newsmike Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Great advice @ali_haider125. I really appreciate it!Thank you.HI, welcome. The key from my experience is that you have to be careful not to get frustrated at the beginning. The hardest part is getting any visibility when you are starting. As you complete orders and get feedback the system starts to give you more visibility. So, here’s what I did, and it may be helpful for you.Edit your gig and make sure it is as clean as possible. Compare it to top sellers in your category and make certain that it is just as professional.Make sure to respond to 10 buyers requests per day. Every day. At the beginning you need to start completing orders to make the system see that your gig is active and being ordered. That makes you a bit more visible. Until you get level 1, take any orders you can complete even if it is more work than you would normally do. Once you get level 1, you can become a little more picky and start holding the line a bit more.Accept the fact that fiverr will get slow sometimes, this is normal. Don’t give up. You will do great if you stay with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heiditranslates Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 at first i was skeptical, but then if you remain patient, you gain traction and it gets better. And also you learn a lot along the way how to deal with customers, which ones are on it for the long run, which are going to be a headache. But mostly what I have learnt is to be patient.

zezzinc Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Constantly be improving. Set up your gig, and tomorrow look at it again. You will notice something could be improved, whether it be your gig description, photo, FAQ, etc. Do this every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeus777 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Hello and welcome.For someone who is offering a FB header design gig, I’m surprised that you have onlyone sample image and that alone doesn’t really show your skills. You might want to work on that a bit more!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulviking Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I joined Fiverr 2 months ago and the first impression was like "How the **** should I get orders with SO many competitors in my category?"I changed my gig picture and tags so many times and in the end, I think that it was not a great idea. The better idea is to take a lot of time for it and let it be. There is also no secret to get orders, just deliver top work, take your time to communicate with your customers.What got me the most orders (and still does) is the buyer’s request. Pick them wisely, take your time and reply in a way that they get the impression that you know 100% what you are doing and HOW you can make their lives better (for just $5, ha?)After my first two months, I already got promoted to a Level 2 seller.Good luck 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I hit level 2, my sales came to a screeching halt. Mainly because Fiverr decreased my Impressions. They really pump up new and level one sellers to get them going. So when I hit level 2, it slowed way down. Right now I’m getting sales here and there, but I just keep on keeping on and doing the things newsmike suggested. Hang in there!

rankinfinite Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I got my first order within 14 hours and I thought I would be an instant hit. Today is my eighth day and haven’t got any order since.I need to work harder and smarter, I will do whatever it takes to become a top seller.
