FIVERR
Fiverr is a web based freelance marketplace that connects people who can offer particular services with those who want to buy such services.
It’s a great platform to start if you are looking for ways to make money online because you’ll get a lot of traffic on there to your offers without having to promote it.
In addition, it’s a great place for people who want to outsource some things of their business like logo design or building a website or writing a jingle.
Fiverr is best known for getting great pricing to get services done at a starting price of $5. However, they’ve also made it easy for you to earn more as you can offer upgraded packages with higher pricing.
Sellers can create a “Gig” to offer their services while buyers can create a “Request” to solicit sellers instead of searching for gigs that offer the particular service they want.
There are a variety of categories offered at Fiverr so you will have plenty of opportunities to see where you fit in and get some money for your talents!
Sellers can have many gigs on Fiverr and you can be rated by the buyers of your gigs. The better ratings you get, the better ranking your gigs will receive in the Fiverr search results, and the more orders you’ll receive because people will see you have been doing a great job on your services.

HOW TO SETUP YOUR FIRST GIG
STEP 1:
On top of your Fiverr dashboard, you should see button called “Start Selling“, click on that button and then the “Become a Seller” button will show up on your main screen, click on that button next.
STEP 2:
The next step is to fill out your profile. Every seller must have a profile so others can learn about you.
You don’t have to fill out everything but it’s important to at least have a photo of you and a description.
If you can add skills, it’ll be even better for you so that people know what you’re good at.
First impressions are important as a freelancer, your buyers will take just seconds to determine whether they want to work with you or not just by looking at your profile.
Therefore, the more info you can profile, the better chance they will want to work with you.
Once your profile is done, go to the bottom and click the green “Continue & Create Your First Gig” button.
STEP 3:
On this screen, you will create your first gig. All future gigs that you create will have these six steps as well.
TIP: Before you start filling this out, check out other gigs that offer the same service as you so you can get examples of what should be included, what not to do, and use it to guide you through as you fill your gig out but do not copy their work obviously
OVERVIEW:
If you’re just starting out, I suggest you start with a basic package of $5. You can increase this as you get better ranked within Fiverr and when you start getting many orders.
You can offer more services with the Standard and Premium packages which you can charge more for.
Fill in all slots that are available and applicable to you. The more info you can offer up front, the better the gig.
Once you have the three packages filled out, you can press the “Save & Continue” button again to move on to the next tab.
Gig extras is a great way to get more money from your buyers like a faster service. You can easily add $5 for doing something quicker.

Gig extras is a great way to get more money from your buyers like a faster service. You can easily add $5 for doing something quicker.
STEP 5: DESCRIPTION & FAQ
The description here is very crucial, this explains what each package will entail. Be precise, detailed, and clear about what you are offering.
There’s a minimum amount of 120 characters you’ll need to write here and a maximum amount of 1,200 characters allowed.
So use this space wisely and make sure you use it to your full advantage to explain the services you’re offering in each package.
Again, you can look at other gigs similar to your service to see what and how they do it for example sake.
You will not need to fill out the FAQ, however, it’s easy for your potential buyer to just get a few quick questions answered just by looking at this section
Usually FAQ will include:
• What’s required of the buyer
• How long the gig will take to complete
• If you’re writing something, how many words is required
• What’s expected of you as the seller
STEP 6: REQUIREMENTS
The requirements of the gig are things you’ll need from the buyer as soon as they order you gig because without them, you won’t be able to start your work.
The time starts ticking as soon as you receive the order so it doesn’t matter when you receive an order while you’re sleeping, your order starts right there when it hits your account.
Therefore, when you wake up to your new order, you’d want these requirements already available to you so you can start your work as your order is timed based on what you put in the Pricing tab.
Make sure you enter in everything you’ll need from your buyer to limit the amount of time it’ll take to communicate with the buyer back and forth as to what you need.
Click “Save & Continue” once your requirements are put in.
STEP 7: GALLERY
This is a visual of your portfolio and you have several formats you can use to feature your work: video, photos and PDFs.
If you use images, you’re only allowed three and the best dimensions to use are 550 px by 370 px. People usually use the Primary photo as their “banner” for their gig and will include their gig title in the image.
Try to use all spaces available for whatever format you choose to showcase your work. You can use more than one format as well.
Click “Save & Continue” once gallery is completed.
STEP 8: PUBLISH
Here’s the exciting step, publishing your first gig!!
Because this is your first gig, you need to verify by phone first. So when you are ready with your phone, click on “Verify Now” and follow the steps to get verified.
Once you are verified, you are published!
CONGRATULATIONS!! You’ve published your first Fiverr gig!
COMPLETING ORDERS:
Once you click on that button, you need to attach anything that the buyer is expecting like a file, an URL, or a word or pdf file it is you’re delivering in that message.
The message should also include a nice message thanking the buyer for their order and how you hope they will like your work, etc.
Once it’s delivered, your buyer will also make the order “complete” on their end and offer you a rating. If the buyer does not complete the order on their end, the system will do so automatically in 3 days after you delivered.
