Gig Packages - What price should you set?

I think this will be a great opportunity, I hope it does reach the Virtual Assistant category because VA’s can definitely package their services, the only downfall is those buyers who will not accept that not everything will be for $5.

News is Good, but Fiverr will no longer be Fiverr. The CORE CONCEPT of “Five” is going to the end. So, what will make new Fiverr different from any other portal (may be PPH)??

Anyways, one of the major consequence will be… quality will service and those non-sense gigs of fake traffic etc are going to die. To my surprise… these fake gigs have tons of 5 star review ( I guess its only because of as low cost as $5; if price will go up by 50 then upside down scene will appear).

[seoascent]

My BEST recommendation on this change will be — KEEP concept of “Five” intact. That is, there MUST be 1 package (though optional) of $5. Else Fiverr will be just any other marketplace.

I think that is where it’s important to keep to your current regular order prices as this is rolled out to your category.

So, if you receive a lot of $5 orders and upsell, it’s important to keep that $5 to still allow that. However, if you notice the majority of your orders are over $5, then there may not actually be a need to have the $5 base.

For me, the packages are about making your pricing options eaiser to understand and order, whilst offering higher value services (such as custom animations) which don’t have a $5 start - as opposed to upping your prices just because you can.

This is awesome. 🙂 Keep it up Fiverr. #loveFiverr

This looks cool. we are looking forward to other categories as well.

[twistedweb123]

To my knowledge, the rollout will be site wide (across all categories), it’s just being staged at the moment.

[borydesign]

Im truly looking forward at this, it will really segregate the price range better and you can still do micro works but dont waste so much time explaining extra for big fishes !!

[kumarsingh]

This is truly awesome and i really appreciate the thought behind it, great job fiverr team. I love you guys.

I really like this, can’t wait to be available in all categories.

[elvisinstacute]

We so want this to be live in our (cat)egory (pet models). It’s is always a hustle to get people to pay for what the order. Anyone know how fast Fiverr will roll this out and is it for the whole of Fiverr eventually?

[fastcopywriter]

I see what you did, because your gigs are paused, it was a bit confusing. What if you end up with a lot people buying the $5 option by mistake? Can they upgrade later?

Fiverr makes too many damn changes. Now when I send a custom quote, I have to remember what my gig extras are worth because Fiverr decided to “fix” that issue. Before it did the math for me, now I’m doing the math like a freaking caveman.

[twistedweb123]

Yep, at the point of delivery I send a custom page to them with their purchase, which uses Fiverr Anywhere to allow them to upgrade their package.

Here’s an example for you to look at: http://www.twistedweb123.me/logos/0/FO22BA0072A4

This was a $5 order, and the buyer can upgrade as they desire.

[Guest darklingdragon]

This is pretty cool. Thanks for including this feature. It will help me keep organized and let customers pick out what they need from me without being so confused.

Edit: I can’t find the revision option for my gigs anymore. The check-box that lets you choose the price for each revision. Is this a current technical issue?

[raees65]

Nice share

[divyagoel]

Look forward to see if it helps…

[chrisdata]

I changed to the new pricing of my gig today, hope sales getting in as usual. I go with Option 3, now finger cross.

[Guest jameslovell]

Ohhh Great option!!

[fastcopywriter]

Wow, I’m impressed. Sorry for not replying earlier, I’m still figuring out the new forum system. Today I discovered the replies button to see who has replied to my comments.

[writerlisaz]

I’m also very interested (and optimistic) about how this will work for those of us doing jobs by word count. I really like the 1000 words for “X” price because it’s easy to figure out how to multiply that–for both buyers and myself. I’m looking at the few packages available in our category and it’s got me thinking. I’m going to have to sit down and come up with something. I like this so far, at least!

I want to raise my price a bit from $5, but I think it’s going to have to be slowly since I have so many repeat buyers who are accustomed to my current price. This is always the dilemma, I guess!

[writerlisaz]

The “fiver” had to end eventually, and I think this way they’re being proactive about it. To me what will keep Fiverr standing out above the rest is the ease of use of the site, and one-click ordering versus bidding and negotiating.

[writerlisaz]

Okay, after doing some research on this, here’s my biggest fear about using packages: When you go to the seller listings and you see everyone has a $5 on their listing, except the few using packages so far, and they have a $150 or $40 or something on their listing–why would anyone buy from those sellers? They appear to be WAY more expensive than everyone else. I very much want to start using packages, but don’t want to turn everyone away right from the start.

Any ideas on this?

[Guest emankhan]

I am very excited with Fiverr update.
everyday I learn new here

[wordscollector]

Its more of a plus for buyers as well, in one click they would be able to select a package which they used to do by selecting extras and things like that.
