A to Z Fiverr Guide (#Part1)

Quick Background: I have 1.5 years of experience on Fiverr (Part-

Time), and generated around $17k. I like to explore and experiment a
lot. Hence, instead of focusing on generating more money i focused
on learning, how Fiverr's Algorithm works (Not doing freelancing
anymore, tired of self employement)
Things I will discuss in this post.

1. How to rank your gig?

2. How to force the buyer to click on your gig?
3. How to charge more?
4. How to provide undeniable services?
5. How to rank your gig?
6. Things i will remember eventually.

Lets Start..
Do not start with a highly saturated niche. Make your gig focus on a
sub-niche.
For example; Instead of creating a gig on "I will be your article
writer," create a gig on I will write tech articles for you."
What is the purpose behind selecting a sub-niche?
Write "article writer" on the Fiverr search bar, and you will find
around 17000 results. Now write a tech article writer or fitness article
writer, you will find around 1500.
Now, it depends on you how you find a sub-niche that is neither too
saturated nor dry.
Note: Do not forget to edit your SEO title after saving your gig once.
TARGET MULTIPLE CATEGORIES IN ONE TITLE?
Try to use two different but relevant keywords in your
title. Why? You might have seen one same gig ranking on multiple
keywords. How are they doing it? This is the trick.
For example, I will be your white paper and research paper writer.
Now, you will rank on both keywords, assume you are getting orders
on one keyword, automatically your same gig will start boosting on
the other keyword as well.
WHICH TAGS SHOULD YOU ADD?
Again use the Fiverr search bar, and write your main keyword, use the
relevant suggestions as your tags. Or look your competitors tags.
HOW TO WRITE GIG DESCRIPTION?
Use your main keywords twice and sub-keywords once or twice in
your description and complete your intro/expertise in 1/2 sentences
and use the rest in explaining what you can do for the client. Bullet
point all the things you will provide them.(don't worry much about the
description 80% buyer don't even read it).
HOW TO RANK YOUR GIG WITH VVRO ORDERS?
Never buy order from a low tier countries profiles and a $5-$10
order. Why? High tier countries profiles have more worth (long
buying history of the buyer also effects). The ranking of your gig also
depends on the average order value of the searched keyword as well.
For example: If the gigs around you are getting $50/per order on
average and you buy a $10 one. Do you think you will rank? Of
course not! Soon, you will see your gig on the last page.
Insight: Direct orders boost your ranking as compared to custom
orders. Want a quick boost? Assume your basic package is for $10,
and your medium package is for $50. Instead of directly buying the
medium package, convince your buyer to increase the quantity of the
basic package. $10 x 5 = $50. Tested this method trice; always work.
(Your gig ranking will sky rocket)
BE ONLINE
You might have seen many people saying that they are online all the
time but cannot see their gigs in the search list or not getting orders.
Stop using extensions and other tricks; they won't work at all. Do you
want to try? Open your seller dashboard and turn on the extension.
Check after an hour or two. Now, look closely next to your big profile
pic; you won't find the "Online" tag there. Are you still seeing
it? Now, check your small profile pic (right next to switch to buying).
When you are online, a small green dot appears; it's black when you
are not. In this case, it will be black.
The small dot must be green; after every 10-15 mins, refresh your
pages manually and visit other pages as well.

A to Z Fiverr Guide (#Part2_Part3and_Part4)

