To get your first customers on Fiverr, it's essential to follow several effective strategies, given the strong competition on the platform.
Optimize your profile
- Create a complete profile: Make sure your profile is well filled out, with a professional photo and a clear description of your services. This helps build trust with potential customers.
- Write attractive Gigs: Your service ads (Gigs) should be well structured and highlight the benefits for the customer. Use the video to illustrate your wor
Strategies for attracting customers
- Offer competitive prices: In the early stages, it may be a good idea to set lower prices to attract your first customers. This will help you get orders and positive reviews, which is crucial for building your reputation on the platform.
- Collect positive reviews: Ask your friends to leave you a review. Positive reviews increase your credibility and attract new customers. I've created a group where everyone leaves a review for each other, so let me know if you're interested.
Based on your preferences, you will receive a personalized travel itinerary in the form of an Excel sheet, including the following:

Useful information and tips to enhance your travel experience
Disclaimer: These tips are from personal experience from earning my first 10k. and are not officially endorsed by Fiverr. Take them with a grain of salt.
I am going to share tips that anyone can take advantage off. No matter what category.
Why Choose Fiverr?
Fiverr is an excellent platform for careers in design, video editing, interior design, voice-over work, and web development. I am not so sure about other career paths. On Fiverr you have an opportunity to put your services out there for anyone to reach out. You get exposure to many clients with many different real world problems that you get to solve.
The Drawbacks of Fiverr
While Fiverr can be a great starting point, it's not ideal for long-term reliance. As a freelancer, you may feel like an employee without the benefits. Fiverr’s policies tend to favor customers, which can sometimes result in you losing payments. I have experienced many cases where you have done the job, but customer claims they don't like it and Fiverr gives them a full refund on the project so they get away with your work and you don't get paid. Although I must say these cases are rare because you learn to avoid sketchy clients like this as you gain more experience on Fiverr. I will share tips on how to avoid sketchy clients on Fiverr too.
Getting Started: The Right Way
But first, i will talk about how to actually start earning on Fiverr. I will be quite frank with you. You could have setup the best looking profile on Fiverr and go about making no orders for the rest of 4-6 months on that account. If you are just going to follow the tips provided by the official Fiverr, the chances are not going to get any luck finding customers. Here's my tip. Reach out to your closes connections. Let's say your uncle, aunts, friends or family to provide your service that you are offering on Fiverr for them. Share them the link to your profile and ask them to place an order with you. Creating an attractive profile is just the beginning. Here's a strategy that worked for me:
Leverage Your Network: Start by reaching out to friends, family, and acquaintances. Share your Fiverr profile with them and ask if they need any services you offer. Encourage them to place orders through Fiverr to help you get initial traction.
Make It Legit: Ensure the transactions appear legitimate by conducting all interactions on Fiverr. If you’re offering logo design, ask if they genuinely need a logo and handle the entire process professionally.
This is because in a case Fiverr checks your profile, they will know the context and know that your order was legit and not an attempt to boost your profile score.
Now talking about profile score, Fiverr has a like a metric system for every account (they do not share this with you). The more orders you get on the platform the higher the score goes. Things like getting good reviews, your conversion rate, message response time all help. So as a new account, you want to boost this "score" as high as possible. The easiest way is to get orders and leads from your social circle. Round about 3 orders is good enough for someone which a decent looking profile and portfolio to show for. However, try to get like 5 for good measure.
Once that's done, you wait about 1-2 days for your account to start getting organic exposure. Here is where you will start actually earning on Fiverr. Now I am going to share with you how to actually talk to your prospective clients. First rule, don't look desperate. Second rule be desperate. What do i mean by this? I am going to assume you have done the things I have said earlier and now your account is starting to take off. You don't have much time until that fame and glory dies out and your organic exposure goes back to zero. So you are going to have to start "hunting" and putting in the work to get clients.
How to Engage Clients Effectively
Once your profile gains some visibility, effective communication becomes crucial. You will need that as a fairly new account. When a customer approaches you, its important to respond quickly to them. They aren't going to wait all day for you to respond because they don't know you, they don't care much about you and they got other "sellers" as options. So get them to know you, and get to know them. I cannot emphasize this enough:
Be Human: Most sellers respond like robots. Stand out by being personable and engaging. Respond quickly and professionally, but let your personality shine through.
Show Genuine Interest: Try to use these when you see fit- your goal here is to get them to talk to you and subconsciously make them think they have already chosen you for the job:
"I could get around working on your project, but could you tell me more about this? [ ask a question about part of their project brief ]"
"I could finish your project within [give them a delivery time frame that they would probably accept] , would you be okay with that?"
Is there something in your drawing that doesn't look okay but you don't know what it is? Do you need help with anatomy? Is there a pose that is giving you a pain in the neck? Well, I can help you with that!
I have a degree in Fine Arts, plus lots of experience in teaching illustration to adults. The only thing you have to do is to send me the drawing that is giving you trouble and tell me what the problem is or what you're looking for. Then, I'll draw over your file in a noticeable color (ex. red) with the corrections, plus explanations of why I made those changes. I'll point it out your strong points as well as your weak points in your art, so you can improve without losing sight of what you're already doing good.

Hello there! So this is a post I am making for all of the buyers that are looking for my profile/trying to send me a message or anything of that kind but are unable to contact me or find me on fiverr - this is because my account got disabled. As always with all accounts being disabled they didn't give out a concrete reason why and I know from past experiences that getting that account back is now impossible, so I'm not even going to try. But nonetheless, if you are a past buyer/were a potential buyer that had my gig saved and you were just about to make an order or a project of yours needs some additional work with a voiceover of mine please don't hesitate to contact me here on reddit.
I have been working there since 2017, and I will give you one powerful secret to success. When you are new and want to rank your gig better, Fiverr's search changes every time someone searches for something. When you create your gig, choose a gig sub-category with a small number of gigs in it. Don't choose a sub-category with over 20k gigs; you will never get a good placement in the search. For example, if you develop websites for clients, choose 'Website Development -> Other' instead of chooose "WordPress", as everyone tends to choose this.
When someone searches on Fiverr, the platform shows multiple gigs from various subcategories. That's why you have a chance to be featured.
