Believe it or not, Fiverr made my dream come true. I picked up my first instrument (guitar) when I was 7 years old, and studied with youtube and learnt from my older friends who were such good instrumentists. Later, I've picked up on piano as well, but I never had the chance to convince my parents to follow a musical school, and had to do it on my own. When I was in highschool, I got myself a copy of Ableton (which is a digital audio workstation) with the allowance money. Since then, I've experimented with producing music for myself, but never had the guts to release anything. The signs were there, but I always hesitated to pursue my dream of composing music for a living. Then, in University, I graduated Law School, and practised law, as a legal advisor for 4 years. The only constant in my life so far, was producing music and experimenting with music and sound design. In 2021, I've enrolled myself in a music production course, and realised that my level was quite advanced, eventhought I was self-taught. That gave me the courage to concieve the idea of maybe I can make some pocket-money out of this in my spare time. Therefore, in October 2022, I've found Fiverr and it's business model of Gigs, and decided to try it out. At the time, I asked my cousin for help, since he knew much more about sales and marketing, and also we were not looking for a quick cash grab. I was in charge of composing and producing the music, and he was in charge of sales & marketing. We found our niche of Video Game Music, since we are avid gamers, and the time spent playing videogames served well on my side, knowing how the music enhances different events and feelings that the game should express, and on his side it helped a lot when briefing with the customers, knowing what questions to ask. We even had some excel sheets with essential questions and flavour questions. We were very organised, and treated freelancing here as a very serious business. We analyzed our competition, learnt a lot from them, and created our first Gig which was priced, of course, at 5$. We've got 3 orders in the first 2 weeks (which was crazy if you think about it), and after that it was radio silence until January. In January we got another order, and things slowly picked up, and by March 2023, we were having around 15 orders/month on average. Then, we hit a brick wall, and decided to create our second gig, third gig and so on, and improve our first one to scale it as much as possible. From April 2023, it really started growing and the orders were quite constant. Unfortunately, in late May 2023, my cousin left since he had to focus on University studies, and there I was, having to learn the ropes of sales and marketing (which I never wanted to do, but I had to do it). By July 2023, the income made from composing music on Fiverr summed with the income from composing music outside FIverr surpassed the income I was having from my law dayjob and made me think that I could do this full time. At this time, I was working 8hr/day at the office, and 4 hr/day in the evening as a part-time job composing music on Fiverr. When the orders were piling up, there were numerous times I had to wake up 2 hours before going to office, to make sure I can create and deliver quality for my customers. This way, some days were 14+hours filled with work, and burned me out a bit. That's when I've took the risk and decided I want to pursue my calling instead of the boring office job I didn't liked. Therefore, in October 2023 I've quit my job and went freelancing full time. The first 3 months were super scary, and I often had the anxiety of thinking I did the wrong thing. The income was low, customers were fewer than before and most of my orders were from returning customers. But I was the happiest man on earth, since I did what I loved to earn my bread. Since I had a lot of free time, I've re-thinked how I marketed myself and did some drastic changes to my offers, my Gigs, and did a lot of A-B testing. In December 2023, being quite unsatisfied with my performance, I took the decision on joining the Seller Plus program and get in touch with my Succes Manager. And God, how the things changed since then. I was blessed to have the chance to meet the most involved person that helped me develop my Fiverr business and presence way further than I've ever expected. Always responsive, always helpful. With the advices from the Succes Manager and the will to risk it all for my passion, I've powered trough and took even more drastic decisions for my 2 most performing gigs. And you know what? It worked! Since then I'm having my best time here and each month is better than the last. Now I finally raised enough ammount of money to build my new recording and producing studio. I've finally received the City Permit (Authorization to Build) and the studio should be done by October 2024. All of this with the help of Fiverr which made it really easy for me (I'm not the most tech-savy person) to sell my talent and skill. Since October 2022, I've completed more than 230 Orders (90 of them being completed in the last 3 months), composed over 300 soundtracks, created sound effects and designed sound for over 100 indie video games. If you could tell my past self that this will happen, it wouldn't ever believe you. I know it's not much compared to other sellers that I look up to in my category and further, but I want to give back and hopefully help the new sellers that just started their journey here, and learn from my mistakes. This is what worked for me: Treat every order like it's your first. I had to learn this the hard way. At some point, after I got a consistent number of sales, I was starting to streamline my process of receiving orders and deliver them. Don't get me wrong, I do believe that a good business has to be streamlined to be the most efficient, but until you're not having 10 orders/day, it's not the case. My mistake was that I was less involved in the communication with my customers, and eventhought my products were higher quality than the ones from my first months of selling here, I wasn't retaining the customers like I did before. I realised that from that period of time (aproximately 3 months) there were only 2 customers that returned, while from the earlier timeframe (before streamlining my briefing and delivering process) there is still a great number of returning customers up to this day. Get involved and understand their needs personally and authentic, and they will stick with you even months later. Be prepared to revise over and over again. Of course I've started with unlimited revisions. After the first few months, I've encountered "that customer" that requested revision after revision and micromanaged everything that came into the production process, to a point where I've asked myself if he's a professional, dropshipping my services. The order lasted 2 weeks over the initial delivery time agreed. I was burned out and made the mistake of letting my ego take the wheel and confronted the customer on his practise. He accepted the delivery, never left a public review, but left a private review that hurt me even 6 months after that order. This was way before the new system was implemented, and with the help of my Succes Manager I've found out there's a private review hurting me like a truck. Now you think, "well, I can limit my revisions to only 2" but that don't work either. I've had customers keeping me in a 5+ revisions loop eventhought my offer included only 2. Don't make the mstake I've made and think the number of agreed revisions will be respected by your