Marketing in a Tangled Web

Hi Fiverrtastic Readers,

    Ok so I recently came across this really cool seller by the username Hilgard. He got my interest because some of the gigs he offers are innovative and creative. He offers SEO and Advertising gigs to help promote peoples businesses and websites. One thing he does is helps promote people through article marketing. So in a way he's helping people kind of like I am. Here check out more information about what he does here . People who offer these type of services can make really good money if they advertise their services right and if they are able to get their clients to to advertise by word of mouth. The one gig i want to promote of his is I will successfully promote and rank your fiverr gig, article, or website like crazy for $5 . For $5 this is an absolute bargain. This guy seems is the real deal when it comes to SEO and internet marketing and his ratings speak for themselves. He's a level 2 seller and all of his gigs are rated 100%. That is exceptional. A lot of my gigs are rated 100% but I have a few that aren't because of negative customers in the past. This seller will definitely give you amazing service just check all of his ratings. 

     Hilgard I do have suggestions for you like I always do other sellers based on my own experiences being here almost 2 years. I think you should have a tip gig. Time it for 4 days or longer because your ETA is 2-4 days for a lot of your gigs. Oh and I see another thing you could probably fix. You may not be busy now but as soon as the SEO gigs start to dwindle down or people get overloaded with work they will suspend their gigs. They might take a break even and you will be get hit with gigs hard! So you might want to change the ETA (estimated Time of Arrival to 6 or 7 days when you start getting busier. believe me people will wait if its a good gig and your gigs will build up more too.

    Hilgard Create a few new gigs. Maybe some Facebook advertising ones. The twitter is great but don't leave out the other social networking sites. Also, I think that if you did video tutorials or a troubleshooting gig to help people with their website problems that might be cool too. Hilgard You have some nice gigs keep up the good work. If you aren't checking out his gigs yet why the hell not. Go now and check them out. Just click on his name or his picture. 

     Until next time have a Fiverrtastic Day readers. We have reached just over 6000 views and over 3000 Facebook fans. Keep up the amazing work. Tell everyone how much you love Fiverr and How much you love Fiverrtastic Blog. :)

Makes banana look appealing and has an ear for corn

Hi Fiverrtastic Readers,
Ok so I came across this seller who literally has the most amazing slight of hand advertising. His name is Neatpuff and Either he's a good slight of hand or he's a really good magician, better than the last guy I talked about in a previous blog. He will literally use a banana or ear of corn to advertise your product. Here check out the banana gig I will produce a unique video of your logo or message and reveal it inside a banana with message confetti for $5. He's had one negative rating out of all of his orders on the banana gig and it was probably a buyer who cancelled because he didn't deliver on time. He will also use an ear of corn either cooked or uncooked with advertise your product too. I think Neatpuff  is an amazing seller if you want some original top of the line advertising. I was so tempted to order but I didn't because Sometimes I have $5 to spare and other time I don't and a banana and ear of corn can only hold so much. Fiverrtastic is 12 letters and his order says 13 letters or less. it would just look crowded. I would suggest this to anyone though.


Neatpuff I only have a little advice for you. You are probably the most innovative level 2 seller I've seen in a while and you got a full variety of gigs. keep up the creativity. Never stop coming up with ideas. Here's a suggestion though. That tip gig, make it 5 or 6 days because on average that's how long some of your gigs are. Even if you can fulfill a tip in 24hrs, if someone orders a gig multiple and its a larger project and orders it under tip you're screwed! A person would look at it as you not fulfilling that persons order. Some customers are like that. Believe me I've had a customer order a T-shirt design under a tip and it was 1 or 2 day time period and my t-shirt designs take way longer and I was irritated. Oh here's some more advice, suspend gigs that aren't selling or that get more then 5 to 10 orders in queue. You don't want to get overwhelmed. There are times I want to pull my hair out and I only have 10 to 20 total over the course of week. You have the creative gigs that are the ones people will pay good money for and ones people will wait for. Let the queue build up but not too much. Neatpuff if you ever need anything don't be afraid to contact me you know how to get a hold of me on Fiverr.

Check out his advertising video for his banana gig below (I had to upload it to youtube to my Fiverrtastic page to get it to work. Blogspot hates me sometimes...lol):

I can also be reached on my Fiverrtastic Fanpage on Facebook. Fiverrtastic readers if you or someone you know wants to be featured on the blog send me a message. I'll look at their gig and get back to them.

Until next time have a Fiverrtastic Day! :)

Update Part 2

Hey Fiverrtastic Readers,
Yesterday I discussed readers who have made it to Top Rated Seller from level 1 or Level 2. Today I want to discuss sellers who have made it from Level 1 to Level 2 and are doing really well at Level 2.

