You’ve just finished posting your gig on Fiverr.
Next thought is how to get sales, $5, $20, $100, or even more, on Fiverr.
You sit attentively, anticipating the arrival of the first order.
Crickets.
Nothing has happened in days.
Reality sets in, and you quickly discover that selling on Fiverr on a consistent basis is no easy task.
Today on DanielsHustle, I’m going to take you through how to get more sales on Fiverr.
Freelancing online is a fantastic opportunity to do what you enjoy while still earning money.
Maybe you’re making a few sales on Fiverr, but you think you could be making a lot more.
Perhaps you’re a newbie who’s having trouble and feels hopeless.
Fear not, whichever camp you belong to.
But don’t give up just yet.
I’ve put together a list of 15 basic strategies that can help you not only enhance your gigs but also strengthen your relationships with clients.
You’ll soon be able to make more sales than you ever have before.
- Fill Out Your Profile
Every genuine Fiverr seller should take this simple step.
Fill out your profile with all of the relevant information.
If you have any social media accounts, connect them all.
For non-native English speakers, take the English proficiency test.
If your profile is incomplete or half-filled, it conveys the impression that you are a fly-by-night seller.
Buyers want to know that you are a real person who is dedicated to his profession.
- Optimize the title of your gig
When you’re creating your gig, be sure to use the proper title.
Because you can’t edit the title after the gig goes live, it’s critical to get it correctly the first time.
Make sure the title of your gig corresponds to the services you provide.
Incorporate KEYwords into the title to improve its searchability.
You can identify the best keywords to utilize by typing a word into the Fiverr search field and checking where it ranks among the auto-suggested results.
The first few words indicate the most commonly searched keywords.
If the word you type doesn’t appear in the search suggestions at all, it’s safe to infer that few people are looking for it, therefore you should avoid it.
Keep it basic and easy to understand by avoiding unnecessarily long and confusing gig titles.
Consider that if a title is too long when it appears on the homepage, visitors will not be able to see the entire thing.
- Offer different packages
Fiverr sprang to prominence as the marketplace where you can get anything done for $5.
Except for the most basic services, that pricing is now reserved for everything except the most basic services.
You could be missing out on a lot of potential clients who are looking for different levels of service if you don’t offer a tiered service.
Offering numerous tiers simply means offering several packages ranging from basic (lowest) to advanced (highest); how you arrange your packages is entirely up to you.
However, the overarching idea should be that higher-level packages must provide more value for the more cost.
You want to make things as simple as possible for your clients by giving them choices.
- Don’t Forget to Tag It Correctly
When consumers search for specific terms on Fiverr, tags make it easier for them to find your gigs.
The tags you use should be words that describe the services you provide.
Buyers won’t be able to locate you if you tag yourself incorrectly unless they already have a direct link to that particular gig, which is rare.
Tags are an important aspect of the Fiverr search algorithm and should not be overlooked.
- Provide Services That You Enjoy
You will fail in the long term if you start a gig just for the aim of making money.
Working on something you despise gets exhausting after a while.
Work motivation will deteriorate with time until even the most fundamental activities become difficult to do.
Your job will suffer, and your customers will be dissatisfied.
It doesn’t mean you have to be continually enthusiastic about what you do, though it certainly helps;
It simply means that work should not make you feel dreadful at the prospect of doing it.
6. It’s Vital to Have Good Images
The gig image is the first thing most people see, aside from the gig title.
Consider it a stunning product packaging design in a store.
Attractive, eye-catching graphics grab the customer’s attention and make them want to learn more.
The more eyes on your gig, the more likely it is that they will make a buy.
The number of clicks you receive is influenced by the quality of your image, and the more clicks you have, the higher your gig will rank.
What types of gig images work best are determined by the type of work being offered, however, there are some general guidelines to follow:
The resolution should be 550 by 370 pixels; it is preferable to have a little higher resolution to avoid pixelation; just make sure the aspect ratio remains the same and the file size does not exceed 5MB.
Keep your images simple with legible language; cluttering the gig image will make it difficult for the reader to see.
Keep in mind that your concert image will be viewed on a number of screen sizes, so plan accordingly.
Use all three slots and include work samples of what they can expect if they order from you if you have more than one gig image.
Buyers are clever, and they will run a reverse image check to discover whether the image is actually yours if you use other people’s work or plagiarize information.
- Make a video to promote your gigs.
According to Fiverr’s own internal data, gigs that include a video explaining what they do rank higher and sell for 220 percent more.
Even with this information from Fiverr, the majority of people don’t have a video as part of their gig.
There is a lot of free video creation software out there that you may use to make a 30-second to 120-second clip.
You can hire one of the many video creators on Fiverr if you don’t have the necessary skills.
You can even utilize barter to get your first sale by locating someone who is likewise new and asking them to make a video in exchange for them purchasing a comparably priced service from you.
It’s a win-win situation for you both.
- Outside of Fiverr Promotion
The most popular method for increasing sales that you’ll hear advocated on the internet is to “simply promote your gigs on social media platforms and sales will stream in.”
It’s a popular adage for a reason: it’s an excellent tactic for attracting new buyers.
However, not everyone has the financial means to begin making ads or a significant audience to target.
