Answer

Amazon

Amazon is the largest online retailer website in the world. As being an online retailer, Amazon allows
individuals and businesses to sell their products online on its website. Even though Amazon operates 14
worldwide marketplaces, you don’t actually need to have 14 different Amazon accounts for each one
you wish to sell on.

Types of Models

As there are three key main models to work on Amazon such as:

1. Private Label (Building your own Brand)

2. Amazon FBA Wholesales
3. Amazon /Shopify Drop shipping

Different Ways

There are 2 different ways to sell on Amazon:

▪ Fulfilled by Amazon (FBA)

▪ Fulfilled by Merchant (FBM)

Fulfilled by Amazon (FBA):

FBA means Fulfilled by Amazon. “You sell it. We ship it” in Amazon’s terms. With FBA, the seller stores
products in Amazon’s fulfillment centers where Amazon will pick, pack, and ship those products.

How does FBA work?

As the seller, you’ll set up FBA in your Amazon account. Create your product listings, prepare your
products, ship your products to Amazon, and let Amazon pick, pack, and ship your items as customers
order your products.

Fulfilled by Merchant (FBM):

FBM means Fulfilled by Merchant. With FBM, the seller lists the product on Amazon and handles storage
and all aspects of order fulfillment.

How does FBM work?

As a seller, you’ll set up an Amazon account. Create your product listings and store, pack, and ship the
products as customers order them on Amazon. You’ll take responsibility for any late, missing, or
damaged arrivals.

supplier to Amazon Warehouse?

Answer

International Commercial Terms

1. Ex Works (EXW) – The seller makes the goods available at its location, so the buyer can take
over all the transportation costs and also bears the risks of bringing the goods to their final
destination.
2. Free on Board (FOB) –The seller must load the goods on board of the ship, nominated by
the buyer. Cost and risk are divided when the goods are actually on board.
3. Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) –The seller is responsible for delivering the goods to the named
place in the country of the buyer and pays all costs in bringing the goods to the destination.

Time Required for Shipment

For Air Shipment, it takes 4-14 days but it will be very expensive.

For Ship by Sea, it takes 22 to 40 days but it will be very cheaper than Air Shipment.

Tasks to do during product Manufacturing phase:

• Get your listings done.

• Product photography (3-4 3d images).Total 7 images preferable 9.Must contain info

graphics, lifestyle, and main 3d image.

• Get in contact with the supplier and ask them to send you pictures of the products.

PayPal will ask you about giving money to people you don’t know then you will
provide them websites to tell them that you own this website and you are giving
refunds to people).

• Start hunting process for preordered.

• Get your logo created.

• Also get an inventory inspector. (You can also say to the supplier that my inventory
inspector is coming so get the manufacturing done but in the end tell the
manufacturer that the inventory inspector is not coming. So show me the entire
inventory through video call).

• You can also get the control test verifiers like pikfuu.com where they tell you how
your product was by showing it to the 50 premium buyers which are quality ones.

19- How to Calculate Profit Margin and how much product has profit margin that we are sourcing?

Answer

Profit Margin

To calculate Profit Margins, we use AMAZON FBA CALCULATOR.

• Insert your competitor or your ASIN in FBA calculator

• Add your selling Price
• Cost of the Product + Shipping to Amazon cost and calculate Profit Margins and then lower
or increase the cost to check Which cost is suitable for you to get maximum profits

I recommend you at least 20% Profit Margins per sale, so while negotiating with the Suppliers; first get
the idea of what your cost should be in order to attain 20% Profit margin per sale.
 20- What is Product Listing?

Answer

Product Listing

Amazon product listing is the product page for each of the items you sell on Amazon. It is made up of
the information when you enter list your product including its title, images, description, and price. A
product listing page consists of:

• Title
• Bullet Points (Features)
• Description (Information)
• Images
• Price
• Variations (Colors, Sizes, Packs etc.)
• Shipping Method (FBM/FBA)
• Reviews

Dummy listing

The listing which is not active and is only activated when you either show your inventory in case of FBM
or when your stock reaches the Amazon warehouse. In case of FBA it is created to verify that there is no
problem regarding the listing, that you whether or not you have to submit some other documents or
formalities.

To add product:

• Go to Amazon seller central and click on Catalogue on the top left corner and then
select “add product”.

• For private label you would always “add a new product” because you are adding a
product against a brand which doesn’t exist. So you would create new listing, But if you
want to “me too” on a listing then you would add the ASIN of an existing product that
you want to attach yourself to.

• You can also click on inventory beside the catalogue button and also select the “add
product”. Both methods are exactly the same.
• Then you will see two options appear before you .You need to select the first option
which is the “add product not sold on Amazon”. If you want to add multiple products
which are listed in a file in a specified format you can also choose the second option
which is “I’m uploading the file containing multiple products”.

• Then you will need to choose the category. It must be noted that some categories
require you to request approval from Amazon. For Example (Homemade product).

• You can also delete the dummy listing and again restore it.

• If you don’t know your category you can scroll down and you will find “search for
category”. You will enter your product and then the suitable categories will appear
before you.

• After that you will need you enter your Product ID which is actually is the UPC
(Universal Product Code).If you don’t have one you can go to www.speedybarcode.com
and buy your UPC code.

• And the above step is very important; this step can help you win back your listing if it
gets hijacked. Mostly what happens is that hijackers see the listings with no recent
activity and they hijack your listing because the listing is officially the property of
Amazon. And situations worsen if you do not have trademark but the hijackers does. In
that case you cannot prove your ownership of that product. So what you will do is open
up a case with Amazon and tell it that this is your product and attach the certificate of
barcode of your product.

• After that it will ask for Product ID Type and you will select UPC.

• In Product Name you will enter multiple Keywords for SEO purposes. You can also get
the inspiration from typing your product on Amazon and seeing what other people are
doing. It is also advisable to put your brand name first in your product name.

• You have multiple variation themes i.e. color-size, size-material, color material.

• SKU stand for stock keeping unit. It is used in the listing recovery process in which you
have to put your SKU in order to restore the listing that you have deleted. It is only
known to you.

• Parent Listing is the listing involving some kind of variations in it. Its variations which is
known as Child Listing. Child listings have their own Product ID’s and they are also
displayed independently. The Child Listings will also have their own ASINS. Parent
listings will not be shown to buyer. If you want your variations to be shown in the same
listing. Then you will create a new product and you will add the variation. Now in the
variation segment you will put the SKU and UPC of the same product or the listing that
you want to merge together.
To merge listing together performs the following steps:

• First of all create the child listing that you want to merge together. They
will have independent SKU’s and UPC’s.

• Then you need to create one more listing. It is created by adding a

product. This listing will act as a parent listing. This listing will have its own
unique UPC. Then go in the variation section and add the variations. This
is where our child listing will come to life. Now you will add SKU same as
the child listing. Now in the product ID section you will add ASIN’s of the
Child listings.

• After 15 minutes you will have your listings merged.

The Do’s:

• Familiarize yourself with the selling policies of Amazon.