Level 1 to level 2

Youtubefun: He is a little wacky and he might be certifiable, but his quick turnaround time and his tenacity to do 1 and 2 day gigs has made him a level 2 seller in just a mere 3 months. This guy is literally going places. if he was on a reality show i would watch him. Hopefully he becomes a TRS soon because he deserves to. If you want to see some of his work go to http://www.youtube.com/TheCrackedEgg

 Catvertising: When I first met her on Fiverr she was only a level one and she was doing really well but she just wasn't getting the whole Fiverr thing yet. After talking to her extensively and writing a blog for her she became a level 2 not long after. I wish her much luck as a level 2 and hope she becomes a TRS someday.

Adamrussel: The cheer up video guy. When I first met him he didn't even have a level. Sam Cornwell The community manager and a Top Rated seller on Fiverr referred me to him after sending a cheer up video to me. Adam is now a level 2 seller and his gigs are quite steady. Adam if you read this good luck with your future endeavors man. You're very talented and you have lots of potential. Fiverr is just a starting point for you.

Voiceworkpro- You all remember her right? The Marilyn Monroe lookalike. She actually sounded like her too and she is amazingly talented. She went from Level 1 to Level 2 and she is going to be featured in LA weekly. I will keep you updated on the Fiverrtastic Facebook Page.

Gorungigs: Remember him? He did a lot of drawing gigs. He's most famous for the swipe drawing video gig and for using his dog Ozzy in video gigs. He has a variety of different gigs for people to choose from. He made it to level 2 nt long after I blogged about him. Awesome Job! May you become a TRS someday!

tn5rr2012: The seller who would read your family history. She would literally go back as far as 4 generations or farther investigating your family history. At first, when I met her on a Fiverrwall, a Fiverr facebook page, she had no level, then she skyrocketed to level 1. Then she went to level to. She had to cancel orders here and there and I guess because she cancelled too many orders Fiverr demoted her. They didnt just demote her she lost her badge. She was still getting steady orders but she had no badge. We talked, she got it straightened around and Tada! She's a level 2 again

Missoptimistic: Last but certainly not least is the lady with mad beats! She made Fiverrtastic sound cool with a Lyrical poem. She's gotten a decent amount of orders since I worked with her. Hey where's the tip gig? Oh awesome job on putting up a voiceover gig. If you ever need help coming up with ideas for gigs get a hold of me. :)

Now lets discuss the people who have left Fiverr or Taken a break to pursue other interests.

SpandyAndy: Last time i knew on his Facebook page he was keeping it tight and bright in Australia. He is pursuing other interests doing street entertaining spreading his colorful joy with the world. But from what I can see on his Facebook page it looks like he is back in Vancouver, BC, Canada. I hope you come back to Fiverr someday. SpandyAndy I will miss you.

Mrevilhairday: Remember the bean guy I ordered off. Of course you do. I was turned into a bean and I looked pretty cool as a bean! Well he went on a much needed sabbatical from doing gigs. Whether he comes back or not remains to be seen. But I wish him luck while he pursues other interests and takes a much needed break from gigs.

Pidge121 She was the Woman who drew me a tattoo design of the angel and devil wing and the realistic portrait of myself. She is a very talented artist. She decided to stop doing gigs to focus on her tattoo artist career. Believe me there is more money to be made as a Tattoo artist. I wish you luck in your future endeavors Pidge even though we see each other on Facebook sometimes...lol

Matographer- The frog put away his frog suit unfortunately and is no longer selling gigs. I haven't seen him on in over 2 months. He had some really cool gigs too. Whatever You're doing Matographer I wish you much success.

Brack3n- They are the husband and wife duo who did jingles and personalized songs for people. They are either taking a break or they have stopped selling all together. the gig is on pause so i imagine they are taking a break.

If you have ideas for people you want to see on Fiverrtastic or if you want to be part of Fiverrtastic contact me on my Fiverrtastic Facebook page. Have a Fiverrtastic Day everyone. I may write another blog today if i have time. if not it will be tomorrow. This gig is really cool too. But I'm going to keep it a secret.

Update On Where They Are Now

 Hey Fiverrtastic Readers,
Are you wondering where the Fiverr sellers I've written about in the past are now. Well let's just say the've moved on up since I've written about them last. Some have moved up to Top Rated Seller and Some have moved up to Level 2. They are now making more sales than ever either directly or indirectly because of Fiverr's Front page, Fiverr's Facebook page, and Fiverrtastic.

