How to Make More Sales on Fiverr:
The marketing Strategy of Fiverr is almost the same with the real-world Business model. You just have to keep your regular customer coming back to you.
How can you do this? It’s by over-delivering your services a gig says “I will give you 500 facebook likes” when you get an order for this service, you can deliver additional “200 likes” It will make the Buyer to come back to you for more services.
Another trick to making more sales is leveraging Social Media Marketing , Twitter and Facebook as seems to be the most effective in Fiverr Marketing system, You can create 20 different Gigs in a day and tweet about them to your audiences, you can build a USA/UK targeted Twitter followers and send your tweets with hashtag to attract the attention of audience interested in your Service.
You can also post your Fiverr Gig on a Blog, in this case you will have to write a little more of what the GIG’ is all about and the benefits, if the review is properly done it can be a lifetime earning Gig with regular buyers coming In daily.
You can record a Review Video for your Gigs and list them on Youtube, if you are offering a marketing skill, you can display some of your skill in the Video, if you are offering Affiliate Marketing you can show you effective the product is in the Video and Upload them on youtube with Description containing the link for purchase on Fiverr.
Internet Marketing Forums are one of the best places to list your Fiverr Gigs in a non-spammy way a good example of such forum is ‘WarriorForum”, you can do a little search on Google for Internet Marketing Forums and you will see a list of them.
How much can I make on Fiverr?
This is a common question new fiverr sellers do ask, well the money potential of Fiverr is based on the consistency of the Seller, Fiverr can make you 1000dollars, In fact most Nigeria Freelancers are making 5000dollars monthly on Fiverr.
You too can make it, even if you are not willing to make it a full-time income source, fiverr can add more money to your Income Online.
To make more sales on fiverr, you need to list more new Gigs every day and promote your old Gigs.
If you list 20 Gigs daily and you get 5 (orders) sales, 20 x 5 = that is a total of 100dollars in a day! That’s wow!
If you persist with this in 30days that will be a total of $3000 this can be an additional income source for you.
The major challenges that most new freelancers encounter with fiverr is creating multiple Gigs daily and Marketing those Gigs to make tangible sales.
However if you can be consistent with the listing of your Gigs, you can make much with fiverr.
Fiverr is owned and managed by USA based Companies however, they have come to the understanding that we have lots of Nigerians on Fiverr and in respect to this, Withdrawing Fiverr earning in Nigeria has got better than it used to be (Formerly we withdraw Fiverr Earning via Paypal)
But now we have the Fiverr MasterCard that enables you to withdraw your Fiverr earning directly from any MasterCard ATM in Nigeria and anywhere in the world.
The Joy of working as a freelancer is the ability to get your Job done anywhere anytime and get paid but now even the withdrawal aspect is more fun for Nigerians.
Note: Fiverr Marketing is so pretty easy when you are attaining some level of ranking on Fiverr (Just like Website ranking and PR in Google) there is ranking for sellers on Fiverr :
We have
Level 1 Seller,
Level 2 Seller and
Top Rated Seller (which is every fiverr sellers’ desire).
Before you can be issued a Fiverr MasterCard, you must have attained level 1 Seller “which is attainable if you are consistent with your Job Board, listing and delivering your Gigs to your Customers”.
One of the basics but essential Step to making Progress with Fiverr is Proper Marketing and Quick Delivery of Orders, when you get an order from a buyer, you as a new Seller, must deliver your Order timely and most Buyers always prefer sellers that Deliver their Order faster than those who takes 2 -3 days before they Deliver theirs.

Nice post… So which freelancing website is the best??
@Milton Addai, Fiverr is one of the flexible Freelance Job you can do.
Try Alance.co it’s Nigerian, try elance. Fiver kind of limits your earnings with its 5$ cap. IMO

Hello Tolu,
I was extremely happy when I came across this entry. It genuinely saddens me when many Nigerians believe that money cannot be made online. Fiverr is just one of the very many options and I see that you’ve done supreme justice to the post.
Well done!
Always,
