[how can get more order from buyers ?]

Hi. From my POV:

• Include as many examples as you can in your gallery, in your case any real world examples or a portfolio perhaps. If you have worked for a particular industry, that is better than having a random group of logos or examples.
• Yes, polish the English in your gig description so it is easier to understand.
• There are a ton of graphic designers. I put up a buyer's request one time and got at least 300 offers during the following week.... so yeah...you will have to provide something to distinguish yourself. At some point, it is a numbers game.
• Your Gig has no reviews, which may turn off some buyers. If you have any prior reviews at all that you can mention, include them for now.

I hope this helps.

[FIVERR ORDER]

If you wait long enough, a user may stumble across your profile via the search tool. It could take weeks or months for that to happen though.

[Zero responses from potential sellers]

Typically, any seller who has been online in the past 1-3 days will generally respond to a message in...1-3 days. However, if someone is "last seen" 2 weeks ago or more...you may have to wait a while for any reply.

It depends on your intro message. If you send a long paragraph or a mini essay, it may be too overwhelming or daunting for the seller to process. Also, be sure to have a clear question or clear call to action.

Try to keep any messages 3 sentences or less and see if that helps. Granted, project details can easily go for paragraphs, but for back and forth communication, most scenarios can be boiled down to 3 sentences or less, I think.

[How I can improve my gig, please advise what is missing and what can i add in this to improve.]

I would double check the grammar in your Gig description. Also, include any visual examples of websites you have worked on. Examples help A LOT! I always look for examples. They are very important. If you have any, show them in the gallery or include a list or previous sites you have worked on.

[How to do buyers request in the old fashioned way, getting a list of offers?]

Hi @porma9! Long time no see! 😊

It looks like you might be filling out a buyer's brief (not a buyer's request). Can you double check to see what you are actually filling out?

A buyer's request should look like this:

Basically, the briefs are a new feature. Yes, I get that when I click on Post a Request. I tried it just now. I will handle it for now, lol shrug. Be safe, and I am glad you are well. (I tried tagging your username, but it didn't work so I quoted your entire post.)

[How to do buyers request in the old fashioned way, getting a list of offers?]

You input a brief and sellers DM your inbox if they are interested. There is no way to view a list of interested sellers, like before. I only know if someone is interested if I get a message randomly.

[How to do buyers request in the old fashioned way, getting a list of offers?]

Hi

Fiverr recently overhauled how they do buyers requests. I really got used to the old way of getting a list of sellers and sifting through them myself. Is there any way to still replicate that, from the seller POV? I like seeking them out and filtering through all the different ones who are interested and reaching out if they seemed good to me.

[READ, People! Be original!]

I was scanning over a thread from 2020 about how to get “permanent clients”. Unless you have the elixir of life…anyways, I wanted to point out that paying attention to or commenting on the project details is a good way to get attention. Most of the sellers I have worked with never mention a thing about my project itself. It’s a small thing you can do to show you are aware and receptive or at least feign a connection with the project or the project’s concept.

Although I did have one time where my order file had two of my fiction character’s names in the file description—only one of the names was completely misspelled! Lol!

Why does this matter?
If I am looking for a web designer, I’ll find 100s of people who can talk to me or mention about Wordpress. But I will rarely find someone who actually talks about MY PROJECT. That’s the difference/distinction. I don’t mean write a five paragraph essay gushing about the client’s project, but even a small mention that directly mentions the project itself for a phrase or a sentence shows it’s not just generic work to the seller.
Yes, I know you know about Wordpress. So do 100 other people…but do you know even a tiny bit about my project?

Just a thought.

[How to get exactly what you are looking for!]

Yep. Illustrators want examples of photos or drawings. Musicians want examples of music…lol. I try to accommodate these example requests, though I find it comical that I’M asking for the drawing and they need a drawing to get started…things like that. Like…well…I’m…asking FOR the drawing. If I had one…well…

[How to get exactly what you are looking for!]

I’m a buyer and I don’t draw, but here’s my brief take on the process.

I usually don’t get sketches of the work in progress. It doesn’t bother me personally though because I rely on revisions and my extensive initial instruction to carry the drawing from start to finish, accurately.

Wow, people know HEX color codes? I had to google shades of colors and get photos and get some opinions until I could pick out a color. One handy tool is a mobile app called Color Grab that can detect any color on any part of an image. It could also just be a matter of “I’ll know it when I see it”.

Yeah, personality and style are important. IMO, art, like anything else creative, is ultimately subjective and a form of expression. Knowing what emotion, personality or expression you want the drawing to convey is important. I actually think the expression is the biggest part. Art is simply visual expression, like how writing is verbal expression and music is…aural expression? It’s all expression, at the end of the day.

A brand book is a good idea. Or just having some template so that all drawings maintain consistency across each drawing. It also helps people recognize what they are looking at, probably.

[Stop hiring bad sellers! ?]

I usually message sellers and have a micro interview with them. I ask 3 or 5 questions, slowly drilling down until it is known if they offer what I want, at an agreeable price. Lately I’ve been hiring illustrators, so my questions will start a little broad (can you do this art style, can you draw this object) and after a few questions I can generally figure out if the person meets my requirements or not. Hope that makes sense.

I don’t really hire anyone without at least a small conversation. My project is pretty specific and I tend to unleash a flood of words for my actual gig project (lol, I’m such a writer), so the questions help me understand if the seller can fit the slot or puzzle piece of my project’s super specific need(s).
