How to Promote Fiverr Gig Effectively on Social Media

Does social media sharing really works for Fiverr gig promotion? Sellers often ask this question. The short answer is- yes. The longer answer is also yes but probably not the way you promote. After reading this article you will know how to promote your gig on Fiverr using social media platforms.

1. Make Sure You Exist on Niche Platforms

There are many social media platforms exist around the globe, and even you may not know all the platform names. Anyways, there are few social media platforms which can be used for all types of sellers. For example Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn. No matter if you are a web developer, graphic designer, writer or whatever is your niche, you can definitely use those three platforms to promote Fiverr gigs. But there are few other platforms or communities which are very specific to some certain categories/skills. For example Dribbble/Behance/etc are very specific to Graphic Design niche. StackOverflow/GitHub/etc are specific to Web Development niche. So make sure you are connected with niche platforms.

Make your profile descriptive. The UI of the social media platforms are different but most of the cases you will find option for writing about you. Don’t forget to use it properly. Also make sure you added your skills if there is an option for it. You will also see option for adding your website URL and put your Fiverr Profile URL there.

2. Help Other People by Answering Their Questions

Helping other people is great way to promote yourself under the hood. It also helps you to learn more. Because you have to gather necessary information in order to help other people.

One thing you should follow while helping other. Don’t include sales note or information while helping on social media. Because it indicates that your aim is to make sales. As a result, your anser will not carry sufficient value to your audience, and even though it’s valuable enough. Never share your gig link with your answer. If your anwer is great then people will navigate to your profile page and will contact you via your provided information on your profile.

Try to show proof or example while ansering question a question. For example- if you are helping with programming or coding related question. Try to show them a proof/example based on your answer. It could be a Codepen example or any other example you may have.

3. Mention Fiverr Profile/Gig Link in Your Social Media Account Overview

As I said you earlier, most of the social media platforms have an option for writing an overview. Write some thing cool reated to your skill & expertise, and mention your Fiverr Profile/Gig link on the overview. If the platform has separate field to mention your website URL, then use that field instead.

But make sure you do not links too much. Because it looks spammy. Try to use natural link instead of shortlinks. Peoples are afraid of clicking shortlinks, because sometimes they goes to unwanted places. Also it’s quite impossible to perfectly guess where the link will go to. So avoid using shortlinks.

4. Create Post with Proper Hashtags

Hashtags can make your social media posts icrediable or it can break your post as well. So use it with cautions. Most of users do not use hashtags without knowing much about it. As a result, sometimes their posts teated as spam and even sometimes it gets banned. For example- Instagram has many banned keywords. So you have to make sure that you are not using any of them on your post.

Also you have to make sure that you are not using same hashtags over & over. It’s treated like spam. So do a research and collect some allowed hashtags in your niche. And only use one or two hashtags on a single post.

It’s very important to not use the same hashtags which you already used on your last post. Use something new from your collected list.

Once a social media platform treated a proile as spammy, it’s very hard to bring them in normal position. In this type of cases they also do not send you a notification or email regarding spam detection. They just keep you remember as spammer and will prevent you to spead your post next time. So make sure you are on the right track.

5. Make Sure Most of Your Post Exceeds 250 Words

If you observe instead of just watching, you will see that most of social media posts about Fiverr Gig Promotion is ultimately the same. Those are just sharing their gig links with soome generic words & sentences. Also it gets populated from your Fiverr gig title, description, thumbnail & basic package. Do not share like this way.

Instead write a descriptive & helpful post on social media. Try to answer someone’s problem. Do a research & find what your buyers are searching for. Once you find the appropriate topic, write a helpful post about it.

Make sure most of your social media posts exceed 250 words and it’s a complete solution of a single topic. Mention your specific gig URL at the very bottom instead of using it on top of your post. And clearly mention that the link will go to Fiverr.Com to see more detail or if they want to explore more or if they want to learn more about the service. Pretty straight forward & professional approach.

Note: if you want to use Hashtags, make sure you mention them at the very bottom and even later than your gig URL. Because your visitors will luckily expect to see your post at the very first and not your hashtags. Hashtags are only helpful finding your post on search but it’s not helpful for reading to your buyers/visitors.

6. Avoid Making Comment with Your Gig Links on Someone Else’s Post

There is no wrong with making comment with your gig links if someone posted about asking those type of service. But it looks super spammy the post is irrelevant to your gig. By doing so you might get some clicks but it does not help your Fiverr gig marketing at all. They might click on the link just to see who is the culprit. Also there are another chance to get clicks from other spammer who also does the same thing. So make sure you are still a nice person who do not bother other peoples on social media.

I’m pretty much sure that you already know about Favorite Exchange on Fiverr Gig. But if you don’t know, read this article to learn about Favorite exchange group on Facebook. Anyways, never every make any comment with your gig link on those type of social media post. Just stay away of them and stay safe both on social media & Fiverr.

But if you really want to make comment on a post and bring some attention, make sure your comment is on the topic. If you make a great comment on topic, chances are people might feel interest to take a skim through on your social media profile page and to learn more about you.

7. Avoid Using Generic Words or Sentences

People are really bored seeing generic words, sentences & posts. Here are some examples-

• Awesome
• Thanks for sharing
• Are you looking for a …..
• You are in the right place 🙂

Those are just boring and do not create any impression on reader’s mind.

A lots of newbies are posting about career development on various forum & social media platforms while they do not have enough experience on topic. There is no wrong with those posts but it doesn’t look great because the OP do not have proven track record of being success yet. A Level students really do not expect to learn from kindergarten students. Again, there is no wrong with learning from junior but most cases we saw their advises are partially taken from others, sometime it’s misleading & wrong information. As a result, they end up with huge negative comment and insulation from others.

8. Create a Trustpilot Account for Your Fiverr Profile

It’s a bonus tip & not directly related to social media promotion. But it’s worth it & helps a lot for your Fiverr Gig Promotion.

Trustpilot is one of the most popular & renown platform for customer reviews. It’s Denmark based review website and they get approximately 1 Million new reviews each month. In many cases their review comes first at the top of search result. And that is why we found it very helpful for promoting any business on this review platform. And your Fiverr account is no different because it’s also a business. Take your Fiverr Gig Promotion to the next level.

In order to create a Trustpilot account, you will need an email & domain. The domain is required because you’re creating an account as a business and you will collect review. But it’s FREE for creating an account on Trustpilot.

If you have a blog or website for your business (the service you provide on Fiverr), you can use the link as domain. It is three step process for your Fiverr gig promotion. In the first step, your Trustpilot profile appears first & visitor goes to your Trustpilot profile. At the top-right edge of your Trustpilot profile there is an option to visit the business website. And the second step starts when someone clicks on the business website link. The visitor goes to your business-website/blog and find more information about your service. And if the visitor is interested about your service then goes to your Fiverr profile/gig in third step.

It looks lengthy process at first sight but actually not. These 3 step process will take 4/6 minutes to land on your Fiverr gig. The most important part of this process is- Fiverr keeps track of the Incoming URL and Fiverr will award you for gig ranking if that happen. Also you’ll get a visitor on your website.

Anyways, you can skip this process for now if it looks crazy to you or if you do not have a website/blog already. You can do it later & when you’re ready for it.

Fiverr Gig Promotion is one of the crucial part of your career. But it’s not that hard actually seems. You might found it hard to promote Fiverr gigs because you took it in wrong direction in the past. But if you follow above steps, you will succeed. My advise is for you to not hang with all the steps at the same time. Just start with the easiest steps first and carry on. Do not just participate but gradually make your social media account content-rich. Do not loose your focus on improving skills.
