Setup Your Fiverr Gig.

  • Short Gig Title

Clear and concise titles perform better. Use a verb after the "I will".

Examples (create, do, write, promote etc.) Make sure to optimize your keywords for search engines (SEO). It is not critical to get each and every word perfect but make sure that the words that describes your gig is being used in your gig title, search tags, gig description and even in your questions.




 

  • Gig Packages

Fiverr has 3 packages within a gig that you can use, basic, standard and premium.

Your basic package is usually the test package where people can buy your gig cheaply to check out your skill level. Once clients get to know you they will opt for your standard and premium packages.

You can fine tune-tune your gigs as you deal with people and their comments.



 

  • Detailed Gig Description         

This is your opportunity to sell your services and let customers know why they should do business with you. Descriptions are limited to 1,200 characters so you have to be concise and clear. Describe exactly what your gig will do and what the client will get.

Create questions that you think clients will ask or questions they asked you before so that no misunderstandings might come up.



Why is your description important?


You need to persuade people to buy your gig. Your description will help you do this. Use all 1200 available characters to highlight your gig benefits, uniqueness and answer FAQ's here so customers don't hesitate to place an order.

Step 1: Describe the result the customer wants:

"Do you want to SELL your products or services in a BIG way?"


Step 2: Show some social proof. i.e. why they need to buy from you:

"I have been in web development and SEO for 10 years working with multinational companies"


Step 3: Make it clear what you get for $5, if you have a entry level package.

"You will get an on site seo audit of the main keywords"


Step 4: Call to Action + Guarantees.

"Buy my basic package and see the positive results"

 

  • Video And Images

Fiverr has released statistics that Gigs with a video describing your service sell 220% more than those without. You can create a video explaining your service by talking on camera. If you don't like to be on camera you can do a slide show or use a seller on fiverr to make you a video.




  • Targeted Extras

Gig Extras is where you make your money. Upselling your client is key to a successful gig. See the gig extras as a complete package when you pair them with your gig.


  • Ask For Feedback

Given that most people won’t leave feedback unless prompted, try adding a postscript to each of your delivery templates asking buyers to leave a rating and comment if they found the Gig valuable. Fiverr don't really like when you ask clients to give you a good rating so use this at your own discretion.


  • Offer A Guarantee

          I include a 100 percent money back guarantee on my Gigs. I’ve only had to implement it once so far. After he gave me a "thumbs  down”, I offered to cancel the order. When he accepted the cancellation, he was refunded and the negative rating disappeared. Be careful, however, cancellation stats are  publicly visible and can be a red flag both to buyers and sellers.
