Fiverr is a marketplace where people went from earning $0 to making six figures of income yearly. There are people who have a full-time career on Fiverr.
Most of the people think that it’s just luck to make that much on a place like Fiverr, a place where services are sold at a minimum price of $5. I think people can earn 90% more if they Rank their Fiverr Gigs the correct way.
When you’re on the first page of Fiverr search, you are kinda famous. There are a lot of buyers placing orders on your gig on daily basis.
How can people become a millionaire on a website where services have a starting rate of $5?
Well, that’s just what you think, and probably what everyone thought a few years ago (in around 2014) When some of the sellers, taking it as a joke, made a profile on Fiverr. They started earning more than their regular job. Today, those sellers make a complete living from just Fiverr.
Here is a rough estimate of how much Fiverr earns daily:
The website has a daily unique visitors of about 2,518, 092. That’s too much buyer and seller traffic on daily basis.
Moreover, the site makes a monthly income of more than $600,000 from the profit they earn by buyer fee as well as seller order percentage they take.
You still think you cannot become a millionaire on Fiverr?
How Fiverr’s Search Algorithm Works
Fiverr’s Search Algorithm ranks gigs according to the number of reviews you get, your conversion rate, and Gig Tags & Description.
One needs to really use their mind to find out the top secrets which can help them rank better. As that is the only key to successful sales on Fiverr.
Before you give up on your account and delete your account with no hope of earning much on Fiverr, Follow my 11 personally tested and successful tricks to rank Fiverr Gigs:
1. Get Your First Order ASAP
If you want to build trust for buyers, you need to first have a review to get more clients to order your gig.
Something that can be done to fix this is to get someone to review your gig for you.
I’d generally recommend you to go with doing buyer requests every day and you will definitely get a buyer to contact you and buy your gig if you are doing things correctly.
When you have a review on the gig, your profile looks populated with some content and you become a rated seller. I recommend doing the best you can with your first order.
2. Do Proper On-Page SEO of your Gig
Just like we bloggers do SEO of our pages, on Fiverr you have to do the On-Page SEO on your Gig so that it appears higher in search results. This can do done with the help of keywords. Let’s have a look at it:
Add keywords to Gig Title
Only one keyword included in the Gig Title can help increase the chance of your Gig being ranked.
For Example: “I will fix WordPress issues for you right now” (Here “fix wordpress issues” is a keyword.)
Note: This is not always necessary, but this helps in most cases.
Add the right Keywords to Tags
When you’re creating a gig, on the “Overview” tab you’re asked to add 5 Gig Tags. These tags are to be used for entering keywords which buyers search for.
How to find the right keywords?
You can find the accurate keywords for your Gig by using search terms which the buyer may be using when they are looking for services.
For Example: if you’re selling WordPress Fixation services then search for “Fix WordPress” and a bunch of keywords will start appearing. Try adding the keywords in the tags just like: Fix WordPress, WordPress, Customization, Fix, Fix WordPress Issues.
Note that the above keywords can be used in combination, such as “WordPress” and “Customization” can make up “WordPress Customization” so that when someone searches for that, you Gig may appear on first page.
You can also check what tags other sellers have added in their gigs
By scrolling to the very bottom of a Gig, you will find the tags the seller has added in their Gig. This is how they look:
Add Keywords to description
In a similar way, you have to add keywords to your Gig Description as well but here’s a big TIP: Don’t over-do it. You can add the keywords in the beginning of your Gig Description.
Example: “Are you having WordPress issues? Worry not! Because I am an expert who has helped many clients Fix WordPress Issues.”
You see a keyword “Fix WordPress Issues” but it doesn’t sound like I’m being forced to add it in the sentence, everything goes with the flow of the sentence.
Keywords also appear in your Gig URL
This is a good practice. Your Gig URL cannot be changed once your Gig is published, the link for the Gig is auto-generated from the Gig Title.
If the keywords are included correctly in the Gig Title, they will automatically appear in your Gig URL.
3. Make trustworthy clients
When you have made more clients who trust you, they’ll never hesitate in working with you again. You can even later contact them and ask if there is more work available for you.
In this way you’ll be able to always maintain your ratings and your cash-flow will be regular.
When working with buyers, make sure the price is good and you are focusing on their satisfaction. Don’t hesitate with doing multiple revisions.
4. Increase your conversion rate
Conversion Rate means how many new clients inbox you and end up having an order with you. You have to communicate better. More conversion rate also helps in ranking your Gig faster in search results.
As Fiverr will recognize that you are working on a daily basis and benefiting their platform, they’ll start benefiting you.
To check your conversion rate you usually have to Install the Fiverr App and on the main page you’ll see conversion in percentage.
5. Have a good Average Selling Rate
An Average selling rate is an average amount of earning you have with your orders on Fiverr. If you have almost all your orders over $50 consistently (without having any orders of $5 or $10 in between) then soon your Average selling rate will be $50.
Fiverr Search shows buyers Gigs according to their budget, so when buyers select a budget your Gig will be shown because your Average selling rate is according to their budget. This means that more Average selling rate means increasing cash.
This is something to be focused on from the beginning when you first start selling, as it becomes hard to change the Average Selling rate when you have around 1000 orders and AVG. Selling rate of about $15-$20.
I personally prefer something which I call “Order to earning ratio”, which is to have fewer orders but earn more. I have made $2000 with 70 reviews. If you set goals like these, you can become better at understanding and master the Fiverr Search Algorithm!
Pro Tips:
If you have regular clients, ask them if you can work for them for a while and get a combined order of either $50 or $100 so you can maintain a good Average Selling rate.
6. Stay online 24/7
You have to always be online so that even when buyers select “Active Sellers” in search, your Gig will be shown.
To stay online always, make sure to Install the Fiverr app on your Mobile and always stay online from there.
If you use your laptop to stay active then that would be more better, but make sure it’s always connected to internet. Using a Laptop for work seems more professional.
7. Become a Higher Level Seller
All Fiverr seller levels help promote your Gigs. Initially, you’ll be a New Seller. To become a Level One Seller, the important factor that comes in is you have to earn $400 in total. For becoming a Level Two Seller, the Net Earning should be $2000.
