Fiverr Gig PDF
Adding a PDF document to your Gig does not make much of a difference but if you are starting on Fiverr as a seller, you can add your portfolio pictures in the PDF and add it in the gig.You can maybe write a bit about how you work and how you can be valuable for your clients.
How to Get More Impressions on Fiverr?
Many beginner sellers on Fiverr ask what is impressions on Fiverr? So, impressions
are the number of times your Fiverr Gig appeared in Fiverr thumbnails.
In simple words, when buyers search for a service, impressions are the numbers that how many times your gig appeared to the buyers.
This section will give you an idea how you can improve your gig impressions.
Having good impressions on your Fiverr Gigs pushes Fiverr a bit to show your Gig more to the buyers.
An important thing you need to keep in mind is, do not use illegal or bad ways to increase your
impressions. It can negatively affect you.
Fiverr Gig Marketing
Fiverr encourages its buyers to share their gigs on social media. When the reach of your Gig increases, the chances of
orders on your Fiverr Gig increases.
Yes, gig marketing for Fiverr is very important.
Following are few of the ways you can use to increase impressions and reach of your Fiverr Gig.
- You can share your Gig in the social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube (if you or your friend has a YouTube channel), LinkedIn or Reddit
- Write a few lines about your service, or something interesting, and share your Gig on the above-mentioned social media sites with hashtags
- As an example, if you provide SEO services, write an interesting fact about SEO and share your Fiverr Gig along with it. Be creative.
- Facebook groups, telegrams groups etc. where you are allowed to share promotional content, you can share your gigs there.
- Give it some time, it takes a bit of time to get impressions on your gig. Be patient.
- Send relevant buyer requests daily. It will have a huge impact on your impressions.
- If you already worked with some buyers on Fiverr a year ago or so, you can politely and nicely message them if they want anything they are looking for.
- Do not abuse or annoy any buyer by contact them frequently.
Do not Edit Fiverr Gig Frequently
Editing your Fiverr Gig frequently (Weekly or every 20, 30 days) can impact your ranking on Fiverr search results and hence decrease your impressions. Prepare all content for your gig when you want to update it, and try to update it in one go.
Fiverr Promoted Gigs
Promoted gigs can be another option to increase your impressions and consequently your orders, but I do not really recommend this method. It can become a bit costly, specially if you are just starting as a seller on Fiverr.
Fiverr Community / Fiverr Forum
Fiverr forum is one of the best places that helps you grow on Fiverr directly and indirectly. It is best for indirectly advertising Fiverr Gigs.
When I started working on Fiverr, Fiverr forum helped me boost my Gig impressions and consequently started to see increase in my orders.
You can utilize Fiverr forums in the following ways:
- Read tips by top-rated and good performing freelancers on how you can get your first order or increase your sales.
- Ask freelancer community for their reviews on how you can improve your profile and gigs. Share your profile and gig links.
- If you know some tips, you can write a good small article about your tips and mention your profile link at the end.
- Do not abuse the forum by adding your Fiverr profile or gig links everywhere, be creative and use it gracefully.
Fiverr Buyer's Request
Bidding or sending proposals to Fiverr buyer's request is one of the significant ways of how to get your first order on Fiverr.
Many Fiverr sellers who already have quite good number of reviews on their Fiverr profile stop sending Fiverr buyer's request because
they start to get orders directly on their profile or buyers mostly contact them without you having to bid on their requests.
This is the biggest mistake you should avoid.
Send All 10 Buyer's Requests Daily
Try to send all the 10 available buyer's request every day. It can be hard for new sellers because they might not see a lot of buyer requests.
But try to remain online on your PC, if not on your smartphone Fiverr App. Send your proposals consistently.
It can take a little longer to first break the ice, but once things go on, you start to see increase in your Fiverr orders drastically.
Never miss sending a buyer request, even if you are getting orders directly. It can affect your profile in the long run.
Writing Proposal / Fiverr Offer Description
Writing Fiverr proposal or offer description on the buyer's request is tricky thing for most of the Fiverr sellers. The following points will help you write a good proposal:
- Do not write very long proposals. Buyers do not want to read long paragraphs.
- Do not write one line or very short proposals.
