So you’ve heard about Fiverr® and how it’s the biggest marketplace around for creative services starting at $5. Naturally, you’re excited about trying it for yourself, but you have no clue about how to get started.
Do you just jump into it, willy-nilly, or do you do copious research that takes forever? We’ve got the perfect solution for you: Our easy-to-read, DIY guide will quickly show you the ropes, so that you can get started on Fiverr efficiently.
Create a Professional and Attractive Profile
No one will want to buy your services, no matter how useful they are or how much they need them, if you fail to present yourself properly. It’s sort of like going into a job interview in the real world: Wear dirty gym shoes and a T-shirt, and get rejected. Wear a smart, business-casual ensemble, and see your chances of getting hired wildly increase!
The same concept applies to your Fiverr profile. Come off as professional by explaining the services you have to offer, but don’t be afraid to leaven your profile with some casual language or even a splash of humor. That combination makes you look approachable, as well as professional, which is a killer mix.
Offer Services That People Actually Want or Need
The secret to getting people to buy your services and for you to develop a loyal client base lies in the services you offer. The more your services are in-demand, the more people will seek you out. It’s not rocket science.
For instance, one of the biggest areas on Fiverr is the creation of video testimonials, explainer videos and promotional videos by professional freelancers. These very creative people excel at narration, voiceovers and overall public speaking, which are all highly sought-after talents for businesses who want to promote their services or enhance customer service. Check out the video testimonials services page to get a better idea of services that are very much in-demand.
Now, on the other hand, if you’re into offering services like… watering people’s plants for them while they’re away on vacation, you may not be that successful. Just saying!
Make Sure That Your Customer Service Is Second to None
If you peruse a list of the more successful sellers on Fiverr, you’ll quickly notice one, common trait: Their customer service is always first-rate. That’s not by accident. When you keep your customers happy by giving them what they want in a highly reliable and professional way, you earn a loyal customer base (and great seller ratings, too).
To keep customers and clients happy, simply do the following:
- Make sure you get back to them in a timely fashion (watch your responsiveness time frame)
- Be reliable and actually deliver what you promise
- Do an exemplary job for each and every one of them
Do all of these three things with every customer or client, and watch how you can ensure that your customers keep coming back to you for more. There’s nothing like having happy customers.
Everyone Can Use Fiverr; Not Everyone Can Have a Successful Business on Fiverr
Everyone who can offer a service for $5 can be a Fiverr seller. That doesn’t mean that it’ll lead to a successful Fiverr business, though. To boost your chances of operating a successful business on Fiverr, take the above tips to heart when using our marketplace.
By presenting yourself as a professional, you’ve already won half the battle right there. By offering in-demand services and ensuring that your customer service is top-notch, you’ll pave the way for a successful Fiverr business for a good, long while to come.
