all right guys we're back we're talking
about something
very exciting today how to set up the
perfect
fiverr gig this is invaluable
information if you want to be a
freelancer if you want to make more
money online
if you want to make more money from
fiverr i've been on their site for over
six years i'm a pro seller i've
completed over 12 000 orders
i've made 1.2 million dollars off of the
site to date
i know all of the tips tricks nuances
things that i probably shouldn't even
know
i know about it which is why i want to
share with you guys how to set up the
perfect
fiverr gig today let's do it all right
so first off people always say to me oh
fiverr is paying her to make these
videos
no and i really wish they were but they
won't i've asked them multiple times to
partner with me and they won't partner
with me i'm not gonna say i'm not a
little salty but i am a little salty
about it
i'm just doing this out of the goodness
of my heart so please don't come for me
um all right to date guys i've probably
made 18 different gigs on fiverr
i've had three of them rise to the
absolute top of everyone in the section
they're in
my blog gig my ebook gig um they're the
number one in the entire category on
fiverr
just giving you guys some of my
background credentials to tell you i'm
definitely qualified
to create this video for you my thoughts
on fiverr i think it's a great
freelancing site for people just
starting out
i think it's perfect for your first or
second year into freelancing
i don't recommend it for five plus years
it's not a sustainable site
with them taking 20 percent from you
it's just not something you want to do
for five six seven years
i'm at a point now where they are i feel
taking too much money from me but in the
first
one to three years it was absolutely
essential to be on fiverr
since it's a lower quality client um
they have fewer expectations for you
it's a really amazing place to test out
your skills get to know yourself get to
get better at customer service
and all of the other things that you can
then take off of fiverr to grow your own
freelancing empire all by yourself and
i'm gonna get into these kinds of videos
too and how to establish your business
off of fiverr but
for those of you who are beginners you
want to make some money fast um you want
to scale a business you can definitely
hit
10 15k after a year on fiverr it's not
hard to do
uh so you can definitely start making
six figures on there just saying it's
not something
i would recommend you use uh further
into your freelancing journey but for
those of you who are brand new
it's great great site to sign up on
totally free there's no risk to it
all you're gonna need is your laptop and
your phone and wi-fi
and i think that's what's really cool
about freelancing is that you don't need
to go buy
you don't need this you don't need this
camera you don't need anything um you
just need
everything that you already have so
super low risks if these are like the
different things that were in your head
that were
you were using as a scapegoat to not get
started
busted you're gonna have to get started
now because you're watching this video
sorry you clap three times the freelance
fairy will appear
in your room and help you set up your
fiverr gig i'm so weird
all right guys so we're gonna dive into
this i'm gonna do screen sharing here
in a second to show you what i'm
actually talking about it's gonna be
much easier than me just talking to you
out loud
but we're gonna go through a bunch of
different things before we look at the
computer screen um the first and
foremost thing that you need to do when
setting up a fiverr gig
is figure out what the heck you want to
offer i
can't tell you how many people message
me and they're like well what's the
highest paying gig
no no no no no do not chase the money
okay chase what you like to do your
interests your passions and the money
will follow do not
invert this this is me every time my cat
goes in her litter box i have to wait
for her to be done digging
are you done
okay does that mean yes okay back to
what i was saying you have to figure out
what you want to offer based on your
interests why do i say this because
freelancing isn't easy and there's going
to be days when you want to quit and
it's really frustrating and all these
things
and you're going to stick with it if
you're doing something you actually want
to do
it makes no sense to me that you would
quit your 9 to 5
or whatever else it is to go do
something again that you don't even want
to do like this is your moment
to go do something that you want to do
like i think that's amazing so
if you want to write if you want to cook
if you want to paint on a sidewalk i
don't care what it is
um you need to identify what your
interests are
a lot of you are now going to say to me
well how do i do that okay if you don't
even know how to do that like you might
need to reflect on your workflow process
but i'm going to
try and talk you through it right now
anyway
first thing you can do is get out a big
sheet of paper and write down all the
things that make you happy
then you can group them into different
groups and start to see oh wow a lot of
artsy things make you happy or a lot of
data entry makes you happy or being
helping people or running households
whatever it is you're going to start to
get to know yourself
more so i highly recommend doing that
right now you can pause this video or do
it after the video if you want uh if
that's not enough for you okay you do
that exercise you still don't really
know what to do
guys it's time to get self-startery here
and start doing your own research
get on fiverr and literally just look
around at all of the different things
people are offering you could spend a
week
doing this and you might come across a
service that you never even thought of
and you're like
oh i could do that or oh i like that