- Answer all questions buyer is asking in the buyer's request.
- Do not use a template or one generic proposal for all the buyer's request. Write a customized proposal for every buyer request.
- Suggest how you will provide quality to the work and why they should choose you.
- Give them a brief plan of how you will be working on their project.
- Be courteous and look confident at the same time.
- Do not overpromise things, it's very bad.
- Do not haste in writing proposals. Take your time but do not make it late. Think before writing a proposal.
- Experiment a bit and see what works for you most of the time.
- Give them a reasonable deadline & a fair price.
- End your proposal smoothly. If you know the name of your buyer, mention his name wherever it fits best in the proposal.
Correct Gig To Send Buyer Request
Make sure you always send the buyer request with the Gig whose title and category is most relevant to the work buyer is asking. For some reasons, if there is not a closely related gig available, but you can do the work, do not hesitate to send the buyer's request.
Analyse At What Time New Buyer's Request Show Up
Find out the time when new buyer request start to show. The time will keep changing, but it will give you an idea what is the best time when you have a lot of buyer requests.
Identify Fake Buyer's Requests
Recently, I found, some sellers post fake buyer requests just to consume your available number of buyer requests you can send.
When you lose your buyer requests on fake requests. Other sellers have higher probability of getting orders than you.
It's not very important for sellers who are already doing well on Fiverr, but for new Sellers it can affect.
Fake buyer requests may have the following characteristics:
- A user with same profile picture has added many buyers request at the same time.
- A request where, for a very basic and simple work, the amount of money buyer offering is very high.
- Profile picture where is person looks very young, not professional picture and the job looks suspicious.
- If you are a new seller, you can still bid on these buyer requests because you may not have enough buyer requests shown in your dashboard. It will at least increase your impressions on the gig.
Keep Your Fiverr Statistics Up

Fiverr Repeat Buyers
Fiverr ranks your gigs on which your old buyers keep coming back. This factor can help you increase your orders 100 times.
When your old buyers keep coming back to the same gig, it means you are providing quality services to your buyers and in the result
Fiverr ranks your gig.
The next section how to deal with buyers on Fiverr will explain to you how to make sure your buyers keep coming back.
Dealing With Buyers
- Don't keep them waiting for your message. When they contact you, replay their message ASAP.
- When your buyer places an order on your profile, notify them by sending a short message that that order has been placed and you have started working on the project. You will deliver it in the agreed time.
- If you need 7 or 10 days to complete the project, keep your buyers updated about the progress every 2 days or so. Do not send them an update message every day unless they have asked you.
- Never over-promise the work but try to go a little extra mile while not exploiting your self or your time.
- Respect your buyers, always talk to them politely. Never be rude on anything. If a buyer is not behaving right, deal with him gracefully.
- If your buyer gives you a TIP after order completion, make sure you send him a thank you message and tell him the TIP helps you work hard and provide quality services. It will increase the chance of getting TIP again from the same buyer.
- Keep good relation with your buyer.
- Never try to scam your buyers. Respect their money.
Fiverr Reviews For Buyer
When your buyers give you a review on the order, Fiverr gives an option to the seller to leave a review for the buyer as well.
This buyer review and your (seller) review appears on your Fiverr profile and Fiverr gig.
Following points will explain how writing a review for your buyer
can bring you more clients.
- One of the thing that attack new buyers is the review on the seller profile and gig. If you write a good review reply, it will give positive energy to your new potential buyers to buy a service from you.
- Never write few words or small sentence review to your buyer.
- Do not write very long essay like review for your buyer.
- Write a good 3-4 lines. Briefly tell you had an amazing experience with this buyer and briefly write how you helped him solve his problem.
- Do not write same template sample review for every buyer. Try to write a customized review.
Writing your buyer a review like above-mentioned points will give an impact how professional you are completing projects for clients, and it will give them a little insight of what problems you solved for clients.
An example of such review can be:
It was an amazing experience working with you, John. I am pleased to see your website doing so well that I create for your business from scratch. I am always available to work with you. Very nice buyer.
Fiverr Settings & Availability
Make sure your availability and offline settings are set to correct options. By any mistake, these options can make you unavailable for clients, and you can lose a lot of customers without even realizing.
