Want To Earn Money On Fiverr? Avoid These 6 Mistakes
It is perhaps not going to be surprising to know that Fiverr is
an online market place that has raised countless number of
Internet millionaires.
Ordinarily, the mere thought of offering your skill as a service
for $5 may seem discouraging but the truth is that; most of
us don't even accept $5 deals yet there are others begging
and wishing for those $5 deals.
Your curiosity should be what the difference between these
two categories of "Fiverrians" is. It all depends on the level of
professionalism applied. But I won't want to go into that right
now because the aim of this post is to identify some
mistakes people make with Fiverr and consequently earn
nothing.
Ready to kill it? Let's dig it!
1. Not seeing Fiverr as a business
This is the biggest error anyone could make. Though fiverr
may seem like a personal stuff (like where the title of a gig
normally begins with "I WILL...") but in the core reality of it,
Fiverr is a serious business.
To make good money on fiverr you must treat your fiverr
profile the way you treat your business.
You must talk to your buyers like an experienced customer
care rep when they message you instead of talking to them
as if you are chatting with your Facebook friends. You must
use formal tones and correct spellings so as to keep your
buyers coming back.
2. Promising what you can't deliver
A perfect instance where people err on this is in terms of
DELIVERY TIME.
Fiverr would never penalize you for setting 10 days as your
delivery time for a simple flier design (provided your buyers
are cool with it). But setting 24 hours as your delivery time
and eventually delivering latter than that will affect your
rating.
This explains why you would hear people say "I was getting
orders but it suddenly stopped."
3. Being too scared of your buyers
I have said that Fiverr should be seen as a business. And
ordinarily, you shouldn't be afraid of your customers as to
letting them abuse your business. Be free to let them know
your terms of service. And don't sound like a desperate seller.
4. Making silly mistakes
Fact is ; Nigerians and citizens of other countries are creating
their fiverr accounts under the US flag.
If you don't then you may not make much sales (at least from
my experience). However, some sellers tend to forget what
they have done and would respond wrongly to buyers
especially if it involves making excuses.
Take for example a situation where you were unable to deliver
an order on time and went ahead to tell your buyer (perhaps
from USA) that you couldn't deliver on time because you
didn't have light for days or due to poor network in your
village. That's funny but some do that...lol
Another error under this point would be not sounding like a
native of bilingual as stated in your profile. Your buyers would
be quick to notice that. So study their speech or writing
pattern.
5. Staying offline
I have always told my students that a major key for success
on Fiverr is staying online at the right moment. No matter how
professional you may think you are, buyers often send
messages to those who are online.
Each time I have less orders on queue I get new orders by
simply logging in and doing other stuff on a separate tab.
6. Setting security questions
If you are going to be faking your profile then I recommend
you skip Fiverr's security question. That feature may look
useful but it's actually a trap.
If fiverr noticed a mix up in your IP address (perhaps because
you forgot to switch on your VPN) they would most probably
reset the answer to your security question. The aim is to
make you contact customer support and when you do, they
would request your true identity. By then, deportation is
sure.lol
It's my hope that these tips would help you thrive in your
fiverr business. So let's go killing guys!
Any addition or subtraction?
