Beginning

My freelancing adventure started in 2016 when I was just 14 years old. My primary objective was to earn money and achieve financial independence, inspired by the "Internet’s Independent Influencers." Their success motivated me to pursue freelancing, but I was unsure where to begin.

A friend introduced me to Fiverr, and I quickly signed up to create my first gig. At that point, I was oblivious to what a gig truly entailed. Lacking skills, I relied on my passion for writing, believing it was my calling since I had always excelled in it at school.

Initially, I was overwhelmed by concepts like keywords, competition, guest blogging, and SEO, which seemed intimidating.

Learning

It took me five years to receive my first freelance order. Throughout that time, I absorbed valuable lessons. I realized that progress is neither premature nor delayed; it occurs when we take action. My knowledge expanded to include algorithms, digital marketing, storytelling, and self-promotion, and my learning journey continues.

My First Order on Fiverr

In 2017, upon discovering Fiverr, I decided to offer my writing services as a freelancer.

My Orders on Fiverr

By January 2022, I secured two orders totaling $60—one for five tech articles and the other for website content writing.

Things I Did to Secure Orders

Here are some strategies that proved effective for me:

1. Conduct Keyword Research: Focus on low-competition keywords to help your gig rank higher in search results. I aimed for keywords with around 4,000 gigs, which I found manageable.
2. Craft a Compelling Description: Your gig's description is crucial for attracting clients. It should be concise, easily readable, and engaging. Utilize formatting tools like bold and italics to emphasize important points.

3. Use High-Quality Images: Images are essential for grabbing attention. Include visuals that showcase your past work or highlight unique aspects of your services.
4. Stay Active Online: Being present on the platform boosts your gig's visibility, leading to more impressions and clicks, ultimately resulting in orders.
5. Exercise Patience: I learned to be patient and persistent. It’s unrealistic to expect a flood of orders right away. I received only two orders in January and had to accept that success takes time.
