Select Category and Keywords

[04:57]
Set Pricing

Research competitors' pricing. Avoid setting price too low (looks unprofessional) or too high (buyers won't trust new gig). Set price based on portfolio and experience, within a reasonable range.

Select 'No' for extra services, choose primary source for long-term work, and verify identity with phone and ID to publish the gig.

[01:26] And while writing the description, you should not change the word 'I' from 'Goat' to 'Titli'. Often people are fulfilling the dreams of buyers here. The dream will come true You should not do such things here. Show your expertise. How will you show that?

[01:40] Mention your past projects if you have worked on them. Otherwise, if you have any portfolio or have done any work for any client, mention it here. If still there is nothing then you can mention your certifications and your learnings here. But you have to show your capability

[01:55] in the description. So whatever results you generated for your past clients, you want to write a description of Chat GPT, I have written that and I will write the rest also. follow these tips. And while writing the description, it is necessary to keep in mind the character limit. You may

[02:09] you have deleted your main keywords and your expertise. Whatever your level of fluency is, you can select it here. You already know Urdu and Hindi. You can select this. When I was a

[02:23] freelancer on Fiverr, one thing I used to do was add other languages use Google translator to communicate. Like here I added French. So if you are still good in any other language then you can add it here. This makes a

[02:36] difference to your impressions. Next you have to select the main skill within your occupation. Like I have selected video editing here. In the skills section, you have to select all the relevant skills in which you are an expert.

[03:19] stuffing too many keywords into the title. In order to rank, they just enter keywords, keywords, keywords. Remember, your title should contain keywords. But overall that title should also make some sense. You analyze the rest of the gig.

[03:31] also make some sense. You analyze the rest of the gig. and from there you can get very good suggestions for your title which will also include your keyword. And your title will also make good sense. Otherwise, if you

[03:44] also make good sense. Otherwise, if you Next you have to select the category and sub-category of your gig. Make sure you select this carefully because Fiverr will

[03:58] assign impressions to your gig according to this category. So if you select the wrong category select any category then there is less competition in it, then this is a bad practice. even if you get some impressions, they will also be very irrelevant due to which

[04:14] question of orders. In the end keywords section, you have to give you a short tip right now. Simply go to Fiverr search and search for your skill there. After searching, see how many gigs are coming there.

[04:28] And then press the space bar along with your gig and write any keyword. Click on whoever is recommending you on Fiverr and see how many gigs are coming in now. select such a keyword on which the top 10 gigs also have orders in queue.

[04:42] 10 gigs also have orders in queue. gig numbers should also be lower. So you can pick such keywords in the beginning. first have to research your competitors to see whether your competitors are offering multiple prices

[04:57] or what the majority is doing. That will give you an idea. If everyone is working better, then you should offer the same. Or offering multiple packages then you will check multiple prices here.

[05:12] Majority of beginners make two mistakes while setting pricing. The biggest mistake they make is keeping the price so low thinking that it will attract buyers. But most buyers will see you as and probably won't even open your gig. And the second mistake they make is that they make the

[05:27] very high in the beginning so that the buyers think that some very expert person has come. I should hire this one. So Bayer will never take that big of a bat over a new gig. So what do you have to do in such a situation? Keep this simple thing

[05:40] in mind that whatever price you set, it should be based on your portfolio or your experience. That means, whatever your experience title, description, your profile , your price should justify it

[05:53] and somewhere in between, it should fall within the range. This is the best strategy for you to start with. Now it's time for your gig description, which is one of the most important parts of your gig. Understand that this is a make or break moment.

[06:06] Here the boy decides whether he wants to message you or not. And the biggest mistake that beginners make here is

[06:19] in this field. I will do this for you, I will do for you what all beginner freelancers are doing. Again, whatever I told you in the profile description, you have to follow the same here. You have to tell in your description.

[06:31] Tell me what your experience is. You have to talk more about your clients than yourself grown so many brands. I have worked with so many clients. And if you are not able to understand how to make a portfolio, then the

[06:47] also available in the button above. I am also providing the link in the description below. Go check it out as a beginner and see how you should work if you don't have any clients. is a very important section. Whatever general questions are relevant to your service,

[07:01] This saves a lot of time for the buyer and he comes to you and asks you very specific questions, which saves time for both you and your buyer. So fill the FS carefully. Now in this section, whatever information you want from your buyer,

[07:14] you must mention it here. Because many times it happens that beginners miss this section. Buyers place direct orders and leave. Neither do they have any files nor any information. Sometimes

[07:27] credentials are required. They don't have anything. The order is in progress. The buyer is not responding. And then when the work is not delivered, the buyer And your career is over before it even begins. So this is the majority section.

[07:40] Fill carefully. Now comes again one of the most important part of your gig which is your gig image. See, whenever gigs are shown in the search query, the most visible part to the buyer is your gig image. Almost 80% then your title

[07:54] price and somewhere your little picture is coming. So if your gig image is weak , blurry, not of high quality , not engaging then your chances of getting orders are almost zero. Remember, what is seen is what sells. Not only beginners but

[08:10] why do I need to do so much ? You are the sage god. I know everything. n't yet know what you know. You will have to show him what you know. So if you are a You are so many air tools, cwa. You can make it from there also. But I would

[08:26] personally recommend you to get your gig image designed by a professional and use it. And in many cases you also need a video of the gig. Even must upload the gig video. This makes your impressions better. But in some skills

[08:41] show your samples there. You have to show your edit. So you must upload the video there anyway. If you do not upload the video, your gig will not be published. And let me tell you one more thing, if you want to add your own edit then please do

[08:54] not edit the stock footage and add it. Everyone must have done the same. Go shoot some original content. Edit that. Show the proper story through your edit and put it up. Impressions will also be good. The buyer will also be more convinced. Now here you are being asked whether

[09:07] not click on Yes. Select no and proceed further. Here you have to select the primary source work for long term and Fiverr also builds trust by this thing that okay friend, this person is coming to me for long term. Select, submit and
