Before you commit to working with a company or a professional you usually like to know who exactly it is that you’ll be doing business with. Maybe you google them, check out their linkedin profile, or take a look at their other social media channels. At the end of the day, we all like to know a little bit about the people we’re trusting with our hard earned money, and this is no less true for buyers on Fiverr.
On Fiverr, the first thing most buyers will do before they click the “purchase” button is check out your seller profile. It’s important to invest some time and thought into your profile, you want to craft a page that displays exactly who you are and what makes you unique. From your picture to your description, think of your profile as a way to declare yourself, your skills, and why your buyer should choose you.
Display Your Skills

Whatever your Gig is, whether it’s in graphic design, programming, writing or anything else, it’s important to find a creative way to demonstrate through your profile why you are the best choice for that category. If you’re a designer then you should have an awesome and visually intriguing profile picture. If you’re a writer then your description should be engaging and well written.
While it’s important to keep your profile professional, you should also let your quirks and unique personality shine through. Whether this means you’re wearing your favorite band’s t-shirt in your profile picture (even if it’s a professionally done headshot) or it means that you reference your hobbies in your description. Keep it subtle, remember it’s all about the Gigs, but show that you bring something special to the table.
Show your true face

It’s human nature to want to see the face of the person with whom you’re communicating. If you can have a profile picture that clearly shows your face, it will make your profile look more professional and will show buyers that they’re working with a real individual person.
Use your description space wisely
While it’s good to put fun or light-hearted touches to your description, each word is taking up valuable real estate. Don’t waste space on too many things that are off topic. Focus first on writing a clear and sharp description of who you are and then tweak it to make it more personable within the space limits.

A great profile inspires confidence and enthusiasm in buyers and is an important part of building your Fiverr business!
