starting out on fiverr? How to get orders?

Hey buddy, sorry to hear this. This is a common question for new Fiverr users. You need to target keywords, look for gigs which are successful and do that same gig but perhaps improve it somehow. I started a few weeks back and got no sales for 2 weeks, this past week I've had $72 worth of orders.

Target keywords, look for successful gigs and improve and sell the gigs yourself.

Market your gig online and offline. You can use promotional products in marketing offline.

I did a bit of article writing a while back and started by offering 4 articles for $5 to get noticed and get myself out there. As the sales started coming in I slowly reduced down to 2 articles for $5 and found myself getting a lot of repeat customers. Its just a case of getting yourself started initially and pretty much giving you stuff away

Put your gig up on the top fiverr clones

Put your gig up on all the Fiverr clones, and post some on other freelance sites. And prepare a nice portfolio. Sometimes Fiverr might not be the most profitable, being filled with other gig providers offering the same service.

But if you really want to rank in Fiverr, do extensive research; see what others are using for keywords. Use attractive titles, and compelling descriptions.

Also, it's a must to upload a video. For some reason Fiverr really likes that.

1. Join the Fiverr group on LinkedIn.
2. Add related gigs, but not the exact same time of gigs, to your Fiverr collections, which appear in search results.
3. Create a YouTube video about your gig and post it with a link to your gig in the description.
4. Do good keyword research and if you cannot show up in the first page search results for those keywords on Fiverr, then choose some less competitive keywords. Make certain your keywords are in the title, description, and keyword field.
5. Take full advantage of the new 1200 word description allowance and use it up with long tail keywords and related keywords to your main keywords.
6. Join forums where the interest in your gig would be better than average and post your gig link in your signature.
7. Choose some cool looking photos that relate to your gig, upload them to Fiverr, and pin them on Pinterest (if possible - I haven't tried that one myself yet).

Just the usual suggestions for most part, but if you do some of them, it should help. Good luck!

I've been making $300 a month steady on Fiverr with 18 related gigs for the past 8 months. Nothing life changing, but I only have to copy/paste some links to fill all of the orders, so it's easy money for me.

Edited to add: Also, when you start getting orders, pay close attention over the next 3-6 months to the questions your buyers and potential buyers ask you. I've gained some valuable marketing information from doing this and I'm in the process of redoing all of my gigs.

I woudn't bother with the Fiverr clones.. I doubt they get 1% of Fiverr's traffic combined.

I found that the orders come in naturally.. Try just filling out your gig with lots of pictures and a video. Apparently if you have a video that ups your chance of landing sales.

I also just sign up on fiverr, I am still a bit confused as well as to begin

It's like everything else in IM.

If you know what you are doing and offer a good product, you can make a full time income on fiverr and the clones.

If you put a job up on fiverr or any of the top ten clones and didn't make sales, that is your fault.

Not only do I own a clone and make a HEFTY monthly income for myself, but I have fiverr gigs that make a combined $2 - $4,000 a month.

Don't listen to idiots that post on these threads that "clones suck, stay away from them".....these people don't own one and couldn't market their way out of a paper bag.

keywords should help a lot and find other sites to advertise on
that should work

What I'm doing is.. Analyse gigs that have lot of order and try to offer something better. My aim is to get some sales and positive feedback. After I have some good feedback, I found its pretty easy to get more sale.

You need a unique service, or a service that is high in demand... and examples of your work.

Here's a cool trick.

Type in the search section on Fiverr the services you hope to offer. Look for the first three or four gigs that all have good ratings. If they are very popular, LOOK AT THEIR TAGS IN THE PHOTO THAT THEY HAVE ON THEIR GIG.

USE THEIR EXACT TAGS ON YOUR GIGS.

Good Luck!

Make your title stand out, and keep the description to the point, a related image to your profile, and a short video of your gig. Without any effort on your part, it'll take at least 6 weeks before you see orders coming in. That has been my experience. It took me 3 full months to make it to the first level, an additional pair of weeks to the second. I now have been selling the same gig for a year, and have withdrawn a little over 300 bucks. Not much, but that's only one gig. Do the math. Hope that helps

Obviously if a clone differentiates itself enough, or fills in a niche that Fiverr isn't, then they might be worth while, but for the majority of clone sites you'll find they are empty shells with no traffic. Just do your research and see if there's much going on on the site (alexa rank and word of mouth should be good indicators).

If you can find a good clone site that gets your traffic and orders, then use it as a nice addition to your income stream.

There is so much more flexibility on clones. I allow anything to be said in the description. I encourage keyword stuffing.

I also pay out in 7 days after job is complete.

I also allow up to $35 for jobs unlike fiverr where you have to become a level 2 seller just to be qualified to offer addons

Fiver is a waste of time i find. Links are useless in my opinion, try avoiding the blogroll links, that will just get you banned by google instantly. Do a bit of research before buying is what i'm saying.

