Starting journey as a freelancer in an online marketplace Fiverr seems hard. There are no administrative complications and no existence of human resource department in Fiverr hiring employees (freelancers) by buyers from numerous companies. Fiverr promotes direct two-way communication via online between job hunters and service seekers.

After creating an account in Fiverr, the seller may not find orders from clients according to gigs. To solve these complications, the seller has to optimize his/her Fiverr profile including gigs and services that he/she offers for the benefit and demands of buyers. Optimized description, gigs and pictures with positive reviews of previous clients regarding performed services by sellers attract buyers to provide orders that matches gig of Fiverr profile of sellers. Sellers should include some sample works in the Fiverr profile so that buyers can preview and get concept about receiving quality results before providing order to the seller or freelancers based on their demands matches with gigs of the seller.

Proper optimization of sellers profile is more prone to appear in suggested lists of Fiverr in front of profiles of buyers seeking services which suites with sellers’ gigs. In the beginning phase, sellers have to be patient because finding orders from buyers initially seems difficult. To receive orders in the beginning stage of serving as freelancers, lead generation of potential companies and clients are essential for sending sales proposal to a large number of buyers to get response and orders from buyers. Lead generation means visiting buyers’ profiles who are seeking relevant services with sellers’ gigs for email ID collection. After Email ID collection from buyers’ profiles, sellers (freelancers) should send Emails to every enlisted buyer by mentioning offered services and packages within reasonable price for inviting buyers to receive required services from them (sellers) in the preliminary phase of their (sellers) career in Fiverr.

As a beginner in Fiverr, sellers enhance upselling of services. Upselling means package system of services. Suppose, a person is a proficient content writer. Besides, that person is skilled in video editing, copywriting and designing logos. In this fact, the person (seller) must include these extra services or gig extras by inviting buyers to take other services along with content generation services under a package system with lesser price than the other efficient and more experienced sellers. This package service (more than one services from one seller) will grab attention of buyers in Fiverr to get or receive enlisted services from sellers. It is prerequisite to do tasks based on clients’ conditions. Time management is desirable from sellers for delivering gigs or services towards buyers. Meeting up deadlines with flawless results assists sellers to receive good reviews. More good reviews from clients symbolize sellers in depth knowledge and efficiency in producing outputs for better outcome. Satisfied clients are essential to boost up your portfolio as a seller for service development in future.

In the initial phases of working as a seller or freelancer, a freelancer has opportunity to showcase their performed tasks in their profile. To acquire clients, beginners do lead generation and send Emails to potential clients for inviting in receiving services. Moreover, buyers want to check out sellers’ expertise. That is why; sellers must try to display their portfolio and enlisted gigs in an optimized way along with lesser price tags. Well defined portfolios may help sellers to receive orders gradually.

Two way communications among buyers and sellers are required to conduct all assigned tasks in Fiverr. A seller may knock to a buyer to collect more information of the company for preparing service based assigned tasks. Sellers may ask question at the middle of doing order tasks to remove confusions. Too much knocking and confusions may be a matter of annoyance among buyers. Moderate and informative communications are prioritized among buyers from sellers. Buyers are bound to provide necessary information relevant to assigned tasks towards sellers. Both parties have to be concerned about their privacy, professionalism and confidentiality for holding reputation.

In Fiverr dashboard, buyers create post for seeking their required services. Sellers have to be active or stay online in Fiverr account according to the zone of abroad to capture foreign clients for their remote jobs. In comment section, sellers (beginners) have to create a friendly but professional conversation with both local and international buyers to impress buyers for receiving orders. In the first attempt, a beginner seller or amateur freelancer has less opportunity to grab the opportunity. However, friendly professional discussion between a seller and buyer may trigger a beginner seller to become a next client of a renowned company by following this strategy of buyer hunting with matching services or gigs.

Newly established organizations and companies look for fresher freelancers to get the required services or gigs done with providing the affordable remunerations. As newly established companies have to go through limited inflow of financial resources for the investment for the company’s growth in following days. For this reason, newly launched organizations and companies try to take relevant gigs or services from sellers with fewer experiences who have started their freelancing journey freshly with lesser salaries than the efficient one. Beginners can search for buyers who are newly seeking freelancing services. It will be easier for sellers to get good reviews with appropriate services.

Good reviews from best performances scale up their (sellers) profiles and got attached in the suggested list of renowned company buyers as an efficient seller. More efficiency leads to reach towards famous and popular companies who demand high-quality service with bigger budget. To impress these well-known companies, you will have to display your expertise in different portfolios with various types of high quality services and optimized gigs. Hard work, acquiring skills and wide-range of experiences will assist every freelancers or sellers to reach on the top with high salaries and best services by following and doing assignments based on needs of buyers.

As some final remarks, I would like to say some suggestions for new freelancers of sellers of Fiverr. Sellers will have to be sincere, obedient, passionate with technical skills and communication skills about delivering services. High quality service to buyers may motivate them to take services from you (seller) in future times. Sellers have to be active in Fiverr or online marketplace so that they (sellers) can respond instantly to messages from clients. Sellers and buyers can directly collaborate in Fiverr because of no existence of administrative complications. Fiverr is an online platform where a seller has opportunity to upsell extra gigs and can learn as well as share E-learning for skill development. Freshers can choose Fiverr as a reliable online marketplace for career advancement as Fiverr promotes advertising and showcase of wide range works in front of clients or buyers. This opportunity helps a person to get order from companies located in abroad. Remote job is accessible in Fiverr as a successful online based earning and employment generating site. ???
