  1. Fiverr is a true example of capitalism. Everyone is in free market competition and this is not a good thing. If free market competition exists in any marketplace, price of any product will be getting lesser and quality of service will be getting higher. But if free market competition is not present then monopoly will hit badly and this will not be good for buyers.

    You're in perhaps the most competitive category on Fiverr: WordPress. 

    Do you have a business plan at all? A strategy for how you're going to build your niche, sell your services and promote your business? 
    What is your value proposition (i.e. why should buyers pick you over the 113.000 other sellers in your category?) What makes you unique? 
    When you know that, you can begin to create a plan for your marketing. You also need to know who your clients are, what they need, and how you will solve their problems. 

    The best way to market your gig is right here on Fiverr. You do so by building trust and credibility, having a perfect gig in every way, and constantly improving. You need to stand out.

    I like that you have a gig video where you show yourself and talk about what you can do. That's something many sellers skip, and it can help you stand out. But you should re-do the video with better audio quality and lighting. 

    Hire a friend or expert with a great camera and good audio gear to record your video. Get a nice location to film in (perhaps there are some co-working spaces with nice offices you can rent for a day?). Or, if you have the money, give your office a fresh coat of paint, get a new desk and make it look like you really mean business. 

    When it comes to your script for your gig video, practice, practice and practice some more; hire a language teacher online to help you with the pronunciation of the specific script you're working with. Showing off that your English is excellent will help ease buyers' worries about communication issues because you're not a native speaker. 

    Why all of this, you ask? Because it will help you stand out. If I check out your gig and see you as a true professional – a serious businessman who has invested in their business – I'm more likely to trust you with my project. 

    You're on the right track with your gig description, but there's still room for improvement. Hire a US or UK native proofreader to help you fix mistakes and make it look native. 

    One thing that stands out to me and makes you look less professional is this part of your gig description: 


    "Message me if my packages exceed your budget."


    That immediately tells me that you're not professional and that you don't have any reason to back up your rates. It tells me that you're a person open to being used and willing to work for less. 

    There's a reason why you have the rates that you do. Don't budge. Stand your ground and be proud of your rates. Never, ever apologize for them. 

    Here are some tips I wrote on improving trust on Fiverr as a new seller. They might help! 

     

     

    I am also a new seller. Can you please review my gigs? I published 2 gigs on the same domain. Thanks in advance.
