I Got My First Order On Fiverr

2017, when I heard about Fiverr. So, I decided to write as a freelancer.

I signed up and made my first gig about article writing, which was not optimized. I was unaware of keywords, SEO, and other client-attracting stuff.

I made profiles over and over again, learned new skills but did not get any order. I provide my digital marketing, graphic designing, copywriting skills on the second profile. But I was not optimizing my gigs.

Then in August 2021, I tried again. I signup on Fiverr and made my gig about “Tech Articles”. I optimized the gig’s description and images. But things were the same!

One day I discovered that staying online gets your gig ranked on a specific keyword. So In January 2022. I started staying online.

I used to open my Fiverr dashboard in a separate chrome tab and left it for hours. I did this for 6 days, and then….. I got an order of $55 for 5 tech articles.

Things to keep in mind if you want to rank your gig:

Research keyword: First open your buying account and search for the services that you can provide. Then get the keyword that has low competition.

You can see the numbers of gigs in the category of “Copywriting”.

If you change the keyword to “Sales Copywriting” then…..

This is the first important step to optimize your gigs.

Secondly, write an interactive Fiverr description. It should define clearly your services, and it should show the clients that you are the best option for them. Down below is my gig description:

“Hi, Buyers!

Imagine your website or blog is ranked on the very first page of Google, it is amazing and the dream of all bloggers. But the thing is, it is not a cup of tea to rank your blog on the first page on Google.

What if I say it is not as hard as you think. Yes, the basic problem is the solution that you are providing to your readers. Readers want to read the quality content.

I will write tech articles for your website with full researched words and SEO optimized.

Do you want to get maximum organic traffic from search engines?

Do you know content is king?

I am providing my services:

SEO optimized articles
Tech Article writing
Tech Blog Writing
Tech News
Gadgets information
Content writing for your website

What will you get in this Gig:

100% unique content
Copyscape passed content
Fun to read articles
Customer satisfaction

I know the frustration of not finding the right candidate for your task and I can assure you a 100% money-back guarantee, if you are not satisfied, I will not charge even a single penny.

Stay Blessed”

The third step is you make your gig pictures defining. The buyer first sees the image and then he/she reads the title. Make sure your gig has quality images.

Bonus Tip: Add your photo in gig image, it develops trust!

The last step is……stay online as much as you can! This will help your gig rank on top and get impressions, clicks, and then orders. This is the one thing that most people don’t tell, but it works for everyone including myself. I had optimized keywords, descriptions, and tags. But staying online gets me an order.

What's Next?

I created another gig yesterday and will make 2 or more. It was about ad copywriting and consultation on marketing.

I have understood the game of Fiverr and gonna play it!
