My Guy.

Smile. Thanks

Jennyclay:
I understand your point, but please don't generalize it. I have a flat stomach, I'm always on diet, I exercise regularly and most times I'm always natural.

I plait my natural hair, my hair is very full, I barely put on wigs. So my dear not all ladies are like that.

How far now? You married?

Beautiful

I published my gig two weeks ago
and I haven't gotten my first sale…

I published my gig two months ago and I
haven't gotten my first sale…

I published my gig last year and I haven't gotten my first sale...


These are examples of messages I get almost every week from different freelancers, and after giving it a thought for a while, I decided to share three simple hacks/secrets that if implemented correctly, can help you make sales almost every day, to the extent that you will start turning down jobs stylishly by increasing your prices/rates in order for you to have more free time to enjoy your hard earned money.


Okay let's get started...

There are some simple things that you might not be doing that are preventing you from making sales frequently on fiverr as a seller.


Gone are the days when we just create an account, fill out our profile, publish a gig and wait for someone to come along and buy that gig. Yes, it used to work when Fiverr was a new platform and the competition was very low. Not anymore.

But today, there are thousands and thousands of freelancers on Fiverr all competing for that same job. So as a brand new seller, how are you supposed to gain any traction?

If you're a brand new seller on fiverr and you're
trying to make your very first sale, there are three main goals you need to focus on.

Firstly, you need to get your gig seen by a potential buyer.

Secondly, you need that potential buyer to click and open your gig page. And…

Thirdly, you need to close the sale by having that buyer order from your gig.


As stated, the first step in order to make your first sale on fiverr is obviously to have a buyer see your gig. But today, unfortunately, buyers on Fiverr are not clicking on a category and then scrolling through hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of gigs. A lot of them come to the platform and simply type what they're looking for in the search bar eg: YouTube account manager, Instagram content marketer etc.

And let's face it, fiverr is basically a search engine trying to surface the most relevant gigs for a specific buyer. So your first priority is to optimise your gigs to surface in a search result because if that doesn't happen, a buyer will never even know about your gig and you'll never make a sale.

But as a new seller, the trick is not just surfacing in a generic search result. Because let's be honest, as a new seller, it's really difficult to compete with thousands and thousands of offerings in a search result.

Coz just by doing the maths, if a search produced one thousand results and you're one of the 1,000, the odds are pretty much stacked against you that a potential buyer will even see your gig.

So when we're talking about trying to surface our gig for a search result, we're really trying to narrow our focus to do some research in our categories to find out what potential buyers are looking for and then optimise our gigs to surface under those specific keyword phrases that potentially produce far fewer results. In a simple sentence, make your gig super specific to a very long tail keyword. Though there might be very few searches but there will definitely be super low competition thus increasing your chances of showing up on the first page


For example, let's do research to find low low competition services under the Digital Marketing niche.

Doing the research now, there about 3 categories under digital marketing, so I selected Social Marketing (Competition is 7,683) then under social marketing, I selected another subcategory - "social media management" (competition reduced to 1,797) then I selected another subcategory under social media management - "YouTube" (Competition reduced to 120). So that means if you tailored your gig to just "YouTube management", your chances of showing up on the first page is higher compared to tailoring your gig to general "social media management" service.

Hope you understand my point now?

Okay, another example is this…
Digital marketing niche ➜➜ Content marketing (competition is 19,303) ➜➜ Guest posting (competition reduced to 500) ➜➜ Instagram (competition reduced to just 7 gigs)

Which means that if you setup your gig targeting this long tail keyword - "Instagram", your chances of showing up on the first page is extremely high, compared to targeting "Content marketing".


Okay, so now you've optimised your gig to appear in a specific low competition search result of about few tens or hundreds (depends on niche)...

Step two is to get potential buyers to click and open your gig page. So how do you achieve that?

You can achieve that by having attractive thumbnails, compelling gig videos, and smartly written gig titles. What you just need to do is to conduct your own search in your category in order to see what your competitor's gigs look like with regards to their thumbnails and their gig videos. Because your sole objective here is to get a potential buyer to click and watch your video or see your thumbnail and open your gig.

So assuming that you did everything correctly and your gig has surfaced in the search result. And again, you've gotten a buyer to click on your gig and open your gig page, how do you
close that sale?

Well, you do that by having a fully completed gig page and attractive pricing structure in place. Things like uploading gig images to your portfolio, having a completely filled out gig description and filling out the frequently asked questions. Plus having a pricing structure that really appeals to a buyer.

