Caution to Entrepreneurs With so many layoffs of highly skilled people there is no doubt many may start their own businesses. I want to give a warning as you make choices on how you pull your businesses identity together. With every creative piece of your brand, marketing collateral please read all the Terms and Conditions when choosing vendors or applications. As an Example I am on the Board of a nonprofit and I am looking into logo creation for the organization. Several people have recommended Fiverr. It is so easy, looks like a great opportunity to get a cheap logo. HOWEVER, lift up the hood and look under it!! Read the T&Cs. Here is what I found when I looked under the hood: 1. You will NEVER "own" your logo! You have rights to use it, but those rights have many limitations that you must know about or you could be subject to a lawsuit later. 2. They are only initially selling you a "Private Use" license! If you intend to use that logo or other content to "make money", you must purchase a "Commercial License" through Fiverr. Now you need to read the T&Cs for that. And you still NEVER own your logo, only use of it! 3. If the creator you use uses images through Fiverr, it will be through Shutterstock. You now need to read their T&Cs. Be prepared to be shocked, but informed! These are under the layers of T&Cs. Again you have limitations you better know about or you could be in a legal battle down the road. Here is an example of a very interesting limitation they add, if your Shutterstock image is going to be used in marketing this is the limit; Printed in physical form as part of product packaging and labeling, letterhead and business cards, point of sale advertising, CD and DVD cover art, or in the advertising and copy of tangible media, including magazines, newspapers, and books provided no Image is reproduced more than 500,000 times in the aggregate." *If your business takes off and you used the logo or content for branding and you have this limitation you will need to buy the new license. 4. If you want to remove the reproduction limits, you will need to purchase an "Enhanced Commercial License". You will still have limitations and never own your logo. 5. The creator of your content who retains ownership has all rights to resell your logo or content as many times as they want. Who feels good about that cheap price tag now? Anyone who endeavors to spend their savings and take the path of entrepreneurship I do advise you to at least consult Legal Shield for advise to start. There is a small monthly fee which you can discontinue at any time with no penalty. It will be worth it! Also, get into groups of people who are business owners, engage with your areas Small Business Administration team, etc. Take the time to gain knowledge that will prevent wrong choices. Here is the link to Fiverr's Terms of Service https://lnkd.in/gMqh3w-T

Growing on Fiverr involves a mix of strategy, consistency, and delivering exceptional service. Here are some tips based on what has worked for many successful sellers: 1. Optimize Your Gigs Clear Titles and Keywords: Use relevant keywords in your gig titles, descriptions, and tags. This helps in showing up in Fiverr's search results. Attractive Thumbnails and Videos: Eye-catching visuals and an engaging intro video can grab attention and increase clicks. Detailed Descriptions: Clearly outline what clients can expect. Make it easy for them to understand your value. 2. Leverage Reviews Request feedback after delivering high-quality work, as positive reviews increase credibility and attract more clients. You could also offer a little extra as a thank-you (like a small bonus service) to build goodwill. 3. Competitive Pricing with Quality Delivery Start with a competitive rate, and as your reputation grows, adjust your pricing to reflect your value. Always deliver more than expected—Fiverr buyers love over-delivery. 4. Focus on Quick Response Times Fiverr’s algorithm rewards sellers with high responsiveness, so aim to reply quickly. This not only boosts your visibility but also reassures clients that you’re committed. 5. Promote Your Gigs Externally Share your Fiverr gigs on LinkedIn, social media, or even relevant forums where potential clients might be looking for your services. This external traffic can help increase gig views and conversions. 6. Constantly Improve and Add New Gigs Keep an eye on industry trends and create new gigs accordingly. This shows you’re up-to-date and broadens your market reach. Consistent quality service and communication with clients are key to long-term growth on Fiverr. Let me know if you'd like help refining your Fiverr profile or gigs—I'd be glad to assist!

Fiverr isn't a quick-rich platform... It takes you time to grow there. And at the end of the day, we conclude: "Money isn't as important as building relationships with your clients" Even if you're a level one seller... Try to make your profile stronger by working on different projects until you achieve level two... Coz at this time, you need more clients, not just money. Right? But. Now. Listen. This. Too. It has been a long time since I left relying on these platforms... Coz I felt: You don't know when your account is fired without any reason... And you can't do anything... You're helpless. I saw many cases right there... So, the purpose isn't talking about Fiverr... But the experience that relates to my yesterday's post... Yesterday, I clearly told: "Build relationships when you're starting with a new client." So, he approached me to write 2 emails. I quoted him '$60 per email' And he accepted... Well, Instead of sending him the emails directly... I sent him a draft with the research data, including ideas... And he absolutely loved it. (Check the first comment) Now, here's the best part: When I sent him the final emails, he asked for a revision... Revision: He wanted to send the email per week... And I wrote both emails, linked with each other. (And 6-days is too much gap for linked emails...) Well, no question asked, I wrote him 2 brand-new emails from different angles... You know what he not only loved them but also threw a tip for a mango milkshake. 😍 But you might be thinking: How can someone do this after asking for a revision? Here's the thing... I really didn't care about the time... OR what he's paying... - I just focused on what he wanted actually... - I built a relationship with him... - Asked questions... - Asked about his products coz these emails were for building rapport... After he revealed his products... - I gave him suggestions about marketing emails and sales page copy. Here's how I went through. (Since ONLY two emails project) And this is how you convert short-term clients into long-term... Enough for today. I hope you learned something valuable. Question for YOU: How do you convert a short-term client into long one? PS. You can message me if you're looking for a copywriter.

