My Fiverr Goals for 2014: What Are Yours?



It’s really important to set goals for your Fiverr business. On Tuesday I covered why it was time to look back over the year, so you could plan for the year. Today—I know, I’m posting more often than normal at the moment—is about setting your Fiverr goals for 2014. I’m going to share my goals and then give you tips for setting yours.

Post Once a Week on This Blog

When I started this blog, it was designed to be updated whenever I had something new to share. In the end, I started posting on a weekly basis. I quite like having this weekly schedule. It really works for me and you know when I’m going to have more content.

So I’ve set up a schedule for this month with post ideas once a week. They’re covering some of the more poignant topics on Fiverr at the moment.

So, the first of my Fiverr goals for 2014 is to post on a weekly basis.

Market My Fiverr Gigs More

It’s all about getting more gig orders, otherwise there won’t be any sales. In an attempt to do that, I’m going to market my gigs more. I’ll be finding new places to write and share the news, while posting more on my Facebook and Twitter.

I’d suggest making this one of your Fiverr goals for 2014. It’s important for all sellers, whether you’re just starting out or are already a Top Rated Seller.

Make Fiverr No More Than Half My Income

Wait, I’m going to market more but make it no more than half my income? The goals seem to contradict each other, right?

Well, while that is the case, I have goals for my other areas of business, which should help to make this goal possible. I like to keep eggs in different baskets, so to speak, just in case somewhere shuts down.

Spend Less Time in the Forums

I seem to spend too much time looking through posts and generally chatting. It is becoming a distraction. My goal for 2014 is to only check it once or twice a day, and post in discussions where I can offer something helpful and constructive.

I’m going to try and rant less, although I don’t think I do that too often, and maybe will try to starts some new discussions.

How Do You Set Your Fiverr Goals for 2014?

So, now it’s over to you. As a Fiverr seller, you need to have some goals, so here are my tips for that:

·         What would you like to achieve? Think about your income dreams, the hours you’d like to work and what you’d like to get from selling on Fiverr.
·         Make them attainable. It’s really easy to set goals that are far out there, but they’re not always attainable. If you can’t realistically achieve them, you will lose motivation during the year.
·         Make them something you can control. Don’t focus on the income—although it’s worth having that in mind. Focus on goals that you have control over, such as delivering excellent gigs or marketing more. These will work into your income goal.

What are your Fiverr goals for 2014? Share them here and make yourself more accountable for them. If you’re struggling with ideas, let me know and maybe we can work on some goals together!
