If you’re a freelancer then you will be aware of Fiverr. We know that Fiverr has become one of the greatest freelancing platforms for all individuals across the world. And as it’s developing and coming up with new features, it’s becoming tougher for every freelancer to rank on the main page.
You can follow the given steps below to rank your profile.
Keyword Research
Keyword research is the very first step one should start with. Whatever niche you’re going to work in requires proper research of keywords to secure your rank on the first page of Fiverr. Every new seller on this platform is recommended to spend at least 2 days in this process. There are certain ways of doing it. Once you’re done with a thorough research work relevant to your niche then you can move to the next step.
Title And Description
Once you’ve completed the keyword research, you move to the creation of your gig. A gig with a good title and description tends to attract more buyers than an average existing gig. In this case, one should spend some time having a thorough look at the other prominent gigs on Fiverr. And these are the things you’ll find in common amongst every one of them.
- The title will be short
- The main keyword or two would be the part of the title.
- The description will be well written covering all the ample parts of the seller’s service.
- Description will also include the targeted keywords in it which helps the gig to rank.
Title and description are the most important part of every ad or gig on Fiverr so be wise while writing these for your gig. Other than these, the remaining part of gig creation is pricing. Just go through the relevant services and decide what you should charge. It shouldn’t be too much or too low. Find a sweet spot and you’ll do good.
Remain Online For At least 14–16 hours
Setting up the profile and creating optimized gigs isn’t going to help you get clients. Your account on Fiverr is like a shop and you’re required to keep it open as long as you can to get buyers. If you stay offline and expect to get clients based on good SEO of your profile then surely you’ve misunderstood the algorithm of Fiverr.
Fiverr promotes online sellers more than offline ones. Moreover, it’s a basic customer physique that the buyer will always prefer the online seller in terms of good communication relevant to the service or a product.
So, every new seller is required to stay online for at least 14–16 hours to get more chances of winning a client.
Yes, it is difficult but fruitful.
Minimum or Zero Response Time
So here’s why staying online for such long hours is important. Because it is also linked with the response time on your profile.
Response time is based on the last 60 days of a seller’s activity and tracks the amount of time it takes for a seller to respond when they receive an inbox message. Response time tracks all responses, not just the first message from the buyer.
What is a good response time on Fiverr?
If you reply to the last message more than 24 hours after receiving it, your response rate will still be 90%.
Reviews
Having a maximum number of positive reviews on your profile increases the chances to get more new clients. And that is only possible if you’ve honed your skills in whatever niche you’re working in. Just keep practicing and get more efficient in your line of work.
So this is how you can rank your profile on this competitive freelancing platform.