customers. Be prepared to revise over and over again each time you meet "that customer", because there will always be one at your frontdoor. Power trough that and provide your best service, since most of the buyers aren't unreasonable. This is how the revision system works sadly, and it's better to addapt and overcome it, especially when you're not like 500+ reviews in and a private one can hurt you even months after. Be authentic. Don't try to copy others in your category. Analyze their gigs, services and offers, and try to do better, of course, but don't try to imitate what they're doing since it's very less likely that you'll steal their audience, especially if you're looking up to seasoned sellers. The market is indeed very plentyful and customers are bombarded with 17.000 gigs when searching a certain category, but don't forget that you're selling on the internet. There will always be someone that will choose you because your unique traits. I've made the mistake to try to do what my competitors do, starting from the keywords, the style of the thumbnails, the style of how they've wrote Gig's description, and so on. Didn't worked. Why would've anyone pick me instead of my competitor who has more reviews than me and it's been there before I was? The momment I've realised this, and decided just to be myself and create my Gigs the way I thought it was good, I started gathering like-minded customers that are returning regularely, and the new ones are pretty much "my cup of tea", with of course the little exceptions (see "that customer" from above that creeps at your inbox right now). Use translation tools. As you might see from my writing, english is not my first language. Don't expect your customers to be english teachers or natives. When briefing with the customer, it's very important that you are 100% sure of what's the task and it's flavours. If you see your customer struggles to explain and you're not 100% sure of what are the fine details of the needed work, don't do my mistake and take the order and find out when you're delivering. You're loosing important time. Your time! Instead, you can see where your customer's from, translate your question in his language, send it and kindly ask him/her to respond in their native language. It happened to me many times that I had to "guess" some specific details, and since using translation tools to make sure I understand what's needed to be done exactly, the revision requests are fewer. Don't try closing the deal as soon as possible. When starting, I was always trying to close the deal as soon as possible, to make sure the potential customer won't pivot to other seller. Don't do my mistake! Make sure you put a lot of emphasis on the briefing process, since (at least in my field of work) customer requests are very subjective. If you're talking about art (music and audio in my case), some customers will see as "perfect" something that you don't. Take your time and discuss every little detail to make sure you understand their vision before accepting the order. It's risky because you might loose the potential customer to another seller? Well, yes, but it's more important to make sure you deliver exactly what your customer needs, and not get stuck in a revision loop or get over the deadline with "last minute details". Remember that every action has a direct consequence on your ranking spot and your gig's traffic, so think twice before saying you got all you need to start working on the order. Provide early drafts. It saves you so much time! With an early draft, you can make sure you won't loose your time in the wrong direction. Maybe you had all the needed details from the customer when starting the work, but guess what? There are a lot of customers that change their mind overnight. Provide them a draft as soon as humanly possible and ask for confrmation, so your time won't be wasted re-doing the job. I used to deliver the work without providing an early draft and it was a mistake. Almost 1/4 of my customers changed their mind overnight and shifted the key elements that we've agreed on initially, and when asking for the revision, I had to change structural elements of my work, resulting in almost re-doing everything since I had to addapt the rest of the work to their new requests. Educate your customers. I was just delivering the order and hoped for a returning customer. It was lazy, and it was a mistake. Before/When delivering, try to put together a small debrief on what you've actually done in your work. Your customers aren't stupid and eventhought you're an expert on your field, you could be surprised on how much your customers can learn from you and how that can beneffit you on future orders. Not long ago I've started sending my customers an explanation text with what instruments I've used, why I've used them, what's their role, what's the musical theory behind the composition and what's my personal take on all those things. This thing works! Next time you're collaborating, you'll have a much easier time to transpose customer's vision into your service, because they will know how to answer your specific questions! Give your customers some options You have that potential customer that wants to buy your 50$ service, but his budget is only 35$? I used to turn down those customers since my highest discount rate was at 20% and that way I lost potential returning customers! It was a mistake. Instead, at some point I've decided I'll take those requests, but I'll double down on the delivery time. Instead of 5 days delivery time, offer it in 10 days. That way, you will not loose a potential returning customer and you won't have to fit that project into your main scheddule. You can do it whenever you have a spare hour or two, since your delivery time is doubled! It works like a charm to me, and you'll be shocked on how many customers are not in a rush, eventhought they say so in their first message. Time is money, friend! Collect your own data I made the mistake on relying on memory and on the data shown by analytics to drive my business. Don't do that. It will save you a lot of time and you'll make informed decisions if you make your own spreadsheed with everything that happens with a relevancy for your Gigs. Try to track the most important stuff, such as: keywords performance, new customers/time frame, returning customers/time frame, types of projects done, the most asked questions or inquiries by your customers, orders that landed you tips and WHY that happened, changes made to the gig related to key factors etc. Be patient If you're treating every order like it's your first order, it's impossible not to grow. Don't make the mistake I've done by panicking when orders are not coming. It's not worth your time and your mental health. Instead, be patient, do your best on the services you provide, and try to slowly build your returning customer base. The best you can do proactively, is to fine-tune your Gigs, but be careful with that, since back-to-back changes might screw up the ranking algorithm (source for this is my Succes Manager). If you're looking to do A-B testing, wait at least 3-4 weeks in between, to have at least the minimum data to compare. I feel like there are much more to be told, but I just realised this post will take an eternity to read anyway, so I'll stop for now. I really hope my journey of pursuing my dream with Fiverr's help can motivate you and give you the strenght to power-trough rough moments, and that you can find something positive in the lessons I've learnt from my mistakes. Don't give up, and trust your skills and talent!

