Fiverr is one of the largest and most popular freelance marketplaces. Many freelancer prefer Fiverr over Upwork..
It’s a little bit easier compared to Upwork for getting orders.
In this post, I’ll share some insights and tips on how you can get your first order on Fiverr.
Choose a Specific Niche
I’ll suggest to go with Specific niche.. For Example: If you are WordPress designer & SEO Expert..
If you’re creating three gigs, you could offer: WordPress Customization, WordPress SEO, and WordPress Blog Website Development.
Choose a niche that you’re confident and skilled in..
Write a Compelling Gig Description
Write a description that includes your main keyword. For example, if your gig is about ‘WordPress Blog Website,’ make sure to use this keyword in both the title and the description.
- Start strong: Hook the buyer in the starting line.
- Be clear: Explain exactly what you offer.
- Use bullet points: Make it easy to understand.
- Add keywords: Help your gig show up in Fiverr search.
Create Eye-Catching Gig Images
Thumbnail Image is the first Impression user click on your Gig..
Tips:
Check top gigs on your keyword and see which one appealing you most..
You can create your own gig similar to theirs—not exactly the same, but with your unique touch.
Add a Gig Video on Fiverr (Optional but Powerful)
If you add Video in your your Gig.. And no one is using Video in your niche..
It’s an opportunity you can take advantage of, and using a video works better than just a thumbnail — it’s not necessary.
Price Your Gig Competitively
As a new seller, pricing your gigs strategically can be the key to get your first order on fiverr.
Since you’re new and don’t have reviews yet, offering a lower price can attract your first few clients.
Focus on building trust and receive 5-star reviews — once your profile gains momentum, you can increase your rates gradually.
Promote Outside Fiverr
Don’t just wait for buyers to find you — take first step.
Share your Fiverr gig on social media platforms like LinkedIn, Twitter, Reddit communities or Start a blog relevant to your niche.
You can also write blog posts, make YouTube videos, and join forums to drive external traffic to your gigs.
