Freelancing: Fiverr

Sefism.

Chapter 03

Your storefront

Where clients find you: an Upwork profile, Fiverr Gigs or your own LinkedIn and portfolio. Each works differently, so set up the one you chose properly.

Gig

What
A Fiverr service listing: a title starting "I will", a category, up to three pricing packages, a description, requirements and a gallery. New sellers can have up to 4 active Gigs.
Why
Buyers search and order Gigs, so the Gig is both your shop window and your contract for scope.

Watch out

Making several near-identical Gigs for the same service instead of one strong Gig per distinct service.

Gig SEO

Also called Gig tags, Fiverr search

What
Choosing the words buyers type: a plain title, the right category and subcategory, and up to five search tags, then using the same words naturally in the description.
Why
If your Gig does not appear for the terms buyers use, no one sees it, however good the work is.
Code
I will build a responsive landing page in React
Tags: landing page, react, website, next js, tailwind

Watch out

Stuffing unrelated trending keywords into tags, which misleads buyers and can get the Gig flagged.

Gig packages

Also called Basic, Standard, Premium

What
Up to three tiers in one Gig, each with its own scope, delivery time, revisions and price. Some categories require minimum standard packages.
Why
Tiers let buyers pick a budget while you control scope. A clear middle package is often the one most buyers choose.

Watch out

Three packages that differ only in price, so the buyer cannot tell what the extra money buys.

Gig requirements

What
The questions a buyer answers after ordering, such as brand colours, logins or content. The order clock starts when they submit them.
Why
Good requirements prevent the back and forth that makes you miss delivery dates, and they record what the buyer asked for.
