How to promote a fiverr gig?

I use to promote them on my web pages. Sadly, um FIVERR is no longer giving out HTML code like before to create promos. Therefore it requires more work on your part to create listing on your own posts or pages. Mostly, you can use Google to point to your web site and then convince people they should order your gigs.

Do not rely on fiverr for your traffic as you will not get very many uniques. I was getting a few per month, but it was pennies. Please remember that you only get $3.92 per gig. That means a lot of orders to make some money.

Also, not every order is a conversion. There are people who will not like your service. In fact, they can demand a refund from you. Fiverr now holds my money 20 days before they send it off to pay pal, and this can only get worse.

Best solution is to create your own gigs. Then do not go thru Fiverr, but list them on your site and ask for more than $5 each, such as $25 or more. People will pay. That is if you have an excellent service. Problem is to have first build up an awesome rep.

I too agree with seobro. Fiverr has started to see dollar signs and are really making their site lowbrow. Other high sellers on fiverr know the tricks to getting their gigs listed.

There is black hat techniques that you can use to get listed high on Fiverr, but I wouldn't recommend them. This is the only thing I know to tell you! Sorry, but Fiverr got disinteresting a long time ago for me when they started selling those spammy backlinks for $5!

try to find some fiverr community group in facebook or twit your gig including #fiverr

1. Get yourself on the alternative sites (fiverr clones). Some of these sites get lots of traffic and people are making good money on their gigs
2. Join niche forums and post your gig. I have many gigs up on fiverr that get 10-20 sales per day just from referrals off of these types of forums.

I think not only sell a gig but also sell your skill
There are some ideas to improve your gigs/skills sales:

1. Build your gigs to another freelancer forum like:
odesk.com
freelancer.com
elance.com
vworker.com
peopleperhour.com
freelanced.com
project4hire.com
ifreelance.com
superlancers.com
freelanceswitch.com
hiretheworld.com
freelancers.net

2. If you really have special skill, you can try to build a thread on WSO section or Warrior for hire. I think you can earn much money by there.

3. Use social media like FB, Twitter, Linkedin, Youtube, etc to promote your skills and sell them

4. Build a simple site (I recommend a landing page) about your skill's service and then advertise it using free and paid advertisement, you can buy google adwords coupon if you want

Good luck

optimze your tags having a video really helps

Spend 5$ and buy a Fiverr gig that will help you promote your gig. I used to offer a Twitter advertising service on Fiverr and had a lot of other Fiverr users that bought my gig to promote their gig.

Just be careful to order a valuable gig that will actually get you some traffic.

There is a link in Fiverr under each gig to promote it. So I did and wanted to share my new gig to my twitter followers. But twitter didn't publish the tweet and gave me an error that the link was of spammy nature. How come? It was just the link to my fiverr gig.

I only use fiverr for outsourcing purpose as I don't believe that $5 worth my time even thinking out of the box .. Fiverr is so huge, that your gig simply gets lost..try first to optimize your gigs ..upload a video ..get positive feedbacks..etc than do forums marketing,article marketing,video marketing,classified ads,soloads,facebook groups,twitter,fiverr clones ..etc the first thing I consider as outsourcer are feedback's and time of delivery .

I join some facebook groups related with my gigs for get more orders.

Add a video to your gig - a gig without a video is a very effective way to blend in with 90% of the gigs on Fiverr. That's a winning strategy for a rodent at the bottom of the food chain but YOU want to stand out! Videos entice clicks, plus you'll be able to explain in much more detail what your gig is all about.

I try to upsell my other gigs to people who buy my gigs. Also, I encourage them to 'collect' my gig.

If you really want your sales to EXPLODE, you should offer EXPRESS services (stuff that is due in 24 hours).

hello,
i have gigs on my fiverr, but i do not have a webcam to create a video...
how am i going to go about it in creating videos for my gig

Sig links on warrior forum works nicely, besides that you have to have gigs that are slightly different than all the others or you'll never get any customers.

I am also facing this problem, My fiverr Gigs are not getting enough views and order. I got only 5 order in one month. Only 400 views in one month.
