  • The best tip I can give you is to promote your fiverr gig outside of the site itself.

    • Thanks for the tip Chris
  • I never had any luck with fiverr... but then again, I don't know of anything that I would do for $5.
  • Some things I have been doing is selling PLR books on fiver. Its incredibly easy and you can actually get things rolling quickly when you get a few orders under your belt. Also, selling basic image creation (such as Facebook Fan Page images, Craigslist Image Ads, etc) is a great way to think outside the box
  • Have a look at the best selling fiverr gigs and then offer something better!
  • The most obvious answer is that you're either offering something which no-one wants or you're offering something in an area where one or more people are offering better value.

    • Theres some amazing tips and advice so far, thanks guys
  • You can look in the 'requests' bar on the lower right hand side of your section (ie the Writing or Programming or w/e section): if someone is requesting your product, send them a private message pointing them toward your product.

  • Bribe a couple people to buy from you and get a couple ^ reviews. With so many vendors to choose from now I almost never buy from someone with no reviews yet.

    • You're not utilising your Warrior signature.

      If you've got any gigs that would benefit the Internet Marketing crowd, you should link them in your signature.

    Social bookmarking is also a way to go. And yeah you need some reviews, it helps others want to purchase from you.
  • I'm afraid I can't help much. I tried to find a researcher through there a few weeks ago but got no response. Try the "wanted" section right here on Warrior instead.
  • How about offering a review service for gigs?

    • This might be a plan lol
  • There are bunch of bs gigs on fiverr. The ones I see with a lot of success is either very unique, article writing, artistic gigs, graphics, video editing type gigs.

    Social media is best way for Fiverr advertising in my opinion.
  • Try to get featured, also have someone design you better looking images/videos for the listings. If anyones interested i have 3 unique fiverr products, all set up on the site (+ drop ship) for sale.
  • fiverr is great for buyers, but selling there is horrible.

  • I have a few Fiverr gigs up. One of them averages 2 order a day which I am very proud of. trying to figure out where the visitors are coming from. When I ask my clients how they find my gigs they say through my signature from internet marketing forum or they got recommended by a friend.

    So, I guess just do some free advertising outside of Fiverr and things will pick up.

  • Maybe create a group on Facebook and start by inviting all your friends first to put yourself out there. Always good to promote outside of fiverr in classified site like craiglist and etc.
  • How would someone go about "review" gigs? Like what would I do as a seller on Fiverr if I wanted to offer review gigs to first X amount of people?
  • A friend of mine has a gig which I help promote from time to time and that gig has had more than 90 orders. It's a Facebook fans gig.

    What I usually do is look if anyone is looking for the service that my friend's offering. You'll see what people are looking for in the right sidebar. If I see someone looking for the kind of gig she was offering, I instantly contact them with a link to the gig. And most of these buyers buy from her again and again because her service is fast and have never had a single negative review.

    The best way to promote a gig is by driving traffic from outside Fiverr. External traffic is very valuable to the Fiverr mods. If you can get enough external traffic to your gig and if that gig has made several sales, you can ask them to consider your gig for featured listing.

    As mentioned by gravtex, putting a signature link here will greatly help.

    • Good tip but isn't the pay of Fiverr too small?

    • This is excellent information - I have so far never really been able to work out why some gigs are considered great by the Fiverr mods. I shall keep this one in mind.

  • you need to watch yourself on fiverr. they really are screwing me over. i had a paypal account attached to them, but the account became limited which means i couldnt get money out of there. so i simply went and switched the paypal account attached to my fiverr account and withdrew my money.

    well, they still sent it to my old accound. so i instantly refunded the money and sent a letter to them. they said i needed to send 500 different document to the to switch accounts. this wasnt listed anywhere when i switched it though! so i sent them the info and said now please send the money to my account. i get another response saying they dont accept incoming money from paypal so they dont have my money and that is an issue for paypal. paypal of course says the money has been refunded to fiverr.

    so basically, fiverr just stole $246 from me

    • Apart from all the $1 fees that they 'steal' from us sellers, losing $246 like that is just not right. That must have sucked!
    • That sounds bad but doesnt surprise me. I am not a seller but as a regular buyer, I've found that 5rr doesn;t look after its customers so it doesn;t shock me to hear your story, just really disappoints me.

      I had bought a block of 4 gigs off a guy who lied his way around the "complete" date without ever delivering anything at all. But he is still offering and selling on 5rr. He wouldnt answer any of my messages so I contacted support.

      All I asked was that they get in touch with him to get him to complete my order (they can see exactly what was NOT delivered). No, the job was "completed" and I would have to contact the seller myself even though I had already told them he didnt answer.

      5rr is a great concept but the people running it are suspect. Good luck with your efforts to collect your money.
