  1. I am also getting gigs at a slow rate, but I have noticed that gigs have been coming in more regularly over the past few weeks.

    It helps to try to make your gig as attractive as possible.

    • Do you have professional, high-quality images?
    • Are you showcasing samples of work?
    • Did you make a video highlighting your strengths and showing relatability?
    • Do you have a thorough and engaging description?

    On top of that, I've noticed that providing the highest-quality work possible for the gigs you do get is the most important thing. The small successes will multiply once you get reviews and establish a strong reputation.

  2. I have only worked several months on Fiverr, my top gig has three reviews and gets impressed about 20 times per day. My question is: when should I consider advertising this gig? Should I wait until I organically build up my reputation, or will advertising help me get orders even when I'm getting started?

  3. It is definitely possible to get orders if you are just getting started. In fact, I don't think it's a good idea to spend money advertising a gig with no reviews. You should get some good organic success so you have some good reviews before you even consider advertising.

    If your gig is optimized with high-quality images, samples of work, and a strong description, then it is only a matter of time before someone finds you. You may just need to wait several weeks to a month, and then once you get your first order, the amount of orders coming in should steadily increase from there.

  4. I have been a seller since November of 2022, so only several months. In that time, I have completed five gigs. Three came in a short timespan in early January, and I have only received one since then. My impressions increased to a peak in early January, about a month live on Fiverr, then dipped back down.

    Is this normal? Does everyone experience this up and down while they're beginning, or is it a sign that I may have an issue I need to correct?

  5. It is true that sharing on social media is one of the last means of manual outreach, there are still some things you can do.

    While you are getting started, set your prices below the market. This will attract specific buyers and should get you a few reviews, and from there you can start doing things like

    Get certified on all applicable tests

    Earn badges from Fiverr Learn

    Optimize the gig with a video and custom graphics

    The only surefire way to get gigs is to rank well for the buyer queries, and to appear as favorable to the Fiverr algorithm as possible.
