My Fiverr seller experience..Bowing out gracefully?

I think u should get a job somewhere where u can work more on your skills.

These Gigs are very general and not many people will buy your gigs.

Maybe checkout fiverr blog and see the success stories of people and see what they do.
Try to emulate those gigs.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that you're predominantly relying on Fiverr to deliver productive traffic to your gigs. Seller ratings are beneficial for ranking, and thus traffic, and of course perception, and thus conversions, but the initial stages of your Fiverr business should be defined by looking beyond Fiverr for traffic and using Fiverr itself merely as an eCommerce platform. No idea about the kind of gigs you offer, but consider this: think about where your target audience hang out, and promote to them. You might need to look to forums, Facebook and Google-Plus groups, and you might want to spread the word by growing social platforms, pages on FB and G+, an account on Twitter, and wherever else you believe that target market can be reached.

MY experience is good for fiverr selling i get more support for selling gigs on SEO Based work

You should start selling things people need.

Re-write articles. If you do a good job you will end up "swamped."

I've been on Fiverr for years...

Lately I've seen a HUGE drop in sales, I'm pretty sure it has to do with seller responsiveness... since I don't always get the last word in, mine is down at 80% so they don't send many people my way these days!

fiver is the worst place where you can be, period.

freelancer.com takes 3 - 10 % fees per job

while fiver takes a whopping 53.65 % as many of the warriors calculated:

seller gets 3.40 $,

2.10 $ are lost in comissions and fees,

buyer pays 5.50 $

I've never sold on Fiverr, so I'm giving this to you from a buyer's perspective...which is really what you need anyway.

When I log into Fiverr, I have a very specific thing that I'm looking for. A few days ago, it was a logo and today, it's an explainer script. I've also looked for various other things as well but they were always super-specific....and I've never once bought something there on a whim. Others probably do, but I personally don't.

So when I look at your available gigs, I don't see anything there that I would intentionally visit Fiverr for. Anyone can leave a positive review, for example, so you're choosing to face massive competition for very little profit. The other review jobs are the same thing- its a very common service there and impossible to be original.

But then I see you offer proofreading and designing business cards...which makes me wonder if you have some creative talent. If so, this is where 100% of your focus should be.

Also, I saw on your Amazon job it ends with "...or provide helpful..." What was that going to say if you had more space? Can you show me how to optimize my Amazon listing for $5? Because that's more of a unique thing that would make you stand out.

Ultimately, whether you quit or not is squarely on your own shoulders. You should, however, quit trying to be like the 1,000,000 others that will write product reviews and commit to an actual specialty. Practice designing logos if you're good with art or create other unique services that nobody else offers....and then you have the makings of a steady income.

Two final tips- there are far too many words in your videos. The screen looks crowded and I lost interest....so invest from a few designers on Fiverr and get great explainer vids. It will certainly help with conversions.

And here's another thing. I actually thought about buying a review from you on one of my social channels for my business....until I saw that it can take up to seven days! Others promise reviews in an hour or two, so you're literally cutting your own throat here. Either you're the review guru that everyone loves (like a top 500 on amazon) or you're super-fast. That's the only two options to get jobs in this niche.

I hope that helped.

I recently started with FIVERR as well and I use Fiverr to get me my Premium coaching students for 1 on 1 coaching...And I don't get clients everyday but weekly i get between 5-10 clients and of those clients on a weekly basis 3-5 of them end up paying for my premium 1 on 1 coaching. Mind you this started before i even had any level marked, i'm only 2 months in on Fiverr.

You just have to put Gigs people look for and also check how your competitors are doing on their gigs, then make yours even better than theirs: I suggest adding more spice to it.

Goodluck.

Fiverr is the easiest to get start with, you can ask your friends relatives to buy a few gigs to start with. It's hard to start with no sales no review.

quality SEO services can keep your profiles full with positive reviews.

Yes I did check out for my own WordAi...It sounds like an article spinner, but a much more accurate one than some of the others.


So I am hearing from all sides, that I have chosen "too general" gigs, and that I might possibly benefit from a video made in an explainer or voiceover style. As for the "general" state of them, I was under the impression that I had to go for the "low hanging fruit"...


