Preparing to Apply for Fiverr Pro
OK. So how do you prepare before actually applying to be a fiber pro to maximize your chances of success? So this is a lesson which I had to learn the hard way. And it ultimately left me in a state where I didn't actually know what I was doing wrong. But after a while I figured it out, as soon as I figured it out, everything fit into place and I got accepted straight away. So the first thing that you need to do before you actually apply to be a fiber Pro is to make sure that across all your digital presence, whether it be linkedin youtube, your website, Instagram, everything that you're going to present to the fiber pro application process. You need to make sure that you are positioned as an expert within one specific discipline. Now, this is the mistake that I made personally three times. I was basically presenting myself as someone who could do a little bit of everything thing. So I thought, OK, well, let's just try and be a pro at as many things as possible when fiber don't like tha...
t, what fiber actually want is for you to be an expert in one particular field. Now, if you go to my profile, you'll see that I'm a fiber pro in multiple different categories and areas of expertise such as copywriting, brand, naming, marketing strategies, et cetera, et cetera, and even influencer marketing. For example. Now the way that I did that is very specific and that is because first and foremost, before you actually start to extend and expand your areas of expertise, which comes afterwards, once you've been accepted, which is super simple, you first have to be accepted on the program to be a fiber Pro. So the best way to do that is to select one single service or skill set that you are the best at and extremely experienced at. And then after which you can start to build on that skill set and actually apply to have your gigs converted into fiber Pro gigs based on other areas of expertise that you are also good at. This may seem a little bit crazy and counter productive, but this is the way that I managed to get accepted on the Fiber Pro platform because I specifically said that I was an expert in brand naming and then I began to add all the other disciplines that I was it afterwards. Once I've been accepted, this is the most effective way to do it. I don't know if anyone else has any other experiences, but that's what worked for me specifically. So that's the first step making. Sure that every single element of your digital presence, your linkedin, your Instagram, everything states that you are an expert in a particular field, whether that be website development, UX design, logo design, naming anything copywriting, whatever you want. Now, the next step is to make sure that you have an online website or portfolio. This doesn't need to be a separate website. For example, it can just be a bee hands portfolio if you're a logo designer, for example, or maybe medium account, you know, where you can showcase your copywriting. Basically, all this needs to do and we're going to go through the actual application process and I'll actually show you how to fill in the application process and give you some tips and tricks in the next couple of lessons. One of the things that you really need to do is you need to showcase your expertise. Father is going to look at your application and say, OK, this person says they're an expert in logo design. Let's get someone who understands logo design. So a part of their internal team to check out their specific logo designs to see if they are an expert and if they can actually prepare logo designs to the recommended standard that we expect for a Pro on the platform. And this is super important and one other little tip that I'll give you when you're preparing to actually file your Fiber Pro application is to make sure your best work is at the top. Now, this may seem super basic. But ultimately, if you have a portfolio, you want to make sure that at least the 1st 6 to 9 projects are your best work. You need to make sure that they are seamless, crisp, professional and incredible and to the highest standard possible because if they see a piece of bad work, then they just assume that you thought that that was ok. So I would even take down any projects that you're not 100 per cent certain of and I would only showcase work that is of the highest possible will standard. Because if they see a piece of work that doesn't quite hit the criteria that needs you to hit to become a fiber pro, you're going to end up shooting yourself in the foot, it's not going to end well. So hopefully that gives you a little bit of guidance and support in regards to how to prepare yourself before applying to be a fiber pro. But in the next couple of lessons, we're going to actually go through the application process and also what actually happen when you get accepted as a fiber pro. So I'll see you in the next lesson.
