2. 25 Simple Steps to Becoming a
Success on YouFiverr
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
FIRST STEPS ARE SO EASY BUT....
Well if you decided to have your own business on any fiverr
like site you need to know few simple steps.
Here's a plan composed of simple steps and advices based on
my experience in the last 3 years.
The first steps are the most important.
Even if they seem simple, a lot of people forget to do or
make them incomplete.
3. STEP 1 - WHAT IS YOUR HOBBIES
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
Well is easy to say but we sometimes struggle to find what's
best for us to do.
Here are some points that should guide you:
● feel happy to do what you decided to do
● time passes quickly and you are amazed to see how much
you've done
● have a sense of pleasure thinking that you did
● what you do is unique and continue or develop what you
know that people have already made
4. STEP 2 - WHAT ARE THEIR
PROBLEMS ?
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
Then you really need something very important - to be sure
what are you good at is that things people ask for..
So you need to find out what people are searching for..
What are their problems and how to find fast, reliable and
effective solutions.
Solution is again at your hand, but many people forget to look
for what people search.
5. STEP 2 - WHAT ARE THEIR
PROBLEMS ?
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
Here are some resources where you can find today trends.
fiverr
best fiverr like sites in the world
facebook
google
pinterest
youtube
twitter
hubpages
wikiHow
eHow
6. STEP 2 - WHAT ARE THEIR
PROBLEMS ?
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
All these sites have a small search box where you can quickly
see how many searches have what you decided to do
And almost all these sites have news and trends on their
home/first page.
No matter what talent you may have, you'll find your way
.between now day trends.
7. STEP 3 - AVAILABILITY,
COMMUNICATION AND GOOD
INTENTIONS
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
I'll give you a simple example using two completely different
cases:
I'm a musician with 7 years of experience, i play the guitar,
electric guitar, mandolin and classic guitar. I'm a composer and
audio editor with over 5 years of professional experience..... so
on and so forth...
Dad, author and internet marketer. I'm usually 24 hours
online. A better communication makes a better deal and a
quality final product. Leave me a message anytime to get to
know about my gigs if you are having any problems...Cheers !!!
8. STEP 3 - AVAILABILITY,
COMMUNICATION AND GOOD
INTENTIONS
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
I mean no one is really interested in how many years of
experience you may have.
Is difficult to verify and nobody wastes time to look when it
is about a $5 service.
And there is that feeling that I have read too many times too
much praise on mediocre sellers.
On the other hand, in example two you put emphasis on
exactly what every buyer wants to hear.- availability,
communication and good intentions.
9. STEP 4 - FIRST STEP TO BRAND
YOURSELF
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
Well this step is about the first step to brand yourself.
Ok, let's don't use big words, let's say I so too many times
empty spaces instead of a simple profile photo.
Any empty space is an empty feeling or worse...
I know, you are a private person, or you don't want to be
recognized by anybody or you don't want to share your
personal data with complete strangers so on and so forth...
10. STEP 4 - FIRST STEP TO BRAND
YOURSELF
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
Or you simply don't know why, you have a bad feeling and
that's it.
Well I have good news and bad news.
That seller who has enough confidence to buy your services is
not a stranger.
Is your friend.
Is like you've already drank a cup of coffee together and that
can not happen without being face to face.
11. STEP 4 - FIRST STEP TO BRAND
YOURSELF
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
People are curious and usually want to buy from the people
they like and is nothing cool in an empty space when is about
relationship.
So try to upload something even is an animate figure of you,
will be amazing if one day you'll show your real face -
everybody will enjoy that, especially if you achieve success on
the road.
12. STEP 5 - COMPETITION VERSUS
CREATION
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
We live in a world where competition seems to be the rule
All feel a competition against all
Long ago, people were born standards and rules and we still
follow them assiduously
Well, if it's to give you absolute advice, please do not think that
you will find a way to success using competitive way
13. STEP 5 - COMPETITION VERSUS
CREATION
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
You have your own style, your own behaviour and nothing is
better than this.
Instead of competition please feel creation, nobody is able to
compete with you if you just create using your own feelings
and skills
But you'll become a slave of an wild competition if you lose
the creation focus.
14. STEP 6 – CONCERNS
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
When first started to work on youfiverr you have a strange
sense of alienation as such first day at a new job.
