Pick Your Service Category

Fiverr organizes gigs into categories like Graphics & Design, Digital Marketing, Writing & Translation, etc.

Select 1-2 main categories that best align with the service you want to offer. This helps get your gig in front of the right buyers.

Write an Appealing Gig Title

Your gig title headline should summarize what you offer. Like

• “I will create a professional brand logo design”
• “I will proofread and edit your 300-word blog post”

Use relevant keywords that buyers search on Fiverr. Keep it clear and descriptive.

Describe What’s Included in Your Gig

The description field explains exactly what the buyer gets when purchasing your gig. Be detailed. For example:

• For a logo design gig, describe the number of initial concepts they can expect, the file formats delivered, revisions allowed, and overall process.
• For a writing gig, specify topic options, tone and style options, deadline options, and any research or sources included.

Set clear expectations upfront for buyers.

Set Your Pricing and Packages

Consider your time required and the value offered when setting pricing. Common strategies include:

• Packages by project size like logo concepts, word count, etc.
• Upgraded packages like Standard, Premium, Platinum
• Bundled offerings related to the core service

Price competitively based on the Fiverr market.

The pricing options on Fiverr have evolved over the years. Today, you can offer the legacy basic pricing or enable packages to offer 3 different pricing points.

The Packages option is usually enabled by default, but if not, simply toggle the offer packages option at the top of this pane. The 3 packages are

• Basic
• Standard
• Premium
