My first fiverr gig, and I only posted yesterday!

First of all Congratulation for your order. I am still trying but no results...I hope i will get some orders soon.

Congrats Ruth M. and hope you keep getting those orders. Are your gigs IM related?

Congrats! Now rinse, lather and repeat!

And get your services up on all of the most well known fiverr-type sites... to maximize your sales!

Very cool... I also make money on fiverr (it is quite possible).. I have made literally hundreds of dollars in the past few months doing tiny jobs! I also post the gigs on related sites to increase the possibility of someone buying my services..

Other sites:

MiniMoneyJobs.com
Zeerk.com
Gigbucks.com

and lots more... just do a google search!

What gigs did you put up? Care to share?

Thanks for the tips! Now that I have seen how easy it can be, I will definitely look into more sites. And yes, @big bank, my gigs are all IM related. I just took things I have learned how to do myself, and posted that I could do them for someone else. I am also finding that my Health PR3 website is actually a great way to offer some gigs from, like offering permanent backlinks on it. That is what I got my first order for this morning

Congrats at least with some success it pushes you further and maybe even help those who are putting it off.

congratz! keep it going. Request for feedback/review from the person who bought your gig would definitely helps.

CONGRATS realnetworker.I always wondering what can be done for $5.This post has been useful in a way to know how things actually work in sites like fiverr.Makes me excited about the site.Will check it soon to see if I can offer something over for little five.

Here's a tip: what pictures are you using for the fiverr ads? They should be related to the offer. People will click on something funny, wierd or outrageous! That should increase your conversion rates and help you stand out from the crowd.

Thank you for sharing your story! Rinse and repeat, and keep tweaking the copy/page for better results

Congratulation, keep it up

Hi Ruth:
I'm no expert on Fiverr,But I have read that you can post as many as 20 gigs.
You know what they say the more the better (or was that merrier) I thought I would pass that on. You might know this but if you didn't then why not try it.

Reviews really do make the difference in how many orders you get.

Often, people will order my gigs with the highest reviews even if they don't quite need them - just to see what all the fuss is about.

Treat your Fiverr customers well and you'll get a lot more orders than you can handle

Let me start by saying CONGRATULATIONS realnetworker, on getting some success going with Fiverr.

I have found that creating several Gigs that are the "Push Button" type can allow you the most flexibility with managing a large amount of orders. For example, becoming a knowledge broker for products (i.e. - eBooks, Methodology, turnkey pre-made services) can allow you to quickly turnaround gigs in under 24 hours. Quick turnaround seems to make a good bit of difference for folks when they need something done to same them time.

Take a notepad and start brainstorming on things you already know how to do. Make sure they are things you can do efficiently.

Many workers on Fiverr have a tendency to get overwhelmed by only doing gigs. While this can land you some income, you need to discipline your time and allow yourself room to learn new things you can offer. You will get burned out if you go at it non-stop. I made that mistake on my first pass. It finally got to the point that I had to shut my old account down because I simply couldn't make it worth my time for the complexity of the gigs that I was offering. I found myself spending an hour on one task because I offered to do TOO MUCH.

Keep it simple, quick and look for other highly rated gigs that others are needing and you will do fine.

P.S. - I scoop up a lot of ideas and new business by simply refreshing the page from time to time and looking at what others are asking for in the lower-right side of the screen. The other day I simply answered a question for someone and landed a $4 profit for two minutes of my time.

To Your Huge Success!

Congratulations on your success and Fiverr is a great way to get your gigs going. $5 may not seem much to others but it's definitely a start and you can rinse and repeat.

Congrats & keep it up I didn't have any luck with fiverr but wish you all the best

Cool a huge congratulation, I hope you will manage to boost it up and make it somehow more effective so you can make more money :-)

If your Warrior Forum account is trusted, put your gig in your signature. I know at least I would be willing to check it out. All you need is 3 positive reviews and your gig will sky rocket after that.

Congrats on the first job! I'm thinking about starting a fiverr venture myself!

your gigs are great example to how almost anyone can offer stuff he owns/know/do the best.and it works!

Just remeber to focus on who you want to target first and then take action on it!

it all has to do with these things.

1) Your offer and type of gig

2) Your headline (this is a big one)

3) Your description

4) How you are getting traffic to your gig (this is a big one too)

Alot of people just post gigs thinking they will make 200 a day doing this. But you need to find a great way to get targeted traffic to your gig asap. Then if you have a good gig it will sort of go viral.

I wrote an article on my site about fiverr gigs, and I think if you can market it well enough, the best gig to do would be a 30 second to 2 min. video gig. Those you can pump out fast, and really it's a matter of creating an identity for yourself. Sometimes getting a little crazy (whether it's in a costume) or your personality can help drawn people in :0

Thanks for all your input and ideas everyone! I gleaned quite a bit out of this. I am a bit limited in what I can offer as gigs for the moment. I have to stick with what I know I am able to deliver in time. Being a full-time, stay-at-home mom, I can not always sit at the computer whenever I wish. So at this time, I have to allow enough time in my turnaround to make sure that I can always deliver on time. I want to keep my name good! As far as pictures and videos, I still need to get a camcorder, which is next on the list for equipment to buy. I am thinking of everything I could possibly offer that is fast and worth five bucks. I have a few more ideas

Congratz.. hope you'll be making more money soon through it

I joined Fiverr a month ago and looked through the sites at the gigs people were offering, wrote down what I thought I could do and then wrote my own gigs. I got a gig immediately it was typing up an audio - biggest mistake ever. It took me ages to write the 1st one and I had another 5 to do!! The amount of time it would have taken to type them all up, format it etc. would have not been worth the $5. So I gave the buyer the 1st write up for free and apologised for the inconvenience caused.

I have now gone back to the drawing board and looking at gigs that will be more time effective - I have a huge list to get started on, just taking my time to set everything up at the start so I'm good to go.

I definitely see Fiverr as a great money maker if used properly!

That's Awesome Ruth Keep it up!

congrats! with fiverr you have to drive people to that page posting the link on forums and having other recommend you will help increase your orders !
