  3. Provide high-demand services.

  4. Build an excellent reputation.

  5. Create digital products such as ebooks, templates, or video courses.

  6. Share your Fiverr profile on social media, including Linkedin.

Tip: When making gigs, try to use an easy-to-understand, clear and concise language. Optimize your gig for the Fiverr search algorithm. Create a reader-friendly image with a touch of your own personality and creativity. Choose pleasant colors. Explore experienced freelancers’ profiles and gigs, if you are a newbie.

Conclusion

Note that Fiverr is a crowded marketplace and you need to niche down your skills when representing your services. Compared to Upwork, where you need to showcase a bulk of skills to win the job, Fiverr allows you to get your first order even if you can show only one skill. Your gig can represent only one skill such as a copywriter, video editor, translator, illustrator, designer or something else. So, it’s a great opportunity to start a freelancing career with a skill you are strong at. 

Clients on Fiverr look for specialists in specific fields. And the best part about it is that everyone can find something close to their heart which means that you can use even your hobbies and various interests to help others reach their goals. So, showcase your talent and expertise at your best!
