Have your sales been dropping in the past couple of weeks?

Thanks John!

How do I know when Package system will be available?
How do I make changes to my gig? On what basis, I mean?
I visit Buyers request daily as well; how do I ensure that my offer is better? I can’t see no offers from other sellers. How do I make mine better and attractive than others?

Regards,
Maitri

The problem was not the package system, it was the price! You need to offer something more basic than $140 to start with. When buyers see 140 beside lots of 10,20 and 50 dollar offers, they will not look at it.

[eoinfinnegan]

I could definitely live with 4-9 cents 🙂
In areas like logo and web design prices go up horribly.

[magellon]

That´s right, your Standard package must be like a bait, a very low price, then you have Extras that are offered as well.

[magellon]

You need to promote your Gigs too, I recommend posting on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and more. You will find reliable sellers on Fiverr with large social accounts who will do a fine job for you.

[magellon]

It should do for sure.

[magellon]

@Maitri when you are on your ¨My Gigs¨ page, where you see all your Gigs listed with your Impressions, Clicks, Views, etc… on the far right, opposite a Gigs that is open to setting Packages, you will see a block marked ¨Packages¨ or something like that. Then you click on that button and it will take you to your Gig offering you to set up 1 or 3 Packages. It is straightforward to go about it. You are offered that opportunity depending on the Category / Subcategory of your Gig.

[magellon]

I don’t have but I highly recommend social media marketing (Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and more…) if you don´t have large social accounts, you can hire these services on Fiverr.

Great tips - Thanks for sharing, I’m going to put them into action right away.

I’ve been recently experiencing the same drop. It really came out of nowhere as soon as packages were introduced to my gigs about two weeks ago or so. I’m always constantly making changes to my gigs and promoting them, but I guess I waited a little too long to switch them to packages and now my sales have tanked. I’m getting a little worried. Does anyone know how long this might last?

[magellon]

Unfortunately bewrit Fiverr never warns when they are going to make changes to their algorithm and no-one knows how long this low period will last. It is basically up to us to find something that helps. I have posted a few actions I have taken (at the start of this thread), they seem to help, especially massive social marketing. If you or anyone in here test something that proves to be working, please do share it here. Thanks!

[isolem]

Thanks for all of your tips. The one tip that you suggest that I lack in has to do with promoting in social media. That is a weak spot for me, because I don’t spend much time using things like facebook or twitter or Pinterest. I’ve tried using them before to promote my books, but found no results whatsoever, not when I used my own accounts and not when I hired gigs on fiverr to do it for me, so I gave up on the whole facebook, twitter, pinterest thing. I figured that if someone who claims to have millions of facebook connections can’t help me give away free books that I’m offering on promotion, how could they help me improve my fiverr gigs where I’m charging for the services I Provide.

Have others had more luck with these gigs, and if so, did I somehow do something wrong?

[waqarrasheed19]

Really Helpful dude … You said 2,3 weeks… My gigs are down from last 5,6 months… Till now I’m not getting orders more than 10-12…

[touqeer_abbasi]

thanks magellon,
you always come up with some good ideas 🙂

[thebackpacker]

Thank you for sharing tips surrounding recent changes.

I’ve experienced a highly positive drop in sales since the new packages were introduced. I’m receiving less orders from clients who don’t bother to read the descriptions (and therefore expect my full selection of services for $5) and less initial questions through messages due to the added clarity allowed within each package description.

I’ve found the packages have led to a decrease in sales numbers, yet an increase in real sales from informed buyers.

Has anyone else found the packages to be beneficial in saving them time and increasing overall revenues?

[zibonkumer]

my GIG impression was good but buyers do not communicate with me. what can i do ?

[magellon]

I have my own large social accounts and my fans and followers have all been added manually by myself, plus they are screened weekly, which means that I remove the few fake ones that might have sneaked in, and those that are not showing any activity in the past two weeks. It took me years to accumulate those fans and followers, so it makes me laugh when someone offers to post a message to their lists with millions of followers, as it would take them at least 3 generations working 24 hours a day to have such a list, if they were real fans and followers, trust me. My social accounts are clean, and open to public.

[magellon]

5 - 6 months? That would seriously worry me Waqar. You should follow my suggestions because you have great Gigs and have been selling, so you might just need to do some tweaking.

[magellon]

Thanks very much my friend. You should try to create more Gigs, in your field I am sure that you can find something to fit. You could break down your main Gig into other specialised Gigs for example.

[magellon]

Great, that annoying spam message has been removed.

[magellon]

In a way, it looks like you are benefitting from the introduction of the Packages, since you spend less time responding to those who are not reading your full description and think that they will get the whole lot for $5.

To me, it is a great time saver and it puts the prospect right in front of the reality. In any case, any seriously interested person WILL read your full description from now on, and customers reviews before pressing the purchase button, I guess.

Thanks for your comment 🙂

[talpurasad]

Great informative sharing

[magellon]

Hi Zibon,

Impressions doesn’t mean much, what you are mostly interested in is people visiting your site, if they are not, then they definitely will not communicate with you, or place an order. Do you have clicks? If not, I suggest that you do some promotions. According to Fiverr, promoted gigs are 3 times more likely to sell! 🙂

[divyagoel]

[mithunbaiju]

I see. I will drop the price. Thanks 🙂
