At Fiverr, the service you offer and sell within the marketplace is termed a "Gig." Your Gig is an opportunity to showcase your talent to potential customers, as well as to provide all the information they may need before placing an order.
Creating a Gig
When you become a seller on Fiverr, we recommend that, initially, you create only one Gig and focus your time and effort on that one service. To make your Gig stand out, follow the guidelines below and see Creating a Gig as well as Making the most from your Gig image for more helpful tips and tricks. Once your initial Gig has generated positive customer feedback and you have had multiple sales, you should consider creating more Gigs.
Gig Guidelines
Gig Title
|
- Make sure that your Gig title is short, clear, and to the point
- Fiverr helps you start your title with ”I will...” Complete the sentence with the service you wish to provide
Remember: You want your buyers to recognize what service you offer—immediately.
|
Category/
Subcategory
|
- Select the most appropriate category and subcategory for the service you offer
- If you’re not sure, search Fiverr’s marketplace for similar services to see how other sellers have categorized their services
- Fiverr will also recommend a category and subcategory based on the title of your Gig
Note: Fiverr reserves the right to move your Gig to a more relevant category/subcategory if deemed necessary.

Scope & pricing
(Gig Packages)
|
Gig packages allow you to offer services at different prices as well as to use different formats. You can create up to 3 packages for different prices:
Each Gig package should include the different service elements, such as:
- Gig description
- Delivery time
- The number of revisions, etc.
By adding extras, you can potentially upsell your services.

Gig description
|
This is your first opportunity to introduce yourself to potential customers. Be personable, approachable, and describe your service easily—to guide customers towards making a purchase.

You can also use URLs that lead to general websites, such as Google.com, or to websites that provide free tools, such as wordcount.com or colorpicker.com
-
Never share your personal contact information
- If contact or login credentials to external sites are absolutely necessary for your Gig service, mention this in your Gig requirements
- Tell your customer your requirements to get started by clearly listing this information in the Gig requirements area. Of course, this only applies to you if the service you are providing cannot be completed without specific information from the buyer
