  1. I have been a logo designer for quite a while, this is pretty accurate but orange can also mean eye catching and wants attention. Satori graphics is a youtube who explains this pretty well.

    Thanks. I checked few of his videos, unfortunately didn’t found something that is only about color psychology. I wanted to link it in topic.

  2. This is incredibly useful information.I am noticing a pattern on one of my gigs and it tallies with your revelation. I have one question for you. Is it okay to use the same color or color theme for all your gigs?

  3. By the way if you have problem with anything - google it

    Are you talking to me? 진지하게?

    I do not need conversion fees, I am not going to take money from Paypal. I never take money from Paypal, I put money on it. Why would I need money on the bank? If I had 100$ on Fiverr and by transferring to Paypal set in USD and get 96$ that is not conversion.

    For some unknown reason, I transferred USD to USD and it turned in to euros.

    @marinapomorac No no im talking about everyone in general who’s talking about 2.5% percent fee, which can be easily escaped

  4. It’s really not hard to google “How to reduce PayPal conversion fees”

    I personally transfer USD from Fiverr to PayPal, then from PayPal to Transferwise and then from Transferwise I convert USD to PLN and send those to my polish back account. This way I get 2$ fee only as I remember? instead of 2.5% and low exchange rate

    // By the way if you have problem with anything - google it, works in 99% cases 😉

    Well, let´s rather say understadning analytics may help to be successful. 😉 There are definitely more key factors in the game.

    Definitely, for me analytics are best way to choose if I should keep going on with gig or delete it. And yeah understanding is a must

  6. This sounds like a real analytics approach. 🙂

    Click through rate is quite important for Gigs as it may show how good your thumbnail is.

    It would be very nice to see that together with conversion rate in so called analytics.

    You may want to state for what period. ?

    @blavaro

    Analytics are key to success 😉

    For month

  7. CTR rate determines how much percent of people are clicking on your gig when seeing it on search results. You can calculate CTR rate by calculating what percentage of impressions are clicks. I believe this data will help us a lot with determining how good is gig performing

    Use your main gig analytics and you can calculate percentage here https://thepercentagecalculator.net/what-percent-of-x-is-y.html

    • Less than 2%
    • About 2 - 4%
    • About 5 - 7%
    • About 8 - 10%
    • More than 10%

    What is the best way to convert a color palette to HTML code? For example I found this plugin the color picker chrome [link] What do you think about it?

  9. So your suggestion is that I engage until the scammer sends a link?

    Exactly I would recommend to engage with everyone that contacts you even if seems spammy, this will not only prevent you from lowering response rate but also you will not lose clients that you misperceived as spammy ones.

  10. I have gotten 4-5 messages all from different people saying things like:

    Hello

    Hi

    I considered them scam and used the scam option. I have responded to all messages that looked real. Now my response rating is at 50% and the only ones I haven’t responded to are scammers. That doesn’t seem right to lower our rates because we don’t answer scam messages.

    Hi it’s not lowering our rates if scammer got banned, I think best way is to wait till he sends link to external source with contact.

  11. I decided to share some scammer messages here to increase awareness of new sellers. Maybe in future they will have no success in scams and will stop spamming our inboxes 😉

    Most important scammer warning flags ⚠️

    • Offering “long-term business”
    • Link to external source with they offer details
    • Want to contact outside Fiverr
    • Weird nicknames
    • No reviews
    • Offer too much money for job
    • They are trusting you too much as a new seller (weird right?)
    • They contact you out from nothing (no gig related messages, no buyer request)

  12. This topic is part 2 of Use color psychology to improve your gig. If you didn’t read it, please do it before you get into this one as I covered many color basics over there. Many people got interested in this topic and this is why I made continuation. Now enough chit-chat 🙂


    Colors on computer monitor are made by combination of 3 basic colors: red, green and blue.

    We can use currently 16,777,216 colors in web and there are three popular methods of choosing colors in most graphic tools. It’s important to understand them, because you may have graphic tool where there is no color picker, and you may need to insert color values manually. I discovered also that using this methods often finds much better color shades 😉 You need to know about them too if you want to use color palettes tools which will help you find great shades of colors. And this topic is a must know knowledge for somebody that works as a web developer or graphic designer.