It takes usually 1-2 months to become a level one seller if you’re doing things right and about 4-5 months to become a level two seller. These depends upon your niche though, and how much you are earning.
When you become a higher level seller, buyers can trust you more and will hire you.
Pro Tips:
When your seller level changes, often times there is a drop in the earnings. I have experienced this and most of the people do, not sure if it’s a thing happening with everyone though. If you experience similar thing, just be patient and focus on quality work.
8. Promote your Gigs on Social Media
There comes a period when your Fiverr selling becomes way too low. This is because Fiverr wants you to spread the word. They want you to promote your service on Social Media.
This can be done by simply sharing it on your account. A better way would be go join groups about your niche and share it there. You can also help people anywhere online, and if they want to pay you give them your Fiverr Gig URL so they can place an order.
Pro Tips:
Create your own social presence by creating a Facebook, Instagram and Twitter page. By promoting the page, you can increase likes and share with a similar audience. You can even get hired by organizations or people on Facebook.
Focus on helping people on Social Media instead of just looking around for money.
9. Create multiple gigs in the same category
To increase your chances of being hired, you can make multiple Gigs in the same category but different subcategories. For example: In WordPress you can make two gigs: one for “Bug Fixing” and other for “WordPress Speed Optimization”.
Pro Tips:
Check what Gigs people of the same Niche as you are creating.
You can create even more than two gigs.
10. Complete Regular Orders
Make sure to get new orders not weekly, but daily. At first it may take time to get orders daily but you can make some good clients so you get some orders daily.
Pro Tips:
Contact Old buyers to ask if you have any new work and get new orders more often.
These tips can help out with ranking your Fiverr Gig if you do everything as explained. Don’t forget to check out 5 Steps to start making money through freelancing on Fiverr Just so you are not missing anything of these series of posts where I give Fiverr Tutorials to help you make more sales!
Before you leave…
Mistakes which I have made when ranking my Gig on Fiverr…
and you should avoid them!
Add the Gig Title correctly on the first time you create your Gig. Your URL will be different otherwise. Don’t edit your Gig Title once it’s created.
Don’t change Gig Image again and again. Make sure to do everything perfectly at once. Better have knowledge first and then start implementing at once.
(I haven’t done this one myself but…) Don’t ask for reviews from your buyers!
Don’t use the Fiverr App much, there are some features they still haven’t added yet. For Example: On Desktop version when you type “Email” in conversation, Fiverr shows you not to add that word. However on the App no such message is shown.
Please take your time to read all Fiverr’s Terms of Service. Most of the people are doing mistakes but don’t know about them and get their accounts deleted by Fiverr.
Please go through the Gigs and profile of other sellers in your Niche. Get a complete Idea of how people are doing things and then begin doing.
Outsourcing work is not a good idea on Fiverr. If you outsource a $5 job. Fiverr takes $1 from you, then the person who’s working will take half the price that is $2 and what you get is $2. Very slow earning process.
Don’t feel like “I can’t do this” because there are many Gigs in the same category and almost 60% of them are doing great because they do things the correct way.
Wake up at an ungodly hour. Drive to the office through total gridlock, streets jammed with other half-asleep commuters. Slog through email after mind-numbing email until the sweet release at five o’clock.
Sound terrible?
What if, instead of dealing with the monotony and stupor of the rat race to earn a few bucks, you could make money at any time, from anywhere — even while you sleep?
Affiliate marketing is a popular tactic to drive sales and generate significant online revenue. Extremely beneficial to both brands and affiliate marketers, the new push towards less traditional marketing tactics has paid off. In fact:
81% of brands and 84% of publishers leverage the power of affiliate marketing, a statistic that will continue to increase as affiliate marketing spending increases every year in the United States.
There is a 10.1% increase in affiliate marketing spending in the United States each year, meaning that by 2020, that number will reach $6.8 billion.
In 2018, content marketing costs were gauged to be 62% of traditional marketing schemes while simultaneously generating three times the leads of traditional methods. In fact, 16% of all orders made online can be attributed to the impact of affiliate marketing.
In March of 2017, Amazon’s affiliate structure changed, offering rates of 1-10% of product revenue for creators, providing the opportunity for affiliates to dramatically increase their passive income based on the vertical they’re selling on.
The affiliate marketing of Jason Stone, otherwise known as Millionaire Mentor, was responsible for as much as $7 million in retailer sales just in the months of June and July in 2017.

What Is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is the process by which an affiliate earns a commission for marketing another person’s or company’s products. The affiliate simply searches for a product they enjoy, then promotes that product and earns a piece of the profit from each sale they make. The sales are tracked via affiliate links from one website to another.

How Does Affiliate Marketing Work?
Because affiliate marketing works by spreading the responsibilities of product marketing and creation across parties, it manages to leverage the abilities of a variety of individuals for a more effective marketing strategy while providing contributors with a share of the profit. To make this work, three different parties must be involved:
Seller and product creators.
The affiliate or advertiser.
The consumer.
Let’s delve into the complex relationship these three parties share to ensure affiliate marketing is a success.
1. Seller and product creators.
The seller, whether a solo entrepreneur or large enterprise, is a vendor, merchant, product creator, or retailer with a product to market. The product can be a physical object, like household goods, or a service, like makeup tutorials.
Also known as the brand, the seller does not need to be actively involved in the marketing, but they may also be the advertiser and profit from the revenue sharing associated with affiliate marketing.
For example, the seller could be an ecommerce merchant that started a dropshipping business and wants to reach a new audience by paying affiliate websites to promote their products. Or the seller could be a SaaS company that leverages affiliates to help sell their marketing software.
2. The affiliate or publisher.
Also known as a publisher, the affiliate can be either an individual or a company that markets the seller’s product in an appealing way to potential consumers. In other words, the affiliate promotes the product to persuade consumers that it is valuable or beneficial to them and convince them to purchase the product. If the consumer does end up buying the product, the affiliate receives a portion of the revenue made.
