in my profession they are used for catwalks/runway shows. Like over the top Dolce and Gabana, Victor&Rolf etc The big names have their favorites but the new names usually not yet. However, they probably don’t know about the gig in Fiverr…so it would mean some marketing, I guess. Either way keep up the enthusiasm and keep on trying…like I have to do too:-) Have a great weekend!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asiscreations Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Reply to @munimz: thank you munimz…I will work on my description btw Pakistan is not what media shows,it is a different world here and a lot o talent too 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asiscreations Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Reply to @misscrystal:miss crystal every shoe design firm has designers, they design an article and then it goes to production and then to the store but that designers get a good salary but i am doing that job which is highly paid in very less money btw I am also a shoe designer in a firm and here i have started, you can say a side bussiness.
