Using Social Media to Promote Fiverr Gigs

Whether you’ve just created your gigs or you’ve been on Fiverr for some time, people are not just going to find and buy your gigs. You need to promote.

Social media is one of the best ways that many have found to promote Fiverr gigs. It’s easy, quick and reaches the masses. However, you do need to stick to a few rules.

There are many different options for social media to promote Fiverr gigs, including Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Tumblr. Here are some tips to help you reach the masses and get people to buy.

Use Your Photo for Pinterest Effectively

Pinterest is great for those who have artistic or visually appealing gigs. It doesn’t work so well for writing or review gigs but is excellent for recipes, graphic designers and website template makers; among many more.

It’s best to use a unique photo that you’ve taken yourself. If you make crafts, take one of the finished product to show people what you do. If you draw pictures, take a photo of one you’ve done.

Make your pictures and photos visually appealing too. You can’t just rely on the product. Draw those on Pinterest in. Make them want to check out your gig, try you out and re-pin your great invention.

Have Introductions and Descriptions

You can’t just post your link on Twitter and expect people to click it. When you use social media to promote Fiverr gigs, you need to give people a reason to click.

Include a snappy introduction or clear description. It doesn’t matter if you’re using Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+ or any of the others. A description is a good start to get people to click your link. It tells them what you offer so they can make the decision as to whether they want to buy it.

When you celebrate your successes on Fiverr, make sure you include that on your social media profiles too. Definitely do this on Twitter and include the Fiverr twitter profile to increase the chance of your tweet being retweeted.

Set Up Profiles Specifically to Promote Fiverr Gigs

Why not have profiles specifically for your Fiverr account? You can have as many social media accounts as you’d like and you can easily keep your Fiverr work separate from your personal or other work.

It’s really important to set up separate profiles on social media to promote Fiverr gigs when you would only use your personal page. It’s not worth getting your personal and Fiverr life mixed up. You can also use your specific profiles to pull more attention to your Fiverr page, instead of all over the place with your funny pictures, recommendations for other stores etc.

Use the same username for all the sites. It’s great if this is linked to the type of gigs you offer but it doesn’t need to be. Make it stand out and unique so people remember who you are.

Considering Sponsored Posts?

You may want to put some money into your Fiverr gig promotion. Consider creating accounts where you can pay for people to send out your gig. You can create the tweet or Facebook post or let the person sending it create their own.

The benefit of this is that you can get a lot of promotion. Some accounts won’t make you pay out unless you get certain sales from those tweets so you could get a lot of free looks, the tweets are then re-tweeted and you increase your chance of sales.

This does depend on the amount of money you have though. It is an investment and not one that is guaranteed to pay off.