Jinnajuice The Crazy ex girlfriend seller she went from a level 1 seller to a Top Rated Seller in just 3 weeks. No lie! She is the hugest sucess story I have ever seen on Fiverr. Kudos to her.

Remember Alyssaerin The girl who made animated objects and food drawings. She's a Top Rated Seller now. From a Level 2 to a Top Rated Seller. That's really cool. I wouldn't have known if I didn't see it in the LinkedIn Fiverr Group. I wish you all the best as a TRS.

Oh and Djemotion How could anyone forget DJ. He's a TRS now. He was a Level 2 and He should have been a TRS when I wrote about him. Awesome job DJ. He's been featured in The Huffington Post, Yahoo News, and more recently in The Winnipeg Free Press. He just created a Fiverr course called The Fiverr Gold Mine. I wish you much success on all your future endeavors DJ.

Remember TofuPanda of course you do! She went from a level 2 seller to a TRS. She gets a ton of gigs ordered now and makes better money than she did when she first started. She's the one that sells the cartoon drawings with the captions. I ordered one for my Facebook image and one for a business card. She is an amazing artist! I wish you luck in all your future endeavors Tofunmi.

Oh and remember SexySamantha of course you do she went from a level 2 to a TRS too. She sells a lot of different gigs so if you're not familiar with her gigs go order from her today. Samantha awesome Job!

Oh and who could forget The Plastic Bag Man RobertoCarlos and his hairless kitty. He helped me make a Valentines video for Missy when I was dating her still. He did an amazing job! Now that you're a TRS Roberto I wish you all the best!

Oh and who could forget the death defying MrMarcus. I thought this guy was certifiable but his gigs are awesome. The only gig he didn't have was wrestling a tiger or swimming with a shark. He is so awesome. I wish you best of luck now that you are a TRS Mr Marcus. Now you'll have money to pay for emergency room visits....lol. Just kidding.

Ok this blog is to be continued because there are level 1's who have made it to level 2 and people who have put Fiverr on hold to focus on other things. So keep an eye out for part 2 tomorrow. Until next time have a Fiverrtastic Day readers.

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

 Hey Fiverrtastic readers,
So I was randomly searching Fiverr and came across this amazing seller who will send you 5 pictures of a hairstyles that was personally picked out just for you, your hair type and lifestyle for $5. The sellers name is vegashairgirl and she seems like she could become very successful selling fashion advice. I myself don't need a haircut  and I don't need a specialty hairstyle (my head is shaved), but I just had to show this gig to the world! She has only been on Fiverr about a month and she is a level 1 seller. That says something about her sales. A) she's done 10 or more sales in a month B) she's maintained a 100% gig rating. That's impressive. She's a cosmetologist in Las Vegas who's been doing hair for 18 years. I myself can't imagine doing any of the same thing for 18 years but if you love what you do stick with it. Vegashairgirl has some other amazing gigs to do with vacationing, product review, and she even has a tip gig. Some sellers i discuss don't realize they can have a tip gig. Honestly if I needed some hairstyle advice I would be buying a gig.

Vegashairgirl I have a few suggestions for you. Try adding videos to your gigs. even if it's simple slide shows to showcase what you offer a simple picture, text, and music video made in windows movie maker really brings out a gig. Put up a gig to do with writing for fashion blogs and magazines. There may be a demographic of people looking for articles on hair, beauty, or fashion. I write articles and blogs and believe me I know nothing about fashion. The more people out there that do articles about specific topics that have a specific demographic the better. Vegashairgirl Maybe you can do a gig with postcards or something symbolic of Vegas. Las Vegas is iconic for what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. You live in Vegas be creative. Lastly, offer more writing gigs people are always looking for people to do writing, video, and graphic design gigs. If your good at a certain skill make money with it. Charge customers more than 1 gig if you have to. Set a word limit. You will be a level 2 in no time I can see it. It takes a while to become a Top rated Seller and very few do unless your sales are astronomical but level 2 is good. I'm a level 2 and I make pretty good money. I might be a TRS if it wasn't for some of the ratings I've gotten.

