GETTING REPEAT FIVERR CUSTOMERS
We do this by following up with happy customers 1-2 weeks later. In the beginning of your Fiverr career, this is a great way to squeeze out more sales and get more reviews. Later on though, you may be too busy or this may be too much work than it’s worth. When you’re just starting out or are trying to become a Level 1 or Level 2 seller, this works great.
Create a shortlist of Fiverr users who left you a positive review on one of your gigs. Contact them all in a few days to up to 2 weeks with a message like this:
“Hey username!
Thanks again for buying my GIG NAME HERE gig and leaving me a positive review! It helps me a lot. I wanted to offer you something special since you’ve enjoyed my gig! If you’re interested, I will offer my gig <here you offer a little more than what you offered before for only $5. So, if you gave them 500 Twitter followers, offer them 700. If you gave them a 50 word video testimonial, offer them a 100 word for $5, etc>.
I would be more than happy to offer this to you! If you’re not interested, it’s cool! I was just in a generous mood today
Anyway, hope everything is well with you! Take it easy!
- Name”
GETTING YOUR GIG FEATURED OR ON THE FRONT PAGE OF FIVERR
Getting your gig on the front page of Fiverr is huge. It’s not as hard as you may think and you don’t have to be selling a lot or even be a Top Rated Seller to be handpicked by one of Fiverr’s staff.
The first thing is your gig and profile must be “Fiverr friendly”. Having a Fiverr friendly gig means you can’t be selling a gig that’s potentially against the terms of service of another website. So, selling YouTube views or backlinks or writing a message on your cleavage will not get you on the front page of Fiverr.
The second thing to consider is you should have a service that’s either very unique or bizarre. If you look at some of the gigs on the front page, you will see many of them are pretty unique services or very strange. Also, offering a gig that’s relevant to the time of year (e.g. Christmas themed gig, Valentine’s Day gig) works very well too. Some examples I’ve seen:
- I will make a short video of myself dancing in spandex
- I will draw you in a cool cartoon caricature
- I will write you a love poem pretending to be a distant girlfriend
- I will professionally master your song
I’m not suggesting you to do any of these gigs (especially the spandex one). What I’m saying is, if you can offer something unique or has a twist to a very popular/common gig, go for it.
The third thing to consider is you must have a video for your gig. A lot of front page gigs don’t have them, yes, but Fiverr loves videos in gigs, especially ones that are well produced, pimp out Fiverr and have good music.
The last thing and probably something you wouldn’t believe works, is to just ask. Yup, email Fiverr and ask them if they’d be willing to feature your gig. Don’t just email them a one liner “Hey can you put my gig X on your front page?” Email them a short paragraph on how much you like Fiverr and describe your gig in detail and why you think it deserves to be on the front page.
UPSELLING/CROSS-PROMOTING OTHER GIGS AND SERVICES
Fiverr provides an amazing opportunity for you to offer and up sell other gigs or services to Fiverr users. Let’s say you are a graphic designer. You have a gig on Fiverr “I will design your small business logo for $5”. You make a decent amount of sales per day, around 10. After Fiverr takes their cut, you’re making $40 per day. Decent but not enough to make a living as a graphic designer. However, what Fiverr is essentially doing for you is building up a base of clientele for you to offer more or other services to outside of Fiverr.
The first thing, is if you have a website or portfolio relevant to the services you provide on Fiverr, include it in your bio. Also include this link in all your gigs under “Instructions to Buyers” and every time you deliver an order. If you’re a freelance graphic designer, this is an amazing opportunity to show off your portfolio to people who are looking for graphic design.
Secondly, every time you deliver an order, recommend another relevant gig or service to your buyer in the delivery message. For example, when you deliver your logo, include a message like this:
“Did you know I do more than just logos? If you’re looking for PSD design for your website or are just looking for more affordable and quality design services, check out my portfolio! “YourLinkHere”
I offer a 10% discount to all Fiverr users! Just include your Fiverr username with your order.”
This is extremely effective at milking your services for more money. You could also do this to cross-promote other gigs or up sell on a gig you offer. For example, if you sell Twitter followers, why not include a link to your Twitter retweet gig when you deliver your order for Twitter followers? Better yet, if you sell say 1000 Twitter followers for $5, up sell the service. Tell the buyer when you deliver the order that you can offer him or her 10,000 for $40.
Again, get creative or put your own twists to it. These are just examples of the kinds of up sells or cross-promotions you can do through Fiverr. A huge chunk of your income can come thanks to this if you’re a freelancer or entrepreneur.
