Mike I would like to tell you that I'm so glad you do this videos. I learned so much in this last two weeks watching your videos. I found my niche. Blessings #Dontstop
Hello everyone! Much love from Nairobi. I watched Nardi's videos during my freshman years and made a legal writing gig and although it took longer than i hoped, I must say it is game changer. We love you Mike and i will look for you and have tea together inshallah!!
Thank you, Mike! I really like that you keep things/numbers (related to earning) realistic and practical for the newbies. I'm a Level One seller, and currently going through a huge slowdown, maybe due to the Summer vacation! 😔 This video made me think that I should definitely put in more efforts. 🙂 Thank you again! 🙂
Hi Mike, I think you're on-target recommending the cold outreach approach. I'm a freelance writer (now full-time, used to do it on the side) and have made several new contacts and a couple of new clients this way. However, I'm going to respectfully take issue with your suggestion to do 50/day for a month. I've done a massive all-out email outreach like this a few times. If you spend just 5 minutes on every contact with no breaks whatsoever, that's 4 hours and 15 minutes per day. That is unsustainable unless you have no job, and doesn't account for taking a little longer for some contacts, even the smallest amount of vetting, or coming across a website that doesn't have a contact form. You have to hit 100% of your shots to get it under 5 hours. Even if you have all day, that is an enormous expectation to do for 30 days in a row. Conversion rates are often 1% so a smaller recommendation is OK too, and far more likely that you'll make it through the whole month. And prospecting for appropriate companies in you niche takes more than 5 seconds also. A .009% conversion rate doesn't mean anything if you can't accomplish the intense work for 30 days it takes to achieve it. You're going to run out of buyer requests that make any sense as well. Again, I think the concept is spot-on. But even for someone who's done it and knows what they're looking for, 50 per day is a real stretch, practically and mentally. Doing a sustained 10-20 per day would go a long way toward building a sustainable habit. And even just a little digging on each prospect will eliminate the need to go through 1500. If you get even a small conversion rate, it's totally worth the effort you make. But I was disappointed that this suggestion didn't seam realistic or includes a glimpse of the legwork necessary to pull this off. I enjoy a lot of your videos and suggestions though. You are one of the few reputable people on TH-cam that discuss Fiverr and I look forward to what you share!
Hi Erika, really appreciate you taking the time to comment! I agree, and disagree. I agree that spending 5 minutes on 50 contacts can amount to a lot of time spent prospecting each day. But I guess whether or not that is sustainable depends on the circumstances of the person doing this. I would argue that if you ask any small business owner how much time they spent initially getting their business off the ground before quitting their 9-5, 4 hours per day would probably be a common answer if not longer. Also, you could streamline that process a couple of ways to be able to achieve a high number of touches per day without necessarily spending 4-5 hours per day. One example would be, instead of researching 1 contact at a time, spending a couple of minutes on each then writing an email. You could do things like picking one specific industry, and one specific employee type in that industry that you’ll be targeting. Build a list of as many people that fit that buyer criteria, and then create a series of emails you could use to prospect to them. Once you’v put together that list, it’s a relatively quick exercise to change key pieces of information in the email to tailor it to each person. This obviously isn’t going to give you the most tailored approach, but it’s a strategy almost every marketing team I’ve ever worked with implements to cast a wider net while at the same time targeting specific buyer personas. At the same time, I also agree that taking on 20 contacts per day would be more easily attainable, and obviously less stressful. At the end of the day, I’m just providing whatever guidance I can to help people make the best choices for themselves and their businesses. I chose 50 per day, because that’s something I’ve done for many years in both my 9-5 and side hustles I’ve tried running. Whether that’s a number people want to hit themselves, is up to them, I’d encourage anyone to give it a shot. Your comment does get me thinking, might be very helpful if I make some future videos that go through some of the sales strategies/workflows I’ve picked up through a career in sales that could help make the process of prospecting less stressful. I’ll add it to my to-do list and hopefully put something out soon that can give people some tips streamline things. Anyways, really appreciate the comment, always love having a conversation to talk about ways things can be improved! :) Take care!
@@MikeNardiTV I agree, and just creating some different methods of going through this process, given that not everyone may have the stamina for a power-through, would be super helpful. I love the idea of a series. Something suitable for someone with more limited time, and a bigger approach for someone who has more time or is looking for a bigger impact. All of those would be great video ideas, and the breakdown of the time-saving methods you just mentioned would be golden nuggets. That could change someone's entire confidence in what they think they can do by seeing various options with a few more details. Go for it - looks like you have work to do- LOL!