• Do write a short no more than 100 words of a descriptive title tag includes the following
• Brand.
• Series.
• Model number.
• Product type.
• Size.
• Color if applicable.
• If it is a bundled then you should also include the quantity in parentheses.
• Use as bar code whenever possible because if you create a detail page of a product that
is already listed in Amazon then your page will be removed?
• Listing should be very clear.

The Don’ts:

• Don’t copy anyone.

• Your images should have a white background should be clear should be high quality image.

• Provide factual descriptive information.

• Do include the major features.

• Do proofread all your pages and titles.

• Also hire a consult content writer.

• Don’t use any personal promotional information.

• Don’t put any specific information. Which could lead the buyer to you personally?

• Don’t add link to your personal website.

• Don’t write anything on your main image. Only use info graphics in the pictures in EBC OR A+ content.

• Question and answers

• If you want to add ebc and content without brand registry then you would have to go to fiver and hire
a person who already has a brand registry and you will ask him to me too on your listing and then he will
upload the Ebc and content .

21- What is UPC and why we need them?

Answer

UPC

UPC stands for Universal Product Code. It is used in many countries for product tracking and
identification in stores (both online and brick-and-mortar)

Amazon requires you to have one UPC for nearly every category. You need to obtain a Universal Product
Code in order to create your listing and send inventory to Amazon.

GS1 and why it's matter

GS1 is an organization that establishes identification standards for various industries, and licenses
unique GS1 company prefixes, which are necessary to the creation of UPCs.

Anyone selling UPCs are essentially reselling codes they obtained from GS1.

This is legal if they purchased them before 2002, but Amazon is now strongly recommending that sellers
use UPCs that they acquire directly from GS1.
Due to Amazon’s current UPC policy, it is important to not purchase UPCs from:

• People selling bulk UPCs on eBay

• Resellers who are selling UPCs for as little as $10.00

Resellers like these have been known to sell the same UPC more than once to multiple people.

As a result of this, Amazon has changed its UPC policy to help avoid having multiple listings in their
database using the same UPC, which could lead to confusion for the customers.

UPC Costs

Read this breakdown of how much UPCs will cost you:

Bought from GS:

1–10 = $250 + $50 annual renewal

1–100 = $750 + $150 annual renewal

Bought from Nationwide (a recommended UPC reseller):

1 = $12

5 = $25

10 = $30

Best Options for Purchasing UPCs

Here are your options for purchasing UPCs. Ultimately, Choose the one that fits your budget and
business plan!

Option 1: Buy UPCs directly from GS1

• This is Amazon’s official recommendation.

• b) It is more expensive, but is guaranteed to work, and not cause any issues

Option 2): Buy UPCs from a trusted reseller

• It is simpler and cheaper.

• It is unknown whether or not this will cause problems down the line.
 • We recommend two different resellers (see at the end of this post) who we have not had any
issues with, and who will provide you with a certificate of ownership for your UPCs.
• Make sure that any seller you buy from provides you with a certificate of ownership.

Where to Find UPCs

If you are selling in the UK or Germany, you must use a different GS1 location:

www.nationwidebarcode.com (Reseller)

www.barcodestalk.com (Reseller)

gs1.org/locations/germany

gs1.org/locations/united-kingdom

www.gs1us.org

22- What are the Possible Listing Errors?

Answer

Possible Listing Errors

Suppressed Listing

When you do not follow Amazon listing standards, Amazon will suppressed your listing and make it
inactive until you fix suppressed issue.

Stranded Inventory

What this basically means of stranded inventory is that the Amazon system doesn’t know what to do
with your inventory. For example your inventory is placed in Amazon warehouse for FBA and you delete
the listing or convert it to FBM from FBA, Amazon will stranded your inventory until unless you fix that
issue.

Unfulfillable Inventory
If your inventory or a few units got damaged or gets return in bad condition (in which not able to sell),
Amazon will make those units unfulfillable and will give you option of dispose of or get them back on
your address by creating a removal order.

28- How to create Amazon FBA Shipment Plan?

Answer

FBA Shipment Plan

When you're ready to send inventory to Amazon, you begin by creating a shipping plan. A shipping plan
specifies:

• The products you want to send to Amazon

• The quantity of each product
• The shipping method and carrier details
• Whether or not you want to prep and label your inventory yourself or have Amazon do it

Steps to Do for Shipment

On the Manage Inventory page, select each product that you want to ship. Then select Send/Replenish
Inventory from the Action on Selected drop-down menu.

On the Send/Replenish Inventory page, select one of the following:

1. Create a new shipping plan.

2. Add to an Existing Shipping plan to add products to an open shipping plan. Select an open plan
from the Add to shipping plan drop-down list.
3. Confirm your ship-from address. Your ship-from address is the location where your shipment
will be picked up. It may be your home or business. If you work with suppliers, it may be from
their warehouse. To change the ship-from address, click Ship from another address.
4. Confirm the packing type of the products you are shipping to Amazon. Individual products are
single products of varying quantities and conditions. Case-packed products are multiples of the
same products packaged by the manufacturer, each case containing the same quantity in the
same condition.

Continue to Shipping

• After selecting the products that you want to send, you are ready to set the quantity for each
product. Set Quantity is the first step in the six-step shipment creation process.
• Give dimension of your Product Packaging so Amazon can calculate your FBA and storage fee.

will give you Prep Guideline as per your chosen category.

will label from given options.

29- What is meant by Launching and Ranking a Product?

Answer

Launching & Ranking

Once your product gets activated on Amazon, it means your launching has started. Amazon takes your
product into HONEY MOON PERIOD where it requires a little sale on the keywords you want to rank and
used in your content as compared to the existing sellers. Because you do have the new release tag and
Amazon realize that so he gives you this favor.

So from the very first day, we must start working on getting sales on all the relevant keywords we want
to rank on.

Before Ranking following must have proper keyword indexing done, this hugely affects your ranking:

• Your listing should be optimized.

• Title should be within the word limit. (If you don’t know the word limit you can get in
contact with the Amazon and ask the representatives).The shorter the title the
better. Your title should contain your main keyword. It helps with the ranking
process

• Images should be 3d.It helps with the conversion rate.

• Backend optimization (subject matter, attributes, search terms, Platinum

keywords).80-90% leave this section blank.

• Bullet points.

• Description’s first paragraph.

• It should also have a proper converting images and description.

You must have the following before any ranking:

• ASIN. (You will use this to first analyze all the part of the listing .i.e. picture,
description, bullet points, info graphics.

• Landing Cost. ( manufacturing cost + shipping cost )

• Top 10 KW (key word).

• Inventory Available.

• Bleeding Budget per keyword.

• Approval by client.
 • FB account ad access.(4 accounts)

• FB page access.(4 pages)

• Google Remote Access.

• Seller Central Access.

• H10 access.

• Many Chat.

• Pay Pal access.( In case of refunds)

• Pixelfy URL.

• Google Sheet.

• FB ad image.

• FB ad copy.

Things to do before Ranking:

• Go to Helium 10 and then go to cerebro and then get keywords of your biggest
competitor by reverse ASIN. Then settings will appear before you. You will set
the minimum Search volume to 10. And you will set organic rank to 40 or
50.Organic rank means that on which spot you are ranked based on a certain
keyword.

