Before this article do read the introduction to Fiverr, How to create a Fiverr gig? Then tips and tricks for a unique gig. After reading all of them come to this article for a better understanding of this topic. 

You have to make your gig and update your profile the same way I have told you to do and then apply these tricks to increase the ranking of your gig.

Why It Is Important To Be On Page One?

If you have created a gig and it is on page 10 or 12. Getting orders is another scenario, do you think someone will even visit your gig? 

Try to think like a buyer. If you are a Fiverr buyer and you want to buy a gig. Which gigs will catch your attention or on which gigs you want to place your order? Obviously, your preference will the gigs who appear in your eyes first. 

So, gigs displaying on the first page on Fiverr search are the highlighted and most successful gigs. Those get the highest orders and impressions that is why it is important to rank your Fiverr gig on page one. 

How To Rank Your Fiverr Gig

Summarizing some of the ways to rank your Fiverr gig on the first page: 

REMAIN ACTIVE

I can’t emphasize enough on this. I must say this is one of the most important ways you can rank your gig. By remaining active I meant is to be online on your Fiverr account 24/7.

Day time is different according to your timezone, it is important if you are active in your daytime which is easily possible. At the night Fiverr automatically detects that it’s night and you might not be able to do reply. 

But I would recommend being online whenever and wherever you can. There are some easy ways to do so:

• If you are using only the desktop version of Fiverr, get a Fiverr app on your mobile. 
• Download auto-refresh for your desktop and keep your laptop on 24/7.
• Set auto-refresh to every 5 minutes. This will make you active all day and night.

LESSER RESPONSE TIME

Make sure that your average response time is not more than 1 or 2 hours. This will be possible if your reply in 1 hour to every first message that came at the start of each conversation.

If your response time is more, your gig ranking will also drop as Fiverr will detect that you are less active than others.

TRY TO GET REGULAR ORDERS

Ranking of your gig also depends upon that how frequently you are getting orders and are you getting orders on your gig or not?

If you are getting regular orders from time to time your gig will also rank in no time to page one.

GET GOOD FEEDBACK

Try to get good positive feedback on your every order. This will be possible if:

• The service you have provided to the client is high-quality.
• You submitted your work before the deadline. 
• Your conversation abilities are good, and you communicate with the buyer well.

AVAIL ALL BUYER’S REQUESTS PER DAY

What Fiverr offers is the 10 buyers request for each seller in 2 hours. Try to avail of all of them. The least will happen is that you will not get an order but the action shows the Fiverr marketplace that you are interested and you eagerly want orders.

This will also show that you are an active user of this freelance market place and all this will help in ranking your Fiverr gig eventually.

SEO IS A MUST

In my last article as well, I told you all that why SEO is so important for Fiverr and how Fiverr SEO is done. 

Fiverr SEO is one of the most important aspects of ranking your Fiverr gig. See my previous article to learn how to get your Fiverr gig Search engine optimized.

DON’T SELL YOUR GIGS IN LESS

Some of the buyers request you a lot of work in exchange for less amount. A few days back I got a message from a seller who wants me to write 1000 words article in 1$ and he was needing 11 of those for 11$ in a day. 

The least I can charge for 1000 words article is 20$. So, what he was offering was not even near to my gigs price. That is why I politely let him down. I advise you to do the same. If you sell your services lesser than what they deserve, will decrease your value and your gig’s value as well.

PROMOTION AND MARKETING

Again repeating this but as done in my previous article as well. I will explain why promoting and marketing your gig is important?

If you have created anything for instance your gig, no one knows. You have to tell people about it, you have to gain traffic towards your gig. Without marketing and promotion, your gig will be hidden. 

Reach out to the most people possible through social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, or your personal contacts. This will increase your impressions and likes on your gig and hence helps in ranking.

Some promotions and marketing strategies are paid. If you can afford you can go towards them as well. But as a beginner, I would recommend you to do the basics first and grow gradually.

In conclusion, to rank your Fiverr gig on page one is important as explained above. But, all these strategies and processes take time. Don’t get impatient. Start working on them today and wait for the results patiently. Click here for more explanations.

A Fiverr gig is the most important thing to value if you want to be suhttps://ceekhly.com/an-easy-approach-to-a-fiverr-gig-as-a-beginner/ccessful as a freelancer on the Fiverr platform. When I first joined Fiverr I did a lot of mistakes so I like to address them, for you all to avoid them and do everything right from the very beginning.

Why Fiverr Gig Ranking Is Important

The gig is the only way a buyer can see what you are and what you can offer him. If there are flaws in the showcase of your skills no one wants to buy from you. You will be disheartened and think freelancing is not for you, instead, there are a lot of problems are freelancers can face, still, some of them succeed in the end. 