Easily overcome this moment and after some time you really
feel like you are an active part of that community.
No need to feel like this.
Two things determine and shape this evolution, one good, the
other bad.
If you don't have concerns and you imagine that you will be
successful and you will immediately receive an order - this is a
positive attitude that will lead to success anyway.
15. STEP 6 – CONCERNS
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
And yes, after you'll receive first order, enthusiasm and energy
will undoubtedly lead to success.
Conversely, if you are overwhelmed by the multitude of
talents of others and forget that people may have started
long ago, it is possible not only to not be successful but to
think it's hard to make money online using any site like fiverr.
Your inner state is an absolutely and necessary step for
success..
16. STEP 7 - I WISH I KNEW MORE
ABOUT HOW TO START
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
You will not forget when you have started, we all feel nostalgia
and think that I wish I knew more about how to start, how to
make it better, how to create optimal working conditions.
Well, I do not think it will happen if you start by making small
things.
A lot of small things will become a habit and after a while will
lead you to bigger and better things.
I do not think you will ever have dreamed optimal conditions to
do whatever you want
But I'm sure you can use what you have now to begin.
17. STEP 8 - TEST AND REPEAT
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
Like I said above is possible even have no idea what are you
good at.
You have a basic feeling depend of your expertise.
You need to test and repeat, then you need to test new things
- this is the best environment for testing.
What better conditions do you want more than real hungry
buyers in great need for good services???
Here is fire and you need to know how to handle.
Will be impossible if you don't test and repeat and test again
and again until you'll find out what works better for you.
18. STEP 9 – MISTAKES
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
If I look in the past I realize how many mistakes I made. No
matter how and what I will write here, you will make mistakes.
I remember people who wanted to tell me this but I wanted to
be perfect.
Is undoubtedly a quality of those who are successful but it's
also a very thin limit between your desire for perfection and a
certain extremism that has nothing to do with business,
success, profit, money.
Don't lose your spare time with too many specialized things,
instead try to feel the real market.
19. STEP 10 – MONEY
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
If I look in the past I realize how many mistakes I made. No
matter how and what I will write here, you will make mistakes.
I remember people who wanted to tell me this but I wanted to
be perfect.
Is undoubtedly a quality of those who are successful but it's
also a very thin limit between your desire for perfection and a
certain extremism that has nothing to do with business,
success, profit, money.
Don't lose your spare time with too many specialized things,
instead try to feel the real market.
20. STEP 11 - YOU NEED TO BE VERY
WELL ORGANISED
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
You need to be very well organized
Here are some things I've done in the past and still do and that
saves me time and money:
● make a file in which to organize your micro jobs by category
● uses a dedicated email address for youfiverr activity and
which may send messages to email address that you use most
often
● when you get several orders simultaneously, start with what
you seem more complicated and end with the simple one
● Do NOT use automated publishing micro jobs software, even
if you feel that this save your time.
21. STEP 12 - YOUR PRESENCE
MATTERS
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
Your presence matters.
Make it a daily habit to get into your youfiverr.account
There is a system that monitors when you were last time
online.
Or if you're online right now.
It is a sign of seriousness to buyers, no one will buy anything
from a seller's account, which came in a month ago.
22. STEP 13 - TITLE & CATEGORY
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
When you publish your skill on youfiverr remember that each
element, each empty box to be filled in carefully.
Let's take a simple example on youfiverr - If you look closely
at your job permalink you will notice that appears like here:
youfiverr.com/Music-Audio/156/record-a-professional-
voicemail-greeting
That's mean site/category/job-number/job-title and you can see
how important is to chose appropriate category and title.
23. STEP 13 - TITLE & CATEGORY
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
Take your time and choose carefully your:
TITLE.
● try to not be too long
● try to make people to click to find out more
● do not include strange elements like )(@><
● do not include that "I will" twice so when you copy/paste
from your notepad remember you already have in your site
''I will" and ''for $"
● try to use special sentences and phrases like you receive every
day in your email - special phrases or persuasive words that
will influence people to click and visit your job.
24. STEP 13 - TITLE & CATEGORY
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
CATEGORY.
Let's give you a simple example I found yesterday on other
micro job site when one seller insert his gig on a wrong
category.
Just to see how important is. I will send you an e-book in PDF
workbook format to help you write your first book
This job was inserted on ''writings'' category but the right
category is ''tips and advice''.