• Then you will identify you’re main competitor by exploring all the possible
keywords leading from one competitor to another.

• Then you need to ask your client their budget for the ranking. Because it is
recommended for you to rank on a high search volume keyword. So that you
may get a lot of reviews and orders ultimately improving your BSR. In this
method if the CPR 8 day giveaways is 800 then we do 1000. Thus aggressively
improving our BSR.
 • But if the client does not have that much of a budget then you can tell him the
pros and cons of the above method and then tell him to go with a small
keyword and then gradually move to a large keyword

Ranking Strategies:

• You can ask other people to add you’re product into their wish list.

• Change your sub-category. It will give you timely boost. Amazon gives you knew
arrival tag.

• Keyword indexing is very important.

• Gora client is still relying on PPC.

• For a product Less than 20$: We will start with HL 1 phase 1. When the product
reaches 2nd – 3rd page we will start HL 1 phase 2 and VVRO’s until it gets ranked on
the top 5 spot. Then when the organic order will start we will gradually decrease the
giveaways. In such a way that the total number of products sold per day remains the
same.

• For a product between 20-40$: We will start off with HL 2 aggressively for 3
days. IN 80% cases the rank will improve at this point. After 3 days HL1 phase 1 is
started. When the product is ranked up to 2nd or 3rd page we start our HL 1 phase 2.
And then we use taper off method (gradually decreasing the giveaways but keeping
the total sales same.

• For a product more than 40$: We start with HL 2 aggressively. When the keyword is
ranked we start aggressive PPC and we will bring triangle reviews ( we hire a
mammon and we tell him to order our expensive product from but from FBM then
we will send him any small item gift card or something and also provide Amazon the
tracking ID for that shipment. Our mammon receives the shipment and leaves the
review. Now we will also give him a full refund and give him a certain commission).

For a successful launch we usually do two things:

• Giveaways on those Keywords (Recommended by JS / Helium 10)

• Run PPC on those Keywords (Sponsored Ads)
 30- How to use Giveaways to rank product?

Answer

Giveaways

There are many coupon distribution plate forms (Websites) we call Launch pad.

What we do is create discounted coupons and provide the launch pads those codes along with our
keyword. Launch pad's distributes those discount codes to their buyer's community along with the
keyword and product ASIN.

What buyer does is type that Keyword into Amazon search box and find our product on whichever page
it is ranked, and purchase from us. Upon his purchase, Amazon checks which keyword this buyer typed
and then associates us with that Keyword which helps us getting ranked on that Keyword quickly.
Launch Pads charges their certain fee / commission for all this.

Same like discount coupons we can giveaway the unit which helps in ranking better than coupons.
Because Amazon takes our sales as discounted one and does not rank us that strong as he ranks a
regular sale.

So for giving away what we do is we provide the Launch pad quantity of daily giveaways, Date Range,
Full Price of the product in advance, Keyword on which we want to rank, Product ASIN and their
Commission.

Launchpad's use to pay that amount to his buyers so they search us on Amazon with that keyword and
PURCHASE from us. Amazon takes it as a regular sale as he is not aware of the deal between Launch pad
and us.

Ranking Techniques:

• Viral Launch and Zone Jump (both are coupons launches) but Amazon does
not give value to a purchase through coupons. Do not give coupons more than
68%.

• Chat bots (many chat) and Facebook ads. This is most fast and popular
technique. Big keywords can be ranked in 2 weeks. This combination is known
as hyper launch.
 • Hyper Launch 1 Phase 1: We use this method when our product goes live. Our
chat bot asks about the Amazon and PayPal account. We create a pixelfy
super URL. And then ask the buyer to purchase our product. We give him a full
refund in a strictly defined time. The time stamp will be changed every time
thanks to pixelfy super URL. This method does not have much impact on the
Ranking process.

• Hyper Launch 1 Phase 2(Search find buy method SFB): This method is used
when our product is on 3-4th page. We give them our keyword and then ask
them to find our product. For further verification our chat bot will ask them
the price of our product. And it will verify it. Although it must be noted that
the products costing less than 20$ is considered to be not so good with hyper
launch phase 2. We also offer upto 90% off coupon. We ask them to roll the
spinner and then it depends upon the luck of the buyer. For this method to
work the buyer must add to cart the product to enable the option of coupon.
This is applied in the listing’s honeymoon period. We do this for 72 hours.
After this we switch to HL phase 1.

Question and Answers:

• You need to estimate the total price of the launch by taking into consideration
the numbers of inventory, ranking price of giveaways and Facebook ad. This is
your duty. Make sure that you have enough inventories for the launch and rank.

• Go to the www.pixelfy.me and the go to create campaign and then click on

create. Then you would see that campaign on your dashboard and you need to
click on a black icon know as view link. This would lead you to create a tracking
link. You would ideally create the supreme URL 2.0.

• Then comes the www.pixelfy.me website. This enables you to create super URL
and URL Rotator. Super URL is used in the hyper launch phase 1.

• In the super URL you put the ASIN and the keyword and then you create the
tracking link.

• URL rotator is the same only that it rotates between your super URLs. You can
also provide the percentage to them. You can set the priority to weighted”. This is
 used in the case when you find two keywords of almost the same search volume
so you do this to give each of them a bite to eat.

• For 1000 search volume keyword we will do 2 VVRO's.4% review ratio for the
whole sale. Every VVRO can have different intensity. So a fixed number cannot be
determined.

ManyChat:

• In the Dashboard you can find out the active subscribers, Language and
Gender. And also the bot overview graph.

• Sometimes it happens that the Facebook page is blocked and I want to

create a look alike audience. So you would go to the audience tab and click on
the bulk action displayed at the upper right hand. As you would click it a drop
down menu will appear and then you would scroll down and find the Export
PSIDs button. This will export all your many chat subscribers and you would
provide this code to the Facebook and tell it to create a look alike audience.

• If you want to develop expertise for the many chat then go to the
website of the many chat and click on video tutorials.

• Never use the word “free” in your flow in many chat bot. Facebook can
penalize you.

• Also you need to create an action of subscribe to bot so that you can automate
things more easily.

• Also try to add a state of urgency. This works here as well as on the
Facebook ad.

• If you want to get an input from user then you will scroll down the
message menu and click on user input, Also remember to add a tag on it so that
it can be saved for later purposes.

• Also remember to set the data type to text when you are getting the
order id from the user.

• Also go to the settings and set the time zone to USA or UK depending
upon the type of market you are currently working on.

• If you’re Many Chat bot is not starting or is stuck on bot then you would
go to the settings and then go to last tab of buttons and click logs to check the
 connection to your Facebook page. If it shows the issue of connection lost then
you would go to the settings>>general>>and scroll down and click refresh
permissions.

• If you want to save your data in your spreadsheet automatically then

you need to integrate your Google sheets in it. For this you need to go to
settings>>integration>>Google sheets.

• You need to add the “subscribe to the bot”.

• You also need to add “rebate counter” to your flow to limit a specific number of
people.

Facebook Ads:

• In the Facebook main page look at the top right spot then you would
see the button of create.