Before proceeding towards the main topic, let me clear, some aspects
from the previous post.
First, Please, do not be a Lakeer ka Fakeer; my responsibility is to
share strategies and insights with you and clear your concepts with
examples. But some people are considering those examples as Pathar
par Lakeer. You have to optimize my given strategies as per your
GiGs.
Second, all the aspects/strategies are interconnected, you have to
focus on all of them. For the quantity increasing strategy, if I gave an
example of $10 x 5. It does not mean all of you have to do the same.
The service cost and quantity depend on your gigs and competition. A
small tip, use this strategy when the service value is 2x / 3x more than
your premium package. Assume, my premium package is for $60 and
Basic for $20. Moreover, my client wants services worth $160. So, I
will request him to buy a basic package of $20 x 8. (Do not forget to
evaluate the average order value of your competitions.)
Third, please don't text me to create profiles for you, rank your gigs,
overview them etc. etc. I am here to share my knowledge, not to
spoon-feed/babysit you. Clear such basics from Youtube.
Please understand the above three points; it's for your good.
Lets Start...
HOW TO FORCE THE BUYER TO CLICK ON YOUR GIG?
The two things that force a Buyer to click on your gigs are your title
and your gig image. Your title must be highly converting and as per
your niche.
For example, I will create a 7 figure Shopify Dropshipping One
product Store.
That "7 Figure" word will shake your client.
Before clicking on your Gig, the main thing that persuades your
Buyer is your gig image.
Now, do something for me, search for your main keyword, now
starting looking at all gigs in front of you. By looking, I mean a quick
gaze. Keep on gazing all the gigs, don't stop until a gigs image makes
you stop. Did you stop at a gig? Perfect! This is the one, and this is
the design and color combination you are looking for.
Tip: Use light Background colours (yellow, light green, orange) with
highlighting patterns. I am attaching two samples, one is from Fiverr
and one I quickly created (of course experimented the designs and its
sells very well)
Edit: I attached the designs but the admins removed my post. So,
now please check the first two comments.
Note: Please, don't spam these designs, do some research on your
own as well and find better ones for reference.
HOW TO FORCE THE BUYER TO BUY YOUR PREMIUM
PACKAGE?
Use a good pricing strategy, same as popcorn corners at cinemas do.
Small for $5, Medium for $15, and Large for $20. It will increase
your average order value.
How to charge more for your services?
Do you want to charge more? I want you to build some Gurda. Why
do you think a fancy restaurant charges 5x price? Because they are
providing luxury to their clients. You have to do the same.
Stop saying; I can do this, whats your budgets, please give me an
order, etc. etc.
Carefully, read the requirements of your client communicate with
him/her, share your thoughts, share your strategies, show him/her how
valuable you are, share non-deniable ideas with him/her. Charges and
Delivery time etc. must be your last priority.
Note: Act like a confident person and call him by his name(or
Sir/Mam, if the client is not from the UK).
Now, when the client asks about your charges and delivery time, you
must be crystal clear and professional.
For example: For XYZ service I charge $50 + 3 days delivery if you
want to avail express delivery with 1/2 days that would be an extra
$40. Please state your fast delivery add-ons and other add-ons as well.
Important Note: Whenever you go shopping an expert salesman will
always ask what do you want and if you say a jacket and a T-shirt. He
will always take you towards the jacket first. Want to know
why? Because the jacket is more expensive than a T-shirt. Once you
have bought the jacket, you won't consider the price of the t-shirt too
much. Wanna know why, its human psychology. But if you will buy a
t-shirt first and then go for the jacket, you will think that you are
spending a lot of money. 80% chances, you will back off. The same
goes here, do not offer an add-on that has more cost than the actual
order.
Note: Do not negotiate, unless you think its a long term client.
Respectfully, deny their offer if it's below to what you charge. Such
an attitude will give surety to the client that you know the worth of
your skills and don't want to lose it. So, he will dig deeper into his
pockets.
HOW TO PLACE AN ORDER?
Many buyers are new to the platform, and they don't know how to use
it, even if they have a buying history. Please use this:
Once, you have decided on the budget and delivery time and know it
is the time to place the order. Do two things.
Give him proper instructions on how to place an order directly.
For Example 1. Click on this link XYZ (your Gig). 2. Select the
package with the discussed amount and time. 3. Please submit your
requirements once again, so Fiverr can have a record of it. 4. And
make the payment, please keep in mind, Fiverr has an escrow system,
so I will only receive the payment when the order is marked as
complete by you.
2) Or to save you from the hassle, I can create a custom offer in the
chat so you can accept it directly. Create the offer and write "Offer
Created" in the chat.
DO NOT ACT LIKE A BOT
Foreign clients are usually fond of communicating with customer
supports and professional company employees. So, don't just reply to
their messages in Okay, yes, got it. You must always reply
adequately. It will show how professional you are.
Now, you are providing luxury to your client. Once, the order is
placed, go to the order page and again write a message that
states: "Thanks for the order, i have everything i need etc."
Moreover, I want you to keep your client updated. There is one major
flaw in buying an online service 80% of them don't keep you up to
date. I don't want you to make the same mistake.
After you have delivered the order, shoot a message to the buyer
again, this time not on the order page. "Your order has been delivered
etc. Now again guide him with steps, how to get the delivery, how to
accept, and share your valuable feedback.
Once, you have received the feedback, don't wait, shoot a msg again "
Thank you for your valuable feed, would love to work with you
again in future."
WAIT WAIT, DONT FORGET TO UPSELL
In your delivery message, add links to your relevant gigs.
For Example, You have hunted a product for your Buyer, attach gig
links of sourcing, trademark, etc. along with some persuading text.
GORAS LOVE OFFERS
Try to combine multiple services you offer and sell them in a bundle
and give a small discount on it. Mention the cost of each service and
mention your discount percentage on it as well.
Moreover, during Christmas, text your good clients and give them
small discounts.
CHARGE MORE
Once you have started getting daily orders and responses from new
clients, please increase your services charges and keep on increasing
it, bit by bit and be the most expensive seller of the relevant keyword.
How to provide undeniable services?
I have completed over 550+ orders and 29 cancellations. Out of these
29 cancellations, 95% were from my end because it didn't have the
time to entertain the direct orders of the clients.
Why i have such a low canceling rate? Because i only accept those
tasks which i am highly confident about. Moreover, i would never
compromise with the quality of my service.
LEARN TO SAY NO
Please, learn to say No. Trust me, these Gora's will love your honesty.
Even they will beg for your service that you are so honest and straight
forward, they will request you to even try for once.
After following Part 3, you already have 90% chances of satisfying
your client, now do one more thing. I want you to screen record your
output and explain everything. What you did, why you did this, which
strategies did you used (Don't tell them how), and most important also
mention what you did extra for them. Mention it in both video and
your delivery text. It will put your client under the process of
Reciprocation (will discuss it later). It will give you a high chance of
getting a tip and more orders.
RECIPROCATION
Put him under your debt, make him feel that he owes you. Usually,
you have seen in our desi culture " usney merey liye ye kia merey
sarr pr boje hai, mey isko utaru gha" Its the same for them. They
will lower this burden by giving you time or making you the go-to
freelancer.
WHAT TO DO WITH THE CLIENTS THAT HAS SMALL
TASKS AND SMALL BUDGET?
If your average order value is $50, then please don't take $5 orders.
On the other hand, use the reciprocation method again. Put the client
under your debt, tell him; "it will effect your profile etc so as a sign
a gesture you will do it for free" (use some emotional words).
Here you go, the client has your burden on his head.
INSIGHTS

