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

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