Yes SEO is always on the menu for just about anything you may want to market online. But if like me you prefer make money in silence and keeping fiverr separate from your other business (in my case it could have been a branding conflict selling high priced products elsewhere... I have a fiverr proof strategy to start making money on fiverr that helped me generate a steady income on it with buyers dropping rave reviews for little effort in my part. 100% rating and top customer service. The gigs are products I use for my business that require a monthly subscription. So by selling my gigs for $5 I freed any potential buyer from worry about commitment to the service; almost no competition on fiverr. I only need a few orders to cover my own PRO memberships. Often buyers tell me they bought based only on my 100% rating and 100% good reviews overboard which also help my extra and my new gigs sell as a trickling effect and my seller perceived credibility. If you want to make money right away on Fiver this method may not be for you; this method is proven to help you bypass a lot of other sellers in the long term as you focus on quality over quantity. fiverr admin hand pick top seller based mainly on review and ratings; and you make the most money when you unlock those levels. I hope this helps.

I will be taking some of these tips as well. I am on Fiverr as well, and have no luck. I just have one guy who continues to come back and get articles from me.

Promote it to your list, put it in your existent blog as your "service". Your audiences have at least enough trust for you than some random passers by.

There's tons of information on LinkedIn. There's a group called (you'll need the exact name of it) "Official Fiverr Group for Sellers". It used to be a Closed Group - available by invitation only. They opened it up about a week ago.

Some of the sellers on there have been complaining about a slowdown for everyone because so many have climbed on the Fiverr Bandwagon. There are a few really successful sellers & they're very generous with their help.

There's one guy on Fiverr (named Justin), that's making BIG BUCKS there. He's shown his screenshots & he'd have no reason to lie. He's not selling anything (yet) on LI.

*Also, everyone everywhere says to put up a video on your gig. The reason being is that Fiverr pushes gigs with videos higher in their search rank. It makes sense. Videos make people buy - so push them up.

Good luck to you ~

To get orders, I would recommend that you start a blog, advertise on warrior forum or do it off the fiverr.com site. You probably want to promote it on facebook and twitter and tell people what you do. I hope that helps.

But don't just look for gigs that are success, you should actually add more value to it: how can i make this service better? What is lacking?
Any and every gig can be improved, and that'll make a big difference in the delivery of it.

Also, make sure you tell the prospect all the features that can be delivered in your gig. If you have 10 individuals doing back-linking services, well then you'll have to step up how you display YOUR backlinking service.

If you can do gigs on Fiverr, then heck, you can also give forums your service to.

Use the gigs wanted columns to tout for business!

I did this with a LOT of success when I first started. It built some decent feedback.

One technique that works for me is you use your gigs to UPSELL each other. I offer many services on Fiverr. When I complete one order, I include links to my other Fiverr gigs in the finished report. I've gotten orders this way. Your clients for one type of service are informed in a clear and effective way about your other services.

I'm a level two seller on Fiverr, I offer a good reliable service, and do many gigs of the same type. Likes, followers, shares, views, likes on a Facebook post, You Tube subscribers, Pinterest followers, Instagram followers, it's not all listed there, but I can do pretty much anything, I'm rowanman28 there. I also put the link to my Fiverr profile on my site. I always say at the end of my gigs, hope you are happy with this order, please leave a positive review and check out my other gigs, or let me know via a direct message if there are any problems. Don't want a bad review, it can hurt your sales, and I have 99% satisfaction from my customers.

I am new here but know about Fiverr.com well. Its not enough to create a new gig and wait for order. By doing so you will get no order.
If you see right side of the fiverr sites i.e. Request Gigs. It is the place where clients post their desired work. You may send message to them which includes some of your introduction and what services you can provide best suit to them. These messages will give you Guaranteed response.
Another way is to improve your gigs by sharing on face book and twitter.
By doing so you will get response and will obviously thanks me.

I joined fiverr some months ago and became Level 1 Seller within one month of creating a gig that is got over 10 orders...am tolly_4u on fiverr and you can search for me there. I use facebook, twitter, linkedin and direct message to promote my service on fiverr (gig) to get BUYERS.

My girlfriend joined fiverr a couple of weeks ago, based on what we've figured out it's the thumbnail she used that made her stand out, and constantly editing the gig to keep it fresh on the search results.

She became level 1 within a couple of days with 3 gigs. She should hit level 2 anytime now.

Put some friends of yours to buy some of your gigs to get some good feedbacks...then try to offer your best work in a domain Work Hard..

Creating a video on you tube is great advice if you are a singer. However, I doubt you would be as lucky if you were a computer programmer. People can instantly recognize awesome music. Also, sound cloud is great for voice overs. Social media is full of self promotion and most we ignore. Best advice is this one:

Find a new niche that is very narrow. That means your competition is near zero. Work on totally dominating that niche and you will become the "king" of that hill in less than one year.
