syedjeffery Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Hello Everyone! How are you doing? I am sure you’re doing great!It’s been almost an year in Fiverr and a few months before I took this platform seriously and believe me it was such a relief to know that I did. I was grateful to quit my current job and become a full-time freelancer. As a Fiverr Seller (and buyer), I have made quite a community (especially here in Pakistan). And a lot of people have been asking how I am still getting impressions and sales everyday. Because ever since the Fiverr has updated its algorithm; some people are having problems; specially the ones who were making handsome revenue from Fiverr alone and it was their only source of income.So if you’re one of those people who are struggling to make money; this post is for you. Here is a trick that I hypothesized and realized that it works for everybody: I told some of my friends to do what I did and it worked for them too.My hypothesis was: if Fiverr’s algorithm is updating itself frequently, shouldn’t we be updating our gigs frequently too? It makes sense, right?Here is what I told them:Update Your Gig and Make it More ProfessionalBelieve me or not but a lot of us DON’T improve our gigs and they stay the same as they were created in the first place. It might be because we think that our current gig is quite good enough as it produced sales before, and so it should today too.But to be honest, that’s not the case in Fiverr as this platform continuously updates itself and adapts, and improves; so should you.In my opinion, Fiverr’s algorithm love gigs that are updated frequently and:Have a Detailed Explanation of What You Provide to the ClientAre Written in English that’s not a Copy-Paste and is Free from ErrorsInclude an Explainer Video About Your Gig (Optional but Recommended)By updating the gigs, you show to Fiverr that you’re constantly improving yourself and adapting to the big freelance market. I am not sure how to put it in words but I’d strongly recommend you to give it a try. I am certain you won’t regret updating your gig.P.S. Don’t upload a bad explainer video as it will turn customers away. I haven’t uploaded one yet because I want to upload an explainer video that clearly defines me and what I provide to clients, in a professional and jaw-dropping way.P.P.S Always hire someone to work for you. For example, I hired a graphic designer to come up with a really attractive banner that I have on my gigs. I’d suggest you do the same but I am sure you may already be doing this as it’s a no-brainer opinion anyway.Thank you for taking your time reading it. Let me know what you think about this post and feel free to add your thoughts in comments. I’d love to read your suggestions!Best Wishes,Adeel Abbas.A Freelance Wordsmith at Fiverr.

zubairfb Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Sometime, during update you even do bad and lose ranking… Don’t update unless you are having poor GIG ranking… If your sales are handsome, just keep floating… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minahmmas Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 I think “Frequently” updating of the gigs have a negative impact as well. Because whenever I edit my gigs, they vanish from the search engine for a limited time frame.And I find my gig to the lower position before it was updated. So, I am a little bit of confused regarding this issue whether updating gig is good or bad.After all, thanks for sharing your tips. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syedjeffery Posted July 8, 2017 Author Share Posted July 8, 2017 Helpful ! But i experienced if i update my gig its hide from first pageYes, it does hide from the front page but for a limited time only. As I have said, if your gig has some good aspects (which I mentioned in the post) then it will produce more impressions; leading to more sales.As I have mentioned in the post, if you are getting a lot of impressions but no sales; I’d be a good time to hire a copywriter for your gig description and a graphic designer for your banner or video.@sheikhalijabed You are welcome.Thanks.

I have seen your profile and it seems you need to retouch your gig description a little bit. I would suggest that you find top-rated sellers (that sell similar services) and inspire yourself from their gigs.@zubairfb It depends on your gig actually. If you’re getting improved impressions after the update but no sales; there is something missing in your gig description or video. But experiences can vary.Thanks!

Updating your gigs will make it vanish from the search engine’s top page for a limited time. But it will eventually be revealed to those who are looking for gigs like yours. Fiverr’s algorithm is very smart. It shows the gigs to people according to their search patterns. #Fiverr-Tips:tips-for-sellersIn my experience, whenever I update my gigs, it gives me more impressions and I eventually end up with more sales. However, this is what I experienced. It can be different for someone else.The reason you might be getting a bad experience from the update can be because you are missing captivating magic in your gig. I have taken a look at your gig. In my opinion, you need to polish your videos.Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayeshayasin Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Well I agree with you, Mr. Jaffer, rarticularly, on a point that one should have a explainer video but not for sake for video, it should be catchy and attractive, otherwise, it will be counter productive in terms of converting visitor to customers.I would like to add something here, in context of new algo, I think, fiverr demand sellers to be more active on forums, social sharing for getting traffic.

I haven’t uploaded one yet because I want to upload an explainer video that clearly defines me and what I provide to clients,By the way, you can create a compelling video using PowerPoint. Then you can record your own voice narrating it, or hire someone on Fiverr to do so.I created my profile video with PP and then narrated it. It’s easy to change the theme to create a whole new look, either to update your gig or when creating a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t know what I should be sayingThanks. I guess it’s time that I add videos to my gigs. I just don’t know what I should be sayingIt doesn’t have to be elaborate to have an impact. Aim for content that is 60 seconds or less, since people have short attention spans and are usually in a hurry.Think of what your buyer’s potential needs may be and how you might meet them with your gig.For example, in a part of my video I say something to the effect of the need for a warm trusting voice for a phone system. I realize that’s what many buyers are looking for when they come to the site.Using engaging graphics, a short, but compelling script and a great music track are a winning combination for a great profile video.

I wouldn’t ask you how much money you earn, simply because it’s very rude.Knowing how much a stranger is earning is not my intention. The author was suggesting us how to earn based on his experience. So like other users, I was curious to know how Fiverr’s basic $5 can make some one to leave their job.And please note that when you are in public you might face such questions. It is not a personal question and nothing wrong in asking the author more details on what he said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
