Guest voiceoverphil Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Okay Fiverr colleagues, the FRUSTRATION is finally setting in…I joined Fiverr on March 5 of 2017, and yesterday marked 4 months. So far I’ve responded to 140 buyer requests, which have resulted in 4 sales and 2 - 5* ratings (the other two did not leave feedback).I have 0 sales through searches, and worse, searched for my gig and my profile today and they did not show up in the search results, even when I typed in my profile name.Things I know:Buyer request area is terrible but necessary earlyI should be advertising on social media and am beginning to do soThere are LOTS of VO sellers on here already, so it will take a while to compete.I’ve made more money in less time on other outlets but people I know in VO insist Fiverr is still a great platform.Definitely not giving up. I’m playing the long game here. But I seriously need some practical advice to shorten the curve to making a living here. Please and thanks!

Guest offlinehelpers Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 You’ve got one gig - can you make another 6 that are more specific - answering messages etc.?The more gigs, and the more specific they are to what somebody’s searching for, the more likely they’ll be to find you.Good luck! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I get well intentioned but bad advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I get well intentioned but bad advice?I’m not saying it was bad advice at all, but if you can have 7 gigs, then you’ve got 6 more chances of being found! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikavoice Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I agree with @offlinehelpers creating new gigs is a good idea. VO category is saturated, so it’ll take some time to get things moving & shaking. But, don’t give up, just keep at it! 😎Buyers request is a hit or miss… Most want something for nothing. Nah it doesn’t work that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