@@elkrull 10000000% I agree. I appreciate your understanding. I do have my work cut out for me, but feedback like yours helps me plot the course for which videos would be helpful! Consider your comments added to my to-do list. I’ll do my best to put out some sort of video series that tackles the question of prospecting from different seller perspectives at some point in the future:) Stay tuned!
I was not really active on youtube because of my exams...that will be the reason why i missed that poll Anyways buddy thanks thanks for making such quality videos for us....i will start fiverr as soon as i am done with my exams and college admissions... Cheers💯💓💫
@@MikeNardiTV thank you sooo much...i am damn sure that you will reach 1M SUBS one day ...never stop making videos you really make that kind of videos which helps us pay our fee and not disturbing parents for pocket money💫😊
Remember, Fiverr takes 20%. So… you really need to make $625. If your gig is say $25 that means you need to sell that gig 25 times. Which can be a lot of hard work considering that you are going to have about 10% of your buyers not leave a review or hire and then fire you because they clearly didn’t understand your gig.
Thank you Mike for your videos. They are very helpful. You mentioned about sending 50 emails per day getting your services out there. What strategy do you use to get email addresses? I was just wondering. Thanks again. I appreciate your help.
Hey Mike, Can you please make a video on guiding 'how to get the 40 leads to whom we can send aur emails and have conversions' This will be really appreciated. Thanks.
Mike can you make a video on your exact prospecting process (kinda Go-through how exactly you do that) So that way we have a much better example and a definite process.
Hi, Your suggestion is good but to email people you need email address. So from where to get the email address and also other thing is if the person is in DNC list and if you email them your email could get blacklisted. So how to overcome these two things?
There are a ton of ways to get email addresses, building a list is probably the most important part of the process. Lead magnets or submission forms are probably the highest quality way of doing this. As far as email marketing rules they vary from country to country, it would make sense to get familiar based on where you are from
Bro I'm 14 and idk what should I sell to get 200$-500$ monthly on fiverr can you help so I know what I should sell? I was thinking of minecraft game to sell builds but I don't think so much ppl will buy
I mean, any buyer who comes across your profile can potentially do that. That’s why it’s up to us to make our gigs as attractive and professional as possible
5 years and not a single order? Are you actively trying to sell on fiverr or have you just kind of set up a gig and left it for that period of time? What are you trying to sell by the way?
fast forward to 3:35 if you want the real information. these videos are great and i really appreciate them, but these guys drag the intro so much its pretty frustrating!
@@MikeNardiTV you are inspiration for all the new seller of fiver please don't stop making this video .. if you can make a full step by step tutorial how to create a copywriter optimise profile... So it will be better Mike..🙂
Google, LinkedIn, business directories, lots of places you can find companies to contact just need to put in a bit of legwork to build a list that you want to target
But when I'm contacting 50 people/day, where I'm going to find the time to actually work on the project clients assign? What you're saying makes sense for sure. But honestly, I don’t think it's practical at all!
@@MikeNardiTV Haven’t you mentioned it's for beginners or who are just starting out? Most of the beginners don't have experience in sales. Correct me if I'm wrong! Also, if you can share how to find prospects on LinkedIn, that'd be great. Thanks.
Fiverrs a pretty powerful platform for lead generation once you build some momentum on your profile, so generating clients to your profile is something you can do to kick things off, get some reviews, and potentially take advantage of Fiverr as a lead generation tool
Did you watch the video? Email/website contact form/buyer request (I link in the description to a tutorial/sales template video that you can also use as a reference). Happy Selling :)
@@MikeNardiTV Haha I really dont think buyer requests are worth doing, I never got a response, I think you have to be really low balling some $ numbers to get any clients there, the cheapest clients use fiverr requests.
@@D0J0Master I agree that buyer requests are tough, I have another video on the channel that talks about how I would respond to them. But if you’re looking to implement the outreach strategy discussed in this video of 50 or however many contacts per day, I’d mix in buyer requests with email outreach for sure. Leave no stone left unturned type of mentality.
You can use this sales template to help you get started :) th-cam.com/video/5Jgu0thZK-s/w-d-xo.html
Hi. I'm from the Philippines. You speak so clearly the reason I am glued to your videos. I am trying to be a fiverr freelancer.
Happy to help!
Thanks, Mike, I got my first gig on Fiverr several months ago. I'm still active in using this platform and I'm starting to love everything about it.
That’s awesome!