Now just take a look to hubpages category system.
25. STEP 13 - TITLE & CATEGORY
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
You can see how many categories.
More than you''l find on youfiverr and more descriptive.
There are a reason for this.
Any fiverr like site script was made with the clear crystal
intention - to be SIMPLE.
26. STEP 13 - TITLE & CATEGORY
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
A simple platform where you can insert your skills in no time.
Where you will not be overloaded with a lot of windows and
little boxes.
Where you can insert a lot of your skills on "other" category.
So if you have only 18 category on youfiverr please take your
time and choose carefully.
27. STEP 14 - DEVELOP YOURSELF
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
You need to continuously develop yourself.
That is about to reinvest the money earned in yourself.
That may mean buying something that shorten your learning
curve so know more ways to provide your services
Or maybe your curiosity about other youfiverr seller's work.
Anyway it is not a good way to spend all your money earned
into other directions, at least not until your earnings become
substantial.
It might sound strange but this activity is just like a business
ofline , make a good habit and invest and expand.
28. STEP 15 – DESCRIPTION
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
Your gig description is where you can insert final things that
will determine any people to buy your work.
But why some sellers sell much more than others??
Is a simple coincidence?
Not at all.
29. STEP 15 – DESCRIPTION
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
Well here are few steps you need to accomplish if your
intention is to easy sell to any body:
● make it personal, feel like the buyer is in front of you, use
simple words
forget about what ''I offer'' and insist on ''what you get''
●
matter a fact try to remove all ''I'' and find out appropriate
words around ''you''
● try to act simultaneous into 2 direction: one is about to say
loud and clear about an important BONUS, second try to
over deliver the job itself.
30. STEP 15 – DESCRIPTION
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
●always share with your customer your basic intention:so try
to lead the communication and ask that questions that make
the buyer to speak the way you want.
●
● try to find a way to anticipate and plan buyer responses so
do not be caught unprepared
●
some percent of the buyers (too small in my opinion) will
●
want to know more - it's a sign your description is incomplete,
test and test again
31. STEP 15 – DESCRIPTION
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
● try to include in your description branding elements that
make you feeling like the time spend with the entire job
deserve the effort - a lot of people will see anyway everything
and after few month your reputation will be alive.
anticipate buyer reactions AFTER the selling process is
●
finished in your description - you make it several times and
have that feeling that is easy to understood - it is not for a
first time view, try to compensate thinking like a buyer.
32. STEP 15 – DESCRIPTION
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
● push on moving, emotional statement, people buy somehow
emotionally, they want what they want without a logical reason
- because they are comfortable or lazy or because they want
to stop one pain, or because they want to feel pleasure, rarely
because they really need.
don't do what I did on my first job - somebody ( a casino
●
owner) order my promotion micro job and I was happy but.......
so try to include something like : Please do not order if you
don’t provide accurate info or your product is porn, dating,
sexually-oriented, gambling, hate, drug or illegal content.
●
So your job description is very important and you have only
●
one chance to keep your audience attention so think twice and
do once.
33. STEP 16 - INSTRUCTIONS TO
BUYER
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
You have there a box named ''Instructions to buyer''
● I found almost everybody does not complete that window.
Why?
Because:
● they want to finish quickly
● they have no idea what to say
● even they have some idea they are inside of some weird
feeling like maybe better is to not say anything
34. STEP 16 - INSTRUCTIONS TO
BUYER
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
Wrong.
All spaces inside any fiverr like site is made with very good
reasons, that's why right now fiverr is a world wide trend in
his infant stage..
First of all is a sign of communications even if you write a
simple ''provide info''
It's a personal message.
A personal touch.
35. STEP 16 - INSTRUCTIONS TO
BUYER
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
Please keep in your mind - that words will appear to the
buyer ONLY and AFTER he order.
Let's see what I use to do:
● provide me info
● here is more information in case you need
● because on the order page was not enough space here is the
answers for the questions you may have
● here is some sample about my work, please take a look and
let me know your decision
36. STEP 17 – KEYWORDS
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
Tags or keywords are simple words - people will find your
skill on google and search engines based on that words.
You have limited space so choose carefully.
37. STEP 17 – KEYWORDS
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
I use to find out based on:
● a little search using the words are already included in title.