• Click on create and then you would see the box showing you the various
options. In case you don’t have an ad account creates one.

• Then create a new campaign.

• Then you would type the name of product.

• Then you would see the option of create split test which is basically
used to monitor and decide that which method is working best for you. This is
usually a very long method and we don’t go for it due to lack of Time.

• Then comes the budget optimization which allows you to set a specific
budget that you want to spend on ads.

• Select the objective as your messages. As you will be using the Messenger Bot.

• Then you need to set the “ad set name”. It should be a very practical
name considering the fact that you will more than one client so you should set
the ad name by the product name date or the client’s name so that it can be
easily identified.

• Ad set contains the audience, interest and budget. These are the major
things. There are total four. A professional usually creates multiple ad sets with
different variation. It is done for the purpose of split testing. But as I told you
 earlier we as VA’s don’t have this much time to spend on Split Testing. So we skip
this step.

• Ad set name ideally should include Country name of advertisement the

age group and the gender (f/m) along with the client’s name. i.e. (US 20-40 f
Alex).

• The destination should not include Pakistan although the ad spend here
is less but still we want USA or UK depending upon the product. You should
exclude Alaska from the USA market.

• Go to ad manager and go to Audience Insight to check the

market and interests. You can type your product name in interest box. If you
don’t find anything matching to your keyword you can go for the category i.e. for
garlic press you can choose kitchen as you category and type category in your
interests.

• Laser targeting is the concept in which it shows you that exactly which
audience would be interested in your product. i.e. married, single, students of
university or college. All this information is available in the audience insights. It
shows the information in the form of Graphs.

• You can also choose very big Facebook groups.

• It is also advisable to choose different states of a country instead of

choosing the country itself. This boosts up the conversion for whatever reason.
Although it increases the pricing but it also increases the conversion rate so it is a
win win situation.

• There is also an additional filter that you can choose that your client
should also have an interest in Amazon group. This is not really advisable
because many people on Amazon groups are basically lousy people that are only
interested in getting free products Also that initially you should try to keep your
ad for everybody and as easy as possible.

• For high quality Jennies you should always go for Instagram. After that comes
Facebook and messenger

31- What is PPC?

 Answer

PPC (Pay Per Click)

We run PPC (Sponsored Ads) on all those Keywords we want to rank to get utilized by the HONEY MOON
PERIOD. Amazon shows our product ad as a sponsored ad in the top of search results so our chances of
sales would be higher as we do visible to lot of buyers.

In sponsored ads, issue is that we do not have any guarantee that whoever will see our ad will purchase
from us and we would be able to achieve that number of daily sales which we need to rank on specific
keywords.

For this we do two things:

• Retail Ready Content (Title, Bullets, Description, Search terms and images would be greatly
optimized)
• Put Sale Price at Breakeven. For example your Product Cost is $5 including Amazon fees and
you are selling at $10 ($5 profit). What you will do is to go into product edit > offer menu >
chose Sale Price as $5 and date range for 10 – 15 Days. Once done, run PPC Campaigns on
your desired keywords as your chances of conversion would be higher due to having best
offer than all competitors.

PPC (pay per click) It has a very main role in increasing your visibility, rank and identifying new keywords.

• Also lightening deals which comes on cyber Monday along with, Amazon prime
day comes in June and July. Black Friday also comes.

• There is also a page of Amazon named as Deals.

• There are also digital coupons such as 5% or 10% or even more.

• In Early Review Program Amazon invites you to join the early review program. For
your first 5 reviews Amazon personally sends messages to buyers and asks them
about their honest review about the product. Amazon gives them reminder to leave
a review. Amazon charges you 60$ for this early review program. Beware that you
have a high quality product because this can also turn into a nightmare if some of
those people leave a negative comments. In UK people are more likely to leave a
positive review. To enable this go to Amazon Seller Central>>Advertising>>Early
review program>>Enroll in program. Then you just need to put your sku. This is only
eligible for those who don’t have reviews.
 • For Lightening Deals Amazon sends you invite. Unless you receive an invite you
cannot participate in this Deal. In this you have to give at least 20% discount on the
lowest price of you product in the last month. You have to decide whether or not
you have to participate in this.

• IN Digital Coupons you can create them anytime. Just go to Amazon Seller
Central>>Advertisement>>Coupons. Then you will create coupons and this has some
certain steps. For adding a product for the coupon you can either search by
ASIN/SKU or by keyword. Then you will select the discount type i.e. Percentage off or
money off. Then you will set the budget. The minimum budget for this will be 100$.
No less than that. Keep in mind that this not a hard limit the expenses could
potentially increase than 100$. So beware of that. This has more visibility and this
attracts the public more.

• To go to PPC: You have to go to Advertisement>>Manage Campaign. This gives you

three options

1-product PPC

2-Brand targeting

3-Retarget you’re Buyers.

(For the options 2 and 3 you have to have your brand registered)

You will also set the daily limit to 5$ for small range product.

You can choose between Automatic Targeting and Manual Targeting.

Then you will set the bidding strategies.

1-These are dynamic bids down only.

2-Dyanamic bid up and down.

3-Manual bid. It will only do as you set it to.

If you want to place your bid on the top of the listings then you will increase the percentage of the
listing i.e.100-900%.
Then you will enter the name of the campaign.

Then you will enter the bid. Amazon will show you the bid settings. It is highly advisable to set the bid
from the lowest. You can also set the search match to close match, loose match, substitute match and
compliment match. The highest bid and conversion is of the Close match. It is the best in the given
category.

Then there is also the option of Negative Keywords.

Then there is also the option of keyword targeting and ASIN targeting. Amazon also gives you some
keywords as a suggestion. In the ACOS (advertising cost of the sale). You should keep all the settings on
i.e. Broad, Phrase and Exact.

You should also target the products that is inferior to your listings in every way i.e. picture, reviews,
ratings, pricing.

You can also choose superior ones If you have a 5 star ratings and catchy picture and description.

You can also see the advertisement reports by going to Seller central>>Reports.

• The ideal process is keeping the auto ppc on and then finding out new keywords and
then including those keywords in the manual ppc.

• For viewing reports you need to download it. For efficiently viewing data follow the
steps written below.

• In the home tab of ms excel sheet go to “sort and filter” and then select the “Total
Advertising Cost” then a box will open and you need to deselect the 0.00% and blanks . Then
the row which you see has the highest and lowest ACOS, you can easily highlight it for further
effectiveness and productivity.

• Give your ASIN and KEYWORD at least 20 clicks for you take further actions on that
individual. Also do not take blunt actions on it but rather lower down its PPC cost. Also only take
small chunks of keywords in you ppc such as ten. Do not burdenize yourself by adding and then
managing like 50 keyword or ASIN at one time.

• If your campaign is doing very weird. Then you can decrease the PPC or switch it off and
then turn it on. This will delete all the history of that specific campaign. It is done so that you can
start fresh.
 • IF you want to rank a product on PPC then you will use the Dynamic down only. IF it
good then you will use Dynamic up and down.

32- What is meant by Promotion & Deals?

