Need help promoting fiverr gig!

Hi! I started a new profile on Fiverr and of course, I have to start promoting my gigs on social media. Turns out I am pretty bad at this, it is very hard to promote yourself when there are people who constantly post the same thing/link and yours gets way behind.

I shared my gigs on twitter, facebook groups and have created a youtube channel where I posted the 2 videos I made for my gigs.
Started a fb profile especially for this (I do not want to mix my social life with my work) And I have no idea how to add people there, I can't simply add random people, no? So I am a bit lost.

My gigs are here: https://www.fiverr.com/zazadesign (If it is not allowed to post links I will remove it) Maybe I have some flaws on profile or gigs that I do not see and that is why nobody orders anything. I have no idea.

Any advices for me?
Thank you in advance!
Luiza

      That is a good idea, thank you! Good thing I have something that allows me to be creative in offering the same thing under a different title. Otherwise it is prohibited to have very similar gigs, from what I read until now. Some people got banned because of it.

      I'll try it, thx!

        another option on facebook would be to find open groups of entreneurs/business people, etc that might be looking for your expertise

          Yes, that is a great idea too. I`m sure I will find groups that could be interested in logo/app/web design. I just need to find a good way to explain what I offer.

          For now I just use the basic "I will .... for $5" and I'm not sure that this is attracting many buyers - it kinda sounds really cold and distant to me now that I think about it.

    You should also add a video to your profile

    The video should step people through your production process

    This helps build credibility

    The more people find you credible, the more of a competitive advantage you'll have

      I have created videos for both my gigs, a few images put together showing some samples and some details about the gig itself. Unfortunately I am a bit camera shy so no way I am going to make a video of myself

        You can make a voice over and walk people through your creative process.

        Simply showing them details and images is not enough.

        You are starting with ZERO credibility with your target customers.

        You need to EARN that trust by at least showing them your process.

        This is what will make you STAND OUT from your competition.

        Everyone else is just waiting and sitting around for Fiverr to deliver customers.

        That's not going to produce much results.

          You are right. I will try this, I guess I have to put myself in the buyers shoes so to speak and think what would attract me to buy something.

          Many thanks!

    Turns out adding random people (profiles that I thought could need something) is ok. Already had 2 other orders.
    Can anyone tell me, what do you think over tweeting could be? I post about my 2 gigs on Twitter about 2-3 times a day, maybe 4 sometimes. Would that be considered too much?
