If you learn how to create a professional gig on Fiverr, you will be able to stand out from most beginners who are struggling to get orders on the platform.

When it comes to freelancing, Fiverr is the best platform as it has helped small business owners to find freelancers and do important tasks for only $5.

In this post, I will show you how to create a professional gig on Fiverr and show you some tricks that can help you get more orders faster.

Steps to create a professional gig on Fiverr

1. Register your new account on Fiverr

The first step to get started is to create your new account so that you will be able to get access to become a seller on the platform.

Creating a new account is not complicated at all. All you have to do is to sign up through, Facebook, Google, or Apple.

Pretty simple, isn’t it?

2. select a low-competition Fiverr gig

Before you create your profile, you will need to choose a gig that has low competition and significant demand so that you can get orders within a week.

Why am I saying so?

Well, because I know a lot of freelancers who have started on Fiverr choosing a gig that seems really exciting or because they could make a lot of money with a single completed task.

And in the end, they end up disappointed as it takes too long to get any order.

You have to understand one crucial thing:

There is a lot of competition on the platform. Choosing a gig that is in demand, trending, or that has a lot of income potential is very competitive and you won’t be able to stand out.

That’s why, in the beginning, it’s vital to choose a gig that can help you get orders fast, and then after you built your reputation and got some positive reviews, you can pivot to other money-making gigs.

3. Create your profile

Now that you know which gig you will choose, it’s time to create and optimize your profile so that you can get favored on Fiverr’s algorithm.

It’s important to add relevant information to your profile so that any potential buyer who visits your profile understands who you are and what kind of services you provide.

Here is the information that you will have to add:

Be sure to complete every section as potential buyers will see you as a professional seller.

If you are having trouble creating your profile, then here is an in-depth guide that will help you to create a good profile.

4. Do keyword research for your first gig

After you have completed your profile, the next step is to do keyword research also known as positive keyword research for your Fiverr gig.

This is a crucial step as it will determine whether you are appearing on the search results to the right audience.

Skipping this step will be detrimental to your account as the Fiverr algorithm won’t understand what your gig is all about and how to rank it.

Doing keyword research for your Fiverr gig is not complicated at all. Here is a complete guide that will help you to find and use positive keywords for your Fiverr gig.

5. Activate your seller’s account

To be able to become a seller on Fiverr, you will need to activate your seller account. This is really easy as all you have to do is to click on the “Become a seller” option on your dashboard’s top bar.

Complete the seller account activation by following the instructions.

6. Create your first gig

Now that you are a seller, it’s time to create your first gig.

Make sure seller mode is activated, then choose Gigs and press the “Create A New Gig” button.

Now you will get this screen where you will have to add some important information for your gig.

Before you start to add your information, there are a few things that you will need to know:

Gig Title- There shouldn’t be more than 80 characters in your gig title. So be careful to come up with a compelling Gig title. Also, don’t forget to include at least 1 positive keyword for your gig.
Category- Since Fiverr will recommend appropriate categories depending on your Gig Title, you don’t need to worry too much about them.
Tags- Use pertinent tags. The number of keywords you may include while building your gig is capped at five. If you want to improve your chances of being found by buyers, your keywords must be relevant to your gig.

If you don’t know which tags to use, then you can do a quick search on Fiverr to see what the pros are using.

Here is an example:

7. Use high-quality images for your gig

It is important to understand that the way potential buyers will see you and your profile will have a massive difference in your success on the platform.

The first impression they get about you is really important as they will need to trust that you are a professional before they ever decide to contact you.

This is why you should ALWAYS use high-quality images for your profile and gigs.

Also, the use of high-quality photos that persuade the user to click on your gig is, therefore, crucial to be able to get more views and impressions.

For instance, if you do a quick search for graphic design on Fiverr you will get this:

As you can see, every pro seller has created images that are appealing and grab attention.

You should try to find inspiration for your gig and see what types of pictures are working well.

Then you will have to create similar images(with your personal touch) and add them to your gigs.

If you are someone who doesn’t have any editing skills, you can use your FREE Canva account to create beautiful images just like the pros.

It is really simple and easy to use Canva as you can use their drag and drop feature to personalize your images.

8. Set your pricing

Once you have entered all the information for your gig, the next step is to add your pricing.

This can be really tricky as many beginners often struggle to put value to their work.

So, how can you solve this issue?

It’s really simple.

Do a quick search on Fiverr and see what the pros and beginners are charging. Have a look at their packages and see if there is anything you can add.

Then, charge the lowest price you can(including the additional task). I know, it can sound frustrating to charge a low price in the beginning.

But, you will have to do it to build your reputation and get positive reviews to be able to get higher on the search results.

Before you decide on your price, it’s vital to know that Fiverr will take a cut for every completed transaction as it is their main source of revenue.

Here is how much you will make after each completed order:

Gig Price	Revenue after order completed
$5.00	$4.00
$10.00	$8.00
$15.00	$12.00
$20.00	$16.00
$25.00	$20.00
$50.00	$40.00
$100.00	$80.00
$150.00	$120.00
$200.00	$160.00
$250.00	$200.00
$500.00	$400.00
$1000.00	$800.00

9. Promote your gig on social media

Now that you have created your professional gig on Fiverr, you will need to create awareness so that you can speed up the process.

For any new gig created on Fiverr, it can take around 30 days for the positive keyword to reach its full potential.

Meanwhile, you can speed up the process and get more views on your profile and gigs so that the Fiverr algorithm understands that you are getting social traffic and giving you a boost in ranking.

Pro tip: The more impressions and views a gig gets, the more Fiverr will show it to potential buyers.

For social media, I will highly advise you to use Pinterest. As far as I know, it is the best social media platform to reach a wide audience, create awareness and bring targeted traffic to a page.

So, why am I suggesting Pinterest?

To answer this question, let’s have a look at my analytics:

As you can see, my best-performing pin generated( 5,057 outbound clicks) in just 1 month.

This is the raw potential of Pinterest, my friend.

And the fantastic thing is that it is FREE traffic.

Here is my complete guide that will help you to use Pinterest to generate traffic to your Fiverr profile.
