Getting Your First Fiverr Sale
So how long does it take to get your first fiber seal? Well, getting your first fiber seal can be super exciting and it can be super nerve wracking as well. Because if you've never worked with a client before, it can be a little bit of a new experience, you are given this expectation from the client to provide a certain service. And depending on if you've done it before or not, it can be an interesting ordeal and journey. So to answer the question of how long it takes to get your first client, it all depends on how great your profile looks and what type of service you're actually offering. There are some people, as I've mentioned earlier on in the course that price themselves super high on the platform and their profile doesn't look very great. And it's going to take them a very, very long time for someone to actually trust them if anybody to actually give them money to see if they're any good at what they can actually offer. So what I mean by that is for me personally, I was offering ...
logo development and logo designs for $5.10 dollars and then $15. And then I slowly work my way up to a stage where I can now charge 1500 to $2000 for a logo design. Now, this can obviously take a little bit of time and this is the reason why I always suggest that people should offer really basic services for 5 to $10. In the very beginning is going to help you to get that first client far faster. Probably 1 to 3 weeks of actually being active on the platform than just having your profile out there. People will start to get in touch with you and eventually someone will actually trust you because listen, it's only $10 and what you actually want from that isn't to make the most amount of money possible that comes later. What you want to do is to build up your credibility for a very specific service and create a really great system behind that service and a really great experience and then really drive that value home. So that later on down the line, you can switch your pricing and the clients that have been making five star reviews have been extremely happy with their service. But then everyone going forward will think that everyone beforehand has also paid $1000 for that service. When as a matter of fact, some of your truly early clients, like maybe the 1st 10 or 20 have only been paying, you know, maybe 5 to $50 for that particular service. It's all about building credibility and trust on the platform in the very beginning. It's not about getting as much profit as possible, even if you're a professional in what you do, you should be looking to over deliver as much as possible and to essentially get as many reviews as possible on your gig. This is going to allow you to build of your credibility on the platform. It's going to allow you to really get as far ahead as possible as soon as possible and get that first sale as fast as possible too. Now, in regard to how to treat your first client on fiber, it is extremely important that you get that five star review. And what I would suggest is once you get that first client and you confirm the order, I would set my availability to unavailable and I would just focus on getting that client the best possible results by any means necessary. Now, 99 times out of 100 you're gonna get a great client and everything's gonna go smoothly. But if you get a negative client on your first client, that's just extremely unlucky and it's very unlikely. So please do not worry if they are going to leave you a negative review and you just feel like they're not really enjoying the process or maybe you're just not delivering as well as you could, then I would think about canceling the order and just basically letting them go and not having them leave a really negative review on your profile because ultimately, that's going to leave you really struggling to find your next client. It's just going to be an uphill battle from there, just be wary, make sure you get your five star review on the first client and then just continue that momentum with your next 10 clients, then you should be in a really strong position. So how do you actually get your first five star review on five? Well, I'm going to be sharing my methods and techniques that I use personally to manage clients' expectations to make sure every single time I work with a client, they feel like I've exceeded their expectations. Therefore, they are more likely to give me a five star review and not only a five star review, but they also give me a nice paragraph of feedback to showcase how great it was to work with me. Now, we will be covering that in more depth later on in the course. But until then I will see you in the next lesson.