If you have a question on your mind that how to be successful on Fiverr? The answer is one that ranks your gig and is successful. If your gig is up to the mark and you will do whatever I am telling you in this text, believe me, you will soon be a successful seller on Fiverr.

Fiverr Tips and Tricks for a Gig 

I am listing below the most important Fiverr gig ranking tips in my opinion are very important and no one will tell you that. If you do this from the very beginning your gig will rank in a lesser time period.

RESEARCH

Why I kept research at the top? A general rule of thumb is whenever you are starting anything like a business or any job or let’s say Fiverr, you must do your homework about that. When you are starting on Fiverr. You created a new gig you are actually entering the battlefield of the freelance marketplace. 

As soon as you published your gig, your competition started with other sellers on the Fiverr platform. You might be a newbie to freelancing and they might be an expert. Competing with them will be difficult for you if you don’t know about them.

So do this even before creating a gig. I will be discussing two things under this heading one by one.

Cut Down Your Competition:

• Switch to buyer mode and search your category you are about to make a gig. 
• Let’s say your gig is about logo design (this is your keyword), by searching you will get the result that how many services are available on Fiverr for this skill.

• 124,583 services are available against your skill and your keyword of “logo design”. 
• If you try different keywords and elaborate more about the type of service you are offering like in the second picture I have changed the keyword to “unique logo design”. This decreases the service count from 124,583 to 118,767.
• Now I try another keyword of “simple logo design” and now the available gig under this keyword is only 29,305 which are more than 4 times lesser than the above keywords.
• Like this research about your category and select your targeted keyword in such a way that you have to face lesser competition.

Research About Your Competitors:

• Once you have selected the appropriate keyword for your gig, the next step is analyzing your competition.
• Analyze that in your selected category, which sellers are on the first page and from them who are having more orders.
• Shortlist those people and study their gigs, find out how they are displaying their gigs, what they are offering, and how much they are charging.
• By this, you will get an idea of what is the price your skill is selling fast, and what changes you can make in your gig to stand on the competition better.

THE TITLE OF YOUR GIG

The title of your gig is very important as it is the first line or you can say the first impression anybody will see about or read about you.

• Your gig title will be your gig’s URL so choose your title wisely.
• It must be short and sweet.
• It must contain your researched keyword for the example above I have research for “simple logo design”.

SEO

In today’s era, every content present on the internet needs SEO (search engine optimization). In Fiverr also you need to display your gig details based on SEO. Here are some Fiverr SEO tips:

• Your researched keyword must be contained in your gig’s title. 
• The targeted keyword must be present in your gig’s description not more than 3 times.  Avoid overstuffing it.
• Try to put your keyword in your pricing description as well.
• Put your target keyword in your image name. 

MARKET YOUR GIG

The question is how to boost your Fiverr gig? And the answer is through Marketing. 

Once you have made and published your gig. Try to share it on every social media platform you have. Share your gig with your friends and family. Try to get more visitors to your gig, and marketing your gig will help you to achieve that.

You can market your gig on Facebook, Twitter, or you can also copy the link and spread through other platforms such as Whatsapp. 

GIG MEDIA

Fiverr gig media include images, videos, audio, and PDF files. In my opinion, if you try to insert more media this will elaborate your skills further in an attractive way. Most people only use one image which is compulsory for Fiverr gig making. If you use different media files and more than the one you can stand out unique in the whole ocean of the gig market.

NUMBER OF GIGS

Most people make only those gigs and that many as they had skills. I would recommend if you have only 1 skill make 7 gigs in that with different perspectives.

For example, if you are a logo designer, make 7 different gigs selecting 7 different matching keywords, and selecting the different styles of logos in each gig. This will give you 7 chances to get hired instead of one.

So, the tip is to make all 7 gigs, whether you have 1 skill, 2 skills, or all 7 skills.

PRICING OF A GIG

In pricing your gig there are some tips you can take care of:

• Select and make all 3 packages and not 1.
• Always as a new seller give unlimited revisions.
• Always fill out the gig extras section.
• Keep your basic package cheap as low as 5-10$, as you are just starting.

Lastly, Tip of the day is “Be Unique yet Attractive” no matter whatever you create, it must not be copied. You can just get an idea and then create your own content to stand out from the crowd.

Fiverr’s introduction is already done in the previous article now in this post I will discuss all the special terms known as Gig to sell your skills on a freelance marketplace: Fiverr.

