Fiverr Gig Promotion?

by Craig Fenton
24 replies
Hi Warriors:

Hope the weekend is going well.

I'm thinking of selling a bunch of services on Fiverr. I researched numerous things that may not have the competition overload I would be facing if I offered Facebook Friends, Twitter Followers, etc.

To properly promote the services (even if I am overlooking the obvious please tell me) would a YouTube Channel, word of mouth, referrals, my Twitter and Facebook accounts be a good start?

What other sites to promote the gig/techniques would you recommend?

Thank you as always,
Craig

    promote by giving fast service, excellent communication, well worded gig description, and attention to detail in the delivered product.

    Fiverr don't need external promotion, it ends up turning your gig from a $1/hour job into a $0.12/hr job

    deliver asap, at most within 24 hours.

    time is money

    I see you have social media services like Twitter followers listed above which is over crowded.

      Hi Johnben:

      I was giving examples of what services I knew were overcrowded.

      Sorry if I did not word it properly.

      All the best,
      Craig

    The only Fiverr promo method that works for me is:
    Do a stellar job and get repeat customers. These repeat customers would also be very enthusiastic in referring their friends to you.

      Totally agree with this!
      i can say that most of my sales from fiverr right now are from past customer. As my Gig is already not on first page of "recommended tab"

    If you can't deliver the job without spending more than five minutes, you are wasting your time.

    Fiverr is crawling with people who have money to spend, getting it by working your butt off is not the way to do it.

      I disagree. You first start out selling your services low then charge more once you get a following. This technique works in all types of Freelance and Consulting scenarios and works equally well for Fiverr.

      Thanks for the answers thus far.

      Outside promotion should not be overlooked. If you are first starting out on the site people are not going to go off it to Google you and see the books you have written, and so on.

      I totally agree that quick time frame, fast communication, good value are paramount but if you are starting with zero approval you need to be picked out of the crowd.

      Thanks,
      Craig

        Craig, I accept that you may have already done so but you really should try to work with what you have initially i.e organic Fiverr traffic by spicing up your gigs, since seeking external traffic really begs the question as to why you'd need to direct to and use Fiverr as a proxy.

        Fiverr serves as an effective storefront for external traffic perhaps only if the service cannot be sold elsewhere (on another viable storefront / website) for more money.

        Bear in mind that it's a shared storefront so you may well be directing to competitors too if people click out of your gig.

          Hi Daniel:

          Sorry to all if I haven't been clear so let me try to give you a starting point and rational.

          At this point I am not set up on Fiverr so there aren't gigs to promote yet.

          As for wanting to promote from the outside, I was told my a plethora of people that had gotten started with Fiverr and other sites in the early days something that has stuck with me. I truly believe it. The people that are looking to buy on Fiverr are not willing to go off the site to find out about your internet presence.

          If John Doe had 1000 sales and Craig 0 at this point John has the advantage (on site). The conversation I had was fascinating. Although I am a published author, have written liner notes for Rock & Roll Hall of Fame bands, lectured, wrote a writing a speaking course, etc. the Fiverr person isn't going to Google me. However when somebody was interested to see if I wanted to write the liner notes they knew my internet presence and track record and picked up the phone.

          The point they were making and a myriad of people that have trouble getting sales on Fiverr mentioned off site your track record Craig is as good as anyone. On site you are a zero.

          I hope that articulated things better. If it is not correct that is paramount! Getting traffic from any site you post on saves time/effort/money!

          Thanks as always for tremendous input.

          All the best,
          Craig

            Sorry. I wasn't reffering to outside research.

            I was suggesting that if you can score a lead outside of Fiverr, why direct to a site where you are only selling at $5 a pop where competitors are too, rather than your own site?

            Essentially you are advertising three aspects: Fiverr itself, your competitors (potentially) and yourself. If you direct prospects to your website (even if you are still selling for only $5) then you receive the 100% audience attention.

            It's only viable if you are using Fiverr specifically as a selling point within an advertising context that is Fiverr / Micro job site focused.

              These are great points I hadn't thought of and as I expand this portion of my portfolio I find this very important to consider. Thanks for broadening my perspective as I am new to this type of publication/client generation/micro job. Much appreciated.

    If you are just starting out on Fiver, the best way to make your first few sales is to offer a wide variety of gigs that are worth more than $5. The fact that you are giving your client something that is worth a lore more than they are paying for is an effective way to promote your gig without really promoting it.

    It depends on the gig. For example, if you draw cartoons, please put some pictures on pinterest and other similar pinning services. That should help you increase your name awareness. Also, do some HOW TO DRAW videos and place these on you tube to help people learn about you. This will give you more exposure.

    Nothing beats great reviews from past customers. I sometimes buy services from fiverr and the sellers i deal with are usually level 1 or 2, and have nice reviews by customers. Just keep delivering quick and quality results -- I think that's better than using time and money trying to promote your gigs externally.

    Fiverr really is NOT a tough nut to crack.
    You really don't need external promotion if you're not thinking of making this a full-time type of thing. As said above, it turns the hourly rate much lower.

    My suggestion is to give away stuff at a STEAL price. Like, 10K facebook likes at $5, or maybe 25K YT views at $5.

    Then, as you get more reviews (and trust me, it only takes one to get the ball rolling) your conversion rates and number of sales are gonna pick up; FAST.

    I've gone from $0 a day to $20 a day on Fiverr with zero external promotion. I just shared each gig once to the top social networks. Most, if not all, of your buyers are going to find you straight from Fiverr.

    Make sure you regularly update your gig to stay fresh in the search results.

    One more thing: keyword optimization, catchy titles and PERFECT descriptions are much more important than you think.With your level of English, I'm sure you could definitely write a catchy description. It's highly, highly important to sound very professional and it's key to sound better than the competition. Perfect English is one of the best ways to achieve that.

    Lastly, get Andre Strand's Fiverr Genie WSO. That's some really, really good stuff and it has helped me a ton.

    Hope this can help,
    JR John, fellow newb

    EDIT: And make sure that you do your absolute best to get in touch with the buyer MINUTES after ordering. Keep your e-mail open at all times, install notifications on your phone, anything. Just get in touch with them ASAP. And do your best to deliver ASAP as well.

    One good "trick" with Fiverr, is that they post "wanted"s, so put some gigs up, continually scan the Wanted's and reply rapidly to anyone wanting something you can do well, you can even write a custom Gig using their exact wording to make it easier for them to say "yes".

    Often you'll do one job for someone and they will want lots more work done.

    Other ways to promote your gigs include posting valuable info on relevant forums (with a signature link), and replying to relevant questions on WebAnswers, YahooAnswers, etc.