Hello everyone, I want to share my story and some concerns I have. My name is Muhammad Iqbal, and I started using Fiverr in 2016 after finishing a course in graphic design. At first, I didn't get any orders, so I decided to improve my skills by taking more courses online and offline. Since I also studied software engineering, I really liked working in the UI/UX category. I got an internship with a company called The Nerd Camp, and after a few months, I got a job with a company called SMSAMI, where I worked for almost two years as UI UX Designer and where I got the title, "The Father of UI UX Design". Then, in December 2018, I decided to give Fiverr another try. Surprisingly, I started getting lots of orders, and within two months, I reached Level 1 and Level 2 status as a seller. I have achieved the top-rated status since 2021, and unexpectedly, Fiverr elevated my account to Level Two in June 2023 without any specific reason. I've always worked hard to make sure every order is perfect, and I've never received any negative feedback. With a 5-star rating, I've earned over $200,000 on Fiverr. This money has helped me support my family, buy a house, and even start my own team called Welldux, which focuses on UI/UX design. My goal is for Welldux to become a top UI/UX agency by the end of the year. I've always been loyal to Fiverr, and I've even convinced some of my offline clients to start using it. But about a year ago, my account started having problems. I tried everything to fix it, including upgrading to a Seller Plus account and getting help from a Success Manager, but nothing worked. Then, on April 18th, I got a shocking email saying that my account was disabled, some of my orders were canceled, and a meeting with a client was called off. Now, I have some questions for Fiverr: Is my eight-year career on Fiverr going to be ruined because of this? If there's any proof that I broke the rules, could you please show me? What should I do about the team I've built? Should I let them go? What about my regular clients who bring in $4,000 to $8,000 each month? Should I stop working with them on Fiverr? I'm waiting for your response and hoping for a solution to this problem

