BOC FIVER CLASS

[27/06 8:05 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: Let's talk about Fiverr today
[27/06 8:07 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: I was prompted to learn more about Fiverr in 2015 when a
friend of mine was making it real big on Fiverr!

In fact, as of that year, he had made more than a million naira writing CVs and cover letter for
foreign clients

And so I also took up the challenge to learn and also study more.

*I will be teaching you most of the things I learnt*

[27/06 8:07 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: Fiverr is from the word five-err

It was basically created for people (freelancers) to get jobs or gigs from 5 dollars upwards.

And for buyers to get their work done at cheap fees.

Even though Fiverr orders start from $5, it does not mean that your services must start from $5.

In fact, some services have basic packages from $200

[27/06 8:07 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: There are lots of services you can offer on fiverr.

There is graphics design, web dev, business dev, animation, writing etc.

But for the purpose of this training, we will be focusing on copywriting

[27/06 8:07 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: Every 5 seconds, an order is made on fiverr

They are millions and millions of buyers on fiverr

[27/06 8:08 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: There are some tips to creating a Fiverr account. We will talk
about it much later.
[27/06 8:13 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: *What are the advantages of Fiverr?*
[27/06 8:13 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: *1. You can start with zero capital*

You don't need money to start. No registration fee whatsoever.

Creating an account is as simple as creating a Facebook account.

Entry is very easy compared to other freelancing sites like Upwork..

On Upwork, you need to answer some strict questions and if you don't have the script to the right
answers, it won't be accepted
[27/06 8:13 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: *2. It's a perfect work from home platform.*

I've seen people who bought cars from their Fiverr earnings working from the comfort of their
homes, in their boxers, on the comfort of their beds

Example is me minus the car sha😁😁

[27/06 8:13 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: I don't need to work for anyone. My Fiverr earnings will
cripple what some government workers make.

Plus, it gives me time to serve God. I can go for any service I want at any time I want to knowing
that I can come back to write articles early in the morning
[27/06 8:13 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: We all need the money and the time to serve God and pursue
purpose

It is a curse to chase money all your life!

You duty is to settle money quick and do the things you love and money will come calling
naturally..
[27/06 8:19 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: *3. You deal with Americans or foreigners who at least know
the value of your skill.*
[27/06 8:19 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: With due respect to our country Nigeria, we are underpaid..

When I deal with Fiverr clients, I charge between $10-$20 for 500 words (that's like 3600 for
500 words) but in Naija, some clients can price you for N500 for 1000 words. 😂😂

It's the weakness of the naira

[27/06 8:19 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: *4. Jobs are constant and consistent on fiverr*

Every five seconds, a Fiverr order is made.

Seriously, *if you know your onions, you will eat your suya*

Get used to that quote above in bold, I will be using a lot

[27/06 8:19 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: Fiverr is global, buyers are global.

Its a global market place

You are a global citizen o

I don't want to ever hear Buhari did this in your mouth..
I will just slap you if you are close to me..

[27/06 8:24 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: Opening a fiverr account is as simple as opening any social
media account..

But.. Here are some rules you should consider especially for the writing niche..
[27/06 8:25 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: *Always choose a username related to what you want to
offer on fiverr.*.in this case writing.

Under writing, I'd go for names like writing_guru, content_king, Copywriter_Jane etc
[27/06 8:25 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: This helps your buyer identify with you even before they
contact you.

You should know that no two persons can use the same username.. You have to be creative..
[27/06 8:25 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: You are to complete your registration as *a seller.*

You are coming to sell.. But you can still use the a account to buy later
[27/06 8:25 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: You are a seller.. The people who buy are the buyers
[27/06 8:25 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: Make sure the phone number you are making use of will be
with you for a long time.. This is because when it is time for payment, you will be doing phone
verification 😊
[27/06 8:25 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: *No code, no money*
[27/06 8:30 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: *One of the best kept secrets of Fiverr success is modelling.*
[27/06 8:30 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: *If you model the best, you will soon become the best.*
[27/06 8:30 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: This rule is so essential in life too

The law of copy and change

[27/06 8:30 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: To be successful is simple o..

Just copy a person of success in the area you desire success

[27/06 8:30 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: I promise you, this one principle alone can make you
millions on fiverr
[27/06 8:30 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: Fiverr profile hacking..
[27/06 8:30 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: On fiverr, check out the top guys in the writing niche, those
guys with mad reviews.(top sellers) Check their profiles and model after them..
[27/06 8:30 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: Edit their work.. Please don't copy verbatim o.. Just see how
they powerfully crafted theirs and model yours after theirs
[27/06 8:30 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: If you set your profile like the pros, set your gig like the pros,
you will get the results of the pros
[27/06 8:34 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: *Quickly.. What are some of the words you should know on
fiverr..?*
[27/06 8:34 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: *1 Buyer:*

A registered user who can purchase gigs on Fiverr

Some people prefer to register as just buyers.

