triple_rrr Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Hey all,I’m just starting out on Fiverr. I’m still below level 1, but I’m really enjoying the website. I’m attempting to drive more traffic to my gigs by offering a “sale” today. I’ve got the day off, but I’m ready to make a few bucks on fiverr, so I’ve lowered my delivery time to 1 day and changed my title to read:"I will create a Whiteboard Animation ///TODAY only 12hr delivery for $5"link: http://fiverr.com/triple_rrr/create-a-whiteboard-animation-scribing-videoHas anyone else tried this, or does anyone have any tips to boost sales for a day or two?I’m hoping this will drive sales. I will be reporting back later tonight to let you know how it went.-Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triple_rrr Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 Just sold 2 gigs and delivered in an hour. I was messaging back and forth with the customer just before I decided to create the express gig. So, I don’t know if this really counts towards an increased number of sales due to the “Sale”.

thetravelwriter Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Rob -By its nature, Express Gigs get that nice colored tag that attracts more attention on the list of gigs. If you’re willing to keep it that way for a while, then you may see a jump in interest. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotwebideas Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Hey Rob, I actually started a forum post asking experienced sellers to offer new sellers some tips. Check it out at http://forum.fiverr.com/discussion/comment/19941#Comment_19941Like @thetravelwriter said, once your gig becomes an express gig, you will see more sales as express gigs have a section all their own.Good luck and keep working hard on Fiverr. You’ll get there sooner than you will think.Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triple_rrr Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 Very cool.I didn’t get any other sales beyond the 2 that I got. I do imagine that keeping the express gig tag on your gig for a while would definitely help.I checked out that thread and I did find some nice tips. Thanks!-Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triple_rrr Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 So, I think I’ve figured out a way for this to work.I recently received a large order for multiple gigs. I made sure to update my gig to 1 day delivery and update my title to include "TODAY only / 12hr delivery"When I finished the large order, and was given positive reviews (10 of them), I believe my gig jumps up higher in the search queue. Now, that my gig has jumped up higher, I’ve been getting orders fairly steadily now.I’ve received 1 an hour for the past few hours.I will update you guys when the day is done.

freestyle25 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Reply to @triple_rrr: That’s great news! Thanks for keeping us updated! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triple_rrr Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 The initial boost to sales happened right away.I got 3 orders in about 3 hours. I have been averaging only about 1 a day. So, there was a bump, but it didn’t seem to last.I’m going to keep it at 12Hr Delivery for a while and see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freestyle25 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 The express gig is seriously nerve-wracking! The countdown is looks foreboding lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triple_rrr Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 The express gig is definitely nerve-wracking. But it helps to keep me busy!I’m starting to pick up some serious steam.I’ve gotten an average of 8 orders a day since I’ve changed it to 12 hour delivery.Most of my sales come from sellers ordering multiple gigs.I’ve started to include a pdf document with links to my other gigs and a link to a Tips gig. We’ll see if anyone bites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
