Try personalizing and branding your gig images with a picture of yourself or video!

Reply to @elieang: no promotion yet! I’m not sure how to promote honestly! People just search and find, I suppose!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your learnings. Fiverr has been such a blessing for myself as well but I’m in a growth stage and I’m wondering what you did when you were faced with the same situation here on Fiverr. When I opened my Fiverr account and still to this day, I’m offering an incredible deal (10 must have forms for $5). Now that I have $1.3K in sales, I want to make more to justify my time here on Fiverr. Some sellers started off with a great value gig and then altered it to say 5 forms instead of 10 and then offered the other 5 forms as gig extras. Do I leave the gig as is or alter it? I also am confused on how one order can be up to $4.5K. I’m a level 2 seller and that amount doesn’t seem possible given only 5 gig extras with the max of $50 each gig extra. What am I missing? lol Any feedback or suggestions are much appreciated. Sincerely, Suzanne

Fiverr has been life changing for me and I want to show you how you can succeed as well. I have to admit … when I first came here I was taken back by the $5 services. I thought, who would waste their time for $5? Is this really what the world is coming to? Not to mention the Fiverr and PayPal fees. But guys, it’s not like that.

 

 

 

I started in February and I think my first sale came a week later. By March I was getting a nice stream of sales and within 3 months I’ve made almost $5,000. I’m about $120 away at the moment and my goal is to make $3000 a month via Fiverr alone. That’s about double what I make right now. I’m a mom of 5 and this has been life changing for me. As a freelancer it can be difficult to find work, but Fiverr has built a bridge between wonderfully committed buyers and me. And I am so unbelievably thankful!

 

 

 

I’ve had a few blips along the way and I believe some learning curves, but I wanted to share them with you to help you succeed as well.

 

 

 

Here are my tips!

 

 

 

1.) Create a stellar profile page and great, detailed gig descriptions. Use your own picture and use video if you can. Buyers like to feel like they know you.

 

 

 

2.) Be kind. No matter what. I’ve dealt with quite a few rude buyers and even buyers who have made s****l remarks to me via the messages. Just be kind and report anything odd or alarming. No matter how rude a buyer is to you, even if you did nothing wrong, never respond with unkindness!

 

 

 

3.) Be willing to sacrifice in the beginning. I spent a lot of time doing A LOT of work for A TINY bit of money, but 2 months later when I reached Level 2 I was able to up my prices and decrease the amount of work I was willing to do for the $5 basic gig. I believe that people will pay for your work if it’s quality. Some people have a budget that just doesn’t allow for some of my services, and that’s okay, but those who do order from me come back because they know they’re getting quality service.

 

 

 

4.) Quality. That brings me to quality. Make sure you aren’t making mistakes before you deliver your order, not after. Don’t rush. Be open and honest with a buyer if you need more time, but don’t skimp on quality just to rush through a few orders. Be professional, courteous, timely, and always delivery quality work.

 

 

 

5.) Make sure your gig descriptions are detailed. As detailed as mine are, I still get some buyers who order the wrong gig or expect more than what I’m willing to offer for $5. In that case we often mutually cancel the order if they aren’t willing to add the gig extra. But you can prevent a great deal of cancellations simply by ensuring that your gig descriptions are detailed.

 

 

 

6.) Keep going! Don’t give up! Work hard. Answer emails efficiently and on time. Spell things correctly. Communicate professionally. Be willing to give discounts to repeat buyers.

 

 

 

7.) Learn more about your sellers. If there book is about parenting and I’m a parent, I will talk about that with them. Make conversation. Kindly speak to them in a friendly manner.

 

 

 

8.) Present yourself as a professional. Even if you’re doing pranks as a gig, present yourself as someone who knows their stuff. Pranksters are comedians, so be a professional master of laughs. Brand yourself well.

 

 

 

9.) Don’t fret over competition. We’re all a team here and while my services may not be best for someone, they may be for someone else. Fiverr is a great community and I’ve been inspired by other sellers AND buyers. Make friends. Not enemies.

 

 

 

10.) Never give up. Sales may begin at a slow and steady pace, but over time you’ll find buyers who are looking for YOU! Stay committed and work hard. You’ll get there!

 

 

 

Fiverr is on its way to becoming a main source of income for my family. We have struggled through hard times financially and Fiverr has served as a gateway to success, literally helping me feed and care for my kids in this suffering economy. I can’t thank Fiverr enough and I truly hope you can find the same level of success that I have. Of course, my goal is to keep on climbing until Fiverr is my MAIN source of income. I surely hope to be able to say that one day!

 

 

 

Have any questions? I’d be happy to help!
