I've been selling on Fiverr for a year and a half now and have made hundreds through it selling various types of services. Most people overlook Fiverr because you only get $4 per sale (Fiverr take 20%) but there are people who make thousands every month from Fiverr and make a full time living off of it. I struggled when I first joined Fiverr and just wanted to share some tips to anyone considering Fiverr or struggling to make sales like I did.
1. Don't wait for people to come to you
Fiverr ranks your gigs for you in their search engine but it doesn't mean that everyone will suddenly find your gig. I made the mistake of not promoting my gigs and I never got any sales. Go to forums in the niche of the service you are selling and promote it there, or even on the Fiverr seller forum. You can also promote it on social media groups related to the service too like Facebook fan pages.
2. Overdeliver
Make sure to always overdeliver. Example: If you say you're giving away 50 backlinks, give away 60. This will lead to outstanding reviews on your gig, and will make people want to buy your service again or recommend you to a friend.
3.Get people to return
Around 35% of my earnings come from returning customers. This comes from overdelivering and giving them more than promised after they have ordered some gigs. I underestimated how much money returning customers can bring in at first, so make sure you get people to keep coming back!
4. Take advantages of gig extra
Once you get lots of orders as a seller and level up, you can offer gig extra's. These are great for earning more money per gig and even encouraging people to buy. I like to have one saying for an extra $5 I will do x1.5 what the current gig offers. I've had good success with this.
5. Make an appealing picture and description
I've experimented a lot with different picture and video thumbnails to maximize conversions, and it really is trial and error. Having an appealing picture is key to attracting attention and getting sales. Make it stand out, bright and related to the service you are offering.
These are just some important tips I've picked up that I thought I'd share with everyone here to help people out.
If you have any questions about Fiverr, I'd be happy to answer them!
