HOW TO ORDER ON FIVERR


First things first, you need to create a Fiverr buyer’s account.

Like any other marketplace, if you’re buying on Fiverr for the first
time, you need to sign up for a buyer’s account. On most platforms,
both buyer and seller need to create an account.

By default, all newly created accounts on Fiverr are buyer’s accounts.


You can later create your seller’s account after the buyer’s account has
been approved and activated.

The Fiverr age requirement is at least 18 years. People under the age
of 18 but at least 13 years of age can only use the website under a
guardian or their parent’s account.

If you’re under the age of 13, you’re not allowed to use the Fiverr
website both as a seller and buyer.

So, if none of the restrictions are applied to you and you do not have an
existing Fiverr account, click here to sign up for your buyer’s account
now.

The process is simple to understand. You need an active email account,


your name, profile picture, and your billing details.
On the Fiverr homepage, click the “Join” button at the top right
corner.

On the next page, enter your email address in the field and click the
continue button. You can also join Fiverr with your Facebook account;
Google connects and Apple connect.

These are quick processes to join. But I prefer using your email
address to complete the process. You might decide to close your
Facebook tomorrow, but your email address.

Next, choose your Fiverr username and password. Once you set up your
Fiverr account profile, your username cannot be changed in the future.
So, think hard and long before making a decision.

Click on the “Join” button to complete the signup process.

A confirmation message will be sent to your email address. You need to


activate your account by clicking on the “Activate Your Account”
button in that email.
Once your account is activated, you’re now a registered member on
Fiverr. And you can begin your buyer’s experience on the platform.

Next, let’s walk through the easiest way to find the right gig on Fiverr
so you can quickly wade through the irrelevant ones.

FINDING THE RIGHT GIG USING THE SEARCH BOX

There are lots (millions) of gigs listed on Fiverr that make it


completely overwhelming to search through. More than 500 service
categories…
A single search query can return hundreds (even thousands) of results.
As a first-time user, this might get you confused and lead to
time-wasting.

The simplest way to search through gigs on Fiverr is to use the search
box. It will help you search for exactly what you’re looking for.

While Fiverr has done a great job to simplify the search process, there
is still a lot to be done in this aspect.

For instance, in the Digital Marketing category, if you’re looking for


specific SEO services, it could be a time taking task to find exactly
what you’re looking for.

I was looking for a link-building gig on the platform using the “Digital
Marketing” tab in the navigation menu. These are the options…

As you can see, this option does not give us exactly what we want.
Instead, use the search box.

The search box provides a better search experience and leads us


quickly to find the type of gig we’re looking for.

I typed “SEO link building” on the search box, and here is the result.

This is a better and quicker process to find relevant gigs on Fiverr.

Now, let’s dive into how you can find the right freelancer or seller on
Fiverr.
This is a much harder process to complete. As there are lots of sellers
or freelancers with similar services for almost the same price.

But there are steps you can follow to narrow down your options and
hire the right freelancer for the task.

Let’s find out below…

HOW TO FIND THE RIGHT GIG OR FREELANCER


ON FIVERR

While there are no right or wrong ways to find freelancers for your
project, here are a couple of steps you can use today to hire the right
one for the task:

USE FIVERR FILTER

Fiverr provides many filter options to find relevant gigs on the website.
You can search by:

● Tags
● Category
● Seller Details
● Service Option
● Budget
● Delivery Time
● Pro Services – Verified Freelancers for quality service delivery
● Local Seller – Fiverr sellers within your country
● Online Seller – Available Fiverr Seller online
BUDGET

Your budget plays a crucial role in your search.

It will determine the quality of services you get, the level of seller you
can afford to hire, and so much.

Of course, you can get gigs at $5, but that’s not so much of a quality
one. Most sellers on Fiverr have different tiers of gigs offering. The
higher the quality of the gig, the more it is priced.

To save time, use the budget filtering option on the page to search for
gigs within your budget.

QUALITY OF WORK

This is obvious and an extension of the above point.

The quality of work you want will determine the level of freelancer you
hire.
If you want top-quality work done, you may want someone with previous
experience and a track record to handle your project.

Fiverr has done an excellent job in vetting top-rated sellers with at


least 100 orders completed on time and with a minimum of 4.7 ratings.

These are Fiverr sellers or freelancers with proven work experience


and returned happy customers. You can even see through some of the
past brands or companies the seller has worked with.

This will give you an idea of what quality of services you should expect.

To quickly search for top-rated sellers on Fiverr, use the “Pro Service”
filtering option on the page and sort by “Bestselling” or “New arrival“.

This option will filter the result to the only top-rated seller within your
search.

If you’re not looking for a certain level of work quality, then you can
leave the search filter as it is. The search result will return the most
relevant gigs to your search queries.
GIG DESCRIPTION

The gig description is another thing to watch out for when searching
for the right Fiverr freelancer for your project.

The description should contain every detail about the gig offers. And it
should be about the gig headline and relevant to your search queries.

Read the gig description carefully before attempting to contact the


seller. By reading the description, you’ll know what to expect from the
service.

If there is anything you do not understand, you can now make contact
for clarification.

PORTFOLIO

This is a helpful feature on Fiverr and it helps to see the seller’s work
portfolio.

On Fiverr, some sellers have started adding work portfolios to their gig
profiles.

