Okay. So what do you suggest I use as a gig picture? A good looking picture of me or a random image that shows the services I offer? The latter worked for me during my time on Fiverr before I was kicked out lol. Awaiting your response.

.
.
.
If using a random picture works for you then go ahead.
but most top rated and level 2 sellers use a picture of themselves.
and I personally used a picture of myself.
infact use both, use a picture of yourself as the main gig picture and a random picture as the second picture

There's
#graphics design
#digital marketing
#writing and translation
#video and animation
#music and audio
#programming and tech
#business
#lifestyle
.
.
.
there are different subcategories in each of the areas i listed. All niches are profitable, but focus more on what you think you can do than the most profitable section

Thanks

TIP 3; KEYWORDS AND SEARCH OPTIMIZATION

the job does not stop at just creating a gig, it goes further to making your gig visible and on the first 2 pages.

Before I even became a level 1 seller I was on either page 1 or 2 of the article and blog post category. The trick is quite simple, I have 2 methods of increasing gig impression and rank.

My first method is by coping the gig title or keywords of top rated and level 2 sellers in your niche. Study the way they wrote their gig title and mimic it. Also check the keywords they used in their gig.

By doing what they do, you would be ranked close to them. And if 100 buyers are viewing their gig, at least 10 buyers would also check your gig because you have used the same title and keywords with them.

I'll share the other method soon

Hello irynterri, I create articles and blog posts.
did you register to become a seller or you just did the regular sign-up for fiverr?
well you have to register to become a seller before you would be allowed to create gigs and fill your gig description.
let me know if you registered to become a seller, so I can give you the right solution

You do this with a Nigerian account? I have been able to earn only on Upwork

It's all about sounding convincing.
before I started Fiverr, i didn't have any experience at all in writing articles and blog posts. But I still went ahead to create my gig.
In my gig description, i wrote that i have experience in the writing field, but I didn't.
The truth is that no one is going to do a background check to find out if you really know how to do what you say you do. buyers would believe what you tell them.
In as much as you have no experience, just learn everyday to improve yourself and with time you'd become an expert and gain the required experience.
However, I'm not telling you to over-hype yourself or your skills or to say things you cannot do, just sound like you are a professional in what you do.
Keep learning everyday

This is very helpful. Thanks so much. Glad i came accross your thread.

Thanks for sharing

So, i have finally finished creating a profile on fiverr.

Alright thanks for getting back. I jut registered a new fiverr account, will activate my phone number when I get on the laptop.

How do you drive traffic to your gig as a new seller? I understand that for a new seller getting clients from "buyer request" seems to be an uphill task.

When a buyer pays for your services, the money is first given to the Fiverr. so Fiverr would hold your money till you have submitted/delievered your work to the buyer.
The buyer has mark your work as complete before Fiverr would release the money to you.
however, in a case where the buyer doesn't mark your work as complete, Fiverr would automatically mark it as complete and give you the money after 3days from the time you delivered your work.
.
Also you'd have to wait for 14 days before you can withdraw that money to a payoneer or PayPal account.
.
I'd recommend you create payoneer account.
but payoneer would send the money to your Nigerian bank account within 3-5 days

You can share your gig on social media.
I personally have never gotten any clients through buyers request section. I have sent 106 requests and no client ever reached out to me. so I don't know much about getting clients through buyers request section. but you can give it a try.

I just shared the trick i use in ranking my gig and creating visibility. you can try that method

Nah. Not talking about that phase. Everyone is usually asked to verify their phone numbers during sign up, I did that successfully. Months after I had been on the platform, I was asked to verify my account with an international passport or driver's license bearing all the details I imputed when signing up. Details as my name, picture and location. That's the verification I'm talking about here.

Yes, I registered in August and was asked to do this within a few days. I uploaded a clear photo of my international passport and I was verified within a few hours. What went wrong with yours?

I had no international passport or a driver's license. Plus my identity on there was fake. Fake name, fake photo... You know how it is on there nau, how folks tend to take on false identities and use false locations just to make sales. The struggle is real lol.

Some people even told me they verified their account with just their voter's card. Don't know how true that was. But then, even if all the information on my profile was true, I wouldn't have risked using a voter's card for the verification. I had about $400 dollars being cleared at that point and didn't want to risk losing my hard earned funds in the case of a suspension

I guess that's why you can't find the gig description.
First of all, you have to register to become a seller.
Scroll down to the end of the home page, you'll see the 'become a seller' section

I intend using a third party payoneer account, will I be penalized for it?

No, Fiverr doesn't have any issue with your payoneer account. it's payoneer that would have an issue with that.
just make sure that the name on the payoneer account is the same with the name on the Nigerian bank account.
for instance, if the name on the Payoneer account is Samuel Moses then the name on the Nigerian bank account should also be Samuel Moses.
if not they would not allow you withdraw money to that Nigerian bank account

I never make a dime on fiver since 2017...don't know what I did wrong