● other sellers gigs with the same direction
● searching on google using long phrase like free keyword
research tools and you'll find things like Google’s Keyword
Tool, Market Samurai, Microsoft Advertising Intelligence,
SEMRush, so on and so forth
Take your time and do this, will worth.
38. STEP 18 - MAXIMUM DAYS TO
COMPLETE BOX
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
Maximum days to complete box is so important that I have
here on hubpages not enough space to describe.
Even if you provide an amazing service people will judge you
firstly by your delivery time.
You can see on more than 80% of good feedbacks, they say
almost unconscious - ON TIME!!!, And he delivered fast in 1
day, quick turnaround, Very fast work, very fast response.....
39. STEP 18 - MAXIMUM DAYS TO
COMPLETE BOX
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
We, like people, feel a sign of respect when one buyer send us
quickly solutions.
And yes, I use to be mad when I heard BETTER LATER
THEN NEVER
40. STEP 18 - MAXIMUM DAYS TO
COMPLETE BOX
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
So better will be to make a habit using two direction:
● one is to write on your job one more day for delivery
● second is to finish your work - two days earlier
In this way you can be sure you'll receive good words
41. STEP 19 - A BIG DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN FAILURE AND SUCCESS
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
A simple picture can make a big difference between success
and failure.
Now days a new wave was born with the appearance and
amazing development of pinterest - VISUAL MARKETING
We don't have time any more to read all things around us,
that's why we evaluate people, services, goods and feelings
based on pictures and videos.
42. STEP 19 - A BIG DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN FAILURE AND SUCCESS
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
So here is few of my thoughts regard the way your picture
must be:
● Unique
● very good quality
● descriptive for your job
43. STEP 19 - A BIG DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN FAILURE AND SUCCESS
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
● with your face, logo, web sign inside so to be able to brand
yourself
● with youfiverr logo or domain inside so to be able to brand
and help the community development
44. STEP 19 - A BIG DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN FAILURE AND SUCCESS
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
I've seen too many times pour quality pictures from really
good sellers and is not right.
And I've seen a lot of simple sellers making money online on
fiverr like sites based on a simple habit - to upload only
appropriate picture.
45. STEP 20 - ALLOW USERS TO ORDER
MORE THAN ONE BOX
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
Allow users to order more than one box can be tricky if you
don't make a correct evaluation of your time and resources.
I mean it is possible to receive too much to work and find
yourself unable to meet your commitment and this will not
lead to success.
However, I consider an amazing improvement for that sites
who use only $5 like fiverr for instance.
46. STEP 20 - ALLOW USERS TO ORDER
MORE THAN ONE BOX
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
On youfiverr you can ask for $5 to $50 at once so using
this little box you can really feel like micro job sites is not a
good description for such a community.
Your advantage on youfiverr in this case.
47. STEP 21 - SIMPLE WAYS OF
PROMOTIONS
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
Well you did all the steps above and still have not received any
order?
You are not alone.
Me either two years ago.
Until I find out I need to promote my work.
48. STEP 21 - SIMPLE WAYS OF

order?
You are not alone.
Me either two years ago.

49. STEP 21 - SIMPLE WAYS OF
PROMOTIONS

I mean too much sellers come on the site, publish their micro
jobs then go away expecting orders.
I bet nothing will happen.
50. STEP 21 - SIMPLE WAYS OF
PROMOTIONS
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
Here are few simple ways you can use and promote your
skills:
you have more then 323 social networking sites sharing
buttons inside youfiverr at the end of your micro job page -
USE IT
you can SAY to everybody around about your skills published
on youfiverr, when I say SAY I mean not by sending links but
with your own words on a personal approach like you meet a
friend and drink a coffee.
51. STEP 21 - SIMPLE WAYS OF
PROMOTIONS
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
● you can make that link short using bitly and count down how
many unique hits received your job in a week, if it is less then
1000 unique hits don't ask me why you don't received orders
until now - there are really skilled people around you so you
need to do this work
● you can go to youtube which is the first video provider and
second search engine in the world and make simple videos based
on unique pictures and words
52. STEP 21 - SIMPLE WAYS OF
PROMOTIONS
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
● you can use facebook and facebook groups and start a free
campagne giving more details about what you are good at

facebook fan page so every time when you publish on facebook

55. STEP 21 - SIMPLE WAYS OF
PROMOTIONS
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
And are more than 1000 different ways and places you can
free promote your skill.
