I have shared a simple and best strategy to get your first fiverr order in one to three days on the basis of my experience. A brief description of me is that I am providing freelancing services on fiverr for more than three years and have earned almost $45K during this time period.
If you have just started on fiverr, then you may or may not have heard about Buyer Requests on fiverr. The buyer requests in fiverr are basically jobs posted by people around the world. Freelancers bid on these jobs at fiverr to win them. So, if you are a beginner on fiverr and your gig is not appearing in search results and you want to start getting orders then use this fiver Buyer Requests option.

Now, it is not very easy to get a job through fiverr buyer requests because many people are applying for it. However, I found a simple and best strategy to get first order on fiverr, and later on, I used that strategy many times to get orders.
Let’s see this step by step strategy to get your first order on fiverr.
Step 1: Log in to fiverr profile and open your fiverr account dashboard. Click on More and then click on Buyer Requests.
Step 2: Here you will see Buyers Request related to your gigs and skills. Now, look for a job that you feel is most suitable as per your skills and you can deliver amazing results in that. Hover the pointer at the right side just below the budget price and you will see Send Offer button. Click on it.
Step 3: Select the gig that is most relevant to the posted job because you will use this gig to apply for the job.
Step 4: Write the description of your offer. Now the description of an offer on fiverr Buyers Requests is the most crucial part. Your buyer request must contain the following parts:
- Start with mentioning your skill and experience
- Mention that you can do their work on a slightly lower price (this trick works most of the times)
- Tell them that you will offer them unlimited revisions.
- Tell them that you can deliver their work one or two days before their mentioned deadline
- Mention that you are willing to do a small sample related to their work.
- Finally, put the link of your previous work or portfolio. This should be a google drive or drop box link ideally.
Once you are done with setting Price, Delivery Time and Number of Revisions, then click Submit Offer button.
I have given a sample description of fiverr offer that you can use to get your first order on fiverr quickly.
“Hello sir/ madam, I am an experienced video editor and I am willing to do your project on a lower price ($45) with timely and quick delivery (6 days) and unlimited revisions. If you want, then I am willing to do one YouTube short for you as a sample so that you can get an idea about my expertise. To check my previous work delivered to my clients, please click the link given below. I am eager to work with you and I am waiting for your response.”
“Insert your portfolio link here”
So, the job for which I have written this offer has a total budget price of $50. So, I have reduced it to $45 in my offer. The buyer needs deliver in 7 days, but I have mentioned that I can deliver in 6 days. Since, the buyer wants 10 viral YouTube Shorts for his channel, so I am offering him 1 YouTube short as sample. If buyer likes my work then they can hire me otherwise they do not need to pay for the sample.
You may use this description format while applying for jobs on fiverr. However, make sure to replace the highlighted parts according to the job requirement you are applying for.
I know, there are many things which we are over-delivering by writing this job offer but think it as an investment in your own profile. What if you get some quick jobs in the start of your fiverr journey and you get a very good rating. Later on, when your gigs start ranking and you start getting orders, then you may increase your gigs pricing and you may put your own terms and conditions. However, in the beginning, you have to over-deliver in order to compete with other freelancers who are applying for these jobs.
