What would you do differently if starting out on fiverr again?

To all experienced sellers what would you do differently if starting out on fiverr again?

[fonthaunt]

I’ll have to give this some thought before replying, but I think it’s a really interesting question. This is a cool question since it’s kind of a new angle on an old topic. Nicely said, @lloydsolutions!

I feel things evolved in my case exactly the way they were destined to. I would have looked for and found fiverr sooner is the only difference.

[hanashivoice]

I, personally, would have chosen a better username. “hanashivoice” doesn’t exactly say “I’m a video/audio editor”. It was my go-to name for a while and I didn’t think much of it when I signed up with Fiverr; I didn’t anticipate becoming semi-successful the way I did.

I don’t think I’d do anything differently, as like @misscrystal, I think it just evolved as it was meant to. I spent a long time researching my area and writing my profile and gigs. Beyond that it was all the luck of the draw. I’m not sure I would do anything differently.

[jey242]

Yeah me too. I would have choosen a username to match my current gigs. When I first started I had different gigs. I wish I started out with the gigs I have now.

I wouldn’t do anything different at all…I have had a marvelous experience on Fiverr so far, every month here has brought me great pleasure - not just financially, but in terms of satisfaction and giving me a purpose in my life. Couldn’t be happier. Of course, I would wish that people in my country would respect freelancers and not treat us like losers of the worst kind, but guess that’s asking for too much 🙂

And I want to thank one nice elderly gentleman from Florida, a veterinarian, who placed 65-75 1-gig orders with me when I was a newbie. I don’t see him around anymore…but if not for the initial push given by him to me, I wouldn’t do so well. I hope he is doing great, I haven’t heard from him in over a year. God bless him.

Had I known, I would have made my Gig url’s shorter.

[sujit1717]

I will tell myself to do more research and take Fiverr seriously…🙂 Its awesome!!!

[outcomesmeasure]

I would take notes (practically typing or writing it down somewhere) of all the good points I see here in the forums. So far, just made mental notes.

[lloydsolutions]

All positive and helpful. Thanks guys!

[iammrlonely]

You can say I’m doing so, I’m starting out on fiverr again. I’ve deleted my gigs and created new ones. The first thing I thought of, I want to change my username 😃 Why the hell everyone wants to do so. Dunno!

[webchief]

I would buy whiteboard from start. everything else, would do just the same 🙂

[copymarketer]

Well, i dunno what to do different cos i’m just starting! 🙂

[ryancaldarone]

I think I start over at least once every few months or so; having been active for 7 months so far, I think I’ve “reinvented” my seller strategy three or four times… Nothing is static, or perfect at the start here.

I would respond to anyone asking this question with one of my own: why do you have to start over to change?

In each case of my “reinvention” of my services, I find myself usually streamlining (reducing/strengthening) my gigs, identifying my ideal client demo, and writing a list of what works/what doesn’t work, as a reflection of recent sales.

[anamariaedan]

In my case, I would start with the gigs I currently have instead of virtual assistant gigs. When I first found Fiverr I had no idea what I should do, especially because in my domain (academic writing/translations) there was so many sellers. Gradually, I discovered that it’s the quality of the work that makes you stand out and you can get your gig sold if the service you have to offer is high quality.

[conradd]

I would have taken fiverr seriously as well.

[Guest theycallmerick]

How can I show people the quality of my work if no one is buying? The work I’m trying to do is humanitarian-- So I need confessionals, but I don’t have any.

[emmaki]

Make more gigs that focus on business. Help a business to reach out to its customers better through EQ or something. The psychic market has your market cornered, so focus on unique and where the money is: business. If you know NLP flog that dead horse for all its worth.

[esthernyambura]

I wouldn’t do anything different at all

Attention please expert seller, I have joined fiverr about 8 month ago. I gave there gigs. Now I am…razzaka

[jey242]

Maybe the gigs need a little bit more razzatitieve?

[psychicbunny]

Yes I agree!

[seochick786]

Good question. I really need to think about it to answer as I’m not that experienced seller here at fiverr.