Answer

Promotion & Deals

When you start selling your products on Amazon, there are numerous ways you can help your product
sell faster and increase your conversion rate. The three main ways companies try to earn more
conversions are:

• Lightning Deals
• Promotions
• Coupons

Lightning Deals

Amazon Lightning Deals are promotional offers that only last for a short period of time. The “Lightning
Deal” for each product only lasts between four to six hours, making this a popular feature on Amazon.

Lightning Deals are a great way for your business to increase sales. You entice your audience to
purchase your product because the price is discounted. It’s also extremely helpful to use if you’re
looking to reduce inventory quickly

To access Amazon Lightning Deals, you must have a Professional Selling Plan. In your seller account, you
can visit the Lightning Deals Dashboard to see which products are eligible for Lightning Deals.

Promotions

Another way to get products in front of more interested leads is through Amazon promotions. Amazon
promotion sellers can offer their products at a low cost to incentivize their audience to tell friends and
family about the products. It helps them reach new leads that result in conversions.

Promotions encourage people to buy your products. It’s also a great way to increase brand awareness
and get your brand in front of more interested leads. Amazon audiences love a good deal, so using
promotions is a great opportunity for you to grab their attention. There are three main promotions you
can offer to your audience:

• Percentage off
• Free shipping
• Buy One Get One
 33- What are Amazon Coupons?

Answer

Amazon Coupons

Amazon coupons are visible to all people. You can see them in search results, on product detail pages,
and other places. “Clip” these coupons to apply them to your order. Sellers are charged $0.60 every time
a coupon is redeemed. If none of your competitors are using coupons, this is a great opportunity for
you to jump in on an exciting opportunity. It’s a great way to bring in new customers and increase
conversions for your business.

34- What are meant Amazon Order Management and Amazon Customer and Seller Support?

Answer

Amazon Order Management

FBM order management:

• Order and shipping.

• Invoicing.

• Return Management.

• In the seller central you will go to the order management and then you will find 1-buy
shipping which means that Amazon have collaborated with some shipping companies and you
can choose between those companies and ask them to ship that product for you.

• Then comes the 2-Confirm Payment which means confirm payment nothing special in
that.

• And the final option is Upload Invoices it is usually done in UK but some say that it is also
implemented in USA. Invoice means that the receipt of the good you have sent. It is not a
common practice among sellers but if your client asks for it then you can do it. This is a
 necessary step in the business order but the orders which you will usually receive will be
Residential orders. In the Amazon you will create a template and then you will include the price
of the product and the shipping charges along with the dimension of the packaging including the
tracking ID and the courier.

• Order Detail is the area where you will find all the information regarding your order. It will
include your Order date, shipping date and your delivery date. It also shows your channel i.e.
UK, USA. One thing must be noted here that all the above settings are configured by you. You
will decide that when you will ship and deliver the products.

according to the policies of his country. You have to engage with your client in giving him the
information like you have received the order or not. Do you like the product or not.

have only 24 hours to reply to him and resolve his issue or clear whatever the misconception
client has. This has no holiday and you have to reply the customer I 24 hours no matter what

Central>>Manage inventory>>Send/Replenish Inventory. Then you need to put the address from
where you’re going to ship your products from. Then you also need to specify your Product type
i.e. whether it is an individual package or Case packed product in which you put different
products in one box.

• When you will select the shipment plan you will also state the number of boxes and
number of unit per boxes then you have to decide who will be responsible to handle your
product’s other needs like packaging and necessities. Now you can also do this on your own or
you can get Amazon to do it. Then if your inventory is large enough it will tell you three to four
places where you have to send your products of course depending upon the size of it.

• Then after that you have to select the shipping service. Like SPD (small packed delivery) which
means that you are shipping individual boxes. Or you can go for LTL (less than truckload) which
means that you have breakable item and you are sending your shipment on Pallets and the
minimum weight for this shipment should be 150LB (pounds).

36- What is meant by Gated Categories? How we can ungate them?

Answer

Gated (Restricted) Categories

Gated means in which they are restricted by Amazon that is not sold on Amazon If we want to sell it. We
need a certificate from the authority. Following is the list of Gated Categories:

• Food
• Beauty
• Medical Items
• Automotive & Power
• Collectible Coins
• Entertainment Collectibles
• Music & DVD
• Major Appliances, Sports Collectibles
• Streaming Media Players Video
• DVD
• Sports Collectibles
• Watches

Ungate Gated Categories

Step 1: Create a Wholesaler Account

Right off the top, you’ll need a wholesaler account with a shipping address that matches the one on your
Amazon account. If you have an LLC name and it’s different from your Amazon name, use both.

Step 2: Purchase a Few Products

Find different products (i.e. different ASINs on each) in three different categories (Beauty; Health and
Personal Care; and Grocery and Gourmet Food) and place orders for 10 of each of them. For example,
you could order cookies, shampoo, and multivitamins, giving you a different product in each category.
When buying, remember your goal is to get ungated and not necessarily to make a profit on these items.

Step 3: Scan the Invoices

While waiting for the invoices to arrive, make sure all your personal information is correct. And once the
invoices arrive, keep them separate and do not make marks on the originals. Any additions you do
should be on copies, not the originals.

Scanning them is the easiest way of going about it, but you can also take pictures of them. If you choose
that option, make sure you shoot in enough light, have hi-res photos, and edit them after for brightness
and clarity, if needed.

Note: If the invoices don’t include your seller name at the top, add it in before scanning. As well, write
the ASIN, UPC, and item model number for each product on the invoice. It’s also good to note that if
you’re trying to get ungated in Shoes; Clothing and Accessories; Luggage and Travel; or Handbags and
Sunglasses, you’ll need to submit images instead of invoices.

Step 4: Send in Your Request

You can find the selling applications on the categories you want to sell in. Once you do that, simply send
in your application and wait for a response, which can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. To
increase your chances of getting a (faster) response, send in your application during normal business
hours.

Once You Get Your Response

• If successful, congratulations! And time to start making listings so you can sell items.
• If unsuccessful, that’s alright. You’ll get a reason for the rejection, which should serve as a
guideline for the improvements you need to make before re-applying. Some of the most
common reasons include getting your metrics into better shape so you can prove you’re a
quality seller.

If you could not ungate categoy then use the following link to ungate Gated Categories:

 Answer

Understanding (Brands, Wholesalers & Suppliers)

Manufacturer / Brand

• Benefits: Less Price than their distributors – High profit – Loan Facilities (After some good
relations) – Small orders through their websites – Easy to open wholesale accounts on other
brands – Enable to deal in Wholesale & Retail – Can allow suppliers to resell as well - Easy to
compete on Amazon.

• Downside: Can’t be started with less money as they always have high requirements like buy
high qty like from $5k or $10k – Sign yearly base agreement that you will must buy minimum
$100k stock within a year from them – Most of disadvantages in terms of investments related
issues.

Wholesalers

• Benefits: Many Brands – Big Collection of Products - Less requirements for account opening -
No/ MOR (Minimum Order Requirement).

• Downside: Little high price than brands – Little High Competition (If they allow everyone to
resell) – Slow replies on email (As they always have so many emails to reply).

