  1. You can change the title of your gig once you created your Gig but it will effect to the ranking of your Gig it may be drop after editing.
  2. There is an advantage working on Fiverr (I am a developer in WordPress & Odoo). Like you mentioned that overheads are not there. There are two ways of looking into the same. I come from a world that is outside of Fiverr. So my understanding will not be as good as other veterans on Fiverr. But here is my take. When I run my numbers, the cost of my overheads (Website + Marketing expenses + Time/Efforts) is about 35%. Fiverr takes about 20% as commission. So, I am still saving 15%. Now, the logic for me here is to pass this 15% that I am saving to my clients on Fiverr. For me each project will still have some assigned cost like a development server (usually a VPS). These cost are still built into my costing. The second way to look at it is that when people who are coming directly into Fiverr they are saving approx 30% that they would have otherwise spent to get a order or a contract. Also, when the eco-system sees your reviews etc., your account will snowball into a bigger account. In the world outside, each clients the whole pitch and time to close is much longer. When all this is calculated passing on those additional benefits to your clients by lowering your price is win-win.
  3. You can start using Revolution Slider for your project. It's a paid plugin, but if the theme is from Theme forrest, it usually included as a bundle.
  4. Yes - I am looking forward towards my success on Fiverr. Starting to promote my Gig in "My Gigs" forum too. Want to build a good community here.
  5. Read it! Thank you. It is interesting. I will surely implement a few ideas from here.
  6. Thank you. I am looking forward for being on Fiverr.
  7. Hey, I have created a new topic where I am advertising my Gigs! Please check it out!
  8. I quite like the story telling that was in the post. I don't completely agree with @rachelbostwick - where she assumes that a new seller is cutting corners to get business (surely there are quite a few of them in Fiverr). There are people like me who are running a successful agency outside of Fiverr and are looking at marketplaces to expand their business.
  9. Fiverr is a business. When we look at it as a business, all business might go through rebranding and renaming their business. Even big companies do it for various reasons. FB is now called Meta (FB is now a product within Meta). So changing of the name is important for all business as they grow and may feel a new name will help them.
  10. This is the problem, there is no way to figure out quality vs fake. Fiverr is taking steps with steps with test etc., which is a good thing. I gave my WordPress test - just to show my talent. What also that is missing is way to project my portfolio in Fiverr of all the work that I have done outside of Fiverr. This way, people will have trust in my work and will give me more work. There is something apart from Vintage Fiverr needs to do to promote new talent.
  11. I have recently written as to why pricing is important when you are a new seller on Fiverr.
  12. Read this - I talk about pricing and it's importance on Fiverr

     

  13. I was having a discussion on another thread and I thought this is very useful to this topic too where I talk about price:
  14. When you are on FB/IG/LinkedIn the effort is a lot more to generate the leads. With Fiverr it's a ready platform and a marketplace. Surely sellers who are old have an advantage and vintage. New seller the selling will be uphill. But should be worth the effort.
  15. I am new to Fiverr, my profile has just got 1 order. I have been working outside of Fiverr and also being doing a lot of research. This is what I have found in my research and what I do to get business (not just Fiverr but directly too). 1. Select your niche This is very important. There are thousands of gigs on every broad category of Fiverr. You can not get into the marketplace with wide niche gigs like content writing, graphic design, WordPress, etc. A lot of niche are competitive. So you need to be creative in offering your services. For instance, what I have started to do is instead of giving WordPress designing, I am giving WordPress support (this is the gig where I got an order). This way I am able to target people who are looking for quick support and already have a website. This is something that I also wrote in one of the other Forums: 2. ALWAYS play to your strengths If you position yourself as a generalist, you will find it hard to win the trust of potential clients. Create a specialty for instance if you are doing WP designs see how you can help lawyers and target them to get their website done or cooking websites. Having a very general "WordPress designer" will not help. You will also need to put it in a similar way within your profile. As mentioned above, even though I have a lot of WordPress experience I focus on Bug fixing and WP optimization. I am not going full blown "General" - focused my skills down to what I am good at. Or when it comes to system admin, I am only focusing on cPanel/Plesk administration. 3. Identify Your Target Audience This is something a lot of people have spoken about in Fiverr Forums. I am also trying to figure out what can be done and how to do it. As I will learn on this, I will come back and update this section. 4. Be Online as Frequently as you can. Buyers want sellers to respond quickly. To facilitate faster response, Fiverr gives buyers an option to see which sellers are online, as seen in the below image. If you are online, the chances of your gig being seen increase. I have downloaded Fiverr app and I appear to be online most of the times. 5. Create High Quality Gig Images One of the things I have noticed on Fiverr that most of the successful sellers have got images which talks about their services. They have created high quality images. You can use something as simple as Canva and use templates that are there. I have created my Gig images via that. Also my clicks improved once I updated my gig images. 6. Promote your Gigs on Social Media A lot of experts within the forums are divided on the same. For me, I am still playing around with this ideas. I am tweeting about my services on Fiverr. I do have over quite a bit of Twitter following so I am not sure. One of the things you need to be careful is to avoid FB Groups on Fiverr gig exchanges and things like that. It's a sure shot way to getting banned. Don't do anything that is not right as Fiverr algo's are very clever and can ban you quite immediately. 7. NEVER Spread Yourself too Thin Point is only only about Fiverr, but outside too. If you spread yourself too thin, it will drain you. This also means that you need to avoid clients are who are not reasonable. I do say NO to a lot of clients. Working with good clients means that they will come back to you and you will get repeat orders. This is something that Fiverr likes, get repeat orders. This is one of the reasons I am not doing gigs like WP designing via Fiverr. But doing WP Support means that the clients will come back for more. I hope this helps. I will come back later and will keep updating this post as and how I learn new things.
  16. Awesome! Congratulations. Wishing you the success on Fiverr!
  17. I can try to do that get in a few clients from outside of Fiverr to buy my services on Fiverr. That might also help with getting the ball rolling, I guess. Generally, my prices are extremely competitive - so doing a discount will be something I have to think about. When someone signs up on Fiverr either they are freshers or they are experienced people, if there is a way like LinkedIn where are can post our experience & projects outside of Fiverr this is also something that will help people like me. Maybe Fiverr should think about such features.
  18. @rajibrrakhmit Oh! Yeah, I am well aware of that. I was referring to a conversation before that I need to get my existing clients onto Fiverr to get me started. It was a reply to that. I am NOT looking to take clients away from Fiverr. I personally think it is a good system where both Buyers and Sellers are not at risk for non-delivery (service or money).
  19. This means that I am loosing my 20% of income to clients. Those clients are quite old too and they usually checkout from my website or they are invoiced directly from my Quickbooks. The system has been set. Yeah, I do get the point that Fiverr will reward me, maybe I will give it a thought.
  20. We have an established business outside of Fiverr. I am looking at Fiverr to increase my market. I have done over 500+ WP Websites and I am closed over 3K+ WP tickets. I know my craft quite well. But, Fiverr is an expansion to my business. All I am thinking as to how I can use Fiverr to gain more clients and expand my business.
  21. Whether it is a coincidence or otherwise, somewhere I (even being new to Fiverr) I also conclude to the same thing last week. I have started to with the gigs that will help my clients to get more tangible value. Reading your success story reinforced me that my thinking about my judgement was not wrong. Thank you!
  22. What I also figured out is that my Gigs are mostly in highly competitive niche like WordPress. This also let me to think of what I really do outside of WordPress and I have been able to come up with Gigs that is really my expertise of helping business to transform digitally. Once I did that, I have started to get more Buyer requests. Keeping my fingers crossed and hopefully I will be able to get the success on Fiverr.
