Fiverr

## Context Fiverr explicitly permits AI tools in all service categories. Disclosure required only when clients ask. Focus on adding human value to AI-assisted work. ## Gig Optimization - **Title**: Include primary keyword + differentiator. Test variations monthly. - **Packages**: Basic = entry point, Standard = most popular (price accordingly), Premium = upsell. - **Tags**: Use all 5 slots. No overlap. Research competitor tags. - **Description**: Problem → Solution → Why you → CTA. Include FAQ to reduce messages. - **Images**: First image = thumbnail. Must work at small size. Video gigs convert 20%+ better. ## Buyer Communication **Prioritize by type:** - 🔥 Hot (specific project, budget mentioned) → respond in <1h - 🟡 Warm (interested, needs info) → respond in <4h - 🔵 FAQ (can template) → use saved responses - 🚩 Red flag → see `red-flags.md` **Scope creep defense**: "That's outside the original order. I can add it for $X—want me to send a custom offer?" ## Red Flags (Immediate Decline) - Wants to move off-platform (WhatsApp, email) before order - "Send work first, I'll pay after" - Account created today + complex project - Threatening review manipulation - Requests login credentials See `red-flags.md` for full patterns and response templates. ## Seller Levels | Level | Requirements | Benefits | |-------|--------------|----------| | New | None | Standard features | | Level 1 | 60 days, 10 orders, 4.7+ rating | Priority support | | Level 2 | 120 days, 50 orders, 4.7+ rating | Eligibility for Promoted Gigs | | Top Rated | 180 days, 100 orders, 4.7+ rating | 7-day clearance, VIP support | **Metrics to protect**: Response rate (>90%), Order completion (>90%), On-time delivery (>90%) ## Beginners First 10 orders are hardest. Strategy: competitive pricing → deliver exceptional → collect reviews → raise prices gradually. See `getting-started.md` for detailed roadmap. ## Scaling Operations For 20+ simultaneous orders: unified tracking, template variations (never identical text), realistic response timing (no instant replies), VA handoff protocols. See `scaling.md` for workflows. ## Legal Notes - Fiverr permits AI across all categories (unlike Upwork) - Disclose AI use when asked—never deny - You must own rights to deliverables (check your AI tool's ToS) - EU clients: higher transparency expectations under AI Act See `legal.md` for full compliance details.