While this is not on its convincing proof that you will get similar
results, it makes sense to see the type of results the seller can
achieve.
But trade carefully here, especially if it has to do with graphic design,
illustrator, images, etc. There have been cases of sellers taking other
people’s work and adding it to their portfolio.

If you suspect something, ask the seller for more information.

POST A REQUEST

Sometimes, for a weird reason, you may not find the exact gig you want
on Fiverr. This is one of the times the Post a request feature is useful.

You can post your job description on Fiverr for interested freelancers
to see. This will help you attract the right person to your job because
you’re providing detailed information on exactly what you want and how
you want it.

People who are interested in taking your job will respond with offers.
You can now go through the responses to find your best fit.

This article explains how to use the Post a Request features on Fiverr.

DELIVERY TIME

The time frame required to complete the task is one of the most
important factors to consider when hiring a freelancer.

You don’t want a situation where you’ll be chasing a seller to complete


your job? So, you should go through the gig description and details
carefully to learn about the gig delivery time.
Also, you may need to compare each gig package to see the difference
in the delivery time and added services.

Most sellers offer 3 different gig packages for one listing. Basic,
Standard, and Premium.

Each one comes with a different time frame, features, services, and
costs.

Your needs, budget, and business requirements will determine the


package you’ll purchase.

After going through the vetting process, and you’ve selected the best
candidate for the task, it’s time to get in touch with the seller.

You probably have a few questions before placing your order.

CONTACT THE SELLER

You must make contact with the seller before you place your order on
Fiverr.

Let the seller know what you want from the offering. What type of
results are you expecting to see?

For instance, I wanted to purchase a particular link-building gig that


promises link placement on a DA 55 news website.

After reviewing the gig, I contacted the seller about the possibility of
sharing the website URL with me to verify.
Yes, he did share the URL with me after which I run the domain with a
link explorer tool.

I was satisfied with the domain SEO metrics, thereafter, I provided


him with the details of what I wanted, the type of article, anchor text,
and duration.

Most sellers will be happy to share more information with you if you
ask. Provided it will help in facilitating the deal.

PLACE YOUR FIVERR ORDER

Now that you’ve done all the initial research, and you’ve found the right
seller and gig, it’s time to buy on Fiverr.

Placing your order on Fiverr is simple, easy, secure, and guarantees to


protect your data and privacy.

First, select the package you want from the three available options,
then, click continue.

CLICK HERE TO ORDER


It will open a panel by the right where you can choose whether you
want this order as a one-time purchase or a monthly subscription offer.

If the gig is available in a monthly subscription plan, you can save


between 10% to 15% off on your second order.

If you click on the “subscribe to safe” section in the panel, it will


unlock the monthly subscription plans. You can now select the plan you
want with the discount offer.

Click on the continue button when you’re done.

It will open a new page to customize your order. Here you can add
relevant gig extras to your purchase. As you add other gig extras to
your order, it will reflect in your payment summary on the right.
When you’re done, click the “Continue to checkout” button. This action
will take you to the payment processing page. This is where your
payment option will be charged and a receipt issued for your purchase.

Next, you will be taken to a page where you can submit gig
requirements to the seller. This is where you will enter every detail the
freelancer needs to begin working on your project.
On this page, you should be as thorough as you could. Make your point
short. Go straight to the point, and be clear in your statement.

You have only 2,500 characters to pass your message across to the
seller.

When you’re done writing the requirements, check the box to give
approval to the accuracy of your information and click on the “Start
Order” button.

That’s it, your order is now in progress.

On the next page, you will see the full details of your order. The
expected delivery date, payment summary, time of payment, gig order,
etc.
You can make payments from multiple gateways options. Let’s see each
of the Fiverr payment methods below…

FIVERR PAYMENT METHODS

Fiverr offers two payment gateway options at the moment – PayPal and
credit/debit card.

You’ll be able to connect your preferred method on the payment


processing page.

Whether it is PayPal or credit card, the process is simple.

For credit or debit card payment, Fiverr accept Visa, Mastercard,


Discovery Network, Diners club international, and JCB.

Here are a couple of questions you might have in mind about placing
your order on Fiverr

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

​ Can You Tip on Fiverr


Yes, as a buyer, you can offer a tip on Fiverr after a
successful gig delivery and payment. The option to offer a
tip will be available for seven days after which you won't be
able to do so.

However, you can only give a tip after you've left a review
on the seller's service delivery. This is to ensure you're
satisfied with the services to offer a tip.

There is a minimum $5 tip for a gig order under $25, and a


maximum of 100% tip for gig orders above $25.
​ How do I purchase on Fiverr?
Here are the steps to purchase on Fiverr for a first-time
buyer.

First, you need to create an account with an email address


and a username and verify it. I have discussed the steps in
this article extensively.
Next, use the Fiverr search tools to find the right gig or
freelancers. After that, you might need to contact the
seller for further clarifications. If you're satisfied with
the gig offers, the next thing is to place your order and
make the payment.
​ Can You Get a Refund on Fiverr?
Yes, you can get a refund if an order is canceled for certain
reasons. You may request a refund if the gig services are
not delivered according to the description on the gig page.

However, for a logo design gig, you can not request a refund
after the services have been delivered and payment is
made.

Also, before you can request a refund, Fiverr encourages


buyers and sellers to try to resolve the issue mutually using
the resolution center before contacting the customer
support department.

A refund request will not be entertained if a buyer hasn't


contacted the seller for a possible resolution. You can read
more about the Fiverr terms and conditions on this page.
