Gig

The service you offer and sell in the marketplace is called a "Gig." Your Gig is an opportunity to
showcase your talent to potential customers and to provide them with all the information they
may need before they choose to place an order.

Fiverr Gig

A Fiverr gig is a term commonly used to describe the service you sell on Fiverr. It provides you
with the opportunity to showcase your unique talent and inform buyers that you are well and
truly capable of completing the service you render.

Since you are mostly dealing with buyers whom you’ve never met before, the only way they
can discover your quality is through your gig.

That’s why there’s a need to put a lot of details into gig creation.

Gig Creation

Gig creation can only be completed using a computer. The fiverr mobile app doesn’t have a
built-in feature for gig creation. So you need to log in into your Fiverr account using a
computer.

Step #2: Create a Gig title, select category and meta tags

Gig title: Your gig title is a short description of the service you want to sell on Fiverr. It must
be equal to or less than 80 characters. If you are confused about what title to give your gig, you
can get ideas from other sellers. However, you must make sure your gig title is unique. And
avoid overcrowded marketplaces in Fiverr.
Example:
 I will create 3 professional logo designs
 I will design a modern unique minimalist logo with elegance
 I will do internet research and data entry
 Categories: Fiverr has a wide range of categories to choose from Graphic designing, Digital
Marketing, Writing & Translation, Video & Animation, Music & Audio, Programming & Tech,
Business and, Fun & Lifestyle.

Make sure you select the appropriate category because it cannot be modified after gig creation.

Sub-Category: After choosing your category, you have the option to choose a sub-category
that’s most specific to your service.
Example: Fiverr gigs are specific tasks and placed within categories. For instance, a specific
gig in the Graphics & Design category might be “create a print book cover for fiction writers.” In
the Writing & Translation category, a freelancer may offer a gig specifically for blog posts of
500-700 words.

Search Tag: Fiver allows you to choose up to 5 search tags. If you want your gig to get more
visibility in Fiverr search results, then your search tag must contain keywords you believe
buyers search for when they visit Fiverr.

Step #3: Set your Gig Pricing

With the Standard and Premium package unlocked, you can set a different prices for all the
same gigs, depending on the extra services you want to render.

For instance, if your basic plan is set at 5 dollars, and the delivery date is set at 3 days, you
could decide to set your standard price to $10, for a two days delivery.

Your gig revisions are the number of times you intend to revise the finished work, should in
case a buyer complains and requests for a review.

pricing.

Step #4: Write a Gig Description and FAQ

After your gig title, your gig description is the next most important thing about your gig.
Many new sellers on Fiverr create their gig descriptions hastily. That shouldn’t be the case with
you; Be calm and put a lot of details into your gig description, and avoid grammatical and
spelling errors.

Browse through gigs of expert or top sellers in your category, learn from their gig descriptions.
However, you must ensure never to copy their gig descriptions word-for-word. If you do that,
Fiverr may demote your gig ranking and deprive your gig of search visibility.

Since Fiverr limits your gig description to only 1200 characters, you can also add a few
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) to address issues or questions buyers are likely to have.

disputes.

If possible, you can use a high-quality video of yourself. Buyers are more likely to buy from
you if you have a gig video.