Suppliers
• Benefits: Many Brands – Big Collection of items – Easy account opening – No MOR Invoice works
for Amazon.

• Downside: High prices even than wholesaler (as they buy from wholesalers) – High competition
– Sometime little risky if they can’t provide you authorize letter or invoices from brand or
wholesaler which can be acceptable on Amazon.

Search Brand – Wholesaler - Supplier

Search on Google by typing with Quotes like “BRAND NAME” or “BRAND NAME Wholesaler” in USA and
UK.

profitable when selling on Amazon.

like Wal-Mart – Amazon – Ebay – Sears etc if so then skip that brand as mostly these kind
brands do not work with small resellers or small businesses but you can try too.

47- What is meant by Dropshipping and how to do it?

Answer
 Dropshipping

Traditionally, retailers keep an inventory of the products they offer on hand, often purchasing these
products in bulk at a wholesale price from a manufacturer. Dropshipping eliminates the step of keeping
inventory, instead enabling the seller to purchase wholesale products individually and then sell these for
a profit online.

Ecommerce websites such as Ebay,Amazon allow sellers to place their listings in front of a large
audience with minimal processing fees.

How to do Dropshipping

• Find an online supplier who has the products you want to sell
• Show the supplier’s products with marked up prices on your website and advertise them
• Redirect the orders to your suppliers and pay them their original price. Keep the profits to
yourself!
• Do nothing: the supplier will ship the order directly to your clients
• Receive direct payment from the customers who buy from your website

48- How to do Amazon Dropshipping?

Answer

Amazon Dropshipping

Set up an Amazon seller account

In order to sell on Amazon, you will need an Amazon seller account. You can get one by going to
sellercentral.amazon.com. There, Amazon will offer you two choices for the type of account that you
can start with: individual and professional.

Find a high-demand/low-competition product

Next, you will need to find a product to sell on Amazon.

You can do this by using a tool like Jungle Scout’s Opportunity Finder to find high-demand/low-
competition product opportunities. And while you may have your own metrics to use for finding such
products, I recommend starting with the following criteria:

• 100-300 unit sales per month

 • Set competition to “very low” to “low”
• Fix the average monthly price from $20-$35
• Set niche score to 7+

This should give you an excellent number of product opportunities to peruse in all categories.

Also, when starting out, I recommend keeping things simple. Housewares, sports & outdoors, and patio,
home, & garden are all great categories for beginners because they tend to be low maintenance.

Check a site like Aliexpress to see if the product is available

Once you have some product ideas, you will need to find a supplier.

The biggest connection to dropshipping products is Aliexpress. It’s a business-to-business website that
puts e-commerce entrepreneurs in touch with suppliers who are looking to dropship their goods.

Just type in the search terms for the product that you are interested in selling and, just like Amazon, a
variety of products will come up.

Once you click on one, you’re provided with a number of details. In the above example, you can see that
the notebook/agenda planner costs $3.22 with free shipping into the US (and shipping is free).

The seller also offers 60-Day Buyer Protection on the product. (Be sure to note the delivery time,
however, which is more than a month out!)

Create an Amazon listing

After you have a product idea and a supplier to fulfill that product, you’ll need to create an Amazon
product listing.

From your Seller Central account, go to Inventory > Add a product. When the Add a Product screen
comes up, click “Create a new product listing.”

First, you will need to choose your product category. Then, once you’ve done that, you’ll have to fill out
the information for the listing itself.

When setting a price for your dropshipped product doesn't forget to account for Amazon’s fees. If you
are a professional seller, you will pay a referral fee of 8-15% depending on the category. Individual
sellers pay an additional $1.00 per sale, too.

You can learn more about Amazon’s fees by category on their Selling on Amazon fee schedule.

Finally, as soon as you’re ready, you can publish your listing and start making sales.

50- What is E-bay Dropshipping?

Answer

Ebay Dropshipping

Set Up Your eBay Seller Account

Setting up your account takes just a few minutes, but there are some important steps that many online
sellers overlook.

• Pay attention to eBay’s seller information center, which contains useful links and guidelines for
setting up your store.
• Choose your account name wisely. Crude or offensive usernames might drive customers away
(and violate eBay username policy), while clever or catchy names might lead to better sales.
 • eBay may require a tax ID for seller accounts. A quick Google search will tell you how to apply
for a tax ID in your state, or you can see our article on how to get a tax ID.
• Set up your payment method. These methods vary by country, but all U.S. sellers are required to
have either a PayPal account or a merchant credit card account.
• Set up your profile page with details about your shop and its policies, including shipping and
return policies. Detailing your background and credentials can be useful for certain niche
markets (electronics, makeup, etc.).

Find a Supplier

A successful eBay dropshipping business comes down to quality customer service and the right supplier.
You might choose to source local suppliers, or to find wholesale suppliers online.

When choosing a supplier, consider these key factors:

• What shipping methods does the supplier offer? Are there options for expedited shipping?
• How long does an order typically take to ship? Suppliers that can’t guarantee their delivery
times put you at risk of having dissatisfied customers.
• Will they ship worldwide, or only to specific countries? You could be limiting your customer base
without expanded shipping options.
• How do they conduct quality control? Poor quality can lead to poor reviews.
• Can you use their source material (photos, specs, product descriptions) in your
listings? Professional-style images and descriptions can give a boost to your sales.
• Once you’ve selected your suppliers, contact them. Let them know you’d like to become a
retailer for their products and ask about their policies on dropshipping.

Choose Your Products

This step may come before or after Step 1, depending on what you want your store to be. You might
already have a specific product niche in mind, or you might need to conduct some research to
determine what’s selling right now..

Here are some examples of the best items to drop ship on eBay:

• Printed Socks
• Bluetooth Headphones
• Organic Tea
• Vaporizers and E-Cigarettes
• Waterproof Bag
• Resistance Bands
• Baby Carrier

Create Your Listings

Using the information provided by your supplier, create your eBay listings for each product. Factors such
as pricing, timing and auction vs. Buy It Now can all be determined through a bit of product research on
websites such as eBay, Amazon and other major online retailers.

Manage and Maintain

Now that you’ve got your eBay listings, it’s time to make money!

Start building a positive reputation by fulfilling your orders as quickly as possible, and check in with your
supplier on a weekly or even daily basis to make sure everything is running the way it should.

Remove listings for discontinued or out-of-stock items and replace them with new products regularly.

Respond to customer complaints and inquiries promptly and professionally, and do your best to create a
positive experience that will build loyalty and encourage repeat customers.

Freelancing

Essentially, a freelance job is one where a person works for themselves, rather than for a company.
While freelancers do take on contract work for companies and organizations, they are ultimately self-

Let’s Start..

Do not start with a highly saturated niche. Make your gig focus on a sub-niche.

For example; Instead of creating a gig on "I will be your Amazon Virtual Assistant," create a gig on I will
be your Professional Amazon Virtual Assistant."

Purpose behind selecting a sub-niche

Write "Amazon Virtual Assistant" on the Fiverr search bar and you will find around 6200 results. Now
write a “Professional Amazon Virtual Assistant”, you will find around 1973 results.