but i can't tell you what to offer okay
that's something i cannot help you with
you have to go identify that yourself
take a day
take two days i mean you don't need to
probably take longer than two days but
go sift around fiverr and go check out
what other people are offering
this should be fun guys like you're
shopping for your future
and doing fun things okay um when you
freelance no one's your boss anymore
so there's no reason why you should go
do the thing you were just doing at your
job that you hated
like it's called freelancing for a
reason okay time to break
free guys um so that's how you're going
to figure out what you want to offer
once you have that all set up and you've
done all of your research
now it's time to get down to the
nitty-gritty of signing up
and freelancing on fiverr completely
free to sign up on it's just like
signing up on a social media site
pick any username it doesn't matter a
password i believe fiverr now
makes you prove your identity by sending
in a picture of your id
very basic simple stuff guys don't get
scared yet okay
all right now for the good stuff i'm
gonna show you guys
my fiverr profile and i'm gonna go
through one of my really high ranking
gigs
and explain to you why it's high ranking
and what you need to do to be setting up
a similar gig who's
pumped get pumped okay are you not
pumped get pumped get pumped all right
guys so we are now
looking at my fiverr profile and the
different gigs that i have
offered on it i'm scrolling through them
right now so you guys can check them out
for the purpose of this video we are
going to look at how i have structured
my ebook gig because this one has been
definitely really popular for me and
taking off a lot recently
so first and foremost when setting up
the perfect fiber gig you need to select
a high quality crisp image of yourself
that you have edited
the title onto see how i put i will
write your ebook on top of it
this just makes it easier for people to
identify what you are offering in your
gigs if they have no idea what you're
offering they're gonna scroll past you
and pick the other 30 000 people on
fiverr um you want a brief
you know succinct title that gets to the
point don't worry about making it clever
there's going to be 10 000 other people
who have the exact same title as you on
fiverr
so like really don't kill yourself
writing it just get right to the point
and like make it obvious what you're
offering
uh make sure it's really eight or nine
words or less you don't want it to trail
off of the page when people are
searching for you
and then yeah just edit it right onto
the image guys i mean this isn't a great
image at all i did it in canva in like
two seconds
um yeah so there's no reason why you
can't just like go make one of these
quickly
but again make sure they're crisp clear
imagery um
nice colors you know just the obvious
stuff like if you were shopping what
would you want to see
and then if you scroll over i've
included one more picture of myself i do
this for the purpose of trust on fiverr
because
there's a lot of people on there who are
scamming people or you know trying to
like
pull one over on everyone so again i'm
just emphasizing like this i am the
person that i claim to be in this by
showing them two pictures
and then the last picture i included was
just this little silly graphic i made
that shows where i've been published
just to again reaffirm their trust in me
as someone who uh should be entrusted
with writing their ebook
okay if we scroll down now um this is
the meat of this right now is how to set
up the perfect
fiber gig description and that would be
this right here that we're gonna look at
right now
okay so i start i start this out by
saying welcome
to my ghost writing ebook gig pro gig is
time to make your personal ebook topic a
reality
um i've made it very personal i'm
letting them know that i'm here to serve
them and make their life better
at the end of the day everyone's selfish
and that's all they want to know is that
are you going to go above and beyond for
them and not for anyone else
so then i go into just discussing
everything that i'm going to provide in
this gig for them i come right out and
say it like i'm not trying to hide
anything
or whatever uh and then
i'm a big fan of bulleted lists i think
they're really important for helping
people scan
so i've definitely bolded it and
highlighted it to just make it obvious
for this person
if they don't read anything else in this
gig they're gonna see this
you can count on a book title table of
contents you know i come right out and
state the value that they're gonna
receive from spending money on this gig
time is money most people are going to
scan this they really shouldn't scan it
but they're going to scan it so they're
going to look at this list
and that's all that they're going to
look at um then i go into just
discussing the topics that i'm
comfortable writing for them you know i
don't want to write about
taxes or legal help for people because i
don't have a background in that so i'm
just kind of letting them know like hey
this is what i can help you with
um but you always want to seem
open to people and new topics you don't
want to seem like you're very
you know rigid with what you're going to
offer in your gig
so you just kind of let someone know
like hey if you have a um
request that isn't necessarily covered
in here just message me first and we can
talk about it
you just want to make sure you're open
for business at all times and there's
you know you're willing to help them
with anything that they need
then down here um i just clarify what
ghostwriting means so there's no
confusions and then i have my little
tagline let's get to work it's just
personalized you know cute whatever
um okay i'm gonna scroll down here this
just shows you a little bit of what i
