#1: Start a Blog
To get more sales to your Fiverr gigs, start a blog. Starting a blog will bring more exposure to your Fiverr gigs as well as informing your potential clients more. You can link your blog to your Fiverr account as well.
In your blog you can write about:
- What your gigs feature,
- What your clients can expect from you,
- Why they should choose you,
- Benefits of your gig,
- Bonuses and Free stuff that you giveaway,
- And anything else
You can start a blog by using a self hosted WordPress blog. Consider using Tumblr as well. If you would like more information on how to start your own blog, then check out this article.
#2: Fan pages and Social Media
Start fan pages on Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, Pinterest and other social media sites which you think your potential clients would be. Start connecting with like-minded people and people that you think would benefit from what you offer.
Social media is an excellent way to get word out about your gig as there are millions and millions of people on social media sites.
Start posting helpful content on the social media sites and stuff related to your gigs. You can also join Facebook groups which help promote your Fiverr gigs for free. All you have to do is post a short description and the link to your gig on the Facebook group.
Think about it. If you don’t let anyone know about your gig, how will people know if your gig actually exists.

#3: Make use of Forums
Forums are very helpful when it comes to promoting your gig. They can bring a lot of traffic and sales to your gig. The good thing is that forum posts are also indexed on search engines like Google.
So if someone searches for something related to your gig on Google then it is likely that they will come up with your forum post and go click onto your Fiverr gig.
To find forums related to your gig, go onto Google and search for forums related to your gig. For example, if you have a logo design gig, then search for graphic designs forum. Then start advertising your gig, but not spamming.
Put your Fiverr profile and gigs in your profile on the forum. So this way if anyone clicks on your profile, they might click onto your gigs if they’re interested.
Don’t just advertise your gig in the forum. Contribute to the conversation and add value.
#4: Make A YouTube Channel
YouTube is a great platform to get a new audience. You can introduce a lot more people to your gig. More than a billion people access YouTube every month and you can take a share of these people.
Start a YouTube channel for your Fiverr account. Start recording videos about your gigs. You can even put on slideshows or other forms of videos if you don’t want to get in front of a camera yourself.
Some of the things you can put on your YouTube channel is:
- What your gig is
- Who you are
- Benefits of your gig
- What is so special about your gig
You can use YouTube to establish a better connection with your potential clients. Remember to also put a video on your Fiverr gig. Putting a video on your gig can increase sales by tenfold. You just need to tell potential clients what they are going to be getting from the gig and it can be less than 30 seconds.
This does build a lot more trust with your potential clients. Check out this article to increase views on your Youtube videos.
#5: Blog Commenting
Search for blogs that are related to your gig or are in your niche. Start commenting on blogs that related to your gig and start offering your Fiverr gig in the blog comments.
For example if you have a service that offers SEO to websites, you might want to search on Google for, ‘SEO blogs’ and it will come up with all the SEO blogs. Then read through a couple of articles from different blogs and offer valuable comments as well as putting links to your Fiverr gigs.
If it is a popular blog you are commenting on, then you will get quite a lot of sales just from the blog comments.
Make sure you do not spam on the blogs that you comment on as people just get put off by spam comments.
Guest posting is also helpful when it comes to getting more sales to your gig. Email bloggers and ask them if you can write a guest post for their blog. If they accept write an informative article and insert a link of either your blog or Fiverr page.
#6: Keywords and Tags
Keywords is very important when it comes to promoting your Fiverr gig and getting sales to it. Keywords and tags are the things that Fiverr uses to rank your gig in the searches.
Optimize your keywords and tags and make sure you include words that people will search for when searching for similar gigs. If you don’t do this, then it will be hard for people to find your gig. Always use the maximum number of tags that you are allowed for each gig.
For example, lets say you offer a logo design gig. Your keywords might be, logo, design, graphics, photoshop, business, etc. If you optimize your gig and use the correct keywords then your gig can become successful.
Also consider using Google Keyword Tool. This tool helps you find keywords that people are searching for and lets you know how popular a keyword is.
#7: Quora and Social Bookmarking sites
This is one of the best way to promote your Fiverr gigs. Quora is a Q&A website where users can ask questions and fellow members answer the questions. There are a lot of users using Quora and it is an excellent source for traffic.
I regularly use Quora to answer questions and provide helpful answers and it does bring me quite a bit of traffic. Another great website that is similar to to Quora is Yahoo Answers. Yahoo Answers also provides a lot of traffic if used properly.
What you should do is search for questions within your niche or questions related to your gigs on either Quora or Yahoo Answers. Answer the questions and add links to your gigs or fiverr profile. It is a great way to promote your Fiverr gigs.
Another powerful way to bring promote your Fiverr gigs is to post your gigs on social bookmarking websites. With Social bookmarking sites you can add your Fiverr gigs or any other webpage and bookmark them so other people can access them and see them.