In my opinion, when you promote your own service and talent
you are more entitled to be heard somehow more that if you
are promoting mlm venture, affiliate pages and other ways to
make money online.
Because you are the final solution and NOBODY stay
between you and your customer.
56. STEP 22 - ADVANCED WAYS OF
PROMOTIONS
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
Here are more ways of promotion, maybe not so simple but
very efficient:

more than 100 other free blogs providers - will be a elegant

free ebook using openoffice - you need only to insert your links
and give for free and will become viral if contain real good
stuff
Like I said you need to promote your own work, nobody will
promote for you but will worth if you use free ways.
59. STEP 23 – OBSERVER
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
Almost everything I wrote above make you thinking that I give
seller advices.
Well you are so wrong.
If you imagine your success on youfiverr is limited only to be
a seller you are missing something very important.
60. STEP 23 – OBSERVER
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
You can free register to youfiverr and become what ever you
want to be. But the best thing you can do is to be an
OBSERVER.
This is the word I use to describe one man or woman who
want more than few hundred dollars .
You can find out all the solutions you need for your online
businesses for FREE.
61. STEP 23 – OBSERVER
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
I mean by using your skills and talents you make money in your
youfiverr account then you can wisely spend on that services
you really need.
You can OBSERVE other people skills and make use of them.
Let's think.
Everybody ask for money.
Well not on youfiverr if you listen to me.
62. STEP 23 – OBSERVER
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
You came to this site, free register then use your passion and
hobbies in exchange for others passions and hobbies.
Without MONEY in your mind.
Value exchange.
This is an important step in your evolution on internet.
The moment when you forget about money will be that
moment when you'll really start to MAKE MONEY ONLINE
63. STEP 24 - GO TO THE NEXT LEVEL
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
The next level in my opinion is to be an OWNER of such a
fiverr like site.
You can be the best seller in the world and also the wisest
buyer.
You can be an amazing OBSERVER. so all above and something
more.
64. STEP 24 - GO TO THE NEXT LEVEL
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
But to be an owner is different.
Yes, is true, if you are a good seller and a wise buyer you
have good chances to be a good owner.
65. STEP 24 - GO TO THE NEXT LEVEL
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
So here is few words or steps or advices in my own vision
about what you need to be an amazing owner:
● you need patience because this is a long run busines
you need to be devoted completely to your young community
66. STEP 24 - GO TO THE NEXT LEVEL
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
● you need TIME to handle all tasks involved
● you need to know how to outsource your best resources
● you need persistence and willing to win because of all bad
things you'll find along the way
67. STEP 24 - GO TO THE NEXT LEVEL
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
● you need vision and hope as sometimes you'll feel overloaded
about so many competition out there
● you need to invest money, your investment will make profit
finally but NOT quickly
● you must use the money in a wise way without spending on
things that don't improve your community
68. STEP 24 - GO TO THE NEXT LEVEL
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
● you need to have in your blood that team feeling, or family
feeling or whatever you want to call it
● you need to forget about in one day you'll sell your site on
flippa, and forget about thinking how much money you'll
receive for your community
● you need to have best relationship with any fiverr like site
community owner worldwide, fiverr included.
69. © 2012 WorldMicroJobs
STEP 25 - NEVER GIVE UP!
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
Easy to say but hard to do, right?
Well here and now is an amazing step in your development - if
you read all steps above I'm sure you are a winner.
Bad things will happen sometimes, al lot of things that will
appear like a catastrophic and impossible and hard to believe
things.
70. STEP 25 - NEVER GIVE UP!
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
Like a bad feedback on a full of good feedbacks seller page.
Like your naive trust on people who don'r even deserve to
talk about.
Like a bad change in your rank page because of teddy bear or
thomas cat google algorithm.
Like a simple bad day when you wake up in a sunny day who
become the worst day in your life.
71. STEP 25 - NEVER GIVE UP!
© 2012 WorldMicroJobs
But you can LEARN from all this so called bad things and
you can become the best SELLER, the wisest BUYER, the
finest OBSERVER and the most amazing OWNER in the
world ONLY and because YOU NEVER GIVE UP.
Thank you,