They don't offer any services; they are just there to buy.

Fiverr even rates some of them as Top Buyers

[27/06 8:34 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: Buyers got the money

They make things happen on fiverr

Never get into an issue with a buyer, fiverr will always support them..

Why?

They supply the cash

[27/06 8:34 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: *2 Seller:*

Someone who offers gigs up for sale, just like you will be.
There are also lots of sellers, so you must learn to distinguish yourself and take a portion of the
market

Fiverr is called a market place for a reason...

There are people who come to buy and people who come strictly to sell..

As a seller, you must come with goods..

Those goods are your skills.. In the place, Copywriting..

If you don't have goods (a skill), nobody buys from you, you are just there for window
shopping..
3 Gig This is any service offered by sellers on Fiverr which a buyer can purchase

A gig always starts with *I will*...................

_I will write a well-researched SEO blog article in 24 hours._

_I will write a high converting product description for your ecommerce store_

I will talk more about gigs and how to create one soon..

Today is dedicated to that..

[27/06 8:39 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: *4 Order:*

When a buyer purchases a Gig, it is considered an order.

An order comes with its order number and it is one of the sweetest notifications to get from
Fiverr.

But it is sweeter when you deliver and your seller marks your order as complete.. 😍😍

And gives you a 5 star review and a tip 😘😘

[27/06 8:39 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: *5. Response rate:*

This shows how quickly you respond to the first message from a buyer within the first 24 hours.

You need to respond very fast to buyers.

That is why I recommend you stay online always (with their app) and respond very fast to
clients when they make enquiry.
[27/06 8:39 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: *6 Revenue:*

This is the money that you earn from sales of your gig.

Fiverr takes 20% and give you 80%.

Fiverr takes 1 dollar from every 5$ you make.

That's their commission😉

[27/06 8:39 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: *7. Reviews*

After you've delivered a job. The buyer is requested to give you a review..

Reviews are like feedbacks and they are always published on your profile.
The more your positive (5 star reviews), the more people will feel comfortable to do business
with you..
I don't joke with my work and reviews oo🙂
[27/06 8:39 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: So after you've created your account and done all the
descriptions, *the next thing is to create a gig*
[27/06 8:39 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: We've said it that a gig is any service you can offer on fiverr

As a writer you can decide to..

Write SEO blog articles..

Write product descriptions..

Rewrite articles..

Write email copies..

Write web content..

[27/06 8:39 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: *As a new seller, you can create 7 gigs

[27/06 8:42 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: *Pricing*

You have an option of Three price packages.

BASIC, STANDARD & PREMIUM

Again, remember the rule 1 of Fiverr? Always check what the gurus are doing
So before you set your price, check what the masters collect and bring your own down small.. 

If the masters are taking $20 for 1,000 words, start from $10 first. It will get you jobs too. when
you get enough reviews, orders and you become known, you can increase it
[27/06 8:42 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: *Overview*

The first page of a gig is the overview.

The overview contains the gig title, cartegory, metadata and tags
*Gig title*: _I will do something I'm really good at._

Put your gig title there... *I will* is always on default and cannot be erased. Don't put I will
again.

I will Write a Powerful Blog Post for Your BLOG

SEO Tips, start each letter with a capital letter. Make one of the word full CAPS.

E.g. I will Write a Powerful Blog Post for Your BLOG

[27/06 8:42 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: There are six steps to creating your gig.

1.Overview

2. Pricing

3. Description & FAQ

4. Requirement

5. Gallery

6. Publish
[27/06 8:42 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: Under Requirement, ask them to drop what you will need to
get started.

Their topic, links, docs

[27/06 8:42 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: After pricing, it is *description/ frequently asked questions*

Don't forget our first law of Fiverr: *Model the pros*. You can always open three profiles in
different tabs and see what they did

Describe your gig so well that anyone who reads it will run with your order

I've given you some lessons on copywriting, follow it.

Remember what we said about FAQs, ask and answer questions that will build trust..

You must not put FAQ sha, it’s not by force but if you want to, again I say, model the pros.

Always leave a call to action on your description. _If you love to get started, order the gig now_
[27/06 8:42 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: *Gallery*

That's where you need to fix your gig image. you can get some good and very clean pictures
from pixabay.com
All the pictures there are free. Just get something related to your gig.

If you are good at designs or you have a friend who is, you can get a simple design and put it.