1. If you have bought a service from Fiverr, then you would have
experienced that Fiverr privately send you to give another
feedback on the service of the seller and it won't be public, etc.
etc. As per my knowledge, that feedback directly relates to your
ranking Because it says how much value you provide to your
client.
2. Sometimes, I had experienced that your Gig ranks according to
countries as well. I experienced it when I was buying VVRO
from the USA. I told my cousin that my Gig is on the second
page and on this row (I was getting orders but still wanted to see
my self on the first page and first row). But when he searched
for the keywords, I was on the first page, tested it multiple
times. So, i predicted countries also matter because sometimes, i
am getting straight USA buyers and some times there are no
USA buyers and only Saudia and UK, even i see the same
ranking. If you are also getting continuous orders, try to focus
on this aspect.

Important: Don't worry, there are many wealthy clients on Fiverr,

and those clients do not prefer cheap services. So, do not even let such
thought come into your mind that who will pay me this much.

A to Z Fiverr Course (#Part5)

HOW TO SEND NON DENIABLE BUYER REQUESTS?

I'm not too fond of buyer requests because I hate how people send
requests to a buyer. I buy services from Fiverr as well, so usually i
check how professional we Pakistani's are, so I post job requests.
What do you think I get in response? Copy Pasted templates, I am
damn sure 80-90% won't even read the posts properly.
If you want to write a working template, get rid of this irritating habit
and follow the strategies below:

1. First, read the post carefully, determine that you can do it or not.
(Don't send request, if you are not sure)
2. Don't write a long letter; if you want to do it, stop right here.
Rest can move ahead.
3. Write about what your buyer wants, discuss those things; give
him a hint about his query/problem. Discuss what he wants. In
the end, write about your experience "I can solve this irritating
problem because i have 6 years of experience in xyz and solving
this one is a piece of cake for me". Let me clear more with
an example; a couple of months back, I was having an issue
with a WordPress theme. I posted a request for how to do this
with this theme, etc.? Received around 30 requests, and none of
them even wrote the theme's name, except one. He gave me a
glimpse of how he can solve it. That small glimpse forced me to
hire him.
4. Use 1/2 emoji in your post; it's the same as like getting right gig
image. When the buyer is scrolling tons of requests, your emoji
will attract him. (don't spam emojis)
5. Keep your request short and highly targeted. I don't want a long
paragraph. Break a paragraph after 3-4 sentences. (It gives better
visibility)

HOW TO UNDERSTAND THE STRATEGIES I PROVIDED IN

THE PREVIOUS POSTS?
Please try to understand that all the strategies are somehow
interconnected and dependent on each other. Don't just assume in
your mind you will do this and that.
Pick a paper and pencil, draw a diagram, interconnect the aspects with
each other, check where each strategy could apply, which aspect is
affected by which strategy, etc.
Don't think that only getting VVROs will boost your ranking. If you
are avoiding the order factors, then forget about ranking.
Note: It will only feel difficult the first time; once you have
implemented it properly, you won't need that diagram anymore.
Insights: Try to be online during 12:00 AM to 5:00 AM, higher
chances of getting orders because buyers usually filter sellers by
"online". Moreover, also use your buyer requests during this period.
(Dont text me with messages like " I cannot stay up this long, what i
should do? Ap Sabar karein phr aur kisi aur ko agey niklney ka
mokaw dein", Your competitors will wait for your unavailability, so
their chances can increase.