Affiliates often have a very specific audience to whom they market, generally adhering to that audience’s interests. This creates a defined niche or personal brand that helps the affiliate attract consumers who will be most likely to act on the promotion.
3. The consumer.
Whether the consumer knows it or not, they (and their purchases) are the drivers of affiliate marketing. Affiliates share these products with them on social media, blogs, and websites.
When consumers buy the product, the seller and the affiliate share the profits. Sometimes the affiliate will choose to be upfront with the consumer by disclosing that they are receiving commission for the sales they make. Other times the consumer may be completely oblivious to the affiliate marketing infrastructure behind their purchase.
Either way, they will rarely pay more for the product purchased through affiliate marketing; the affiliate’s share of the profit is included in the retail price. The consumer will complete the purchase process and receive the product as normal, unaffected by the affiliate marketing system in which they are a significant part.
How Do Affiliate Marketers Get Paid?
A quick and inexpensive method of making money without the hassle of actually selling a product, affiliate marketing has an undeniable draw for those looking to increase their income online. But how does an affiliate get paid after linking the seller to the consumer?
The answer can get complicated.
The consumer doesn’t always need to buy the product for the affiliate to get a kickback. Depending on the program, the affiliate’s contribution to the seller’s sales will be measured differently.
The affiliate may get paid in various ways:
1. Pay per sale.
This is the standard affiliate marketing structure. In this program, the merchant pays the affiliate a percentage of the sale price of the product after the consumer purchases the product as a result of the affiliate’s marketing strategies. In other words, the affiliate must actually get the investor to invest in the product before they are compensated.
2. Pay per lead.
A more complex system, pay per lead affiliate programs compensates the affiliate based on the conversion of leads. The affiliate must persuade the consumer to visit the merchant’s website and complete the desired action — whether it’s filling out a contact form, signing up for a trial of a product, subscribing to a newsletter, or downloading software or files.
3. Pay per click.
This program focuses on incentivizing the affiliate to redirect consumers from their marketing platform to the merchant’s website. This means the affiliate must engage the consumer to the extent that they will move from the affiliate’s site to the merchant’s site. The affiliate is paid based on the increase in web traffic.

Why Be an Affiliate Marketer?
What are the reasons to become an affiliate marketer?
1. Passive income.
While any “regular” job requires you to be at work to make money, affiliate marketing offers you the ability to make money while you sleep. By investing an initial amount of time into a campaign, you will see continuous returns on that time as consumers purchase the product over the following days and weeks. You receive money for your work long after you’ve finished it. Even when you’re not in front of your computer, your marketing skills will be earning you a steady flow of income.
2. No customer support.
Individual sellers and companies offering products or services have to deal with their consumers and ensure they are satisfied with what they have purchased.
Thanks to the affiliate marketing structure, you’ll never have to be concerned with customer support or customer satisfaction. The entire job of the affiliate marketer is to link the seller with the consumer. The seller deals with any consumer complaints after you receive your commission from the sale.
3. Work from home.
If you’re someone who hates going to the office, affiliate marketing is the perfect solution. You’ll be able to launch campaigns and receive revenue from the products that sellers create while working from the comfort of your own home. This is a job you can do without ever getting out of your pajamas.
4. Cost-effective.
Most businesses require startup fees as well as a cash flow to finance the products being sold. However, affiliate marketing can be done at a low cost, meaning you can get started quickly and without much hassle. There are no affiliate program fees to worry about and no need to create a product. Beginning this line of work is relatively straightforward.
5. Convenient and flexible.
Since you’re essentially becoming a freelancer, you get ultimate independence in setting your own goals, redirecting your path when you feel so inclined, choosing the products that interest you, and even determining your own hours. This convenience means you can diversify your portfolio if you like or focus solely on simple and straightforward campaigns. You’ll also be free from company restrictions and regulations as well as ill-performing teams.
6. Performance-Based rewards.
With other jobs, you could work an 80-hour week and still earn the same salary. Affiliate marketing is purely based on your performance. You’ll get from it what you put into it. Honing your reviewing skills and writing engaging campaigns will translate to direct improvements in your revenue. You’ll finally get paid for the outstanding work you do!
7. Do Not Underestimate the Power of SEO.
There’s a ton of organic traffic you can get from search engines if you do SEO properly. The days when Search Engine Optimization was about cheating Google are gone. Today, it is about making your website better for visitors. People naturally look for information online. That’s why you should learn the basics of on-page SEO, keyword research and link building to be the information source they find first. Who wouldn’t want to rank #1 for terms such as “best product” or “product review” in Google?
Common Types of Affiliate Marketing Channels
Most affiliates share common practices to ensure that their audience is engaged and receptive to purchasing promoted products. But not all affiliates advertise the products in the same way. In fact, there are several different marketing channels they may leverage.
1. Influencers.
An influencer is an individual who holds the power to impact the purchasing decisions of a large segment of the population. This person is in a great position to benefit from affiliate marketing. They already boast an impressive following, so it’s easy for them to direct consumers to the seller’s products through social media posts, blogs, and other interactions with their followers. The influencers then receive a share of the profits they helped to create.
Influencer marketing campaigns are particularly popular on Instagram where brands partner with influencers who are seen as experts or authorities in their specific niches. Depending on the deal, a campaign could consist of a series of product reviews with photos, account takeovers, or live videos. While an influencer might have their own branding and aesthetic, it’s important to add elements that tie up with your brand to ensure brand recall and recognition. This can be achieved by using apps like Instasize where you can quickly edit and customize your campaign’s creatives in a tap.
With the ability to rank organically in search engine queries, bloggers excel at increasing a seller’s conversions. The blogger samples the product or service and then writes a comprehensive review that promotes the brand in a compelling way, driving traffic back to the seller’s site.
The blogger is awarded for his or her influence spreading the word about the value of the product, helping to improve the seller’s sales. For example, my article on the best email marketing software includes product reviews and affiliate links throughout.
3. Paid search focused microsites.
Developing and monetizing microsites can also garner a serious amount of sales. These sites are advertised within a partner site or on the sponsored listings of a search engine. They are distinct and separate from the organization’s main site. By offering more focused, relevant content to a specific audience, microsites lead to increased conversions due to their simple and straightforward call to action.