Seriously people, if you want to check out a really cool gig check out Vegashairgirl's I will send you 5 pictures of a hairstyles that was personally picked out just for you, your hair type and lifestyle for $5 . She will ensure that your order is dealt with in the most professional manner. Thanks everyone for helping me reach over 5600 views and over 3000 Facebook likes. This blog has been around 4 months now and still going strong. Until next time have a Fiverrtastic Day. :) 

Visually Appealing

Hi Fiverrtastic Readers,
Ok so today I want to discuss a Top Rated Seller who is a logo designer. This seller helped me make a new logo for my Custom Creationz website. I was browsing through all the different logo designers because I didn't want to redesign it myself. the one I already made was tacky and I really don't have an eye for my own style. I can design other peoples stuff A OK but mine...no! So While I was browsing I seen this Top Rated Seller by the name of Designinc. He only had 2 orders in queue when I ordered from him and the seller has had over 2500 positive reviews. So I thought to myself hey why not. I jumped on the chance as quick as I could. I sent my previous logo and explained I had no specific color scheme just a contract of lights and darks would be fine. I had 4 choices to pick from. 3 of them I had so much deciding over and I narrowed it down to 2. Finally after about 5 or 10 minutes of deciding I decided on one of them. I think that this seller went above and beyond what some sellers offer and for him to complete the order in 2 days was amazing! 


Designinc, you've been in the Fiverr biz a little bit longer than I have. I've never heard of you but you're an amazing seller. Just by the way your sales page is written up and by how you intricately describe everything you offer and don't offer in detail. I'm a Level 2 seller because of some of my sales early out but I am an experienced seller in the Fiverr universe. I noticed you don't have a tip gig. (maybe you do I didn't see it) Put one up or keep it active it comes in handy. There's been times I suspend a gig and people still want to order and are driven away because there is no gig to order. People sometimes like to order the tip gig when they don't have a gig that matches the service they want from you or they want to give an extra incentive. The more exposure you have on Fiverr the better. I always maintain at least 10-12 different gigs. Designnc you do amazing work so I'm not surprised you have over 2500 positive reviews and all the negatives (a mere 40) are just douchebags. (excuse my language but some of the people that leave negatives can be real pricks) Out of 4 logos i wasn't fond of 1. I was super impressed. $1 a logo is what it breaks down to (after Fiverr makes their dollar). Try going outside Fiverr and getting a logo for $5, let alone four choices. We work hard to please people and most times we do. The Fiverr community is just that a community of individuals from all around the world brought together by the World Wide Web.


If you haven't checked out Designinc yet and want to see some of the work he did for me check out these 4 logos.

(1)                                                                                    
                                                                   

(2)

(3)

                                                                             (4)

I chose #3 and if you want to check out how it looks go to www.customcreationz.biz . This logo designer is someone not to be missed and you should take up the offer to have 4 different designs made because there would be at least 1 you would like. I only offer 3-4 designs and 2 revisions and I charge extra if they want extra designs, the PSD or AI, EPS, or extra file types. Designinc gave the jpeg of each logo, the jpeg of all 4 on a page for viewing side by side, and the EPS file. That is a deal of a lifetime! As soon as his gig is unpaused run and order you'll be glad you did. Until next time readers have a Fiverrtastic day.

Lil Bit of This and Lil Bit of That

Hey Fiverrtastic readers,
Ok so this seller really struck a nerve really close to my heart. I love magic! let me repeat that emphatically I LOVE MAGIC! I have a Criss Angel Magic Kit. I can only do the basic tricks but I can do them. ;) This guy on the other hand has got skills. He will teach you an amazing card trick for $5 . I kept watching his slight of hand trying to figure out what he did and I couldn't keep up. I think I figured it out just by watching the intro video but I'm not sure. The sellers name is Magicteacher and he has some really cool gigs. If you haven't checked him out yet you need to. For a few of his gigs he says in the description that if you buy 2 you get the 3rd free. That is a great sales tactic.I don't know if it would work for me? I have to wheel and deal with customers all the time by quoting gigs at lower rates than what they should be. But I like his thinking and if it works for him he should keep doing it. Never fix what isn't broken. These gigs are the most original I've seen in awhile I just wish there was more of them to choose from.

Magicteacher here's a little advice to increase sales. Put some more magic gigs up if you have other tricks you can put up. People love magic it's original, fresh, and innovative. Put up a few into videos involving magic people pay good money for into videos. The money comes from the gig extras like green screen, HD, and even express delivery. Oh by the way sometimes delivering above and beyond what a customer expects will help increase your sales too because a customer comments or a customers word of mouth increase sales immensely. So, ensure to deliver things customers wouldn't expect you to deliver even if they ordered a $20 order. You are an amazing seller ans I wish you the best of luck in the Fiverr game. I will be watching your gigs closely because I absolutely love your gigs and I might use your gigs sometime or another to promote my blog. Remember that originality will beat out anything else in the Fiverr game. Go check out Magicteacher's gigs now. 


here is the intro video of Magicteacher's card trick gig:
