- Don’t forget to use keywords that people search for. Also, be careful about what you post as you may get banned.
Even if you’ve already got a Fiverr account and have set-up your first gig, there’s still room for improvement, right! You can use the tips that we’ll share to make it better and more successful. Here’s how you start getting attention and making money.
Step 1 : Find Your Ideal Fiverr Subcategory And Services
When you’re starting out, it’s important to know what kind of gigs you want to sell. Before you start selling, make sure you’ve picked the right categories.
Join Fiverr as a seller. Clicking on the “Buy” link in your navigation menu will help you understand how buyers think about Fiverr.
After that, use the menu button at the top to find out more about the categories. Click on any link, and you’ll get a sub-sub-menu with sub-sub-categories.
Explore them in depth so you can choose the right one for your gig. When you hover over any link, you’ll see a sub-menu with sub-categories. Pay attention to the menu on the left side of the page. This gives you an idea of what people will be looking for when choosing your service.
Examples:
- In the Whiteboard subcategory, you can segment based on type of animation (whiteboards, 2D, kinetic), and by output format (mp4, avi, mov).
- In the Animated Explainer subcategory, you can also segment by type of animation and by output format.
- In the Email Marketing subcategory, you can further segment by email platform (Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp, Telegram) and by what’s included (responsive design, marketing campaigns, graphics).
- In the Chatbots subcategory, you can even further segment by chatbot platform and by purpose (custom customer service, shopping, entertainment.)
Example Gig
You should use these words to create a list of things you want to include in your gig. For example, if you’re creating a gig about writing an ebook, you might write down the following:
* Writing Tips
* How to get started
* Free samples
* Sample chapters
* Sample ebooks
* Your contact information
* A link to your website or blog
Step 2 : Check Out The Competition
You should refine your product before looking for competition. Once you’ve done this, you’ll know what type of service you need to provide to get customers.
Sellers with lots of positive reviews should be your first choice when buying online. Look for things you can offer them that they don’t offer.
You may even be able to give them an extra bonus if you’re willing to do some work for them.
Sellers should be careful about how they word their gigs.
- Keywords are important because they help people find them.
- Use the keywords that buyers actually search for.
- Don’t try to over-promise or under-deliver.
- Be honest and realistic about your abilities.
Step 3 : Create An Appealing Title
Gig titles should be short and sweet. Use the title as a way to describe your gig. Don’t make it too long or complicated.
You’ll want to focus on your unique selling points (USPs) and how they apply to your gig.
Add your delivery time. If your gig is going to be delivered within 24 hours, it’s worth mentioning in the title.
Pro Tip Fiverr recommends that you create your first gig title with the keywords that you want to rank for. This will help you get a keyword rich url which is good for SEO.
Once you’ve saved your gig, go to edit your title and use these tips to make sure it’s optimized.
Example Seller Profile
You’re a professional who provides services. Your personal information will remain private. Add an image of yourself to your profile picture section. Don’t use a copyrighted image.
