- Well that was a mistake... I regret that. I'm opening up about my big four regrets so that you don't have to make the same mistakes! When it comes to my freelance copywriting career on Fiverr Pro, there's not much that I regret, and I'm extremely proud of what I've built - it's a job that I truly love, and never really imagined was possible. However, these four little trip-ups still haunt me. Choosing to sell on Fiverr? Nope, that's definitely not one of them.
Happy Freelance Friday!

yes to pros and cons of fiverr pro! the Uly cameo😂😂
I've been watching your videos for the past 2 hours and you've helped me so much! I'm currently preparing to get into the copywriting game next month and your videos are giving me the confidence and the knowledge that I need to hopefully have success on the platform! 🤞🏻 I already know I'm buying your course when I finish the rest of your 50 videos that I have in my Watch later playlist 😂💗
Awww yay! I’m so glad to hear that. Thank you! 🙏🏻 If/when you do buy my course, if you use this link, Fiverr Learn will kick a few more coins my way - bit.ly/carriebloggercourse 🥰
@@carrieblogger I just bought it! 🥳 I used your link and put that the reason for my purchase is you - the instructor (when they asked for feedback) 🤗
You’re the best! Hopefully you find it helpful ☺️
Wow, so great!
Super useful tips, thanks a bunch Carrie!!
So 9k+ subscribers in 1.5 years, that's very impressive!! :)
Thanks! Soooo close to 10k 🥳
@@carrieblogger Oh Yeah!! :D
Yes please to an insight into Fiverr pro! Big fan of #FreelanceFriday right here!
Yay! 🥳🥳🥳
Love your story! It truly resonated with me ❤ Keep up the good work.. We have to stay true to ourselves!!
Aww thanks! So glad to hear that 😊
yes to pros and cons of fiverr pro! ☺️love your videos 😍
It was comforting to know I'm not the only one who is struggling morally about doing a few orders, I recently got a gig that required making almost misogynistic memes, and I said, I'll do it and then block them. My delivery got accepted and without a revision they gave me a 3.7 star review :((
I did mention it in the reply, but that was not the greatest thing to wake up to! How do you deal with such situations?
Sorry for the ramble, but please don't stop making videos, they are all so helpful and supportive❤️
Yeah I’ve definitely accepted orders over the years that I’m not proud of looking back. We live and learn. As for the review, that partially just requires insight before the project starts to foreshadow if it’s going to work out in your best interest. Sometimes I would also message them after a neutral (horrifying to me) review to check in, say that I was honestly surprised, ask if there was anything that I could have done differently, and double check if maybe it was a mistake. They rarely replied, and I never pressed the issue further, but a few times it did turn out that someone literally clicked the wrong star and they would get it corrected through customer service. It’s worth asking (politely, no demands, no requests).
Maybe I should turn that advice topic into a video.
7:22 LOL! , I have a question when starting gain from scratch do you do marketing for new gig? Marketing of gig in LinkedIn that worth?
thanks for amazing content , you are really have a strong mindset i like it :)
Thanks for watching and commenting! I actually haven’t ever done marketing of any kind, so I can’t speak to that. Making this TH-cam channel and talking openly about what I do or agreeing to interview opportunities is really the closest thing I’ve done, but marketing myself isn’t the primary goal of that. I’ve been immensely blessed through Fiverr search traffic and in-platform popularity, which is one of the big reasons I’m happy to pay their commission rates. No marketing for me! The closest bit of advice I have on that topic is this video. If you haven’t seen it yet, you might find it helpful - th-cam.com/video/7Z1BWKgQUI0/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for another helpful video, Carrie. I remember you had mentioned the 600 lost reviews in a previous video, and I've been thinking about the loss ever since :-/ I've been trying out Fiverr for nearly a year and still only have 150 reviews, all of which I hold precious. I feel your pain! But the story does makes an impression, as least :) Just yesterday, I tried out your advice about asking for a review as a follow-up to an order. Here's hoping it works. Yes, please, will you create a video about Fiverr Pro? I've been carrying around a printed version of the application for months - always felt it needed to be perfect or I needed more reviews or more experience ... yada yada... Thanks, again!
Great video as always Carrie. I totally agree with turning work down if it doesn't feel right. I recently"chased" an order and my 100% 5-star rating went. When that buyer left me a 4.3 rating, that should teach me a lesson never to "chase" orders. Yes, I would love some insight into how Fiverr pro works. What is the main difference between pro and regular offerings?