All these give the potential buyers the confidence to go with the new seller. And as a new seller, you want to make the process as easy and smooth for that potential buyer as possible. So don't include words like contact me before you buy because that's just one barrier that you've put up between you and the sale. That alone could send a bad signal to the potential buyer that you're not confident enough that you can deliver an excellent job on your services.



These 3 steps might sound so simple but trust me, it works.

By applying these simple tricks could greatly increase your odds and converting your first sale. But you can take it one step further by creating six additional gigs using the same structure to increase your chances of converting a sale.

I don't mean that you should just replicate what you did six more times. No that's my point. Think about another specific long tail search that you could surface under and create a brand new gig tailored to that specific keyword search.

To be honest, one of the early goals for you as a new seller is to find your hero gig. And that's just a fancy way of saying having a primary gig that will comprise most of your sales.

So as a new seller you want to cast that net as wide as possible by creating multiple gigs in order to find your superhero gig and when you start to gain traction and the sales start pouring in and you're having great 5 star reviews, you can then change that gig from being super specific to much more encompassing and ultimately that will help you grow your fiverr business.



So I hope this write-up has helped you reframe your thinking about making your first sale on fiverr as a freelancer. I wish you all the best!

Are you aware ignorance and misuse of the word "illiterate" is an outstanding quality of a stark illiterate?

A man who has attended and passed several academic/professional courses both home and abroad can be described as an illiterate only by a crude and stark illiterate.

Describing Buhari as an illiterate confirms Simon Ekpa's post: Ipob members are stark illiterates.

Please I'd like to know, what is included in this new electoral bill that would make elections impossible to rig once it is signed into law? Thanks in advance

@ Seunmsg, any idea?

chrisxxx:
I don't know but there are loopholes identified by reps and Senate that have been blocked. Buhari identified a cog previous that has been removed. Why the hesitant to sign?

Alright thanks

My little sister has a boyfriend who writes her love letter.

She is learning computer in another village and always comes back home late. A journey of 30mins back from her training center will take her close to two hours.

I am not always home and just visited the first time this year. After the numerous complaint from my mum I decided to check her school bag and found four letters from a guy. All come came from him. I will be showing it to popsi. My little sis not not the biological daughter to my parents. Her mother was good to us hence we are returning the favor. She just finished secondary school and will soon pick jamb form to further her education on my father's financing.

I just fear pregnancy. She should be within 15-18 can't really tell though.

I'm just afraid popsi might sent her packing.

Trust me, there's absolutely nothing you can do to stop her from boy friending. She is the only one that can make the decision for herself. And from my experience, only the words of God can do that. When she believes that it's a sinful act and that she'll be punished for it in the hereafter. Nothing else can make her stop it from my experience

chrisxxx:
Buhari contested election more than three times before he won. In those three times before he was declared winner Buhari believed he won but was cheated out due to laxity in the electoral system. Methinks that the first thing or the only thing Buhari would have targeted to improve if no other is the electoral system.
Would he want anyone to pass through what he went through?
Signing the electoral law agreed by both PDP and APC members in the national houses of assembly will be his greatest achievement and what he be remembered with in years to come.

Please I'd like to know, what is included in this new electoral bill that would make elections impossible to rig once it is signed into law? Thanks in advance

You better be careful. They might poison you

I can relate boss.
Migrating through school, this is the kind of thing I’d passed thru. Mama gonna pay school fee, house rent, feeding and other utilities. Ino fit still Dey ask her say I won buy shoes, cloths, phone, bags Nd all so I turned to this hustle.

I have worked in a block industry as a mixer Nd as a carrier. I have loaded all this long dyna truck packed with blocks Nd followed go site go offload. Also I have worked with all those local man wey Dey make blocks as a mixer. Sometimes I Dey go clear/cut grass for site for some raba.

Numerous times I have been a labor worker on building site Nd I have also follow tillers go work as laborer.

I have worked in a printing factory where high security questions are printed like waec, neco, jamb(during those olden ppt days) where dem go lock person up for 3months or more depending on the type of exams going on with constant working day Nd night.

I have worked in a rental services loading chairs, tents and other equipment go locations set it up Nd pack it back after usage.

I have also worked in the farm during those days wey my parent b farmers. We Dey grow crops to eat and also sell so I can tell u it’s somewhat a large scale stuff.

I have worked in a cassava processing factory. Sometime I peel cassava for little doe or work in sieving cassava for someone that will fry it.

Brother don’t get yourself worried or depressed keep pushing, it’s just only rough but things go make sense. I applaud your effort not indulging in fraudulent act. All the best.!!!!

This your story touched me emotionally. I used to be a hustler too. Reason why I'm connected. God is our strength sha

I didn't watch the final match so I can't say if truly he's the best