I am unsure if this is news to anyone else but when asking about an order cancelation I got the wonderful message: "Please note that the success score remains fairly stable over time. Each Gig’s history is examined to determine an individual score, relative to other freelancers in the same category and price benchmark." Yeah... they tried to back track after that with "Let's look at things from a brighter perspective." I am starting to really lost interest in fiverr.

There is no "secret sauce". Ingredients are obvious. It is obvious what Fiverr aiming for. Fiverr wants Faster and sustainable income. Like every other companies. That literally means Sellers should: Deliver faster, (Like as before) Avoid cancellations (Like as before) Absorb more customers; which literally means better communication and engagements (which might be new in the new evaluation system using AI, via monitoring chats), Good reviews (Like as before) Good feedback on Private questions(Like as before) They might want to get rid of slow income services like Animation and Motion graphics. Not sure. They might think like, Okay, every category will have it's inherent competition, so It will be ranked according to the category characteristics, and for that, they will be using AI again. But I am not sure if it works correctly and there will be some bleeding in the new system. It will effectively help to get rid of scammers though. They still will have the "newcommers" support, because they will not be able to remove that unspoken rule.

@wasim_al Welcome to the community. It's better to check top rated sellers and new sellers (who already got job) GIG according to your service. And then revision your GIG and ask yourself, is there anything that you need to change or add... and also check is that a right category and keywords that relevant to your service. That all. Best of luck ❤️

Hello, I am Sadiya Binte from Bangladesh and I recently join on Fiverr . Few days ago I created a new gig related Digital marketing Category. Please check my gig and share your experience on this gig. My Gig: https://www.fiverr.com/s/wojW98

Checked your gig. Your image quality should be good. You can follow this forum category for gigs: https://community.fiverr.com/forums/?forumId=18 This article will help you:

How can I apply for a new job if we don't see job offer? I am trying to keep stay online, but I don't understand what I can do for a new order. I have sharp experience in my category. My category is AI applications. thanks

Welcome. Perfect category selection.

I think it's about time that Fiverr stops compressing the audio of gig videos to oblivion, with a crazy low pass or brick wall filter destroying the high end of the audio. The reason many of the people working in audio do not have a video uploaded is because of the low quality audio that will be displayed first and upfront if we add a video... Incredibly important for the audio category but of utmost importance specifically for those in the mixing/mastering subcategories because the high end can make or break a mix/master... Overall everyone would benefit from this fix, and I'm just surprised after waiting so long that this hasn't been changed yet... We should be able to retain 720p 256 kbps AAC video. NO LOW PASS PLEASE 🙏

Welcome to the forum! Here are some tips from my end: Optimize Gig Titles and Descriptions: Use relevant keywords in your gig titles and descriptions to make them searchable. Research popular keywords related to your service and incorporate them naturally into your gig content. High-Quality Gig Images and Videos: Visuals play a crucial role in attracting buyers. Use high-resolution images and videos that showcase your work or demonstrate your service. Ensure they are clear, attractive, and professional-looking. Choose the Right Category and Tags: Select the most relevant category for your gig, and use appropriate tags to help Fiverr's algorithm understand what your gig is about. This will improve its chances of being displayed to the right audience. Offer Competitive Pricing: Pricing your services competitively can help attract more buyers, especially if you're just starting out. Consider offering introductory discounts or packages to entice customers to try your services. Provide Excellent Customer Service: Positive reviews and ratings are essential for ranking higher on Fiverr. Focus on delivering high-quality work and providing excellent customer service to ensure satisfied clients who are more likely to leave positive reviews. Promote Your Gigs Outside Fiverr: Utilize social media platforms, forums, blogs, and other channels to promote your Fiverr gigs. Directing external traffic to your gigs can increase their visibility and attract more potential buyers.

You people just visit only one category programming and teach or there category like graphic, business, ecommerce has less competition and less starting goal

There are 31,000 other sellers in the category "Product Image Editing." If you went into a mall with 31,000 clothing stores, would you think it's a great idea to open up another clothing store? The problem might simply be that you've made gigs in a category with thousands of other sellers offering the exact same thing as you do. You're competing with all of them.

Despite having all the checks on my gig data, the title up, the tags, and even the category, It still shows me the Mandatory metadata is missing error... Why?