4. Email lists.
Despite its older origins, email marketing is still a viable source of affiliate marketing income. Some affiliates have email lists they can use to promote the seller’s products. Others may leverage email newsletters that include hyperlinks to products, earning a commission after the consumer purchases the product.
Another method is for the affiliate to build an email list over time. They use their various campaigns to collect emails en masse, then send out emails regarding the products they are promoting.
5. Large media websites.
Designed to create a huge amount of traffic at all times, these sites focus on building an audience of millions. These websites promote products to their massive audience through the use of banners and contextual affiliate links. This method offers superior exposure and improves conversion rates, resulting in a top-notch revenue for both the seller and the affiliate.
Tips to Help You Become A Successful Affiliate Marketer
1. Develop a rapport.
When beginning your affiliate marketing career, you’ll want to cultivate an audience that has very specific interests. This allows you to tailor your affiliate campaigns to that niche, increasing the likelihood that you’ll convert. By establishing yourself as an expert in one area instead of promoting a large array of products, you’ll be able to market to the people most likely to buy the product.
2. Make it personal.
There is no shortage of products you’ll be able to promote. You’ll have the ability to pick and choose products that you personally believe in, so make sure that your campaigns center around truly valuable products that consumers will enjoy. You’ll achieve an impressive conversion rate while simultaneously establishing the reliability of your personal brand.
You’ll also want to get really good at email outreach to work with other bloggers and influencers. Use a tool like ContactOut or Voila Norbert to gather people’s contact information and send personalized emails to garner guest blogging and affiliate opportunities.
3. Start reviewing products and services.
Focus on reviewing products and services that fall within your niche. Then, leveraging the rapport you have created with your audience and your stance as an expert, tell your readers why they would benefit from purchasing the product or service you are promoting. Almost anything sold online can be reviewed if there is an affiliate program – you can review physical products, digital software, or even services booked online, like ride-sharing or travel resort booking. It is especially effective to compare this product to others in the same category. Most importantly, make sure you are generating detailed, articulate content to improve conversions.
4. Use several sources.
Instead of focusing on just an email campaign, also spend time making money with a blog, reaching out to your audience on social media, and even looking into cross-channel promotions.
Test a variety of marketing strategies to see which one your audience responds to the most. Make frequent use of this technique.
For more information, you can check out this article on how to start a successful blog this year.
5. Choose campaigns with care.
No matter how good your marketing skills are, you’ll make less money on a bad product than you will on a valuable one. Take the time to study the demand for a product before promoting it. Make sure to research the seller with care before teaming up. Your time is worth a lot, and you want to be sure you’re spending it on a product that is profitable and a seller you can believe in.
6. Stay current with trends.
There is serious competition in the affiliate marketing sphere. You’ll want to make sure you stay on top of any new trends to ensure you remain competitive. Additionally, you’ll likely be able to benefit from at least a few of the new marketing techniques that are constantly being created. Be sure you’re keeping up to date on all these new strategies to guarantee that your conversion rates, and therefore revenue, will be as high as possible.
What are the Top Affiliate Marketing Trends of 2020?
1. Improved affiliate reporting and attribution.
Many affiliate programs run with last-click attribution, where the affiliate receiving the last click before the sale gets 100% credit for the conversion. This is changing. With affiliate platforms providing new attribution models and reporting features, you are able to see a full-funnel, cross-channel view of how individual marketing tactics are working together.
For example, you might see that a paid social campaign generated the first click, Affiliate X got click 2, and Affiliate Y got the last click. With this full picture, you can structure your affiliate commissions so that Affiliate X gets a percentage of the credit for the sale, even though they didn’t get the last click.
2. Influencer niches are becoming hyper-targeted.
In the past, large affiliates were the mainstay, as catch-all coupons and media sites gave traffic to hundreds or thousands of advertisers. This is not so much the case anymore. With consumers using long-tail keywords and searching for very specific products and services, influencers can leverage their hyper-focused niche for affiliate marketing success. Influencers may not send advertisers huge amounts of traffic, but the audience they do send is credible, targeted, and has higher conversion rates.
3. GDPR is changing how personal data is collected.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which took effect on May 25, 2018, is a set of regulations governing the use of personal data across the EU. This is forcing some affiliates to obtain user data through opt-in consent (updated privacy policies and cookie notices), even if they are not located in the European Union. This new regulation should also remind you to follow FTC guidelines and clearly disclose that you receive affiliate commissions from your recommendations.
4. Affiliate marketers are getting smarter.
Merchants receiving a large percentage of their revenue from the affiliate channel can become reliant on their affiliate partners. This can lead to affiliate marketers leveraging their important status to receive higher commissions and better deals with their advertisers. Whether it’s CPA, CPL, or CPC commission structures, there are a lot of high paying affiliate programs and affiliate marketers are in the driver’s seat.
What Affiliate Marketing Strategies Should You Employ in 2020?
1. Only recommend products you are extremely familiar with.
Building trust with your audience is paramount in affiliate marketing, and the quickest way to lose trust is to recommend products either you haven’t used before or that aren’t a good fit for your audience. Also make sure you never tell anyone to directly buy a product, you are simply recommending the product. The more helpful you are and the more you make quality recommendations, the more likely your web visitors will come back for your expertise.
2. Promote products from many different merchants.
Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. If you only promote one merchant’s products, you are stuck with their commissions, their landing pages, and ultimately, their conversion rates. It is important to work with many different merchants in your niche and promote a wide range of products.
This affiliate marketing strategy will diversify the number of commissions you make and create a steady stream of revenue when building an affiliate website. Some examples of affiliate merchants include brands like BigCommerce, Bluehost, and SimplyBook.me.
3. Constantly test and optimize your conversion rates.
Let’s say you have a promotions page where you’re promoting a product via affiliate links. If you currently get 5,000 visits/month at a 2% conversion rate, you have 100 referrals. To get to 200 referrals, you can either focus on getting 5,000 more visitors or simply increasing the conversion rate to 4%.
