Tricks to Earn Money In Fiverr
Fiverr – An online marketplace to sell your products and services online. Like freelancer.com there is also a big competition on Fiverr.

This is the reason that most of top freelancers fail on Fiverr because learning unique Fiverr gig promotion tips is really important for generating passive income on this platform too.
Do’s & Don’ts on Fiverr
In this article, we are going to discuss all the positive and negative points which can directly or indirectly affect your reputation, sales and your income. What should you do? OR what should you ignore? Following right path is important to reach on right destination. The wrong or zigzag path will reach nowhere.
#1- Be Unique
Choosing a great service or product will ensure your success somehow. Such as don’t be same as thousands other. There are three main ways to be unique.
- Offering a product or service which isn’t already listed on Fiverr
- Offering the best quality service to beat the competition
- Offering the common services with high quality at low price to be affordable by many buyers
Hopefully, you got the point that either come up with something really new so you can target a unique group of audience or being best in your field to give a reason to your buyers to place orders. 3rd isn’t recommended but you can try when you have common skills. Such as if you are a writer and want to offer your writing services, keep in mind there are already thousands of writers’ gigs already.
#2- Quick Turnarounds
Everyone wants to be on top priority and no doubt everyone wants to be served as soon as possible. Surely, you can’t start everyone’s work altogether, also nobody can guarantee that all days would be the same to work. Maybe someday you are sick, have guests at home or just bad mood so unable to work. So, keep everything in mind and try to give the fastest possible delivery time such as if you need 1 day for a work, you can add one extra day + same day as priority service. Such as standard delivery would be within two days while extra fast delivery can be in one day. Or whatever suits you best. But, allowing your buyers to choose extra fast service option to be a priority customer.
#3- Be Original
Being original is the best policy for any online business success. There are people who use female names or pictures to create a profile by thinking, they can win more orders by doing so. LOL
That is not true at all. Always use your own real name or the brand name whatever you want to use but that should be real and verifiable. Once you will be having real you, you will get more orders as buyers will trust you more.
#4- Be Responsive
It might sound silly to many but it is really important for business success. Communicate timely and always guide your buyer in extreme details by using nice words. You have to make your buyers very important for you and in reality, they are, as a number of positive reviews & repeated customers are the only way to succeed on Fiverr.
#5- Be Thankful
Leaving a unique reply to every feedback you got on your profile will be a great idea. Your potential buyers will read feedbacks on your profile before placing order. It will increase your chances if you prove yourself responsive by showing your good interactions with previous buyers.
#6- Targeting Keywords
There is a possible reason to not have many views on your gig that you might not be targeting right keywords or having only one gig. The solution is; create multiple gigs in the same category for offering the same service but by using different relevant keywords so you can attract more views >> visitors >> potential customers.
#7- Self Promotion
Don’t rely only on Fiverr. to get noticed you have to be on other platforms for tricky marketing such as; if you are selling some video services, editing, shooting or anything, make your own youtube channel to share plenty of your works to show off your skills. If you are selling writing services, have your own blog to promote your Fiverr gigs. You can create udemy tutorial videos too.
