How to succeed with Fiverr?

I'm reading many times here on WF how many warriors are making some extra cash out of Fiverr, but I haven't been very lucky with Fiverr so far. I'd like to use Fiverr to make some extra cash, so I created my first gig 3 weeks ago (the gig is designing business cards), but till now I got only 2 views. I even posted the gig on my Facebook, but still no any luck.

I wonder how can I get more views for my gig and potentially get some sales as well? What am I doing wrong?

Also, maybe there is a problem with the Fiverr's backend, as when I go to "My Gigs" it shows: Active: 0 Suspended: 0 In Review: 0. However, below that is a green box with "Active" in it next to the name of my gig. So I'm not sure if my gig is even active, but when I search for the title of my gig on Fiverr, it finds it (on the last position tough).

    • Have a good product, make sure you please the customer. If you make logos, do revisions until they like it. Collect likes and good reviews, you'll be ranked higher and higher the more people like what you have to offer. Don't take on too much work, or all the work will suffer and that's not worth it. Just keep in mind that it takes a lot of work to make it big on Fiverr. You're only getting 5 bucks, sometimes more depending on how you price things, for a task you might elsewhere ask for much more. It all depends on what you're selling. Promote yourself on social networking sites or offer people specifically (answer to craigslist ads with a fiverr link to your service) and recruit that way.

    The problem is you have low views for your gig. You can:

    Ask blogger to exchange for your design with their post review about your gig.
    Put your gig on forum signature
    Upload video to youtube about how to make killer design with link on the description
    Create tutorial blog
    Banner ads
    Fan pages or fb group
    Skype mastermaind

    and more hard work to exposure your gigs.

    Track your competitors and offer better unique value.

    Make sure you have a video on your fiverr sales page (they convert better) and mention a limited free bonus to the first few (leave it ambiguous...IMO). Make sure to be specific about the bonus in your description as that is easy to change and will stimulate orders.

    Once a person orders be sure and stipulate that in order to receive their free bonus they must first

    1) Thumbs up the gig they purchased
    2) collect the gig
    3) Share it on Facebook (the twitter share isn't consistent right now).

    I do this and consistently get more orders from prospects.

    There are a whole slew of other tricks available but this should be something to get you some quick orders fast.

      Look at the successful gigs that offer business card design services and try to learn from them.

      Sort the gigs after highest rated and then analyse the to 10 gigs.

      Look at their

      - Headline
      - description
      - images/videos

      Then look at your gig and see what you can improve. Don't copy the to gigs but learn from them.

      Once your gig is perfect as far as headline, description and images/video are concerned you can start to market your gig. You can for example approach a blog owner and ask whether he or she would be willing to accept a guest post.
