capitalquality Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 I see a lot of posts on the forum recently suggesting that buyers should give new sellers a chance.My question to all of you is, why on Earth should they?Unfortunately for you, as a new seller your profile and gig descriptions have to be at least as enticing and convincing to a buyer as a seller who’s been on Fiverr for years and tweaked and teased at their profile and gigs every other month, if not better.It’s not enough to tell buyers what you do and wait for the orders, and you can’t ask them nicely to order from you, so you have to show them that you’re good at what you do and that their money will be safe with you. Your profile and gig pages have to shout out from the page, “I’M FRIGGING AWESOME. THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD ORDER FROM ME EVEN THOUGH I’M NEW…” Please don’t use those exact words.The only tool not available to you that is available to established sellers is that you don’t have any reviews for buyers to go on. You have every other tool that every one else has. In fact you have an added advantage in that Fiverr’s search engine favours new gigs. Do all the things the academy and forum tell you to do: Get ideas from other popular gigs (DON’T copy them), make great videos, write great gig descriptions, attach great images, add a PDF of examples of your work. If you can’t do that yourself, or your English isn’t that great, pay someone to do it for you. If you’re serious about making Fiverr work for you (or any business for that matter) initial capital investment is almost always necessary and it’s not wasted if it gets you customers.New sellers on Fiverr get sales all the time, every day. If you’re not getting sales that’s down to you and only you can change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silberma1976 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I think as experienced sellers, we have the ability to help new sellers. Some people have talent, just not the language skills to express that talent. Lets have a community where we help lift each other up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladybugbusy Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Nice post! Usually new sellers fail to sell a gig because they only think about their needs (to sell something) but don`t think about the buyers needs.Why should someone buy you something just because you need that money?

capitalquality Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 A bit of advice - you need to change your profile picture. That’s clearly not you. If you don’t want to use a picture of you, use a caricature or logo. Also, what is heapost or heapest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seotalent Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 New sellers atleast must have proper communication skills, in start, you will not get orders directly from search, you have to get order from buyers request section, but again, you must have good communications skills so that the buyer can hire you regardless of zero reviews on your profile!

miiila Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 But I´m sure you get some spam-views, aka free impressions sometimes, and if only from someone who wants to look at your pic with your dogs for a brief smile when done reading your great posts and all the comments on them.
