How do I get more Fiverr gig orders?



Iā€™m calling it ā€œThe Freelancer Success Loop.ā€
You see, many freelancers, especially beginners, think all they need to do to have a successful work-from-home business is to set up a profile, apply to as many jobs as they can and cross their fingers they get lucky. Thatā€™s it.
But it takes more than that! And Iā€™m not just talking about having the right attitude - the determination, patience, perseverance or commitment required.
Iā€™m talking about real variables that only very few elite freelancers knowā€¦ small things that set them apart from average freelancers.
A good understanding of these elements (and sub-elements) contributes greatly to your freelancing success or failure. You can also read this article : How do I get more Fiverr gig orders?
In order for you to achieve freelancer success, you need to nail each element in the loop!
Here are the elements:
FREELANCING SUCCESS EQUALS...
Building a Profile that Stands Out + Finding Jobs Worth Applying to + Submitting Winning Proposals + Nailing Your Interviews + Delivering Great Work
Consider the following scenarios:
  • If you don't build a profile that stands out, you'll get no client- or recruiter-initiated job offers, and consequently, no jobs.
  • If you don't know how to find jobs worth applying to, you'll end up applying to spams or end up with clients looking for cheap labor.
  • If you don't know how to submit winning proposals, you'll end up applying to a lot of jobs and never hear back from clients.
  • If you don't know how to nail your interviews, you'll never get hired. You'll get a lot of interviews but end up with no jobs.
  • If you don't deliver great work, you'll get poor client feedback. This is reflected in your profile and affects your overall success.
Each element is composed of sub-elements.
Building a Profile that Stands Out
  • Finding Your Niche
  • Using the Right Photo
  • Crafting the Perfect Overview
  • Taking Relevant Tests
  • Building Your Portfolio

A good understanding of these elements (and sub-elements) are what set elite freelancers apart from average freelancers.
Investing time to learn these concepts is determines whether you succeed as a freelancer or not.