There is also a place for video. if you have the grace, record yourself talking about your gig..
[27/06 8:42 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: After gallery is *publish*

That one doesn't need too much explanation. 

Fiverr will publish your gig and make it live.

Your gig will be sent into the market place and you can start expecting clients.

[27/06 8:45 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: *How do you get clients on Fiverr?*

_First, don't create just one gig._

Make sure you create at least 5 gigs. I’ll always advice you to max out the 7 allocations as a new

seller.

You don't know which one could get favored and pushed up by Fiverr algorithm.
[27/06 8:45 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: Create a minimum five gigs.
Also, it is possible to create a gig in writing and another in a different category entirely (e.g.
design or

web development).

You are not confined to one niche.

*But for the purpose of our niche, let's continue with writing.*
[27/06 8:45 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: *If you want to get jobs quickly, stay online always with
your app.*

The first app I open when I on my data is my Fiverr app.

Most buyers like it when they see people they want to work with online.

The more you stay online with your app, the better your chances of getting a job.

Staying online also improves your response rate.

The better your response rate, the more fiverr believes you will answer buyers and the more
buyers they send your way.
[27/06 8:47 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: *As a new seller, you can also get jobs by writing to the top
guys in your niche.*
They have lots of job to do and if you impress them with your samples, they will gladly share
articles with you.

You see, an average top rated seller in the writing niche has over 20-40 orders in queue.

My very first account, I got a $100 job using this strategy. She tested me with 5$, I delivered, she
did with $20, I delivered well and she gave me 30 product descriptions for $100.

I delivered it so well and I became her favorite go to guy.

[27/06 8:47 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: You see, the top guys are always having overload of work
and one of the ways to get started on

fiverr is to get jobs from them to build your portfolio and reviews
[27/06 8:47 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: That's just a sample.☝

But please, don't go the extreme in sending this to everyone.

You will be blocked in flying colors. 😁

[27/06 8:47 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: See a sample of what you can send..

Hello,

My name is Jane and I’m so proud of how you have become so successful on Fiverr..
I looked through your profile with so much amazement and I read your reviews with
astonishment.

Seeing the large number of jobs, you get, I want to humbly ask that you outsource some of your

writings to me.

I promise to deliver high quality articles that will be 100% unique and pass copyscape.

I will also deliver in record time, giving you time to concentrate on other important tasks and
family.

I have samples and I am willing to write on any topic for free to get started.
[27/06 8:49 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: Another way to get jobs is to apply for jobs with the buyer
request feature on fiverr.

The buyer request feature as the name entails is where buyers request for services from sellers by
posting specifically what they want.

I've gotten lots of jobs from buyer request.

It’s about writing a good proposal explaining how you can solve their problem with your skill.

Again, If you know your onions in Copywriting, life becomes easy everywhere...even on buyer
requests.
If you have not created a gig, you won't see buyer request.
[27/06 8:50 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: *Another way to get clients and keep them is by upselling.*

Bring them in with the $5 jobs, when they come, sell the big and better things to them.

Magnet them with the $5 jobs first. When they come, suggest your big jobs to them.

I have a gig where I give 25 blog post ideas for just $5 and 50 for $10.

Most people like this gig.

When they come, I will over deliver in record time.

Before they go, I will tell them that I also write o.

I will show them my samples and viola, I have them.

Use a low ticket gig to pull people in.

[27/06 8:51 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: Other tips for keeping clients.

Always deliver far above what you've promised them.

I've kept 90% of my clients.

Go the extra mile and do the things they didn't ask you to do. But you know will be useful to the

work.

Don't over package and under deliver.

Under promise and over deliver.

[27/06 8:51 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: Please deliver on time.
I always deliver 5 hours before my delivery time gets exhausted.
I've never gone below 5 hours.

This earns me more positive reviews and jobs

[27/06 8:53 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: I have a PayPal account that receives and sends money from
Nigeria
[27/06 8:53 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: I have someone who created mine, if you are interested in
getting yours, he does it at a small fee. 👏🏼
[27/06 8:53 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: The two major ways to withdraw on fiverr is through PayPal
and Payoneer
[27/06 8:55 pm] Prof Emma Akp2: To register on Payoneer, go to www.payoneer.com.

Opening an account is very simple.

Follow these instructions.
• Use your name as it is on your official ID cards.
• National ID, voter’s card et al.
• When you put your shipping address for the card delivery, always put your phone number in
the address For example.
Plot 100
Trans Amadi,
Port Harcourt,
Rivers State.
Please call: 07012345678.
This is important because it will be sent to a post office around you.
And those guys will not call you if your number is not included.
When your card comes, just activate it online and voila.
