How do I make my first sale?

[gigreviews]

I have some good gigs, with a good variety of categories, yet I am struggling to get my first sale. I contact buyers who want something related to my gig, but they hardly ever respond. Help?

Well, if I may be honest, you are not really offering anything I would pay $5 for. You’re offering things I can do myself- for free.



First of all, make videos for all your gigs. Fiverrers love videos

Secondly, talk about your experience. Why would I hire you to type me an article when I can hire a top-rated/featured seller that has a degree in English, along with 10 years experience? You need to talk about your experience to convince me to hire you.



I have a thread here you may be interested in: http://forum.fiverr.com/discussion/9624/guidehow-i-reached-level-2-and-featured-seller-in-6-weeks

Also, another thing you should do is change your default sheep picture. This shows you are still new. The best pictures are either images of yourself or represent you gigs.