How Andrew Carpen Earned $100,000 in his first year on Fiverr In January 2020, Andrew received his first $200 Fiverr order in his spare time while working full-time. That first order and 5-star review motivated him to pursue more success on the platform. By March 2020, his monthly Fiverr income matched his full-time job's pay. This strengthened his belief he could support himself through Fiverr. Pivotal Moments The COVID-19 lockdown allowed Andrew to intensely focus on improving his Fiverr profile. Being confined to his home almost all the time allowed him to focus more intensively on his work during weekends and free time, aiming to enhance his profile on the platform. Achieving Level 2 status and being recognized as Fiverr’s Choice were significant milestones for him. It took about seven months of dedicated effort to reach Level 2, a level that added an extra layer of trust and expertise to his services. The day he received an order marked with the “Fiverr’s Choice” badge was unforgettable. He had never seen this before and discovered his gig had been selected as a Fiverr’s Choice service. He always dreamed of running his own business and being his own boss. This goal was very important to him. Before he was 30, he achieved a lot of success in the corporate world. But, the more successful he became, the more he wondered if he was really doing what he valued. Even though he was doing well in his job, he felt like he was working for someone else's dream, not his own. This made him think hard about what he really wanted to do. Finally, he made a big decision. Even though the economy was very uncertain, he decided to leave his job and work full-time on Fiverr. This was a huge step for him, but he was ready to follow his dream. Key Challenges 1. Andrew's first chargeback experience cost him thousands of dollars despite completing a 5-star project. 2. Multiple customers wasted significant time without moving projects forward, sometimes even canceling orders. 3. A sudden drop in his Fiverr gig's visibility felt discouraging, but staying dedicated to quality work paid off long-term. Words of Wisdom 1. Success requires long-term dedication to honing your craft. Andrew spent 10 years building his skills before thriving on Fiverr. 2. Go above and beyond for customers. Exceptional service brings great rewards. 3. Be a great salesperson. Being able to sell yourself is crucial for making money. 4. Running a business is stressful. Prioritize self-care. 5. Learn from mistakes without repeating them. Enjoy what you do. Life is short, so do things that make you happy and put passion into your work. Being content with who you are is more valuable than any amount of money. Let Andrew's story motivate you in your own entrepreneurial journey! #successstory #freelancing #entrepreneurship #fiverrsuccess #motivation #fiverrwork

Gig Title, Description, and Keywords: Craft a compelling title and description with relevant keywords to improve searchability. Highlight your service's perks using bullet points for maximum impact. 3. Ratings, Reviews, and Orders Completed: Positive reviews and completed orders are key to climbing Fiverr's ranks.

Fiverr Just Disabled My Account! Yes, it's true. The profile I worked on for almost 4 to 5 years is now disabled. Everything was going smoothly until the morning of June 21st, when I received an email stating, "Your gig was removed." I panicked. My gig was well-optimized, ranking on the first page, and was bringing 80% of my monthly income. The trouble began when a client filed a complaint against my profile, claiming the first draft didn't meet her requirements. I explained that the delivery was not yet final and that she could request changes. However, she responded with hostility, accusing me of scamming her and doubting my abilities. Despite having over 240 5-star reviews, she insisted I was in the wrong. Without further discussion or clarification, Fiverr's customer support canceled the order. I reached out to customer support for a solution. They informed me that my account was under review due to the alleged use of copyrighted content in my gig images and videos. This was baffling since I had not changed any of the content for almost two years. Despite explaining that all materials were created by me and my team with permission, Fiverr remained unresponsive for five days. They already disabled my inbox, preventing client communication except for ongoing projects. This harmed my reputation and disrupted my connection with many prospecting clients. I offered to replace all the content Fiverr deemed problematic, but their response was disheartening: "You can access your funds for the next 60 days, but your account will be permanently disabled afterward." This is something like "We are going to hit you on the head but the good news is you'll alive and will only feel pain" I consulted with Ex-Fiverr sellers, And I got the most common and shocking answer from everyone! "Fiverr never supports sellers" Many left due to the platform's bias towards buyers, regardless of whether the buyer was trying to get free work or breaking terms and conditions. And Fiverr proved that right in my case as well. 👉 Is this a reward of Loyalty for sticking to such a big name for almost 4-5 years..?? 👉 Is this customer support you are providing to a seller who brings business for you..?? 👉 Do you guys really think 1 complaint from a buyer will neglect your struggle of 4-5 years and 240+ 5 stars reviews..?? 👉 And Is there a Fair policy to suspend anyone's profile without warning who has been working for years and years..?? There are many freelance platforms with lower commission fees. If Fiverr's terms and conditions remain the same, they risk losing sellers' trust. As a discussion panel member at my university, known for freelancing on Fiverr, I can no longer recommend the platform to anyone. I never expected such treatment from such a reputable name, and this experience has been profoundly disappointing...
