The Fiverr buyer requests feature is one of the major reasons why new freelancers start their freelancing career from Fiverr. It’s an amazing feature that can help you kickstart your Fiverr Freelancing Journey.
However, a lot of Fiverr Freelancers use templates while sending an offer to buyers, or they will simply ask the buyers to assign them a particular task just because they will do it for $5. Well, that’s not how it works!
There are a few important things that you need to understand in order to write a winning bid for Fiverr buyer requests. Once you’ve mastered the skill, you will be able to significantly improve your bidding skills. It will help you get inbox messages from buyers that you can convert into active orders with your communication skills.
How To Respond Effectively To Fiverr Buyer Requests?
Ideally, you should send customized offers to Fiverr buyer requests that respond to the concerns of the buyer. Explain what makes you a fit candidate for the task and conclude your offer with a call to action. Here is what it means.
Send A Customized Reply to Fiverr Buyer Requests
It’s not 2005 anymore and nobody likes robotic replies and templates.
While sending your offer on Fiverr, avoid using pre-made templates and specifically focus on the requirements of the task. Here’s what you need to keep in mind before you present your offer:
- You can only respond to 10 buyer requests each day. Make sure you make each offer unique and catch the attention of the buyer
- You’re competing with a lot of freelancers and the buyer will choose the most creative and relevant one. Be that ideal candidate by making your offer unique and aligned with the buyer’s requirements
To better understand what uniqueness and customization mean, let me give you an example.
Suppose that you (Your name is Jill) need help with an assignment and you post a request on Fiverr. Here’s what your request says:
Hi Fiverr Freelancers, I need help with an assignment that relates to the supply & demand curve. My budget is $30 and I need to get it done before saturday.
After a few minutes, you receive the following TWO offers:
- JACK: Hi, let me do your task professionally. I have 10+ years of experience in content writing and I will provide you with high-quality work. Please inbox for more details!
- AHMED: Hi Jill, it seems like you need a helping hand for your economics assignment. I have helped tens of economics students with their assignments. The most recent one was on demand equilibrium. Does your assignment also include diagrams for demand and supply curves? I look forward to your response!
Which one would you choose!?
When you become specific, the buyer is more likely to respond and you can easily get an order by following some really easy Fiverr communication tips.
Conclude With A Call-To-Action
Just like Ahmed has done it in the above paragraph, always leave a question for the buyer at the end. Sometimes, buyers get confused when a lot of freelancers approach them. By asking a question or giving them food for thought, you basically direct them and they will most likely start a conversation with you.
This technique helped me a lot in my early days of freelancing and I would get a response from the buyer most of the time.
Offer A Competitive Quote
Building a strong freelance profile is not a piece of cake and it takes a whole lot of effort and sacrifice. But once you develop it, you’ll realize: it’s worth every effort and sacrifice.
Focus on getting the order instead of converting those dollars to your local currency. If you think you can do the task, then go for it even if it means earning $5.
Once you complete 10+ orders and get a couple of ratings, Fiverr will rank your profile organically and you will start receiving messages and orders directly without having to send buyer requests!
