Buyer Requests”

1. Read the project description carefully.

If the buyer doesn’t feel that you understand the project,

you’re not likely to win the project. Besides, many buyers
will ask for specific details that you need to be aware of. In
fact, buyers often include a phrase that must be included in
your description in order to have it considered. The bottom
line is, you should always take the time to go through the
description thoroughly.
2. Keep your description clear and concise.

Remember that the buyer may have dozens or even

hundreds of offers to consider. It’s very likely that every
word of every offer isn’t going to be read. Offers with
unnecessarily long descriptions may be skipped over
completely. Don’t invite the buyer to ignore your offer just
because it looks to be a hit-or-miss.
3. Specify your terms clearly.

Using the project description as a guide, be as precise as possible

in stating exactly what you’ll provide, how much it will cost, and
how long it will take to deliver. Being vague about your terms
implies a lack of confidence. If you’re not confident in yourself,
the buyer won’t be, either.
If the buyer contacts you through a private message, be sure to
respond promptly.
Most buyers award projects within the first 24 hours of posting,
so make sure to keep yourself available for contact.
4. Stay in contact using fiverr mobile apps.

Install the fiverr mobile app and stay in touch with buyers
on the go. Also, discover new projects and get your offer in
quicker on the best new projects.
5. Upload work samples on your gig.

Quality, not quantity, is usually the rule of thumb while

uploading samples on your gig. Therefore, make sure that
your samples are appropriate for the job and that they
represent your best work.
6. Protect your work.

A word of caution: Unless you’re prepared to give your

work away, any sample you provide with should bear a
watermark or other means of identification or at the very
least , your name and a statement of copyright.
7. Be competitive with your pricing.

Being competitive does not necessarily mean that you need

to be the lowest seller. , but if your work is truly above
average, you may find that buyers are willing to pay above
average prices. On the other hand, if you’re relatively new
to fiverr, you may need to establish a reputation first.
8. Do not oversell yourself.

A little self-confidence is a good thing, but over-the-top

claims probably won’t impress anyone. Being honest about
your skills will get you much farther than a lot of hype.
9. Proofread your offer(s) prior to submission.

Is it written clearly? Are there misspellings? No matter any

kind of project you’re requesting on, a poorly written
proposal suggests a lack of interest and poor work habits.
Neither of those is going to work in your favor.