I am trying to decide whether or not to delete the Amazon reviews gig...Tsk,tsk. Did not realize that was going to be such a bad idea (I made sure I looked it up to make sure I was not listing anything that was against the TOS, etc.)

You need to learn how to be a "marketer" 1st. Business model won't help you if you jump from opportunity-to-opportunity if you don't know how to market your products/services successfully. Learn internet marketing, and learn how to sell ANYTHING online. This is your 1 true problem with selling online... and with selling on Fiverr. Selling is a complex thing to do - online or off. You need to learn how to sell - and sell consistently - everyday.

Why is it surprising that Amazon is cracking down on paid reviews? You had to know it was coming, so why even start a Fiverr gig for this in the first place?

I've generated over $19,000 since joining fiverr 4 years ago. Yeah $19,000

Fiverr is the real deal...

No website or fancy sales page needed. Great for newcomers to get a little wet behind the ears.

Through my fiverr gigs I have multiple streams of income that are marketed and generate commissions with.

I'm going to be blunt here and you might not like what you hear but based on your thread its your mindset that is holding you back....

Only thing is use fiverr for these days are graphical gigs like logo/banner design.
But from a customer POV.. if i see a gig with less then 20 sales i wont buy it. So i guess if you want your gig to roll you will need to manipulate your rating on it. Also video sales pitch is better then some pictures.

I think we started the same way on Fiverr. I really liked the idea of the platform and am a passionate writer so I posted a 300 word article for 5$ gig. In first week I was lucky to get someone interested who did, after being very impressed with my writing, bought 10 gigs and in 2 months I was easily Level 2 seller making more than 200$ per week.

My advice is to focus not on good, not on great, but on the best writing. I've consistently delivered best writing pieces to my clients and got rewarded with 5 stars incredible reviews, propelling future business. However, the initial attention is vital - get to Level 2 stage, even if it means buying the reviews - if you're an incredible writer your earnings will improve dramatically.

P.S.: Stick to it when it does skyrocket. I got a regular job after crossing the 3000$ revenue and 200+ 5 star reviews and had to cancel more than 100 orders because of it and Fiverr does not like that one bit. Now I feel incredible need to write again but there are just too few orders coming in.

EPoltrack77 I took the bait and downloaded your report...I had nothing to lose, as they say :-)

dealing with douchebags is soul destroying for sure. You have to avoid at all costs or not waste any time/effort with them.

The worst negative before this is the fact that sellers can automatically get a "cancelled order, seller failed to deliver in time!" negative and that can really sideswipe one's business.....unless you are Level 2 or Top Rated and only on occasion. I found out the system does that, not just the buyer....A misunderstanding like that happened to me one time...I contacted the buyer and attempted to make things right and she swore up and down she didn't rate me down like that...I see where it has happened to other sellers, almost like a proxy or something. But I had to delete that particular gig to keep from getting sunk prematurely. Lesson learned.

You should find out which gigs are easy and high in demand. Pick them and start delivering. If done you could more than $70 a day alone.

What I don't understand is why concentrate on something that's going to make you $5 (less Fiverrs cut) when you can concentrate on high ticket sales and put in the same work and achieve better results. It's just as easy to sell something high ticket as low ticket in my opinion. What's the appeal of being a seller on Fiverr.com ??

Please let me know

Do yourself a favor, stay here on this forum and learn. There is no better place to be.

Oh, one other thing...Anybody here heard of Jerry Duling (who has a program called the "Fiverr ATM formula" Anyone used or heard of this?

Dude, Fiver is full of competition, those niches are like territories there and for each niche there is its big dawg!, My advice is go to freelancer, build your profile and portfolio and you are good to go.

You really like the words "craft", "review", "authentic", "verified"....all words I would stay away from.. If a gig is not performing, pause it and start again. don't buy reviews. Preview Images need to sell you as a quality provider, and unfortunately that is not my impression.

All of these things you can easily change.

Looks like you got the whole thing backwards. I purchase a lot on Fiverr and i'm not interested in the services you propose.

Start with finding what people are buying first. Then provide this service with better quality or at a lower price than other fiverr sellers.

Cheers,

C.G.

Fiverr is a great platform to be posting your skill but there are more sites that you can use your skills more. Try applying it in elance or odesk. Its your time to go somewhere and seek for it in more sites so that you can have a greater chance of landing a job.
