Welcome to Day 6 of the $10 a Day on Fiverr series. You’ve built your gig, optimized it for SEO, and now it’s time for the big moment: getting your first real order. Let’s make it happen — fast and legit.
🎯 Why the First Order Matters
Once you get your first order and a 5-star review, Fiverr starts trusting your gig more. Your visibility increases, and more buyers are likely to choose you. This is your momentum point.
🚀 Step 1: Promote Your Gig Outside Fiverr
- Share your gig on LinkedIn, Facebook groups, Reddit, or niche forums
- DM friends who might need your service — with a personal message
- Post your gig on Twitter or Pinterest with a simple call to action
📬 Step 2: Use Fiverr’s Buyer Requests (if available)
Go to More → Buyer Requests and look for any job related to your gig. Reply with a short, clear, friendly message explaining:
- What you’ll do
- How fast you’ll deliver
- 1 example (if possible)
💡 Step 3: Offer a “Beta Deal”
Temporarily lower your price and mention it in your gig description:
🚀 Beta Deal: Get this service at a discounted price while I build up reviews!
This signals urgency and attracts budget-conscious buyers.
⭐ Step 4: Deliver Like a Pro
When the first order comes in:
- Respond fast
- Confirm what they need
- Deliver a bit more than expected (e.g., extra format, bonus tip)
- Kindly ask for feedback — don’t beg, just invite
✅ Your Day 6 Action Checklist