have on my regular profile here's my
description
feel free to use it or use it as
inspiration please don't copy and paste
it guys you'll get in trouble on fiverr
if you do that
um you're also going to be able to fill
out an faq i think this is a really
great way to just kind of clear up any
you know concerns people might have if
they don't feel like they can trust you
yet
uh always cover your revision policy
with people because they might not
necessarily know so you definitely want
to like
be very upfront with what you offer for
revisions um because this can
be you know a miscommunication down the
line uh
you know here i come out again with more
trust oh i'll happily provide you with
access to examples of my ebooks like i'm
not trying to hide anything
um here's a little bit about me and why
i am an english native speaker
you know just all of this stuff again if
there's anything you can take away from
this it's that you want to
earn their trust with this gig set up
okay so next is the pricing always
always always activate the three tiered
pricing for your gig
you want to give buyers options when
they're shopping from you they don't
want to feel like they
only have one option uh super easy you
don't have to name them anything cute as
you can see i named mine basic
standard and premium um you know you
don't
have to like come up with these clever
names you can if you want to
but i've made it very clear what comes
in each cheer it's not this huge
paragraph it's like boom two k words
five k words ten k words very easy to
see that
um if you scroll down here
this just shows you a little bit more
about what comes with each one three
days four days five days
um you know extra if they want expedite
a turnaround 100
fee and then here is the total um
and then you guys can't see it right now
but i do have add-ons as well that they
can buy they can buy a press release
from me they can buy a blog from me
definitely use all of your add-ons it's
just another way
to get more money from the person if
they
start to see you as a one-stop shop
they're going to be much more likely to
buy from you
down here guys we have my most recent
reviews um reviews are
literally virtual gold on fiverr there's
nothing more important than five star
reviews
so you are gonna have to go above and
beyond especially in the beginning to
make sure your clients are happy
but this is really good experience for
you and how to satisfy a buyer make sure
they walk away happy you know the
quicker
and better you become at that the more
successful you're going to be as a
freelancer so here are my most recent
reviews on my ebook gig they all look
great um
which is amazing because that means i'm
going to get more more
orders because everyone will see my most
recent reviews are very positive
and yeah that was just kind of a you
know pretty simple run through of my
ebook gig i mean we can look at my blog
gig too guys
same thing same rules with the titles
you know the gig image i can't stress
how important it is that it's crisp
clear
includes a picture of yourself to help
assuage any fears that you're lying
about who you say you are
eye contact smiling you know very
important it's really important in all
marketing that you can connect with the
person who's looking at you
there's some like human component that
kicks in there that'll just make it more
successful
um same thing you know i have that same
image you can just use it on all of your
gigs
this one's showing on my portfolio that
i uploaded you obviously have to do this
in every gig
um just make sure if it's another if
it's work from another client you did
just blur out their name like these are
my own articles so i didn't have to
but you don't want to expose your
clients so be sure to blur out their
name um so they
you know aren't being exposed or they
don't get pissed off at you or whatever
um here's my three-tiered pricing very
straightforward with this blog gig
same thing you know with the description
i use my same little tag
line same structure if they take
anything away from it it's this right
here
so important that you do the list guys
so so important
uh scrolling down you know same stuff
from my profile
same effect well not the same faq but
similar
just to make sure that they trust me and
feel good
working with me most recent reviews
got a 4.3 from someone oh my gosh i
can't stand when people
do less than a five-star review but they
meant to do a five-star review it's
super frustrating
um here's the breakdown of my reviews on
this gig as you can see you know i've
gotten a few one star a few three star
um not i'm not perfect you're never
gonna please everyone so
be more realistic going into this that
if you get a bad review every so often
that's okay like you're gonna make it
out alive here
uh yeah i've had over a thousand orders
in this gig which is
incredible um and i had a regular blog
gig even before my pro
blogging which should tell you how many
blogs that i have written
on this site uh one more example guys
i'm going to show you
the press release one see you're now
starting to see all the common threads
here and what i'm
including for people to see um i
uploaded one that i actually wrote for
my mom so i didn't have to blur out her
name
so i always say do free work for friends
and family when getting started because
you can use
them in your portfolio same thing guys
you're saying i'm consistent here okay
consistency is super important um again
i'm excited to get to work let's get to
work you know
get some personalization in there this
one i threw in
a little self promo not necessary just
depends your style
same tiered structures here
this is what they get with it
faq okay as you see i've had a little
more
variation in what people have reviewed
it but mainly five-star reviews which is
great
all happy clients you love to see it
and yeah i'll just bring you guys back