Now, it depends on you how you find a sub-niche that is neither too saturated nor dry.

Note: Do not forget to edit your SEO title after saving your gig once.

55. How to Target multiple categories in one title?

Answer

Multiple Keywords

Try to use two different but relevant keywords in your title. Why? You might have seen one same gig
ranking on multiple keywords. How are they doing it? This is the trick.
For example: “I will be your professional amazon virtual assistant” and “I will be your expert amazon
virtual assistant.”

Now, you will rank on both keywords, assume you are getting orders on one keyword, automatically
your same gig will start boosting on the other keyword as well.

56. Which tags should you add?

Answer

Tags

Again use the Fiverr search bar, and write your main keyword, use the relevant suggestions as your tags.
Or look your competitor’s tags.

57. How to write gig description?

Answer

Gig Description

Use your main keywords twice and sub-keywords once or twice in your description and complete your
intro/expertise in 1/2 sentences and uses the rest in explaining what you can do for the client. Bullet
point all the things you will provide them(don't worry much about the description 80% buyer don't
even read it).
 58. How to rank your gig with VVRO orders?

Answer

VVRO Orders

Never buy order from low tier countries profiles and a $5-$10 order. Why? High tier countries profiles
have more worth (long buying history of the buyer also effects). The ranking of your gig also depends on
the average order value of the searched keyword as well.

For example: If the gigs around you are getting $50/per order on average and you buy a $10 one.

Do you think you will rank?

Of course not! Soon, you will see your gig on the last page.

Insight: Direct orders boost your ranking as compared to custom orders. Want a quick boost? Assume
your basic package is for $10, and your medium package is for $50. Instead of directly buying the
medium package, convince your buyer to increase the quantity of the basic package. $10 x 5 = $50.
Tested this method trice; always work. (Your gig ranking will sky rocket)

59. Why Be Online every time?

Answer

Be Online
You might have seen many people saying that they are online all the time but cannot see their gigs in
the search list or not getting orders.

Stop using extensions and other tricks; they won't work at all. Do you want to try? Open your seller
dashboard and turn on the extension. Check after an hour or two. Now, look closely next to your big
profile pic; you won't find the "Online" tag there. Are you still seeing it? Now, check your small profile
pic (right next to switch to buying). When you are online, a small green dot appears; it's black when you
are not. In this case, it will be black.

The small dot must be green; after every 10-15 minutes, refresh your pages manually and visit other
pages as well.

Before proceeding towards the main topic, let me clear, some aspects from the previous post.

First, please, do not be a Lakeer ka Fakeer; my responsibility is to share strategies and insights with you
and clear your concepts with examples. But some people are considering those examples as Pathar par
Lakeer. You have to optimize my given strategies as per your Gigs.

Second, all the aspects/strategies are interconnected; you have to focus on all of them. For the quantity
increasing strategy, if I gave an example of $10 x 5. It does not mean all of you have to do the same. The
service cost and quantity depend on your gigs and competition. A small tip, use this strategy when the
service value is 2x / 3x more than your premium package. Assume, my premium package is for $60 and
Basic for $20. Moreover, my client wants services worth $160. So, I will request him to buy a basic
package of $20 x 8. (Do not forget to evaluate the average order value of your competitions.)

60. How to force the buyer to click on your gig?

Answer
 Force Buyer

The two things that force a Buyer to click on your gigs are your title and your gig image. Your title must
be highly converting and as per your niche.

For example, I will create a 7 figure Shopify Dropshipping One product Store.

That "7 Figure" word will shake your client.

Before clicking on your Gig, the main thing that persuades your Buyer is your gig image.

Now, do something for me, search for your main keyword, now starting looking at all gigs in front of
you. By looking, I mean a quick gaze. Keep on gazing all the gigs, don't stop until a gigs image makes you
stop. Did you stop at a gig? Perfect! This is the one, and this is the design and color combination you are
looking for.

Tip: Use light Background colors (yellow, light green, orange) with highlighting patterns. I am attaching
two samples, one is from Fiverr and one I quickly created (of course experimented the designs and its
sells very well)

Note: Please, don't spam these designs, do some research on your own as well and find better ones for
reference.

61. How to force the buyer to buy your premium package?

Answer

Premium Package

Use a good pricing strategy, same as popcorn corners at cinemas do. Small for $5, Medium for $15, and
Large for $20. It will increase your average order value.
How to charge more for your services?

Do you want to charge more? I want you to build some Gurda. Why do you think a fancy restaurant
charges 5x price? Because they are providing luxury to their clients. You have to do the same.

Stop saying; I can do this, what’s your budgets, please give me an order, etc. etc.

Carefully, read the requirements of your client communicate with him/her, share your thoughts, share
your strategies, show him/her how valuable you are, share non-deniable ideas with him/her. Charges
and Delivery time etc. must be your last priority.

Note: Act like a confident person and call him by his name (or Sir/Mam, if the client is not from the UK).

Now, when the client asks about your charges and delivery time, you must be crystal clear and
professional.

For example: For XYZ service I charge $50 + 3 days delivery if you want to avail express delivery with 1/2
days that would be an extra $40. Please state your fast delivery add-ons and other add-ons as well.

Important Note: Whenever you go shopping an expert salesman will always ask what do you want and if
you say a jacket and a T-shirt. He will always take you towards the jacket first. Want to know why?
Because the jacket is more expensive than a T-shirt. Once you have bought the jacket, you won't
consider the price of the t-shirt too much. Wanna know why, its human psychology. But if you will buy a
t-shirt first and then go for the jacket, you will think that you are spending a lot of money. 80% chances,
you will back off. The same goes here, do not offer an add-on that has more cost than the actual order.

Note: Do not negotiate, unless you think it’s a long term client. Respectfully, deny their offer if it's below
to what you charge. Such an attitude will give surety to the client that you know the worth of your skills
and don't want to lose it. So, he will dig deeper into his pockets.

62. How to place an order?

 Answer

Place an Order

Many buyers are new to the platform, and they don't know how to use it, even if they have a buying
history. Please use this:

Once, you have decided on the budget and delivery time and know it is the time to place the order. Do
two things.

Give him proper instructions on how to place an order directly.

For Example 1. Click on this link XYZ (your Gig). 2. Select the package with the discussed amount and
time. 3. Please submit your requirements once again, so Fiverr can have a record of it. 4. And make the
payment; please keep in mind, Fiverr has an escrow system, so I will only receive the payment when the
order is marked as complete by you.

2) Or to save you from the hassle, I can create a custom offer in the chat so you can accept it directly.
Create the offer and write "Offer Created" in the chat.

63. Why Do Not Act Like A Bot?

Answer

Do Not act like a bot

Foreign clients are usually fond of communicating with customer supports and professional company
employees. So, doesn’t just reply to their messages in Okay, yes, got it. You must always reply
adequately. It will show how professional you are.
Now, you are providing luxury to your client. Once, the order is placed, go to the order page and again
write a message that states: "Thanks for the order, i have everything i need etc."

Moreover, I want you to keep your client updated. There is one major flaw in buying an online service
80% of them don't keep you up to date. I don't want you to make the same mistake.

