Why Aren't My Fiverr Gigs Selling?

Why Aren't My Fiverr Gigs Selling?

Many new Fiverr sellers get discouraged after they've setup a few gigs and a few weeks go by without a sale. Really getting things rolling on Fiverr is a slow process and can take a while. I think it was about a year in to my Fiverr journey before I started consistantly getting sales and building up some solid feedback.

The thing about Fiverr is once your sales start rolling in and you start getting some gigs, if you do a good job and impress the customer and earn a good feedback score you will begin showing up higher in Fiverrs searches and the higher you go in searches the more gigs you will sell. Once things get rolling it really does snowball and before you know it you'll be selling 5-8 gigs per day, but it does take patience.

A good strategy for putting gigs up on Fiverr is to do some keyword research and figure out what people in your niche or seeking your services are searching for. You may even want to search your keyword or term in Fiverrs search and see similar gigs that pull up in results.

Never copy someone else's gig, however you can use it as inspiration and take some ideas such as what their title looks like, the type of gig photos they have, what their description is like, etc.

If you've listed a Fiverr gig and two weeks passes and you don't get any sales try searching for your own gig in Fiverr search. If you pop up and find yourself you are ranked in Fiverrs search function and you can improve your ranking by tweaking the title, description, or even changing a picture. If you don't show up in Fiverr search it's best at that time to just abandon the gig and start fresh.

Some people report that they change up their gig title, description, and photos on a monthly basis to kind of reshuffle themself in search and keep things fresh. Personally I've had some gigs that have been successful for over a year without any tweaks, however many do report that a gig that has always sold well will just die in it's tracks for no reason and that's when you want to shuffle things around.

The main lesson is be patient. Put together quality gigs, promote your gigs outside of Fiverr on social media, your Youtube Channel and Blog, etc. Gigs will start coming, make sure you deliver quickly and over deliver above customers expectations and your Fiverr business will continue to grow.
