First your gigs looking good, you have great content on gigs!!

I suggest you to share your gigs and also to send offers to Buyer Requests and you will get sales!

I hope you will get many sales soon!

Best wishes!

Congratulations on getting started. Fiverr is a fantastic place to get started with an online business, but keep in mind it’s going to take some time to build it up and regular effort on your behalf to really brand yourself identify your target market and do business development regularly until you can hire individuals to help you with it. I do have a gig where I offer personalized strategic consulting to help people get going…But also offer for $5 what is essentially a checklist of what your profile and gigs should have when you launch, what you should be doing on a daily basis, things that are helpful to do on a weekly basis, and then things you should be doing every gig order you receive.

One thing I will tell you is don’t over promise and under-deliver. And be prepared for a lot of low ball offers especially when you get started. (A good example is, what’s regard to my Consulting I offer a lot of value, and all the individuals who work with me have good success, but a number of buyers have the kind of mentality that they don’t want to invest the worth of what they are getting… so just be prepared for that. But there are also plenty of buyers who are very great about realizing when a job is done well and giving very generous tips. At least that has been my experience, probably 70% of the jobs I do are repeat clients and of that at least half give very generous tips on a regular basis

Dear Crystal:

Day-um, grrrl, if you have been doing this since 201, you must be like, old!

I took a quick look at your profile:

Your profile image: Should focus on you.
Your log line: This is a slogan that goes under your user name. You don’t have one. You should get one and make it cool.
Your profile text – note the edits:

Blogging is my passion and have been doing this since 201. I am very good at web development, advertising, Search Engine Optimization (SEO), and Business marketing. I am here to help you. -Crystal [or whatever Name Buyers should call you]

All your gigs should have video, 3 images, 2 pdfs, and so on… You should avoid generic stock images, and having the same image for 3 gigs is a bad idea.

Make a video of yourself talking to the camera, because this approach garners IMMEDIATE RESULTS. Include additional samples in the video!

You definitely need to clean up your English. Consider hiring a copy writer.

Good luck,
Blaise

Never Contact a Seller on Fiverr to Ask for FREE STUFF!]
Be sure to make use of Tools like the Fiverr Blog, Fiverr Academy, Fiverrcast, and Fiverr Support.

I suggest you check out Fiverrcast episode 08: Working Through Language Barriers.

As a general rule, when I have time to participate in the Fiverr Forum and I notice a request like yours in the “Improve My Gig” section, I am willing and able to look at a Seller’s Profile and one gig one time.

I can give you a better level of assistance if you first work your way through the checklist below. That way, I won’t waste your one turn by advising you to follow items on the checklist.
Please study this thread: https://forum.fiverr.com/t/the-big-day-i-finally-ask-blaisefaint-to-critique-my-gig/104448 to better appreciate what I’m talking about here. It should take you a minimum of 4 weeks to make your way through all the material.

If you haven’t already read Strengths Finder 2.0 and taken that assessment, I suggest you do so, because it should give you the language to express your strengths and help you to brainstorm some gigs for which you are especially well qualified. Check out the writing of Chris Guillebeau and Tim Ferriss. By Josh Kaufman, I recommend The First 20 Hours: How to Learn Anything… Fast! and The Personal MBA. Also, you could read Influence by Robert Cialdini and Get Anyone to Do Anything by David J. Lieberman.

Here’s a thread discussing a specific example of a Buyer Request for which I created a gig and then asked for help improving that gig via the forum.