Initially, my gig was in the Data subcategory, which falls under the Programming and Tech main category. I specialize in data-related work associated with website development. At that time, there was no separate Data main category. However, a few days ago, Fiverr created a Data category as the main category and moved my gig from Programming & Tech to Data. Unfortunately, my gig doesn't align well with the Data category, and I've been facing difficulties in getting orders. My entire freelancing career has been affected, despite achieving 51 five-star rated orders. Could you please guide me on how to move my gig's main category from Data to Programming and Tech? Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

If I start mentioning every bug, the list will probably never end but I will try my best to name some. And I am aware that I am posting this in the 'Lounge' and not the 'Feedback' category because I have no hopes that Fiverr will even look at these issues and try to solve them. Some bugs have been there for more than 3 years, but still no resolution -- so, cough cough, no words to say anything. 1. Data of Promoted Gigs not updating: That's a different story as to how 80% of clicks through promoted gigs are just spam but today, my promoted gigs have stopped updating the data. For the past 9 hours, the same data has been visible and it's not updating. So, I have no clue how much I am spending, and due to the fear of getting a long bill of 1 million dollars (lmao, can't trust that I don't see a bug with billing), I have stopped promoting gigs until this issue is fixed. 2. I wrote a ticket to customer support to take a look at this issue of not updating Promoted gigs data -- and after a few minutes, I received this super-cute reply: just a single letter "s". And the best part is that on the Help Center website, there is no response visible at all, like nobody replied to my ticket. Bruh, what the hell is going on with Fiverr? I have no clue whether someone has replied, not replied, or just replied with this spam (spam from customer support, wow). 3. Whenever we keep our Fiverr app running in the background and open it again, this is what iPhone users see: nothing much but just a heart attack that they are banned from the platform. So, if you're owning an iPhone, good luck my friend, and don't forget to clear the app from 'Recent apps' every time. Apple was so proud that their phones don't lag even when you keep running multiple apps in the background that they didn't even release a 'close all' button -- but now, keep playing with this closing and opening game. And yes, my Fiverr app is fully updated, so please do not suggest updating the app. Not just me, but many iPhone users are facing this bug. 4. The new level system was launched on February 14 (the day of love) for all sellers, but if you go to your Analytics tab, you will see this message. Don't tell me that a billion-dollar company has a shortage of website developers that they do not even have time for 20 seconds to delete a few lines of code and remove this message from here. Bruh, if your website developers do not have time, then why don't you just go ahead and hire a $5 gig from your own platform so that someone else can remove it. It's been almost two months! Please do something and don't ruin the 'User experience'! 🙂🙂 5. No profile picture in order history for specific clients: I get it that it's not a big deal, but this bug has been there for the past ~3 years (since I joined the platform). Ever heard of 'User Experience'? And not to mention how hard it is to navigate/search the orders from the history. Can't you just give a 'notes' headline instead of just showing the repetitive gig name? That gig name means nothing to me and does not help in finding any order from the history. 6. Deliveries auto-changing the messages: No matter what you write in the delivery message box, after entering it, it will just change to a completely random text. I think this was fixed yesterday, but still, I would LOVE to count it in my list. Imagine how many sellers & buyers suffered from the headache and confusion due to this. Read more about this bug here: 7. Just now, someone posted that a buyer managed to bypass the 'Request to Order'. I hope that Fiverr is not launching a new tier: "Seller Plus: Double Premium," which ensures that you won't face bugs in RTO. Read about this here: 8. Lots and lots of bugs in custom offers that we faced last to last week. Custom offers were auto-expiring, there was no option of gig extras, and so on. Can't even mention all those countless bugs with custom offers. 9. The 'Online' and 'Last Seen' feature is completely bugged in the inbox. This bug has been there for the past 2-3 years at least (or maybe more), and imagine the awesome feeling of texting with the client and still, it shows you that the client was last seen 3 hours ago, lmao! 10. And countless more bugs (that are currently fixed but sometimes occur) --- such as wrong order queue number, notifications not working, and so on.

Hi Noman Fiverr has set $80 price for the WordPress category.

Who sells a website for $5 as a starting price even for 1 page WordPress website? Are you really serious? But unfortunately, with $5, you won't be able to get any orders as Fiverr has set $80 price for the WordPress category. That way, you will be able to get orders as well as more exposure to your buyers. I'll encourage you to do some research on your niche (WordPress) on Fiverr to observe how other sellers are offering their services and what prices they have set etc.

