If you’re a seasoned seller, you probably know this already, so this one is directed at all of you fairly new sellers out there.

After nine years on the platform, I’ve tried and tested all these strategies, so I know they work! 

Here are some nuggets of wisdom I’ve gathered over the years that can help you earn more from Fiverr without doing much extra work. 

Buyers love quick turnaround times. If you’re not charging extra for it, you’re losing out on potential revenue. Just remember to under-promise and over-deliver. Don’t bite off more than you can chew by setting unrealistic delivery times. Aim to deliver before the 12-hour notification goes off. 

Some buyers appreciate the safety net of added revisions, while others might request them during the order process. This ties in with the above: charge for it. I offer one revision with every order, but anything more comes with a price tag. And in case you missed it, a revision typically means small changes within the scope of the original order. New script? Extra work? You guessed it… 

Could some of the services you include in your gig be moved to your order extras list? 

3. Cross-selling: Your gigs could be a goldmine

 successful gig while the others are collecting dust in the corner of page 18? This is a game-changer to increase sales across your entire gig catalog. If a buyer is interested in one of your gigs, they might also be interested in your other gigs. Add a friendly note at the end of each delivery message, letting your buyer know you offer services X, Y, and Z, and always be on the lookout for new opportunities when you chat with clients. I've seen this strategy transform into regular buyers needing a multitude of services. In fact, one of my highest-grossing gigs to this day got started thanks to this tactic. 

Still charging the price of a cup of coffee for your gig? Price hikes, inflation, the increased cost of living - it all adds up. A well-planned strategy to increase your rates could be just what you need to boost your earnings. A higher price tag also sets you apart and makes you look more professional. Want to attract premium buyers? Do it with premium pricing (and make sure you’re up for the challenge!). 

Festivities and seasons can bring in a wave of orders if you’re ready for them. Launching new gigs for special occasions like Christmas, New Year, the 4th of July, elections, or Black Friday, might make you the new go-to-seller for buyers searching for specific services. 

Increasing your earnings is all about identifying opportunities, adding value, and recognizing your worth.
