What is Fiverr?



Fiverr is a unique freelance website that is existing for more than three years and has a simple concept.
Users can offer various services that they are willing to do for 5$.
Fiverr Home page
From home made dancing videos to banner design, you can find almost anything on this original internet marketplace. If you take close look, you will see that there are many creative people from around the world that were able to monetize their talents and skills thanks to Fiverr.

All you have to do is signup on Fiverr and after you have activated your username, the next step is completing the profile by adding a short bio and a picture (it doesn't have to be your own photo).

Creating a Gig is really easy - all you need is creativity and offer buyers some service that you are willing to do for 5$.
Editing a Gig is extremely important! You should choose a good title for your gig in order to attract customers.The title can have only one word in capital letters, use the word that is describing your gig in the best way.

An example of a good title: I will create two exclusive and PROFESSIONAL logo designs for 5$

An example of bad title: I will create two logo designs for 5$

In this case the buyer will know that he is dealing with a serious seller who can meet his requirements.
Carefully choose the category and the subcategory in which your Gig should be posted.

The description is also of great importance, you should write as much as you can to describe your Gig but you should take care of the writing style because you don't want your buyers to be bored by reading the description. You've got a maximum of 450 characters to describe your gig.

Fill the section Instructions to Buyer with things that you need to know in order to start working on your gig. 
Example: Hi and thank you for your order! Please give me the following information so I could start working on your order - the name of your website/company. Thank you!
When the buyer buys your gig, he will get the text that you've added as Instructions to Buyer and he will respond.
 
The tags are also very important. You should choose words that are describing your gig in the best way. 
Let's say I'm a visitor that wants to buy a logo from Fiverr. First thing that I am going to do is use the search box and write logo design and I will get a list of all the gigs related to these words. So you should take care that you add several relevant words that will describe your gig.
Example: logo, design. professional, designer, website, company, exclusive
The more tags used the better.

Next step - delivery time. Make sure that you will deliver your order on time because this is one of the things that will affect your rating.  

You should also add an image associated with your gig. Make sure you add three images because it really helps when it comes to better exposure.

At last save and publish your Gig and if everything is all right Fiverr will publish it immediately.

Adding a video is not necessary but Fiverr encourages users to add video to their Gigs and promises better exposure. In cases of similar gigs those with videos have twice more views compared to those without video.

Make sure that you share your Gig on social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Google + and similar sites because they bring a lot of traffic and more traffic means more orders!

You can have a maximum of 20 gigs associated with one account. You can get 4$ per completed order, because 1$ goes for Fiverr. Once you get 10 positive reviews for your gigs you can add extras on your gigs and earn even more!
