Is it easy to get clients on fiverr?
The true answer to this question is it depends on how you approach the whole process, I’ve seen someone that got his first freelance job on fiverr in less than 2 weeks of creating his sellar account, so it is hard to decide whether it is hard or easy.
I’ve also seen someone that waited months after months of creating his fiverr sellar account without getting a single order.
This is not a matter of luck, it is a matter approach, the two of these freelancers started in different ways
The first guy did everything right and the second guy didn’t, that’s the reason of them getting different results.
How to create sellar account on fiverr
To create a fiverr sellar account, you need to create a normal fiverr account first, then inside of the normal account you can tap on the menu icon and click become a sellar to start creating your fiverr sellar account.
I’ve covered this topic completely in one of my recent guides about freelancing, you can check it out by reading how to create a professional fiverr sellar account.
How to make your first dollar on fiverr as a freelance writer
1. Promote your gigs on social media and your website
One of the biggest mistakes freelancers make is by creating a gig and then not promoting it, even professional freelancers promote their gigs.
promoting your gigs will cast your gig in front of many potential clients, their are millions of clients using social media, if you promote your gigs on there, you’ll stand a chance of getting them to hire you.
Since you’re a freelance writer, you’re more likely to be hired by bloggers and SEOs, so if you’re looking to promote your gigs on social media, get connected with bloggers and SEOs in their groups and start interacting in the group.
Send friend request to some people if possible and keep posting relevant stuffs on your social media, this will give you a high chance of being seen and hired by them.
There are many social media platforms out there, create account on as many as possible and connect with bloggers and SEOs.
then you’ll also need to promote your gig on your blog or website, I always advise beginner freelancers to create a website, it is not expensive, you can create your website using WordPress or blogger and it will take your less than an hour to do, and if you don’t want to go through the stress of creating a website by yourself, you can always hire someone to do it for you.
2. Be active on LinkedIn and Twitter
LinkedIn is not just a social media, it is a social media for business owners and freelancers, just in case you don’t know, almost every blogger and SEO have a LinkedIn account
and they are also active on it, so if you don’t have an account on LinkedIn in yet, go now and create a free account, don’t just create it and leave it, interact with the platform and get connected with potential people.
This will help you a lot.
3. Setup your profile correctly
The biggest mistake you’ll ever make is setting your sellar account the wrong way, if you want to get hired fast as a freelance writer, make sure your account is correctly setup with a very clear picture, a good bio, and also make sure you have a website attached to your account.
whenever a client is interested in a gig, the first thing they do is check out the profile of the freelancer before they order that gig from the Freelancer.
and if your fiverr sellar account is wrongly setup, trust me, you’ll barely get any order, so take your time and setup your profile, if you need some tips on setting up your fiverr sellar account, read this guide.
4. Make your gigs cheaper
Another mistake that beginners make is by setting a price that’s too high for their standards, if nobody have hired you yet, charge less amount and after getting a few orders you can increase your price.
For example, if you’re planning on setting a $30 price on your gig, first charge $5 to $10 and then after getting two to three orders and good reviews, you can then increase the price.
5. Optimize our gigs for search engines
There’s no doubt that fiver gigs appear on search engines, and if you can learn a little about SEO, then you can easily optimize your gigs to appear on search engines.
This will increase your chances of getting hired, imagine someone searching for “Freelance writer” then came across your Fiverr gig, that’s the power of optimizing your fiverr gigs.
Conclusion
