Hello! I hope you all are having a wonderful day. 

I believe I reached a point where I think I'm good enough to finally start making a few pennies off of my hobby, and decided to create a fiverr account. I loved the idea of supporting myself and family financially by doing something I love. 

However, after creating and setting up my fiverr gig until I was satisfied with it, I began browsing other gigs others have set up, and oh boy I was overwhelmed. People with decades of experience with hundreds of five star reviews all praising their excellent work. How could I ever compete against such experienced sellers? 

Obviously I'm starting from scratch, I get no more than nine impressions with zero orders and zero clicks, which makes my gig look extremely unappealing compared to other older, more popular gigs. I also can't imagine the number of lesser known gigs similar to mine.

 I'm fully aware that I need to have patience, but later on will it be based on luck? Do I need to wait for my first order, whenever that happens so that my gig can look a little more inviting? 


I'd love to hear views from people who have gone through the same experience but got their gig up-and-running. 

Feeling very overwhelmed. Would love to hear professional's experiences.