A to Z Fiverr Guide (#Part6_and_Part7)

1. How to scale my Freelancing career?

2. Scale and Help at the Same Time.
3. Most Important Point and Bitter Reality.
4. How to scale my Freelancing career to the next level?

How to scale my Freelancing career?

Once you have followed all my previous strategies, tips, and tricks,
you will reach a point where you cannot handle clients after a specific
threshold. So, today we will discuss:
HOW TO BUILD A STRONG AND TRUST ABLE TEAM?
If you are getting 2-4 orders a day and 5-10+ messages from new
buyers, then it is time for you to expand. You have to make a team
filled with confident and wise people. Keep in mind; you have to act
as their leader, not as their Boss. If you a habit of being a boss, then
forget about this post; please move on.
HOW TO HIRE THE RIGHT PERSON?
During my freelancing career, I interviewed around 60+ people and
only ended up selecting 4 of them. One of them is 
Roshaan Malik
 (Unfortunately, other team members are not in this group, so I cannot
tag them). She was the most vital asset of my self-employment, yes, I
am calling it self-employment, not business even if you hire some
individuals it does not mean you are running a business.
She has such a firm grip in Writing that I only had to forward her the
tasks without even asking her if she could do it or guide her about the
task She has the capability to precisely follow the requirements and
dont hesitate to Google new things. (You can hire her for Amazon
Product Description, Email Sequencing, even anything regarding
Writing.) Moreover, Alhumdulillah never faced any cancellation or
revision from her outputs. I want you to trust your team like this, and
you must know what your team is capable of, what they can do, and
what is beyond their limit.
Now how I hired her and other individuals, always hire a wise person
who can use his/her mind. Who are not ready to lose the worth of
their skills (in short, don't work at lower rates). Moreover, who keep
work as their priority and don't make excuses like, "mehman agaye
they, ye ho geya, wo ho geya."
If you find a person with initial skills but have the above qualities,
hire him/her. Give one hour of your time daily for a few weeks, and
here you go. My teammates also learned with time; they were not
born as a pro.
Note: After Creating a great team, stop working by yourself; now
your responsibility is to handle the clients and deliver them quality
output, nothing else.
HOW TO EARN THE LOYALTY OF YOUR TEAMMATES?

1. I want you to pay them more than market rates; if you don't do
this, you will never create a trustworthy team.
2. Act like a leader, not a Boss.
3. Help them at every step.
4. Provide them absolute comfort that no other employer can.
5. Respect them, even if they screw a few times.

Keep in mind; an employer never scales a business the employees

does, if your teammates would not be happy, don't expect your self-
employment to scale.
Most Important Point: One thing that I hate the most, 90% of
employers don't pay their freelancers on time. I'm not too fond of this
fact; I don't care if your client paid you are not or whatever the reason
is, pay your freelancer after a task is complete. Or if you have an
agreement of weekly or monthly pay, then fulfill it on time.
WHICH INDIVIDUAL SHOULD YOU NEVER HIRE?

1. Who doesn't know the worth of their skills and work at any
price.
2. Who don't trust their instincts and don't have the guts to move
forward.

