Fiverr Blog Ideas: What Can You Blog About?



Starting a Fiverr blog is a great way to promote your gigs on the site. I love using my blog because I can go into details about problems that I’ve faced as a buyer and a seller on the website.

However, you may be struggling for Fiverr blog ideas. What exactly should you or can you blog about? You want to offer help, but at the same time you want to encourage people to buy your gig. Well, here are a few ideas I have to offer:

Tell Your Fiverr Story

Start off by telling your Fiverr story. This is a great way to introduce yourself to the people who will read your blog and let them know you experience on the site.

Don’t be scared if you’re new. Being a newbie on the website is great. You can share your tips for promoting and getting customers from the start and your views of the website as it is for new people right there and then. You’ll also be able to share the Fiverr gigs that you’re buying to help with promotion and whether you recommend them.

If you’re starting it with experience on the site already, that’s powerful too. You show that you know how the site works, and you’ll be offering tips based on that experience and knowledge.

Share Your Gig Tips

I tend to share tips for Fiverr gigs. As a Top Rated Seller, I’ve been through the long-haul that it takes to get there, built my sales up and gotten to the point where I earn a part-time living on the website. All this experience and knowledge has built up and it’s time to give something back.

There are a few tips that you might want to offer are:

·         For promotion
·         About the forum
·         About seller etiquette
·         For buyers
·         About creating gig descriptions
·         For handling feedback

Review Other Sellers

Something that I haven’t done yet is reviewing other sellers. This is a great way to create a network, which could serve you well in the future. When reviewing other sellers, you need to give them a try. Now the choice is whether you want to try and get them to offer their services for free for your review or if you pay for something you need and then offer a review afterwards—there are pros and cons to both and only you can decide what you really want to do.

The former is more likely possible with newer sellers. They want to get the word out that they are good. However, those Top Rated Sellers probably won’t bother; they’re already getting the sales and have their own methods of promotion. You will need to do the latter if you want their services.

Don’t buy from your competition—at least not maliciously. You may be looking for someone in the same work so you can try and create a network or find someone to recommend when you have too much work. When this is the case, you’ll want to contact the seller first to explain your motives to put them at ease.

I’d suggest trying out services that work well with your own. So, for me it would be image creation or video gigs. They’d work well with writing. I have used eBook cover gigs in the past to help with my personal projects when I just haven’t had the time.

Advice for Fiverr Users

Finally, think about offering advice for your Fiverr users. You may have come across a problem and want to cover what you did. You may have seen a situation on the Fiverr forum and want to share your advice for handling it.

This needs to be clear that it is your advice. It’s also worth pointing out why you’ve come up with this advice so people trust you.

There’s a few Fiverr blog ideas. Mix and match between them and attract people who are more likely to want your gig.

Tips for Marketing Yourself on Fiverr.com



I recently requested for my gigs to be considered for Top Rated Seller status. I was turned down and it seems like it is partially due to not enough sales.

I don’t mind that – it’s something that I can try and work on and I did get a bit of a boost by my “I will write 400 words for $5” did being placed on the front page of my category to entice more people to buy.

But, it doesn’t stop there. I’ve seen a lot of people complaining about not getting many orders recently.

It’s really important to market yourself on Fiverr.com. But how do you do that? Here are my tips for marketing yourself on Fiverr.com and increase your sales.

Optimise Your Fiverr Gigs

The first thing to do is make sure your Fiverr gigs are fully optimised. Use the keywords that people will use when looking for your type of gig. For example, my would be article writing, blogging, SEO marketing etc.

This isn’t just for the website but for search engines. Fiverr gigs show up on Google searches to increase your reach and you want to be at the top of the results to entice people to buy.

Promote Them on Social Media

Social media marketing is very effective when used properly. Create a Facebook page, a Twitter account, Google+ and Pinterest to show off your gigs and even include samples.

You need to keep sharing your gigs and promote yourself to give people a reason to buy. You’ll be surprised by the amount of people that actually come through this method.

Watch out when you do promote on social media. Remember that you cannot contact or accept payments outside of the Fiverr system. It’s best to have a page specifically for your Fiverr gigs and avoid promoting on your personal profile where only your friends will see it – they’re not likely to buy your gigs!

Set Up a Fiverr Blog

I love writing and I love my Fiverr gigs. My biggest tip for marketing yourself on Fiverr.com is to set up your own blog. It doesn’t matter if you’re not really a writer or if you’re new to Fiverr, there’s so much that you can do!

If you’ve been on the site for a while (I’ve been there for two years), you can offer tips and advice to people looking to sell on Fiverr. If you’re new and you’ve bought gigs in the past, write reviews about the seller’s work. This gives you the chance to go in more detail and show off the work afterwards, either through a link or an image in your gig.

You could also opt for an interview with a Fiverr seller or buyer to get their tips and advice or find out what they love about Fiverr.com.

Marketing yourself on Fiverr is more than just giving your link out. You need to show off your talents and give people a reason to trust you and build a relationship with you.

Get out there and market your Fiverr gigs. That’s the best way of getting sales. There are many ideas around and the Fiverr Forum offers many ideas. Be proactive instead of complaining about not getting sales.