Instead, I’d want to concentrate on a few simple yet effective measures that anyone, regardless of their skill level, can take.
Some of these tasks can be completed in minutes, while others may take a little longer.
- Complete Gigs as fast as possible
When you complete work swiftly, Fiverr loves it so much that it’s a metric they use to rate gigs.
Customers adore it, too.
Sellers frequently charge more for rapid delivery within 24 hours because they are so good.
Keep in mind that a fast delivery does not have to be accomplished in less than 24 hours.
It simply implies providing your job before the timer on your delivery timer runs out.
As an example, if your gig completion time is set to three days, you can do it in two days instead.
Avoid late deliveries and cancellations; remember that any negative feedback left by a consumer will be accessible to everyone and will never be deleted.
- Keep in touch and respond quickly
We are no longer restricted to working with folks within our immediate vicinity.
Working with anyone from anywhere is now possible thanks to platforms like Fiverr.
We can now work from anywhere, at any time of day or night, with the exception of when we need to sleep.
Customers are more inclined to order and contact a seller if they see them online because we live in a connected world.
As a result, staying logged in and having the “online now” status displayed on your profile page is ideal.
Because the majority of people own a smartphone, it’s a good idea to download the Fiverr app and link it to your Fiverr account.
When you are away from your laptop or PC, you will be able to be shown as available to buyers and get notifications and communications.
Keep in mind that your average response time to purchasers is displayed on Fiverr, so keep it as short as possible.
- All of Your Gig Inquiries should be Answered
Even if you aren’t interested in the employment, don’t dismiss it.
Your response rate has an impact on your seller level and future promotion opportunities.
Fiverr will constantly analyze your performance, and you must meet and maintain certain standards.
One of the factors is your response rate.
Poor performance can also result in lower-ranking sellers being demoted from their existing position.
Unfortunately, Fiverr does not have the capability to filter out spam messages so that they do not affect your response rate at the time of writing.
Ignoring emails is generally a bad habit; you have no way of knowing who might end up purchasing your gigs.
- For the Buyer’s Request Section, create a Generic Gig.
While browsing the buyer’s gig request section, I found that the vast majority of consumers utilize it to look for services that aren’t available through the homepage search.
Either they’re seeking a better deal than what the primary search results have to offer, or they need specialized work done.
Fiverr will prompt you to attach an active gig you already have when sending offers to customers in the gig request section.
This can be a problem if your gigs don’t match what the consumer is looking for, making it less likely that he will hire you.
One solution I discovered for this problem is to create a second generic job inside the areas you specialize in.
This generic call-to-action gig can be used for any bespoke gig requests that aren’t already covered by your existing services.
- Provide unlimited revisions and other benefits
You can provide a variety of incentives on your jobs to assist increase purchases, including:
Free unlimited revisions; however, be warned that some buyers may take advantage of this by repeatedly requesting modifications.
The shortest period for express delivery is 24 hours.
Keep in mind that you must complete the task within the allotted time.
A Money-back guarantee is available.
Just like with limitless delivery, some clients may take advantage of this by canceling your job after it has been delivered and saying it isn’t up to par, allowing you to labor for free.
- Bad Reviews can be the icing on the cake.
The reviews, if I had to pick one factor that may make or break a gig, would be it.
I cannot emphasize how important it is to have positive evaluations; they assist to make your gig appear more enticing by providing social proof of your competence to potential buyers.
Gigs with a majority of 5-star evaluations will be ranked higher than those with no or negative feedback.
Good reviews aren’t difficult to come by.
Most consumers, in my experience, will leave a 5-star rating if you deliver work on schedule and according to their instructions.
To any newcomers out there, I recommend ensuring that the first 5 to 10 reviews you receive are all 5 stars.
If you ever get a review that isn’t 5 stars (which you will if you’ve been on Fiverr for any amount of time), do so after you’ve finished ten 5 star ratings.
Because all sellers’ ratings are exposed to the public, a seller with a 3/5 rating, even if he or she has a majority of positive reviews, will not appear as good when compared to similar services with higher review levels.
Additionally, before you can be promoted to a higher seller level on Fiverr, you must maintain a minimum review percentage of 90 out of 100 for several months.
- Use the Fiverr Affiliate Program to make money.
Fiverr has an affiliate network that you can use to generate visitors to their site and earn a percentage on any first-time sales made if you already have a following through a blog or YouTube channel.
If you’re already providing content that aligns with what’s on Fiverr, you can promote relevant Fiverr services.
This is a great method to supplement your income from Fiverr services without having to do any of the work yourself.
However, because this advice isn’t directly related to increasing sales on Fiverr, it won’t affect your gigs in any way, so consider it as a bonus tip to help you make $100 dollar per day on Fiverr.
Conclusion
On Fiverr, you don’t achieve good sales by implementing just one idea.
Instead, it’s a mixture of several ways, the majority of which are listed in this page.
It doesn’t mean that following every suggestion you may find is the only way to succeed on Fiverr.
It’s all about combining as many concepts as possible, from the simplest to the most complicated.
The more you do, the better your chances are of succeeding.
I hope the tips in this article will be useful to you in some manner, whether you are a complete newbie or someone who has some expertise with the platform.