After you have delivered the order, shoot a message to the buyer again, this time not on the order page.
"Your order has been delivered etc. Now again guide him with steps, how to get the delivery, how to
accept, and share your valuable feedback.

Once, you have received the feedback, don't wait, shoot a message again “Thank you for your valuable
feed, would love to work with you again in future."

Don’t Forget To Upsell:

In your delivery message, add links to your relevant gigs.

For Example, You have hunted a product for your Buyer; attach gig links of sourcing, trademark, etc.
along with some persuading text.

Goras Love Offers:

Try to combine multiple services you offer and sell them in a bundle and give a small discount on it.
Mention the cost of each service and mention your discount percentage on it as well.

Moreover, during Christmas, text your good clients and give them small discounts.

Charge More:

Once you have started getting daily orders and responses from new clients, please increase your
services charges and keep on increasing it, bit by bit and be the most expensive seller of the relevant
keyword.

64. How to provide undeniable services?

 Answer

Undeniable Services

Learn To Say No:

Please, learn to say no. Trust me; these Gora's will love your honesty. Even they will beg for your service
that you are so honest and straight forward, they will request you to even try for once.

After following Part 3, you already have 90% chances of satisfying your client, now do one more thing. I
want you to screen record your output and explain everything. What you did, why you did this, which
strategies did you used (Don't tell them how), and most important also mention what you did extra for
them. Mention it in both video and your delivery text. It will put your client under the process of
Reciprocation (will discuss it later). It will give you a high chance of getting a tip and more orders.

Reciprocation:

Put him under your debt, make him feel that he owes you. Usually, you have seen in our desi culture "
usney merey liye ye kia merey sarr pr boje hai, mey isko utaru gha" It’s the same for them. They will
lower this burden by giving you time or making you the go-to freelancer.

65. What to do with the clients that have small tasks and small budget?

Answer

Small Tasks

If your average order value is $50, then please don't take $5 orders. On the other hand, use the
reciprocation method again. Put the client under your debt, tell him; "it will affect your profile etc so as
a sign a gesture you will do it for free" (use some emotional words).

Here you go; the client has your burden on his head.
Insights:

1. If you have bought a service from Fiverr, then you would have experienced that Fiverr
privately send you to give another feedback on the service of the seller and it won't be public,
etc. etc. As per my knowledge, that feedback directly relates to your ranking Because it says how
much value you provide to your client.

2. Sometimes, I had experienced that your Gig ranks according to countries as well. I
experienced it when I was buying VVRO from the USA. I told my cousin that my Gig is on the
second page and on this row (I was getting orders but still wanted to see myself on the first page
and first row). But when he searched for the keywords, I was on the first page, tested it multiple
times. So, i predicted countries also matter because sometimes, i am getting straight USA buyers
and sometimes there are no USA buyers and only Saudia and UK, even i see the same ranking. If
you are also getting continuous orders, try to focus on this aspect.

Important: Don't worry, there are many wealthy clients on Fiverr, and those clients do not prefer cheap
services. So, do not even let such thought come into your mind that who will pay me this much.

66. How to send non deniable buyer requests?

Answer

Send Non Deniable Requests

What do you think I get in response? Copy Pasted templates, I am damn sure 80-90% won't even read
the posts properly.
If you want to write a working template, get rid of this irritating habit and follow the strategies below:

1. First, read the post carefully, determine that you can do it or not. (Don't send request, if you
are not sure)

2. Don't write a long letter; if you want to do it, stop right here. Rest can move ahead.

3. Write about what your buyer wants, discuss those things; give him a hint about his
query/problem. Discuss what he wants. In the end, write about your experience "I can solve this
irritating problem because i have 6 years of experience in xyz and solving this one is a piece of
cake for me". Let me clear more with an example; a couple of months back, I was having an issue
with a WordPress theme. I posted a request for how to do this with this theme, etc.? Received
around 30 requests and none of them even wrote the theme's name, except one. He gave me a
glimpse of how he can solve it. That small glimpse forced me to hire him.

4. Use 1/2 emoji in your post; it's the same as like getting right gig image. When the buyer is
scrolling tons of requests, your emoji will attract him. (Don’t spam emoji’s)

5. Keep your request short and highly targeted. I don't want a long paragraph. Break a
paragraph after 3-4 sentences. (It gives better visibility)

67. How to understand the strategies?

Answer

Understand Strategies

Please try to understand that all the strategies are somehow interconnected and dependent on each
other. Don't just assume in your mind you will do this and that.
Pick a paper and pencil, draw a diagram, interconnect the aspects with each other, check where each
strategy could apply, which aspect is affected by which strategy, etc.

Don't think that only getting VVROs will boost your ranking. If you are avoiding the order factors, then
forget about ranking.

Note: It will only feel difficult the first time; once you have implemented it properly, you won't need
that diagram anymore.

Insights: Try to be online during 12:00 AM to 5:00 AM, higher chances of getting orders because buyers
usually filter sellers by "online". Moreover, also use your buyer requests during this period. (Dont text
me with messages like “I cannot stay up this long, what i should do? Ap Sabar karein phr aur kisi aur ko
agey niklney ka mokaw dein", your competitors will wait for your unavailability, so their chances can
increase.

68. How to scale your Freelancing career?

Answer

Once you have followed all my previous strategies, tips, and tricks, you will reach a point where you
cannot handle clients after a specific threshold.

69. How to build a strong and trust able team?

Answer

Build a Team
If you are getting 2-4 orders a day and 5-10+ messages from new buyers, then it is time for you to
expand. You have to make a team filled with confident and wise people. Keep in mind; you have to act
as their leader, not as their Boss. If you a habit of being a boss, then forget about this post; please move
on.

How to Hire the Right Person:

Now how I hired other individuals, always hire a wise person who can use his/her mind. Who are not
ready to lose the worth of their skills (in short, don't work at lower rates). Moreover, who keep work as
their priority and don't make excuses like, "mehman agaye they, ye ho geya, wo ho geya."

If you find a person with initial skills but have the above qualities, hire him/her. Give one hour of your
time daily for a few weeks, and here you go. My teammates also learned with time; they were not born
as a pro.

Note: After creating a great team, stop working by yourself; now your responsibility is to handle the
clients and deliver them quality output, nothing else.

How to earn the loyalty of your teammates:

• I want you to pay them more than market rates; if you don't do this, you will never
create a trustworthy team.
• Act like a leader, not a Boss.
• Help them at every step.
• Provide them absolute comfort that no other employer can.
• Respect them, even if they screw a few times.

Keep in mind; an employer never scales a business the employees does, if your teammates would not be
happy; don't expect your self-employment to scale.

Most Important Point: One thing that I hate the most, 90% of employers don't pay their freelancers on
time. I'm not too fond of this fact; I don't care if your client paid you are not or whatever the reason is,
pay your freelancer after a task is complete. Or if you have an agreement of weekly or monthly pay, and
then fulfill it on time.

Which individual should you never hire:

1. Who doesn't know the worth of their skills and work at any price.

2. Who don't trust their instincts and don't have the guts to move forward.