Standard is one account provide one category service

Data Science category greyed out. though i have vetted my skills, but till now i didn't hear anything from fiverr evaluation team. I am not able to creat gig in data science and AI category

Did you have any luck? My wife recently had a similar situation. She is a life coach, and a trained medical hypnotherapist. She posted a Gig as a life coach, and they rejected it without saying why and that the decision was final. We wrote back asking what in our gig was not compliant with their rules as we would be happy to change or modify it, and they went dark and will not even tell us why or respond. I am thinking it might be because she is a trained medical hypnotherapist, but that was not even what she was selling. She was selling being a Life Coach which is an actual category. It’s so annoying to be denied with no option to discuss further or understand what the problem is.

@smashradio I created gigs that belong to this category. What should I do now?

Dear Sir/Ma'am, Kindly note that Fiverr sent me an email saying that my information did not pass the verification with a message that reads as follows "We weren’t able to verify your personal and business information, therefore your account has been restricted. You are still able to complete any active orders and communicate with buyers or freelancers who are part of that order but cannot place or receive new ones. In addition, you will not be able to publish any Gigs." My profile is also prompting the message "Your account is temporarily disabled. Please check the email we sent you explaining what happened." I'm currently exempt from paying taxes in India under the 'TCS under GST' tax category as my annual wage is under 500000 INR and I'm also not registered for 'GST India' as I do not have a business mentioned in my PAN card. Can you kindly check why my information is not verified? And also, am I eligible to start my business of 'Website Maintenance' on Fiverr? Kind regards -Oudarjya Sen Sarma

At first glance, determining the correct price for your Fiverr Gig can seem puzzling. For Sellers starting out and others looking to “up their game,” it can be a challenge to be both competitive and still ensure that you’re paid fairly for your work. For a Buyer to build a sustainable presence on Fiverr, it’s essential to understand and balance all the relevant factors, including your overhead—that is, expenses incurred in delivering your particular gig, including Fiverr Transaction Fees— and incorporating useful options such as tiered packages and Gig Extras. We’ve developed guidelines that will help you navigate the basic strategies and the tools at your disposal. In this article, we’ll look at two of these factors: Evaluating Your Competitors and Considering the Fiverr Transaction Fee. By looking at successful Competitors with similar gigs, you can determine an average price for the type of gig you’re creating. As unique and talented as you may be, you’ll likely have hundreds, if not thousands, of competitors on Fiverr. That might initially seem discouraging—how can you stand out in a massive crowd? When researching Top Rated sellers in your category, you'll begin to recognize specific patterns. Clear, customer-centered profiles and descriptions: One of the most important rules to success on Fiverr: don’t simply tell people about your accomplishments—explain how your talents and experience can help them achieve their goals. Even if you’re new to the platform, the experience you offer means that you will understand the needs of your clients. The most highly-rated Sellers and Gigs are always delivered on time, prepared with care, and delivered with respect. Read the reviews of your competitors and learn what buyers appreciate: Attention to detail, care for the needs of the client, on-time or early delivery; and Fair Pricing: Fair doesn’t mean cheap! The most successful and sustainable gigs on Fiverr offer pricing that reflects the value of the work. Pricing a gig too low reflects negatively on the perceived quality of the gig. Likewise, pricing too high will turn off many start-ups and individual entrepreneurs who love our platform. Evaluate the pricing of gigs similar to yours and price accordingly. Buyers expect professional quality and are willing to pay reasonably for it. You should also take into account the Fiverr Transaction Fee. One of the most significant advantages of Fiverr-based work is access to a worldwide network of buyers, a responsive and engaged customer support service, an extensive marketing program, and the robust protection provided with each transaction. Fiverr makes it possible for you to focus on what you do best while we take care of everything else. When you price your gig, always keep in mind the bottom line. Fiverr subtracts the 20% transaction fee from every financial interaction with your Buyer, including tips. In determining the price of your gig, keep in mind what you’ll receive for each gig after the transaction fee. For example, if a gig is $50, you’ll receive $40. If you price your gig at $60, you will receive $48. In the following article, we’ll take a look at tools that can motivate a buyer to purchase your gig, like tiered packages and added-cost extras, allowing you to keep the basic price low and attractive, while offering the buyer the ability to customize the Gig to fit their needs.
