Getting Orders on Fiverr

10 replies
Hi Everybody,

My son and his girlfriend just moved in. Needless to say, I need to generate additional income. I know it's not much, but I thought I'd try Fiverr.

I posted a few writing gigs. But, because I don't have a rating yet... I'm not getting orders.

I've been posting them on Twitter, already. Your suggestions are appreciated.

Merry

    Hello Merry,

    Have you tried subscribing for a thread on the 'Warriors For Hire' section of this forum?

    Hello! :-) Another possibility... see if you can develop a relationship with an
    article writing service to handle some of their overflow order volume. You
    can also look into teaming up with solo practitioners to help them handle
    sudden spikes in order volume. Many writers (not all) are very mercurial
    and fly-by-night. If you establish yourself as someone who is generally
    reliable, you'll have to disconnect your computer from the Internet to stop
    the orders from coming in. (Another tip... a certain percentage of your
    customers will hate you with a passion. Another percentage will really
    love you. Most will be somewhere in between. Don't take it personally.)

      Very well said. When you encounter a client who was not born to appreciate anything good about your content, just move on. Don't lose your grip to your passion to write. Maintain and improve your standards in writing. Be on top of your customer service. People will love your services.

        I suggest your son and his girlfriend sign up for Fiverr, too. :rolleyes:

        What kinds of pets do you write about?

    What kind of subjects can you write about?? Can you give me an idea?

    I would also join the "Warriors for Hire" forum as suggested before.

    Also do some SEO for your fiverr gig. You need to create a buzz around it. Its all about Promote, Promote, Promote

    Also if you would like to PM I will give you my personal email address, where you can send me samples of your work.

    Hi! I also have some gigs on Fiverr and it does help me earn especially when I don't have projects yet. When you're still new there, it's normal that you won't get any orders during the first weeks. I experienced that too. I did not have the chance to do some SEO work on my Fiverr profile but when I got my first order, I made sure to do the task well to get a positive rating. After that, orders naturally flow regularly. Just wait for a while and I'm sure you will get your orders soon. Make your profile description comprehensive so that the buyers will appreciate you more :-)

    I make quite a bit of money on fiverr. At the start to get orders what I did was create a youtube video for each gig using camtasia screen recorder.

    I also added a video onto each gig page. Worked very well.