Which sounds easier? Instead of spending months building Domain Authority with blogging and guest posts to get more organic traffic, you just have to increase the conversion rate by 2%. This can include landing page optimization, testing your calls-to-action, and having a conversion rate optimization strategy in place. By testing and optimizing your site, you’ll get far better results with much less effort.
4. Focus on your affiliate traffic sources.
It’s important to know where your traffic is coming from and the demographics of your audience. This will allow you to customize your messaging so that you can provide the best affiliate product recommendations. You shouldn’t just focus on the vertical you’re in, but on the traffic sources and audience that’s visiting your site. Traffic sources may include organic, paid, social media, referral, display, email, or direct traffic.
You can view traffic source data in Google Analytics to view things such as time on page, bounce rate, geo location, age, gender, time of day, devices (mobile vs. desktop), and more so that you can focus your effort on the highest converting traffic. This analytics data is crucial to making informed decisions, increasing your conversion rates, and making more affiliate sales.

Today, i have list 57 tips can help you increase sales on Fiverr.com.
1. Frequency of Sale Per Day
Keep your frequency of sale per day standard, if it drops for consecutive days, you need to push the sales and keep the balance.
This will help you get a better positioning in Fiverr’s SERP’s.
If not, Fiverr algorithm might push you down! So consistent is the key.
Tip: Contact old buyers to ask if they have any new work and create a template message, so you can shoot to multiple buyers. Saves time and make it consistent
2. Number of Reviews
3. Positive Review:
4. Completing Orders:
5. Cancellation Rate:
6. Less Customer Support:
7. One Day Fast Delivery
8. Conversion Rate
9. Response Rate with Good Customer Service
The number of reviews you earned per day against other gigs, help you to push your gig on the first page.
So, review is important once you complete the order.
But don’t directly ask review as Fiverr doesn’t like it! So, ask in an indirect way.
Example: I would like you to send your feedback for this order, it helps me to grown in Fiverr. Also, I would be happy to know that you are satisfied with my service. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Have a great day！
You get a review is good. But, if you want to rank better, it should be a positive review. Negative review is bad and it will provide a negative impact in your Gig sales.
Give great service to your buyers and win a positive review each time. This is crucial in your beginning stages.
Complete your orders. I mean all the orders whatever comes your way. So, make sure you take the gigs seriously, if you think you can’t do some service that you are not suitable for, better remove those gigs.
If you have less completed orders or canceled orders, it will bring a negative impact on your gig. In other words, you will have less order. So, completing the order determines your gig health.
Cancellation rate is another ranking factor for your gig. Don’t try to get in to cancellation phase. Have a clear communication with your buyers. So, you don’t need to jump in to cancellation.
Offer service, that you can handle. Over promising, will leads to cancellation. Cancellation will reduce your Gig ranking.
Try to avoid dispute from the buyers, solve it yourself. Best case is to avoid dispute at all cost. If you however end up with dispute, don’t approach customer support immediately, as this will hurt your gig health.
Solve it directly with buyers. Fiverr customer support should be very least used.
Fiverr algorithm likes fast deliveries. Many new sellers, rise in the rank faster, if they crank out deliveries quickly.
It’s a good practice to set your delivery time for 24 hours.
This allows your gig to stand out, and it put you in the category of express delivery when buyers are sorting by delivery time. It is super useful when you are starting out in Fiverr.
It also helps you with boosting your rank and impression.
If you get 8 orders today and manage to deliver 4 of them same-day, it will increase your gig ranking and also deliver gig always on time.
Tips: Most buyers prefer a fast delivery of their requests. They will search for sellers with good reviews and faster turnaround.
A gig that gets lots of view counts but doesn’t have a sale is useless to fiverr algorithm. A gig that “converts” to sales is attractive to Fiverr and get ranked higher.
When the buyer contacts you, try to answer the questions and try your best to convert it to sales!
So, even if you have lower views, it’s okay. You can promote it. But higher views and no sales is super bad in Fiverr algorithm.
If you see more views and less conversion you are doing something wrong or missing some important thing.
Tips: When buyer send a message, start to answer question sooner and send the custom order right away. This pushes buyer to place the order. Don’t delay!
Response rate is very important to climb up. Not only quick response shows your interest in the project and also bring positive effect to your Gig ranking.
Reply faster using quick template messages stating that you will be back in X number of hours.
Good customer service is a key factor along with the response rate. Good customer service not only create new buyers but also it helps to turn new buyers to returning buyers. Also, it can help buyers to leave a positive review.
10. Refunds and Negative Feedback
Well this is a very bad situation.
But it happens.
Now, there are some buyers who might leave a negative or unfair review.
Try to contact with your client and solve it immediately. If nothings work out, accept it and try to bring more sales.
If you are a newbie in Fiverr the negative reviews will affect your ranking in Fiverr a lot and will affect you to get sales.
Once you start getting hundreds of reviews, it doesn’t hurt much.
Fiverr Customer support might help you to remove negative review after refund, it used to be the case earlier. From 2017, Fiverr changed this case, it cannot help you much with reviews.
Tip: It is better to refund if things got worse, don’t try to fight with the buyer, try to talk to your client and don’t let them leave you negative feedback. Always remember buyer wins in Fiverr! Simple as that, I learned this very hard way. With that being said, not all buyers are bad. Just a few of them are bad.
11. Average Selling Rate
An average selling rate is the average amount of earning you have with your orders.
If you have your orders over $100 consistently without having any orders in between that number, then your average selling rate will be $100.
Fiverr search shows buyers Gigs based on their budget, so buyers when they choose the budget your gig will show up. This is because your average selling rate matches with the budget.
You need to focus on this from your beginning days as when you first start selling, this is because, it becomes hard to change the Average Selling rate when you have around 100 orders.
Tips: If you have a buyer who orders frequently from you, request him to buy a bundled order and this will increase your average selling rate
12. On Time
You must to make sure your Gig delivery time is aligned with the capacity of work they can handle.
Because if you deliver the order late, no matter how long you are late delivering, the Fiverr will reduce your delivery rate.
