laughinginc Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Why am I getting an error when starting a new gig? This is the error:1 error prevented this gig from being savedGig items Illegal characters in the title. Use only numbers, letters, dots and dashes.My gig title is literally only spaces and letters. I even tried without spaces. This is it:I will create a PROFESSIONAL informational video about your product for $5what gives?Sheriff’s Note: Moved to Fiverr FAQ since this is a common question.

startselect Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Maybe the all caps on professional have something to do with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrislnz Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Check the text in the gig description - you may have illegal characters there e.g. a URL with http etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty21015 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 It also will often tell you below the title what aspect is wrong. I am not sure if it says caps or not. Can you copy/past the red text into your next post here… So we can maybe help you better.Also if you repeat a word in title or description. Like Video, and then later say video again… Fiverr seems to flag that as too much use. (I think it was to stop seo spammers) but often causes issues for me because I do Youtube videos, and then need to describe the video… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fonthaunt Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Although this is primarily a thread from a couple of years ago, here are some tips:Make sure you don’t repeat the “I will” and “for $5” since they are included automatically.When it comes to “excessive use” errors, it means just that. Using the same word too many times in the tags or other parts of the gig description is considered keyword stuffing. If you have 5 tags and you put: logo, beautiful logo, best logo, logo design, graphics - that is likely to give you an error. Remove the word logo in one of those tags and save again. (Example - change “best logo” to “best graphic”) If you get the error again, you’ll have to keep removing the word logo until it will save.

thejamesf Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I’m getting the same error and its driving me crazy!!!its: give you a shout out on my health Instagram page for $5.Someone please help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fonthaunt Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Be sure you don’t actually write either “I will” or “for $5” since those are added for you. You only want “give you a shout out on my health instagram page” without the quote marks. Putting “for $5” will cause the error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heatwave15 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I wrote a Gig Title which got me a pat on the back saying just perfect. Then when I got to the end of the overview and I hit save. What happens? I get a note saying the title is no good. It needs spaces, letters and numbers. So I add the number of words I will provide and I still get the same note, along with one chastising me for having a title that is too long. This is very frustrating and there does not appear to be any instructions of any worth.Example title: promote you on twitter/facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pictureproof Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I’m having the same issue and all I am typing for my title is:“I will create a high converting product/service image” every time I enter it I get"Gig title should consist of letters, numbers, and spaces" and I thought it might be the “/” but it’s not that so I have no clue. Any suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fonthaunt Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Yep, @heatwave15: / is not considered a letter, number or space. No punctuation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fonthaunt Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Yep, / is not considered a letter, number or space. No punctuation. Also, you can’t put I will in your title. It’s redundant. You should be able to use “create a high converting product or service image” without the quotes, if it will fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