    RGB - Red, Green, Blue

    Values of colors red, green and blue are inserted as numbers within 0 to 255 of each color.

    Examples:

    • 255, 166, 0
      sadfsafasfsasadasassa.jpg.c2edac935907666dd7dcae9e589c887b.jpg

    • 0, 47, 255
      sadfsafasfsasadasassasda.jpg.92461a3b233448e21a2380d12546670a.jpg

    • 255, 0, 144
      sadfsafasfsasadasassasdasda.jpg.2f6eb37cb9b001b5aee0a411a9ea9ced.jpg

    HEX - hexadecimal

    Values of colors red, green, blue are inserted in hexadecimal values. Every color have 2 numbers in value. Values from smallest to largest: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F. Letters don’t need to be caps.

    Examples:

    • #FF0000

    • #00FFD8

    • #E500FF
      sadfsafasfsasadasas.jpg.309ab1cb5732218fe2db0282922f7647.jpg

    Predefined colors

    You can also use predefined color names. Now i don’t recommend this method as it allows only 147 basic colors, which is really limited number considering other methods.

    Examples:

    • Red

    Those are very important and valuable tips. Thank you very much! ? I have never received orders for the some colors I used. :thinking:

    😇 Can you give me an idea of the colors of my gig images? 😊 Great help!

    Hi @photocutter92,

    Your gigs may seem more technical, but I think that they will work better when you are gonna make them look more creative. Even if it’s only photoshop editing, it’s still linked with photography which needs creativity. And if your gigs will look more passionate and not just “Give me money I will give you work” it is always better i think. So I would experiment with bright colors like orange or yellow. When you will use bright colors you need to use dark font color, most likely black or dark grey so it will contrast properly. I personally love websites with orange main color and totally black (#000000 hex) as secondary color for text. But for your gig most importantly I would advise to make it more intuitive. I cover that topic here: Stop filling your gig image with informations!

    Hope that helps 🙂

  14. Good recap!

    The use of colors in advertising was one of my favorite segments in my marketing class. I remember the chapter covering the topic was easily the second most referenced for the semester final group project. (Most referenced was the 4Ps.) Some good memories there, so thanks for the nostalgia!

    Some of the colors differ in meaning from what I remember, but I also recall there’s sometimes cultural differences that can affect a color’s meaning.

    Wow, that sounds great. It was good school for sure 🙂

  15. How about black and white for a voice over gig?

    I would not recommend this combination as black and white will not help you get noticed, which is important when it comes to gigs. I would go with yellow-white combination or yellow-black. You can also try something with orange, which would look great aswell in your particular gig.

  16. Hi, Is there any colour combination for engineering draftsman, just asking.

    Hi, your job is important and requires skills. I would recommend using blue to make you associate with trustability. Blue goes well with many colors, most important is that it needs to contrast. I personally love blue & white combination, as it looks professional and clear at the same time. 🙂

  17. “Color is a power which directly influences the soul.” ― Wassily Kandinsky

    Do you know why every water bottle is blue? Why every traffic “Stop” sign is red? It’s because different colors make people feel different emotions. Water bottle is blue, because it looks more trustworthy. Would you drink from a water bottle that it’s color is black? I would not even think about buying one. Every traffic “STOP” sign is red, so it will focus driver attention and make him more alert.

    I learned that when I was studying web design and Im still using it today on my websites. If i would be making layout for doctor’s website or payment service company I would totally go on blue with white. Ecology Party Website? There you go green, your turn…

    You can see color psychology used everywhere, because it’s so effective. There are artist, companies, politics that are using it. You can use it on your main gig image, so you can affect potential buyers emotions! You could just change colors on it and make your gig more effective. Okay Michał, but I have 5 orders and no time to read so much. I get it and I value your time.

    Below I will list most important colors and when to use them. You can read more about color psychology online, as im not psychologist 😁

    • Making your gig more noticeable