13. Order to Earning Proportion
You can have few orders but with good price point. You need to set a goal like, Earning $1,000 with 30 Reviews.
This is the best way to reach a consistent order and the Fiverr search algorithm will start liking you!
So, this specific Earning proportion goal, you can customize based on your preference.
It helps you during your beginning or growing stage in Fiverr.
14. Seller Levels
Seller levels helps to promote your gigs. You start as a new seller and you need to reach your first goal as Level one seller.
Save
You need to have $400 for level one seller and once you cross $2,000 you become level 2 seller.
Try to first complete 10 orders and earn your level 1 badge as sooner as you can. Once you become level 1 seller, it would be easier to transition to level 2 seller.
If you become level 2 seller, it would bring you more orders and trust from buyers!
Tips: It usually take about 1 month to reach level 1 seller. To achieve this, you need to spend more of your energy to get your 1 -3 order, it can be from outside fiverr or even from your friends!
15. Gig Description
You need to add keyword in your description and it should be in the first few lines of your paragraph.
Gig should also be optimized for Fiverr SEO way, so it can be indexed better.
Save
Tips: Add your keyword twice in your description. Don’t force it make is natural.
16. URL
URL of your Gig will be auto-generated by fiverr and it cannot be changed later.
So, make sure to write the correct Keywords in your Gig Tile. URL will be generated from the Gig Title.
Setting up a profile with a detailed-oriented aspect is important.
Write your bio in a simple and straight forward way. Most buyers usually read the profile before making a choice to buy your gig.
This space explains about you. In the Profile description, explain your niche and few lines about things you enjoy. It makes you more approachable.
Connect your social media to your profile, it helps to increase your credibility
Save
Tips: Find some best profile in your niche and get ideas to put your service. Make sure you add your own thoughts to spice things up. In the last lines, explain something you really enjoy, make it a more human conversation. Don’t just shove your service in the complete profile section!
19. Grammar and Spelling
Proper grammar and spelling is a quality signal, especially you are offering some service relate to language.
it is also will affect customer find you in Fiverr service list.
20. Complete Account
Make sure you fill up all the sections in the profile and in your gig sections. Upload videos, Images and related PDF as many as your gig allows.
Fill out all the information. It should be 100% completed.
More relevant stuff you add to your, more “complete” your gig appears to the buyer. It helps in better sales!
This also helps you with Fiverr indexing.
Incomplete profile will raise a credibility issues to buyers! Don’t take a chance.
Save
21. Stealing or Hijacking Accounts
Copying profile from other sellers is very bad and it could not bring any benefits. It will hurt your account badly and also result in punishments.
Also, if you cannot deliver the same quality as the original seller, easily buyers will notice it and will start posting negative reviews and this could be disaster and not totally worth it.
This will affect your Gig ranking to a significant level and later even if you tried to recover, it will be super difficult.
It is plain waste of time. So, don’t bother doing it.
22. Fiverr Active Index
If you don’t get any new messages from buyer or orders, it could be probably that Fiverr search index filtered your gig with less hits.
It is always better to change or edit your gig description if there is not much of luck.
Do some activity in Fiverr. It helps with active indexing. Don’t keep your account idle.
Pro Tips: Check the first 5 popular gigs in your niche and then try to setup your gig-based on that. Make sure to keep an eye on the Fiverr first 5 popular gigs at least once a week.
23. Stay Online
Remember, working through Fiverr means you need to treat this like a professional job.
Stay online whenever you start your work, same like when you are in office, you make sure you start and finish your job on a specific time as scheduled.
Apply this to your Fiverr account as well.
Once you start working, open your Fiverr app or website and keep it online, read messages and respond on time.
If you are online, it appears in your profile and buyers will also be notified that you are online.
More you stay online while working, help you to bring more businesses and buyers will contact online sellers as they can get quick response.
Pro Tips: Staying online increases your conversion rate better. As you respond fast, send the custom quotation and buyer can quickly make decision and accept your offer!
24. Gig Title (SEO Optimized)
If you want to rank well in Fiverr, you must have fully optimized Gig Title, that has proper keywords and SEO friendly Title.
Mostly, Fiverr pick the Gig that has great SEO optimized title and you get better chance to raise up in the rank.
Pro Tips: Don’t Overcrowd Keywords. Try to rank for one keyword better compared to multiple keywords.
25. Increase Gig Statistics
Increasing Gig impression is super important it helps you to rank faster and climb up to first page. Pay attention to it when you create new Gig or Keywords.
Tips: Stats are like quick boosts in Fiverr. Whenever you see a drop in Stats. It means time for you to boost it. Check it regularly. I recommend at least every 30 days once!
You can search better Tags (Keywords) for your gig based on your competitor and Fiverr allow you to add up to 5 Tags.
Tags are very important fundamental element of your Ranking Factor.
Tags, helps you with better impressions and Gig Ranking. If you have good Tags, it will help you to increase your visibility in Fiverr.
Tips: Don’t change your Tags often, you will want to change one at a time to keep the variable down, and then see how your impression change over the course of 30 days before making another change.
27. Gig Specific Bonuses
Boost Client Orders: Instead of creating bonuses that are order specific, you can create bonuses that are gig specific.
Let’s see this with an example: I have a logo gig, offering clients 1 logo concept for $30.
Which Bonus would be better solution?
Option Bonus 01: An Extra logo concept on every order.
Option Bonus 02: A video showing how to edit one of my logos
Options Bonus 01 is good, but not practical and time-consuming.
Options Bonus 02 can be easily recycled for each and every order without much additional time. More like a passive delivery!
This is how you need to focus your bonuses.
It helps with repeated orders and good reviews! Buyers think they get more for their orders.
Win – Win Approach. It boosts your Gig impression and Reviews.
Tips: More bonuses can be provided to repeated or loyal buyers. This make them special and always say to them that you provide this additional service to only selected buyers. Make them special!
28. Gig Chunks
Don’t offer a complete feature in one go.
Break your gig in to pieces and let the client choose the features that they want. If they want complete features, they can pay for all.
