Hi
I’m the user of fiverr for several months. Last month I created new gig about video editing. I really tried to make it look professional and bring me some sales. Clock is tickin but to be honest, my sales look miserably 😦 What I’m doing wrong? Maybe these niche to competetive? I need some cash to open my filmmaking business, so maybe I should try start gig in other category? If yes, what you can suggest me?
Thanks for reply, I will be really thankfull for help.

First thing I noticed your video thumbnail doesn’t pop. Change your video thumbnail to see if it will attract more buyers. If you don’t know how to do it I will submit a link here on the bottom.

I would rerecord your video. Speak slower , you are rushing through it which makes it hard to understand and the most important thing smile 🙂

Visit buyer requests daily and apply for jobs there.

Also, it doesn’t hurt to create more gigs. This will give you an idea of what sells and what doesn’t.

Instructions to change your video thumbnail:

You do a great job at presenting your ability in the video! What you’re offering looks premium and the way you present it works for the most part. @annai80 provided some really useful performance tips if you’re going to be in the video. However, If you’re not comfortable in front of the camera, consider positioning your offering with only samples in a well produced video that I’m sure you can create.

Again, those effects and transitions look really well executed, so perhaps only showcasing your work for now will suit you best if you feel that your strongest ability is the technical/behind the scenes aspect as opposed to the FaceTime (which isn’t required for EVERY niche).

Sometimes reworking your gig video and description can make a big impact but as @dion mentioned you are not required to be in the video. Just play around and see what works. Wishing you the best of luck.

This indicates either 1) you were making a joke or 2) there may be some confusion over her use of the term “pop”.

As I understood it, she meant that the image that shows for your video could be more engaging to the viewer.

To try to help clear up this confusion, here’s what I see as the Video Preview for this gig:

In any case, I suggest you check out Fiverrcast episode 08: Working Through Language Barriers. You should polish the English in your profile and gig description to remove typos such as:

My head is full of creativity and I have good knowledge of the market. I provide professional video edit. I can take care of your films, short clips, music videos,promotions,commercials, intros, marketing videos and a lot of other types of video.

I suggest:

My head is full of creativity and I have good knowledge of the market. I provide professional video edits [or editing]. I can take care of your films, short clips, music videos, promotions, commercials, intros, marketing videos, and a lot of other types of video.

Even so, “My head is full of creativity” comes across as awkward in English. You don’t have to change it, as in a way, it does have its own charm.

Good luck,

Blaise

Be sure to make use of Tools like the Fiverr Blog, Fiverr Academy, and Fiverrcast.

As a general rule, when I have time to participate in the Fiverr Forum and I notice a request like yours in the “Improve My Gig” section, I am willing and able to look at a Seller’s Profile and one gig one time.

I can give you a better level of assistance if you first work your way through the checklist below. That way, I won’t waste your one turn by advising you to follow items on the checklist.

Dear Fiverr Seller: I didn’t take a look at your gig, but here is a checklist that may help: Polish your English: spelling, grammar, punctuation, and so on. Are you trying to reach US English speakers or international English speakers? Make sure your phrasing is consistent with your target audience. Remember that buyers are on Fiverr so that you will solve THEIR problems. You are here to provide SOLUTIONS. There is no place for negativity in your copy. Don’t say, I live in a third world…
I may be a Level 2 seller who has been here for about two years now, but there was a lot of trial and error along the way (and I mean A LOT). Despite the fact that I have a 99% overall rating with over 1,000 completed orders, I’m nowhere near “perfect” and I continue to learn new things daily. (I’m really not trying to toot my own horn… I swear!) Below, I have included a list of tried and true do’s and don’ts. I learned from my fiverr blunders, so I’d like to share my acquired wisdom. My hope …
Hey guys! Let’s cut straight to the chase. You’re a new seller (or maybe even an older seller experiencing a sales slum). Here are my 3 top tips to generating sales: 1. Interlink your services and create related gigsI’ve seen many new sellers fall into two traps when first creating their gigs. One of these traps is to create multiple gigs which are essentially the same thing (such as “create modern logo design”, “create a unique logo”, “design your logo”) in the hopes of getting more traffic…
Hi @charles20bc, Here’s a list I’ve put together that helps you stand out, look Professional, and how to setup a proper, well designed gig. Make sure you complete your profile setup 100%. Also, link all of your accounts (Facebook, Stack Overflow, Email, etc) so that potential buyers know you’re not a fly by night seller. Use proper English in your Fiverr profile. Make sure to notate where you’re from, and make sure your sentence structure is proper. Many potential buyers will not want to work…
Buyer Requests (BR) is FOR BUYERS to request custom offers from Sellers. (see Key Terms etc. in following link on what is a buyer, a seller, an order, an offer, a gig etc. and memorize them - it´s easier to get correct replies on the forum when you post about issues, if you use the correct terms so everyone knows what you´re talking about: https://www.fiverr.com/terms_of_service) It is NOT for Sellers to post their Gigs and services and offers, actually that can get you into trouble. Kind…
Have you been struggling to get orders? Then you’ve probably looked at the Buyer Request section a few times now, and maybe you’ve sent a few offers. As a buyer whose posted requests before, here are some tips for how to actually appeal to the seller: Edit before you send. Make sure that your grammar and spelling is correct and that your sentences flow and make sense. The buyer won’t sit there for ten minutes trying to figure out what you had tried to say and they are very unlikely to message…
It is common knowledge that technical professionals seldom lack the ability to communicate proficiently unlike other professionals such as businessmen, lawyers etc. On the other hand our brain works super efficiently (a biased opinion of course!), but our tongue offers basic functionality. So this thread is about SALESMANSHIP from the point of a non-sales person such as myself. There are a lot of different categories here on Fiverr, but majority of questions regarding sales on this forum are …
Hello there Fiverr Family, Here is a tip that I would like to share with those that are new to Fiverr and possibly may help those that have been around for a while. To optimize your gigs for SEO: When saving the .jpg or .png image for your gig, put the keywords (all in lowercase) that you would like to rank for, in the name of your file separated by dashes. Example: I have a dj drop gig When saving my gig picture I save my file as dj-drops-on-fiverr. jpg This helps with the SEO of your gig…

Stop fishing for compliments!

Good luck,
