My Journey of 3 Months Working on Fiverr During Summer Vacation
My Journey of 3 Months Working on Fiverr During Summer Vacation
Starting Out:
In the beginning, I created my profile on Fiverr. Although I didn’t achieve what I expected initially and found limited useful content on YouTube about this field, I began to discover marketing strategies from scratch. I continuously updated my profile and focused on key points I wanted potential clients to notice.
Facing Initial Challenges:
The biggest challenge was getting views on my gigs in the beginning. Competing with thousands of sellers was tough, especially without any credibility or sales history. Most clients preferred experienced sellers with numerous sales. To increase my gig visibility, I researched Fiverr’s SEO algorithms, discovering methods to improve my gig's chances of being seen.
Improving My Gig:
The next challenge was getting clicks on my gig. I had to pay close attention to the gig image and title, which improved my design skills and understanding of people’s preferences. Here’s an example of one of the final images I created :
First Client Experience:
After some time, several people contacted me with questions about my service. Eventually, one person ordered a website design from me. However, his requirements were extremely challenging: seven pages with unlimited revisions for just $5. Despite the low price, I accepted because I wanted to secure my first sale.
Overcoming Setbacks:
I worked for a week, designing more than seven pages and making numerous revisions. On the final day, despite all the efforts, the order was canceled due to disagreements. This left me without any financial gain, but I gained valuable lessons in client communication and project management. I learned how to better set expectations and handle challenging demands.
Expanding My Services:
Designing websites wasn’t the only service I offered. I also provided various other services, including creating standard websites using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, developing WordPress sites, designing website layouts, and converting designs into live sites. Here are the link to these services :