Break the gigs in to individual components depending upon the time you invest on creating it. This will help you to push gig extras and earn higher revenue.
Buyers can pick based on their appetite.
Provided Choices! It lets you earn more!
Let’s see this by an example:
If you are selling 2D artworks with characters and Background. You can break it in to features/Pieces and charge accordingly.
Black line – art (Busty Only)
Black line – art (Full Body)
Flat Color
Detailed Color
Simple Background
Complex Background
Commercial Use
Source Files
You can pretty much get an idea. Get Creative add more choices/Flavors to your Gigs.
This helps you with repeated purchase orders and will help you with better gig ranking.
29. First Order – High Priority
If you are new to Fiverr and just starting up. Your full focus should be on getting your first client and first order as soon as possible.
You can ask one of your friends to buy your gig and write a good review for you! As this will help you to rank better and start getting new orders from buyers.
Make sure you do it in next 24 – 48 hours from the day of joining Fiverr as your Fiverr ranking system will keep you in the first or second page in your gig category under new comer’s section.
Once you get your first order during this time, you get a good chance to climb up the ladder! So get your order immediately.
Tips: You can try to promote your Gig externally and focus your energy for marketing on the first few months.
30. Saved Gigs
Managing Bookmarks: Fiverr allows buyers to save gigs that they like by adding them to their saved gigs.
If many buyers save your gigs, it means you are getting attention and increase in impressions. This will help you with more click and view counts.
Tips: If there is more Saved Gigs happening in your gigs, it means more attention. Try to convert it to sales, by providing some flashing discounts or some gig extras!
31. Video-Flying Gig – Extreme Boost

Recommended Format is MP4 file format. Length of the video should around 55 seconds or less. Size less than 50 MB.
Tips: Keep your video interesting and to the point. Don’t add all your works. Only add the best of best. Short and interesting.

This is something that is overly underrated in Fiver. It is called as referral marketing.
If you already have a buyer who gave you 5 star reviews and love your service.
They know your service, and if they recommend your gig to their friends and colleagues. It would bring you way more orders that you could think of.
All you need to do is a little nudge or incentive to actually ask them to help you by bringing more buyers from their circle.

It increases your reviews and impressions! Not just that, your orders will increase.
33. Response Time Rate Indicator
It tracks a seller’s first response to a new request.
Also, it is important to continue responding to buyers until a conversation has concluded, later messages are not a factor in the overall response rate.
Response Rate indicator last 60 days of seller’s activity.
Responsiveness influences the traffic that sellers receive, it is a must that sellers need to keep a good response time and rate.
Tips: Create a template message (Quick Response Message) and send it once you receive messages from buyers. It helps you with higher response rate and convert it to sales as soon as you can. Helps you with increased traffic in Fiverr.
34. Sales Drop After Gig Update
Don’t try to often change description, tags and title of your gig. It will have a significant impact in your sales.
Fiverr uses algorithm based on various key factors in your gig for driving traffic and sales.
If you try to change the gig keywords often, you can see drop in your impression and in sales rate.
Do it only if your gig is not performing well and test it with your under performing gig. Don’t try to change if often without any valid reason.
Tips: Check your Gig Performance and if you see a drop-in sale, then you can try to edit one thing at a time and see how it performs. Don’t try to change everything in your gig at once. It will have a negative impact.
35. Healthy Profile Traffic
Keep your account healthy. It is recommended to get fresh and new traffic from organic Fiverr search system.
Maintain Order completion, Response Rate and Delivered on time at 100% if not, at least 90%. Otherwise, you will have a negative impact on your sales.
It drops your impression and traffic index.
Tips: Use automated templates for quick messaging. If you want extension for delivery, notify buyer and extend your submission time. This will help you to maintain healthy account.
36. Good Customer Service
All the Buyers like good customer service from the seller. And good customer service not only can make a new client be your remain client but also can get a positive review.
Don’t try to fight with your client, because you cannot win, the only result you will get is lost client and get one negative review.
Try your best to provide better quality work on time.
Don’t assume things and waste buyers’ time. If you have a question, ask the buyer don’t hesitate to ask! Collaboration with the buyer makes the work better!
37. Detailed Reviews
If you get a review from your buyers, immediately reply to the review.
Make sure to write unique response and add your keyword in that review. Don’t force it, make it natural. It helps in Fiverr ranking to certain degree.
Most buyer, read reviews before contacting or purchasing your gig. So, if you reply to reviews, it shows your engagement and more chances to attract new buyers!
At least during your growing stage of business.
Tip: Write a reply in an honest and attractive way. Don’t just simply type a reply “Thanks for your order!” Write a few lines which explain your experience with the seller. Keep in mind the new buyers read the reviews before they place the order!
38. Viral or Trend Traffic
This is one of the best ways to get traffic to your gig in good volume. When there is something going around in viral, usually buyers will use that keyword to search for gigs.
You can use this chance to get more orders. Create gig based on this viral trend and spice up your gig.
If you are a logo designer, you can check the style of gig that is viral or trendy for that specific year, create your gig based on that with your unique style. New age geometry and elevated negative space style logo is hot in 2019.
If you are providing any other service, you can use the above example and apply it to your expertise area. Just get creative and keep your eye open to the trend.
Tips: Check out recent trend that is going around in social media and other news channels. Stay updated!
39. File Name Key Word Boost
Include your keyword in the filename for the image on your Fiverr Gig.
When you upload images to your gig, the name of the file is very important. If you upload an image with the file name “IMG542.JPG” – It is useless.
If you change the file name and use relevant keyword, then this will be recognized by the algorithm on Fiverr.
Example: “Your Fiverr Name Sports Logo 01”
Simple and effective.

Keep your basic package at lower price. It is very important that many buyers look for cheaper cost, this will get many buyers to click your gig.
So have a low-priced package in your gig, this will bring buyers to your gig and during the process, they might later upgrade to your premium packages.

To increase the rate of being hired, you can create multiple gigs in the same category. But make sure with different sub categories.
For instance: In Logo design you can create two gigs: One for “Quick Editing Logo” and another one “Custom Logo Creation”.