Introduction to a Fiverr Gig 

A gig meaning in Fiverr in easy words is nothing but just a showcase or a magazine of your skills as a seller. Like if you go to a shop and different products are showcasing on the shelf, with prices mentioned below, but they all belong to one shop. A buyer comes to the shop and buys the product of his need, a Fiverr Gig works the same way.

As a freelance seller, you showcase your skills and talents on the shelf or platform of Fiverr with the prices mentioned below, collectively called a gig. If the buyer needs to buy any service from you he will go through your Gig and if it meets his requirements he will place an order there.

Easy Gig Setup For a New Fiverr Seller 

Once you are done with your Fiverr signup, the next step is to create a gig to start selling. Here’s a step by step method for that:

When you switch your account to selling, there will an option of Gig in the category section, click that and go to the option as Create a new gig!

OVERVIEW OF A GIG

Overview of your gig contains the following:

• Gig Title: 

These are the skills you want to showcase in your gig. In the above example, the seller is selling a service for logo design. The title contains up to 80 words.

• Category:

The category and subcategory suggest what your gig is about and will be shown among the corresponding services. Like in the above example it is shown that the seller’s gig is about the logo so a category is graphic and design and the subcategory is logo designing. This category can’t be changed once a gig is published.

• Gig Metadata:

This section is different in all the categories and it further describes and specifies your gig, such as the above metadata showing the style in which you will create the logo design and the file format you will provide. 

• Search Tags

Do these tags specify that if a buyer wants for example a logo design what they will search? If you tag your gig with the relevant keywords your service will appear in their search options. You can enter 5 tags in total. After that click saves and continues to jump on pricing.

PRICING OF YOUR GIG

Further comprising of 2 subcategories such as pricing and gig extras.

• Pricing and Scope

You can choose one package or all three packages for your Fiverr gig. Select the name as per your liking. Then add a short description for each package. Set out the delivery time. The number of revisions the buyer will get from you. 

Specific services you will provide in the different service gigs in different packages. Lastly, the price anywhere between 5$ to 995$ for your package or your gig. 

• Add Extra Gig Service

This section varies from service to service, this is just for bringing extra kick and attraction to your Fiverr gig. It can also determine, what you will charge if somebody wants to buy extra things or services. 

For example: if your package says you will deliver in 3 days and someone wants delivery in 1 day. You can charge extra for delivery in 1 day. Determine in gig’s extra about it.

GIG’S DESCRIPTION

Creating a Fiverr gig description is one of the most important parts of creating a gig. 1200 characters will all you get to describer artistically and attractively that what services you will be provided in this gig.

Fiverr gig description contains all the minimum and maximum information about your service. But it will also let the buyers decide why they buy your services and skills. Spend most of your time while making a text in this part and choose wisely what to write in it. You can see a sample here.

In this part, you can also get a subsection of Frequently asked questions and answers. You can add FAQs here what you think most buyers will have in mind and add them there, creating a good impression on a buyer.

WHAT ARE GIG’S REQUIREMENTS

This part is for you, that when somebody places the order on your gig what you will be needing to start working. You can add multiple requirements you might need if someone places the order on your gig. Add them as per your needs and clicks continue and save.

SETUP MEDIA FILES FOR YOUR FIVERR GIG

The last thing is the media setup for your gig, text content is good, but media content is what makes it eye-catching. Develop or create your own photos and videos, to stand out odd in this sea of Fiverr sellers. Don’t copy other’s media this will be a violation.

For setting up a Fiverr gig one image is compulsory and the rest is up to you. You can add images in JPEG, PNG, GIF, or BMP format, and up to 50 MB. A video up to 75 secs and 50mb is acceptable by the Fiverr platform. 

Audios lasting 3 minutes and 30 seconds and 10 MBS in mp3 and MPEG format are good to upload. This is available for some categories only. PDF files can also be upload for showcasing your work in detail. After you are done save and continue. 

YOU ARE GOOD TO GO

Once, everything is filled and complete. I recommend revising through all your headings once again. Read everything and look for the errors you may have made and correct them. Click on publish your gig button to start selling. 

Sometimes your gig takes time to become active, don’t worry about that. Fiverr team reviews some gigs, especially that contain large media such as videos. 

After review, your gig will become active and will appear active in your gigs section. and now once everything is set. What are you waiting for? START SELLING! 

If after publishing you want to change something, you can change it later on with the option of editing your gig. 

In conclusion, a Fiverr gig is a main and only way you can sell your skills on a Freelancing marketplace known as Fiverr. Spend time in each section in the process of creating your gig. Don’t copy-paste other’s stuff. Be creative and create your own unique gig descriptions and media.