Scale and Help at the Same Time

I am being straight, so please don't get offend. Only 30% of you
would be able to apply my knowledge properly. Sorry, but this is the
reality. So, once the 30% have reached the point where they need a
team. I want you guys to hire people from the remaining 70%. You
must be thinking, why would we do that? Because not everybody
knows the art of selling, but they might have a good skill set.
Filter out people from the remaining 70% and help them grow.
Most Important Point and Bitter Reality
MOST IMPORTANT POINT: KEEP TRACK OF YOUR
EVERY PENNY
This is the most crucial point; it does not matter if you are running a
business doing freelancing or whatever you are doing. If you want to
scale it to the next level. I want you to track each and every penny. At
the end of the month, you must have your profit separated from your
revenue.
If you cannot do this, congratulations, you are creating an illusion in
front of yourself. Wait, let's do a small experiment once you have
build up a good team and getting consistent orders. For the first 30
days, don't track your Credit and Debit and note what you feel like
and assume all the profits and stuff. Now, next month keep track of
every single thing, now ask yourself what's the difference. (Don't
worry, you won't be able to ask because you would already realize
the difference).
BITTER REALITY
You must be thinking, yes, I will rest, and my team members will
work Yipee, i don't have to do anything. Want to know the
truth? You will be the one working the most because once you start
getting consistent orders and messages from buyers, you will receive
a notification after every 30 mins. It won't even stop during the night.
Don't forget; you have to provide quality service. Check the output
thoroughly generated by your team members and then deliver it.
Satisfy your Clients
Kill all your desires that you will go on trips and hang out with your
family and all that. If you turn off your phone even for a day, then you
are done.
At this point, you will realize how important passive income and how
crucial mental peace is.
Now, you guys have the answer, why I quit Fiverr.
Congratulations, Now you guys know every inch of Fiverr; I don't
want to hear excuses in my inbox, put your effort and make it
work. I might be missing a few things, but eventually, I will
upload them as well.
HUMBLE REQUEST:
Once you have reached a good point of earning, then kindly save
10% of your earning every month and help those who really
deserve it.
Fiverr Tip
I have seen many people cursing Gora clients on Fiverr for scamming
them.
First of all, please give yourself two hours from your busy schedule
and read the Terms and Conditions of Fiverr.
Now back to the point, as per Fiverr's Policy, if a buyer cancels an
order, then he no longer owns the service/product. If a seller provides
proof that a buyer is using your efforts, then Fiverr will initiate your
refund, fix your stats and ban the Buyer.
Now, if a buyer is not using your product/service, then admit the
reality that you didn't deliver what he/she wanted.
If you face any issue on Fiverr and you think you are standing on the
right end, then contact Fiverr Customer Support directly instead of
crying over Social Media.
HOW TO CONTACT FIVERR CUSTOMER SUPPORT
PROPERLY?
Whenever you experience something wrong, most probably, you will
panic. So, assume a buyer canceled an order without any reason, and
you lost your completion rate. Don't contact the Customer Support
instantly. Wait for an hour or two because you will start writing
emotionally (meri Ek tang nakli hai meri order completion wapis
krdo, etc etc), and customer support won't even bother your emotions.
They follow logical reasons.
After an hour or two, write a highly professional email based on facts
and proofs, in short airtight. There are 90% chances that they will
approve your request.
Best of Luck!
Quick Fiverr Tip
I have observed that many beginners of Fiverr are focusing on Non-
functional aspects.
To closely observe buyer psychology and functional aspects of
Fiverr follow the tip given below:
Go to Youtube, and in the search bar, write "Buying Fiverr Gig" or
something similar. Find videos in which content creators are buying
services from Fiverr and sharing their experience.
Watch a lot of similar videos, and it will give you a clear idea that
how a buyer buys a gig, on which factors he/she evaluates it, and on
which Fiverr aspects a buyer focuses on.
How to find less Competitive and high return generating
keywords on Fiverr?
I was getting a lot of queries on Why we should go for a sub-niche?
How to find a sub-niche? And how to evaluate a sub-niche?

1. First of all, every main niche or main keyword has 5000-

30000+ competition. It's almost impossible to rank on those
keywords. Hence, we find sub-niches.
2. Second, if you are learning Amazon, you are not just learning
one skill. You are learning a set of skills. Why not sell those
skills individually? For example, I have experience in Shopify
Dropshipping. So, in short, I know how to do product hunting,
how to create a store, how to develop ads creative, how to be a
FB ads manager, and many more. Sell less competitive skills
individually and, after getting hired by a Gora, upsell them the
highly competitive skills/keywords. Sounds Logical?
3. Lastly, the competition on a less competitive keyword must be
less than 3000. If you have found a keyword with less than 3000
gigs, but only a few gigs on the first page got orders, then it's a
red flag. There must be tons of reviews available on the first
page. If the second page also has a good number of reviews, you
have found a golden keyword.

Bonus: Sharing two keywords as an example.

1. Dropshipping Ads: This is an extremely in-demand keyword;

you can easily generate $3000 a month out of it (if you have
good skills). How? Because the keyword is broad, targeting
multiple platforms, such as; Shopify, Amazon, and eBay. Check
the first few pages; almost every gig has tons of
reviews. Note: Don't go banana on this keyword unless you can
provide quality service.
2. Amazon Listing Copywriting: Now, this keyword is platform-
dependent, not as much good as compared to "Dropshipping
Ads," but still, you can generate an outstanding amount out of it.

Now, you guys know how to evaluate gigs, contribute by sharing

good keywords.