This helps you with the search indexing.

Tip: Spend at least 2 days a week (Weekend or when you have a dry spell with fiverr) to go to various Forums and Blogs to engage with buyers and send your link there. Facebook Pages related to your service is a good way to find buyers.
46. Quick Boost to Reach the First Page
Positive reviews help boosting your gig super-fast! Try creating a simple gig for $5. It can sell very fast and proven in Fiverr for many years!
Put some extra hours to get some positive reviews though $5 is practically nothing. But you need this to reach level 2 faster.
Not just that, micro-pay format helps buyers to take quick decision. Since you are not an experienced seller, high tickets might not work in your favor!
Pro Tips: Until you reach level 2 seller. Work on quick $5 gigs, so you can accumulate multiple positive reviews and can climb faster in the Fiverr indexing system.
47. Fiverr Spam Flagging System
Save
Make sure to check messages on Fiverr website or App. Don’t rely on notification or email.
Fiverr sometime mark messages as spam, so you might not get a notification from buyers and there is a chance of losing some clients. This is because, fiverr system sometime accidentally flag messages as spam and you won’t be notified!
So, only way is to check your messages on the Fiverr website to see any flagged messages and if you think it is not a spam, unflag and continue the business with the buyer.
Tips: If you don’t respond to auto spammed messages, it will not affect your response rate. However, it is better to check your messages often. Check Spam Folder inbox in fiverr website. So, you don’t lose some buyers!
48. New Clients Messages
When new buyers messaged you, make sure to answer in a template way. This is very important in your initial stage until you reach level 2 seller.

If you place the order in next 12 hours, I can completely provide this revision for Free. Check out my previous works here: … If you have any question, feel free to ask.
Faster conversation and converting it to sales boost your ranking!
Tips: Most buyers Simply Type Hi or Hello and wait for your response. So, just don’t simply type Hi or Hello and then wait back again. Use template messages as it would be efficient and faster.
49. Ads Boosting
Ads boosting is important to get more exposure and traffic. You can pick any budget that you prefer. Choose one set of keywords, don’t try to use many keywords.
For better keywords, use google search and see ADS in the first page. Copy those ads word-for-word and edit them to be relevant to your keywords and listing.
You can run the Ads campaign in Google and Facebook. Both of these platforms bring good amount of traffic and it helps Fiverr search index hits!
Treat this like a gambling. So, play with small numbers in the beginning. It is not super important, but if you need that extra push for your gig, this would help!

51. Social Media Gig Promotion
Social media gig promotion helps you to increase your traffic in Fiverr. You can share your gig in social media sites, such as Facebook, YouTube and other social media platforms.
This helps not only to create traffic, but also you get a chance to reach potential buyers. This will also boost your gig visibility in Fiverr system.
Don’t just share your gig link. No one really care about your gig.
Create a content that would interest buyers. Videos should be interesting and creative.
Tips: Video that you create for YouTube should not be boring, create an interesting and creative video that attracts viewers and put your gig link in the description. Don’t shove your service to viewers, people hate sales video.

53. Writing Blog Posts
This is one of the best ways to promote your Gig outside Fiverr and to bring traffic. This will also help you with increased impressions.
One of the best and effective way to promote your Fiverr gig is to create content around your service and write blog posts related to it.
Use twitter, to promote your posts.
However, if you don’t have time or patience, post tweets with links to informative and interesting articles related to your service.
Use Buffer to schedule tweets to your posts (or articles) in advance, and keep them consistent and relevant.
54. Category Search
let’s assume buyers need logo. They will go to logo design category. Fiverr will show gigs which are only performing well. If your account statistics is good, then Fiverr will show your gig with better ranking.
You can also see the search filter option. If you targeting new buyers, then you have to rank better in bestselling filter. As best-selling filter is selected by default in Fiverr.
If you target experienced buyers (have already ordered at least one gig in Fiverr) then in this case, you have to rank your gig in recommended filter search result page.
Tips: If you are a new seller, I would recommend to use Keyword Search. You can use Buyer Request page, to get some orders if you are totally new to fiverr and if you don’t have even one order or review.
55. Keyword Search
Let’s say, you have created a gig for mascot logo, you have added “logo design” in your category. You can pick up Mascot/Cartoon Design in your sub category. This will help you with boost in ranking keyword.
Make sure, you add the seed key word Mascot Logo, in your description, Title, Tags and in FAQ. It helps in better search index and ranking. Click here to read about how to setup your Gig for SEO optimization.
However, if you are doing general logo design, then you don’t need to specify Mascot/Cartoon. This means as long as buyer type Logo in the search box, your gig might show up.
If Buyer Type Mascot logo in the search box, you have already mentioned “mascot logo” in your gig, you have a high chance to come up top in the category.
Tips: When you are a new seller in Fiverr. Don’t try to rank for hot keywords such as “logo” it would be too high competition. So, try to pick some specific styles like “3D” or “Mascot” and try to rank for it. You will have a better chance. You can easily rank in the first page. Make sure to search the competition in each style and pick your choice.
56. Stick to Loyal Customers or Repeated Buyers
Provide services that helps you get loyal customers.
Loyal customers are like repeated customers and they will help you with impressions and gig boost in Fiverr system. Not just that, you can count on them even if you don’t get any new orders
They not only provide you with Feedback, ratings and reviews which helps with your Fiverr boosting. This will help you to get new buyers and traffic to your gig.
During your dry time, existing and loyal buyers, keep you warm!
Tips: If you have repeated buyers, often greet them during the seasonal time and keep in touch with them. It helps you to build a stronger relationship. Also, when you create new gigs, share it with them. Build a strong bond.
57. High Value Package to Increase Revenue
If you don’t have high package gig, it means you’re leaving money on the table.
High Value package means the expensive package in your offer. Let’s say you have 3 price Gig Packages, $10, $30 and $80. $80 package will be your expensive or high value package.
The opportunity for the buyers to spend on your product, simply by offering them with choices.
Though most go for the standard or middle option. There will be some, who always go for expensive option.
