Aleks: We’re going to tell you the seven steps that you need to get started on Fiverr build a business on Fiverr. So how to get leads on Fiverr, how to close the leads, how to set up your profile, we’re gonna covering the best and the most important steps you need to take right now when you’re getting started. Or if you’ve been struggling for a while, you don’t know exactly how to grow your Fiverr account, so that if you get lots and lots of leads, I’m here with Damiano who has a six figure business, well, most of his business last year actually came from Fiverr and he’s just crushing it right now.
He’s ranking really high in all kinds of categories and is doing extremely well overall, so he’s very qualified to tell us the steps he’s taken so that you can replicate some of his results. So, welcome Damiano.
Damiano: Hey, Alex, how’s it going? Thanks for having me.
Aleks: So, what is the first step, like, how do people get started so they get ranked high and they get lots of leads and sales from Fiverr that are not just a few dollars but eventually more?
Damiano: Yeah, I think what’s really important to understand for new sellers getting started on the marketplace is that Fiverr is, it’s a freelance marketplace and they really care a lot about their rules.
So the first thing I would say is really, even before starting to sell your service or anything like that you should really get familiar with the terms of service on Fiverr. The terms of service, you know, it’s not that long, it’s not like most websites, you can go through it within a few minutes. And just understand them inside out because you don’t want to be stuck in a position, where, you know, you do something that goes against the terms of services and then they ban your account, and it’s very hard to get your account back once it’s been banned.
So I would say the first thing is really get familiar with the terms of services, inside out. Read it like the Bible, pretty much.
Aleks: Just, out of all the terms that are available, because people may think, yeah, but it’s boring, it’s a waste of time, why is it important? Just name one example of what could go wrong.
Damiano: Yeah, for sure. I mean, like, a new freelancer who hasn’t worked on a freelance marketplace, for example, might have a reaction to be like, hey, it would be a lot easier if you just call me on the phone, for example. Or, here, send me an email. These are all things that you cannot do on the Fiverr marketplace. You can’t communicate with the customer outside of the marketplace, and a lot of new sellers don’t know that and they end up getting their accounts banned because they give out their email addresses or they ask customers for their phone numbers, and things like that. That would be like the number one thing, is just try as much as possible to have all of your communication be on the actual marketplace. Other than that it’s just things like, you know, you don’t wanna have any copyright violations on your gigs.
Just make sure that, you know, if you’re offering, like, a Facebook related gig, for example, then your gig is specifically targeted towards Facebook ads, that you’re not doing anything that goes against Facebook’s terms of services as well. ‘Cause you don’t want any sort of violation coming from that as well.
