I wanted to blog about fiverr..

So I joined up the other day and set up a gig to write a health related article etc. (Wanted to experience it as a seller rather than a buyer)

The hordes of people I imagined beating down my door to employ my services just haven't materialised , there is so much stuff on there how does anyone ever get their stuff noticed. (A future WSO idea perhaps from someone who knows how to use Fiverr effectively)

    Kim, maybe it's time to check out the WSO on how to get clients [offline] paying you $97 for the same amount of work?

      I'm only planning on doing the one (maybe 2) articles, I have no intention of setting up a biz writing articles for a fiver each (God forbid). I just thought it would be interesting to be able to write about Fiverr from a sellers perspective.

      Maybe not one of my brightest ideas.

        Or you're putting up one gig that doesn't really appeal to that many buyers and saying it doesn't work.

        Why not try another gig and see if you can then "blog" about it if you are serious about this? Or 10 gigs? Or give it some more time?

    You've got to sell yourself, since they only give you a paragraph worth of space you might have to lean a little towards the cheesy side.

    Also it'll pick up much more once you get a couple of initial orders completed.

    On sites like that people are always looking for the feedback. If you have none then it's not good. Kind of like having no credit, it's not bad credit but there's still no credit which is still bad.

    No feedback is bad, maybe not as bad as negative feedback but still bad.

    If you'd like I'll hire you for an article or two on there just to get your initial feedback going.

    Hope that helps

    the title is the most important thing in anything on the net, and in papers and magazines as well. Look at all the Face Book fan pages with rude or offending titles that have millions of fans.

    I myself have not managed to get alot of customers via fiverr,
    But i think you should add alot of tags and submit your fiverr gig to some Social Bookmarking sites to increase your visibility.

    Personally when I use Fiverr as a buyer I immediately sort the gigs by feedback so if you're brand new I'd never see you. Too much risk for me - even at $5 - when there are some very talented and reliable providers. As several posters have said - getting that first bit of positive feedback is the struggle. Ideas on how to achieve that from successful sellers...?

      Hello Kim

      There is no magic science in making your offer noticed at fiverr but you have to be there and watch what many people are buying.

      Then check to see how competitive your GIGS are.

      You may have an excellent service but your inability to project what you can do so that it will be obvious and give buyers more reasons to patronize you is what will make all the difference.

      Once you get the first and second sales, it will start pouring.

      Good luck!

      Richard is dead right...

      I once ordered something and the seller was obviously so in shock that finally someone ordered from him - it took him weeks to reply but by then I already moved on...

      Very nice post Azzams.

      @Kim

      Thanks for posting. I fully understand what you were doing.

      I have been suggesting to a few people that they might try fiverr just to get their feet wet. Clearly, there's a lot more to it than just posting a good offer - as yours undoubtedly was.

    Here are the rules of Fiverr...

    1) We don't talk about the rules of Fiverr.
    2) Make sure that your tags are optimized, and a good trick is to using the search filter, and find some of the highest rated gigs. These guys most often than not will have their tags optimized, you can just copy them.
    3) You should always over deliver your first few gigs so you will get some positive feedback.
    4) WE DON'T TALK ABOUT THE RULES OF FIVERR!
    5) Use the request section area to find people looking for your kind of gig, and just e-mail them a sample, friendly message, and link to your gig. This accounts for almost half of my orders on my gigs that don't have a lot of feedback.
    6) Set aside 15 mins a day to do the above, and always make sure you respond to questions.
    7) We don't... yes well you know.

    I believe that this has been discussed before? An extra browsing in fiverr daily increases the chance that your gigs will be noticed.

    I thought you were looking to blog about fiverr. The title is a little confusing

    It doesn't pay much but it certainly pays out. Blogging is not that easy anymore, you need to continue working on it and have a huge marketing plan. People can't read what they can't see and what they didn't hear off

    A bit sketchy but...

    Since most of us sort searches by popularity or rating, you'd get quite a bit more business if you were towards the top of that sorted list.

    1. Make sure you include any possible keywords that someone might search for to find your gig.
    2. Get 25-30 friends/family to buy your gig. Make sure they leave feedback. You can give them their money back offline and it only cost you $1 per gig to get the feedback.

    A bit sketchy, but I'd imagine it's effective.

    Its all about traffic when it comes to getting noticed. I edited my fiver earnings from my lastest WSO because it was to long for Youtube, but its about traffic. Each gig you create has traffic stats (some dont know this), and Fiverr pays close attention to how many UV your receiving per day.

    Look at it this way, Fiverr is out to make as much money as they can, so having the most viewed gigs out front will help them pocket faster. So if you create a gig and its buried in a sea of gigs there is nothing to entice Fiverr to move out from under the rest of the non noticed gigs, so make a gig, get traffic to it and ur all set. Fiver will see it and put it in rotation.
    Easy peasy
