Wait for what? and more efficient at what exactly? The person that posted this has had a gig for 4 years and no orders. I think it might be worth trying something other than waiting by now. Fiverr is not a platform where you create a low effort gig then depend on wishful thinking to be successful. @yanitap, I've had a look at one of your gigs. It is in a category with over a quarter of a million sellers. You need to find a niche in your category and add some examples of your previous work, even if you create some of your own personal projects, you can add those to your portfolio and write a little about your design decisions etc. At the moment, your gig just looks like the hundreds of thousands of other generic looking logo design gigs.

Addressing the things mentioned by @vickieito is vastly more important than implementing marketing strategies.

You have the following in the FAQ of your gig: "I will make your business 3x bigger. And I will multiply your sales many times over." Who in their right mind would believe such a claim? Do you have any evidence of working with a customer showing that you made a business 3x bigger and multiplied sales? Be realistic about what you can achieve, Writing something like this makes you appear untrustworthy. It sounds like a sales pitch to a gullible child instead of a serious potential buyer. Your gig description is not well written, it appears to be poorly chopped around bits and pieces of some AI generated text. You claim to have "successfully managed Pages across various industries such as Health and fitness, NFT and Crypto, Travel, Fashion And Beauty, E-commerce and retailing, Food and Beverage, Pet Products, and more" Why aren't any of these in your portfolio?

One reason you are not getting buyers is because you have zero evidence to back up the claims you make in your gig descriptions. Fiverr is way too competitive now, gone are the days where you can just put up a gig and make a bunch of claims about your expertise with nothing to show for it and still get sales. You are in competition with thousands of other sellers, many of which are level 2, have hundreds of 5 star reviews with similar prices to yours and have portfolios full of work examples. Why would a buyer take a risk on you? Add some items to your portfolio and gig images as evidence of your claim to being a skilled/professional website designer and digital marketer. Write about how your lead capturing page service improved a customer's sales. Also, your own gig description for lead capture pages looks very obviously written by ChatGPT, If you can't write your own gig without ChatGPT how are you going to do the customer's? Buyers have common sense and good judgement just as I'm sure you have when buying something, put yourself in the buyer's shoes and ask yourself why would you choose your gig over the thousands of others? Give the buyer a reason to choose you.

I had a look at some of your gigs, one of them is in a category with over 33,000 sellers, including page after page of Top Rated and Level 2 sellers with thousands of reviews and portfolios with real examples of their work. Plucking pictures from the internet and putting them in your gig is not how you get customers (your gig has at least 3 images that are not yours, one from a social media blog post, and 2 of them are just screenshots of some celebrities with arrows pointing at the number of followers). You say you are an expert at this with 3 years experience and "has been involved in various projects & collaboration with many clients and big companies" where are the examples of these real customers you have worked with? Do you have any figures showing the difference you made for a customer's social media presence? for example, number of followers before and after you helped? To me, it seems like you watched a youtube video titled "make money fast on fiverr" or something like that and you just jumped straight in without having any real experience in the gigs you have created. That may not be the case, but that's how it appears to me. Also, there are spelling and grammatical errors throughout your gigs. I understand you are probably just trying to make some money to help support your family, but Fiverr is not "easy money" no matter what the click-bait videos on Youtube say, you actually need to be skilled in something and be able to show evidence of that skill.

You need to be honest about what you can achieve, I did a reverse image search of the image on your first gig you listed and that image is all over the internet and does not belong to you nor is it a true representation of the results you have achieved for previous customers. You say you are an expert in your field yet you have no real examples of your work in your gig description and nothing in your portfolio. As a buyer I would not choose your service for these reasons. Apologies for being blunt, but there really is no other way to say it.

Thanks @filipdevaere, Happy new year. The promoted gigs feature is not for me then, I understand it is useful for others though. Seems way too easy for the competition to play the system and sabotage the ad, especially given some of the tactics I've observed from some sellers on this forum who have no issues lying about their experience, skills, certifications and language.

Hi, I was considering promoting my gig to see if it is worthwhile for me and noticed that it works based on number of clicks on the advertised gig up to a certain limit you are willing to pay. I started wondering, what is there to prevent your competition from clicking on your advertised gigs with no intention of ordering from you just to get you to reach your limit and effectively remove your gig's advertisement? Is there anything in place to protect promoted gigs from potential misuse by other sellers? Thanks

yep, I completed a job that was apparently urgent and I accommodated the customer by delivering within 24 hours, that was 6 days ago, the job is still in review after the buyer extended review period with zero comments as to why.

Ohh you just reminded me of this. Theatrical recreation of an argument in a body building forum about the number of days in a week. (Language warning)

Thanks all, fixed now. I still look like an idiot but I'll live with that 😁

Hi, just wanted to say this was an entertaining read and was nice to learn a bit about some of the regulars I see while lurking on the forums. I'm relatively new, having just earned my "no longer gets triggered by 'why no order' posts" badge. Thanks for the laughs. I brought Shawarma, but only one, because times are a bit tough. P.S no double dipping the chips in the tahini.

This was exactly my concern too. Not from a contractual perspective, but more a question over my commitment to both the job and freelancing at the same time.

Hi, For the freelancers out there who have gigs which use the same skills as their regular day jobs, have you added your experience from Fiverr on to your CV? If so, has the Fiverr stuff ever been mentioned in an interview when applying for a new job? was it negative or positive reaction? I'm weighing up the pros and cons of putting it in but still undecided. Hoping to get some thoughts and experiences from the forum please.

Sure, "We are a qualified, SEO expert and content marketing specialist with over 5 years of experience in the digital marketing field" Where are your gig images or gig descriptions showing proof of your over 5 years experience? It doesn't need to be Fiverr customers, surely in your 5+ years of experience working as an SEO expert you have delivered something to at least one customer. Post something in your portfolio about that customer's requirements, and what you did to help them and include screenshots and statistics of the difference your service made for them. "We are the best guest post, off-page SEO, guest blogging, backlink outreach, and content writing service provider." Based on what metric do you make this claim? How can you quantify or prove you are the best? should the customer take your word for it? Even top rated sellers in your category don't claim to be the best. To me, your gig is like you have a store with a sign out the front with a short description of what you sell. Inside the store it is empty except for a cash register or payment terminal. The shop does not have any catalogues or examples of the products you sell. Your policy is to expect the customer to blindly hand over their money and take your word for it that you will deliver them a good product. Don't underestimate your customers, just because the majority of buyers are from countries which statically have higher incomes, they still look for value and credibility before making a purchase. Give them a reason to believe and trust you.
