Miscellaneous

There are a few other things to note as you commence your career as a freelancer on
Fiverr

1. Always be online: you can only communicate client through Fiverr platform. You
can only respond to request if you are online, download the Fiverr app on your

phone and stay connected. Do not switch off your data, this is time to now spend

your time and data to make money
2. Visit buyers request on Fiverr: Beginners on Fiverr usually start from the buyer’s

request page. Buyers request page is a page where clients want to exchange

reviews for cheap services. So people with heavy works can get it done for a less
amount while they give the seller the good reviews he or she needs to get started.

If you used the right search word during gig creation, then you will see offers on
the buyer's request page, but if you do not create your gig with the right search

word, you will not get requests. Always keep a tab and edit your gig whee need
be. This is where you will start. I started here, today, I always have orders in queue

and even reject some works.

3. Do not communicate with your clent outside Fiverr, it is against the rule.
4. You can advertise your Fiverr gig. Fiverr already does the advert for you, however,

you can create awareness on your social media handles particularly the social
media network where you have a wider reach to an audience outside Nigeria.

I have earned millions of naira as a freelancer on Fiverr in just less than five years. I
started without any tips or training to guide me. Today I earn well more than some people

who are in private and public employment in Nigeria. You can create your own success

story too. Hard work and determination is all you require.
