Fiverr has a nifty little feature called ‘Buyer Requests’. Honestly, I never really use the feature since, fingers crossed, I get enough orders without using it. However, if you’re new to Fiverr, your sales are slowing, or you simply want to get some extra cash to afford a vacation or a 4K TV, the Buyer Request function can help gain a few new sales (this is especially important for new and level one sellers).
Typically, when asked, “How do I get more sales using Fiverr’s Buyer Request?” or “I’m submitting offers to buyers and they aren’t responding. Why?” I ask to see the request and the seller’s response to the request. Typically, buyers don’t respond for three reasons:
In this video, I’ll give you strategies to address the first two reasons. For reason #3, all I can say is make sure everything you do on Fiverr is professional and written using correct English.
Also, you can download a template I created so you can customize your responses and get more sales!
To summarize the video
Step #1:
Choose a buyer who is specific in his/her request.
Step #2:
Select 10 requests to respond to (or the maximum)
Step #3:
Customize using the downloadable template and respond to those requests. Note that your response cannot be more than 800 characters.
Step #4:
Answer any questions the buyer has and be attentive.
Step #5:
Follow up ONCE if there is no response. Don’t bug the buyer. Follow-up once a day later and if still no response, don’t contact the buyer again.
Of course you’ll need to customized a little or a lot depending on your gig and the client’s request, but, this template should get you started.