Oof! I feel you. It's amazing how 0.7 stars can be a hit to the gut, especially when it feels like that messes up all of the other amazing work you've done. ❤️ My average is 4.9 since Fiverr made an internal change to the metrics system that affected how it displays averages. Fun fact - my success manager said that 4.9 rankings are actually better received across the platform than a 5.0.
I'll work on a Fiverr Pro info video soon!
@@carriebloggerthank you for fun fact. I think the 4.9 ratings makes customers see sellers as more human than say 5.0. Maybe even more transparent.
Great content! Just wondered what you camera you have to film as the content is great quality
It’s a pretty basic model DSLR - the Canon Rebel T6i with a wide lens. I edit with Adobe and use a Yeti Blue Nano for sounds. ☺️ This video is a teensy bit outdated NOW, but it was accurate at the time of this video and it walks through my very simple setup - th-cam.com/video/e7EKuN58kJM/w-d-xo.html
@@carrieblogger thanks for getting back to me. Brilliant. I’ve been watching your vids on copy wright and tbh it’s inspiring. How did you learn copywriting ?
Check out this video and playlist - th-cam.com/play/PL_g3AMKzdJ67qSShErvVDa4M35sSU3qWh.html 🌈
I just subscribed this morning because your videos have good information and you don't seem like you're trying to sell something. I checked your website out and I was wondering what platform you used to build it? I'm looking at squarespace but I haven't committed to anything yet.
Thanks! 🥰 I made it myself with Squarespace.
I love your videos so much, thank you! Just a suggestion, the notes you put should be for small comments. It's better when you have a long note to say it instead of writing it, just my opinion as a viewer. Thanks
I totally agree - those notes are just things that I add in to (hopefully) clarify my points during editing. I wish that I would have thought to say them in the first place while filming 🙃 maybe I’ll start adding voiceover of myself reading it too instead of just flashing it quickly on screen. Thanks for the suggestion. 🙏🏻
Hey Carrie, thanks for sharing all that priceless content on your channel! Been taking several jobs as a product description copywriter and I thought of building a profile on Fiverr. What tips would you give a beginner on creating his first gig? I just really want to hit the ground running. There's so much BS out there about creating your first gig, so I decided to turn to you for advice since you've mastered the game. Any help would be highly appreciated! TIA 🤗
Thanks! 🌈 I think this playlist is the best advice I can give you. It’s loaded up with a lot of good info and mostly in an intuitive order - th-cam.com/play/PL_g3AMKzdJ65ikKwbcwtul9fFv6bUzbZw.html and if you want to get a badge on your profile for a credibility boost, I definitely recommend that you take my product description copywriting course on Fiverr learn! bit.ly/carriebloggercourse
May I ask what camera / video software you use?
Yeah! Canon rebel t6i with a wide angle lens I upgraded to, yeti nano mic, and Adobe software editing. Here’s a video comparing audio th-cam.com/video/jvR0Gxm1LBU/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/e7EKuN58kJM/w-d-xo.html
Pro and cons of fiverr pro and to become fiverr pro
Thank you for this video, Carrie. I would like to inform you that back in 2016-17 I started as a newbie on Fiverr and my first gig was a copywriting gig which unfortunately never got any buyer.
Since I was starting as a complete fresher so I had no articles, blogs to show as a sample to the buyers on Fiverr. Hence, I believe I did not get any buyer even after keeping the price to $5 for 1000 words.
Now, in 2020, I'm really thinking upon starting again on Fiverr from where I left it, and this time I don't want to leave any stones unturned and I do need your help in this process. Could you please tell me how to land myself that very first gig on Fiverr???
p.s: I'm from India :)

How much do you pay in taxes as a freelancer carrie?
A lot 😨 if you’re interested in the rundown, I created a video about it - th-cam.com/video/mPDJn-h7rwk/w-d-xo.html
Nothing is ever deleted permanently. You should ask Fiverr if they can retrieve your old gig.
It was years ago and I had to relaunch a new gig for Fiverr Pro anyway, so not a big deal in the long run 🙃 I do know that I asked them once if they could help me retrieve a video file that I had uploaded for a gig because I lost the original, and that wasn’t possible. Makes me doubt they could retrieve a deleted gig.
