This page is very important because you will enter the Category along with the keywords and metadata that will help the customers to find your Gig in the search results on Fiverr.

So let’s see how to fill the information in each of them in the best possible way.

Overview

To create your Gig on Fiverr you will need to fill this section called Overview.

On Gig Title you have to enter the Title of your Gig.

The initial part, “I will” is same for everyone and cannot be removed or changed.

However, you can also insert the title in your own language or any language you prefer such as Hindi, Italian, German, etc. It all depends on your target audience. For example, if you want to address your Gig to an Italian audience then you can use this option. Obviously, it is up to you to decide what to do. In general, the ideal way is to create two separate Gigs, one written in English is used for an international audience while the other in Italian is used for the Italian audience.

As soon as the category is selected, another window will open alongside and you will have to choose the subcategory.

Scope And Pricing

To create your Gig on Fiverr you will also have to insert the price of your services. To do this you need to fill in the “Pricing” section carefully.

In addition to the price of your Gig, you can also differentiate your service by creating 3 different packages: BASIC, STANDARD, and PREMIUM with which you will be able to meet the needs of your customers.

In this section, you can also give a name to each package, add a summary to each package (100 characters max) and select the various options till you complete everything with the price of the various packages.

Read the tips given for each selection that will appear on the right.

If you don’t know English then you can translate it with the help of Google Translate or take help from some expert sellers on Fiverr itself.

Each category of Gig has different fields to select and fill in. The image below is just an example.

You also have the option to deselect 3 packages (the selector you see at the top right of the image) and use only one package howerver, with 3 packages you have more chances of earning.

Set the delivery time while taking care that you do not set it too short because being punctual in compliance with deadlines is one of the most important qualities if you want to make maximum profit on Fiverr. 

Description & FAQ

This is the most fundamental step in the creation of a gig on Fiverr. To create your Gig on Fiverr, you must fill in the “Description & FAQ” section carefully. Here you need to enter a description of your Gig accurately.

Here you have to describe your Gig. Try to do it in the most complete, captivating, and professional way. For that, you have 1200 characters available for describing your gig.

After filling description, the next section is Frequently Asked Questions. Depending on the type of service you offer, you have the option to enter the questions that you think your customers may ask you and the answers to these questions.

The FAQ section is also very important. Here you will have to enter the most frequently asked questions as well as the related answers. So think about the questions in which most of the users might be interested and help them know immediately what they want.

Requirments 

If you want to create your Gig on Fiverr then you also need to fill in the “Requirement” section. In this section, the customer or buyers have to provide you with the details and files which are necessary before you can start working for them and provide your service.

Here you can ask the customer for the materials and pieces of information which will be needed to perform their job.

If you are a video editor then you might need the original files or if you write articles then you may need guidelines or if you deal with websites then you may need login details. In short here you have to specify everything you need to complete your Gig in advance.

For example, if you are a lawyer and you sell legal advice you could ask the client for the judicial document you received. In this case, it is useful to activate the “Attached” option to attach a digital copy of the received document.

Or if you offer services to speed up websites then you may need website access credentials such as hosting credentials and domains. In this case, you may not need an attachment but a simple free text.

Gallery

Now you are about to create your first Gig on Fiverr. The Gallery section is one of the last and most important steps in the creation of the gig.

Here you have to enter all the information that shows the potential customers that you are able to do the job that you are describing in your gig. For example, you can enter some success stories.

This is your portfolio. In this section, you can insert images and videos that demonstrate or shows your skills. Choose the best images and videos that can show your skills.

For example, if you grow Instagram profiles you can insert a screenshot of a profile to show the followers owned before the start of the service as well as the followers reached at the end of the service.

However, if it is possible then try to upload a short video because according to Fiverr itself, the videos give more conversions!

You can insert proofs in the form of attachments such as PDFs. Upload a PDF file only if it is necessary to better describe the service.

By this point you are really ready. Now all you have to do is click on “Save” and publish your first Gig. Good luck!
