Freelancing resembles a strategic game, where critics abound at every juncture. Continual learning is key, enabling you to navigate the dynamic market landscape and satisfy clients with each project, akin to leveling up in a game and undertaking unique quests for every client.
Having actively participated on Fiverr for a month, I've garnered valuable insights and unearthed some hidden hacks that can significantly elevate your visibility and boost sales on the platform. Below, I share these strategies with you:
Create Fresh Gigs:
If your initial gigs fail to garner sufficient clicks and impressions within the first month, consider deleting and recreating them within the same category. Modify your focus keyword and design a more compelling gig image to yield better results.
Develop Multiple Gigs:
Rather than hastily posting gigs, invest time in thorough research for each one. Avoid the pitfall of copying titles and descriptions from others. By dedicating time to creating at least one well-researched gig per day, you can have a comprehensive profile within the first week.
Incorporate Videos into Gigs:
The significance of adding videos to your gigs cannot be overstated. This often-overlooked element significantly enhances gig performance and instills trust among potential clients. Although I haven't utilized this method yet, it's on my to-do list.
Cultivate Client Relationships:
Treat the customer as royalty and build relationships akin to those with a significant other. Employ emojis to inject a personal touch into your communication. Extend wishes and provide festival-related coupons. For repeat buyers, engage in casual conversations. Inquire about their name and preferences, and share your portfolio or social media pages to establish a more personal connection.
Attract External Clients:
Fiverr values freelancers who actively promote their profiles on other platforms. By driving traffic from social media, you not only contribute to Fiverr’s visibility but also experience a boost in gig rankings, leading to more orders.
Go the Extra Mile:
When a client requests a service, go above and beyond. For instance, if asked to edit a YouTube video, include a complimentary thumbnail. If tasked with writing an article, offer a free featured image. In web design projects, consider providing additional services such as on-page and local SEO enhancements at no extra cost. These gestures leave a lasting impression and contribute to positive client feedback.
