The ad has to be good, doesn't mean because you tweet an offer that someone will take it or even click on it. In 140 characters, you have little space to write compelling copy, so it must count.
forstine: I guess thats a lesson learned.. never purchase tweets... Maybe wrong lesson learned? I got traffic and even a sale from paid tweets. First thing is to check the feedback from other purchasers of that fiverr. Plus understanding the nature of twitter, few get read and fewer click. It all comes down to the tweeter and the message being tweeted. Find the right tweeter for your market and verify their followers. I could buy 10K followers and charge you for a tweet but not results. The one I hired guaranteed click thrus and had the feedback to back it up. He did not guarantee sales but it really comes down to the offer. Easily doubled my investment and still have a week to go. The gig was for 10 tweets over 2 weeks to 150K for $5. More than happy with the results so far.
Another update on the Twitter gig, it even got re-tweeted by one of his followers. Plus it got a request from Singapore for more information on International sales. Maybe forstine just got a bad tweeter or I just got lucky as usual. Then again my $5 gets 141K more tweets than fortine's. The risk/reward factor was in my favor to start with. Let the feedback from other buyers be your guide. I spent days looking at gigs and reading feedback. 10 tweets to 150K for the price of one to 9K? Multiple exposures is a key in any sales. That was one reason I chose that fiverr. One tweet doesn't produce the results. And success doesn't happen overnight. 2 weeks? Maybe.
Good for you! That's good value for $5, isn't it? If you don't mind, I'd really appreciate it if you would send me a PM with the name of the person you hired. I don't know if I can come up with a compelling tweet, but it sure would be worth a try. I hope the great results keep coming in for you. Blessings, Angie
Just2EZ: Multiple exposures is a key in any sales. That was one reason I chose that fiverr Well, not so well. No complaint other than no proof was provided by the seller. The seller canceled the gig and refunded my $5 saying it wasn't worth his time. This is after 2 weeks and it seems he did do the gig, just provided no proof. I saw maybe 50 hits from Twitter in the 2 weeks since I ordered the gig. Those could have come from my own Tweets and followers sharing. I should have used a unique URL to track hits from his tweets. Will definitely do it again if I find someone who provides proof. This guy would not even give me his twitter account to follow. But he did give my $5 back so I have no complaints.
Just2EZ: Will definitely do it again if I find someone who provides proof. Well now, there are honest to goodness hard workers for $5, at least one. The first Fiverr I was impressed with was the 3rd one I tried and by far the best. I'll go on record that fiverr Jazzy7 delivers an incredible package with proof for $5. He provided screen shots of the accounts used and the ads he created for my URL. Half a dozen FB pages with over 50k total, several Tweets to thousands, plus bookmarking. Stumbled, Digged, and dozens of others with real accounts not fake ones. The proof also showed up in my AWStats & FB page within 24 hrs of hiring him. He didn't under-promise but he sure did over-deliver, with bonuses. Thanks Jazzy7 for restoring my faith in Fiverr, a fun place to shop. The proof is in the pudding and proof is the icing on the cake? Better go roll up my pennies so I can do it again!
I made some orders with Fiverr and I can say that they are all reliable, I haven't got any problem. I think that depends on the service that you are ordering.
Yeah - I am a fiverr convert too. I've been using it for about a year for lots of things. I'm not so sure about using it for backlinks though. I have in the past but decided it's not a good idea. Anyone done backlinking successfully through fiverr?
I did not try Fiverr yet.But I visited the network couple of times and saw its working for many guys.
I had an ebook cover designed on fiverr. It was more than worth it. It would have taken me forever to even figure out how to do it myself. Saved me lots of time and effort.
Never tried fiverr. It's really difficult to look for VAs that can do quality work. You can check at onlinejobs.ph though. There are lots of workers here that can do quality work at cheap rates.
I think the real money is in reselling Fiverr gigs at a higher price. I'm in the works of a big project like that. Not everyone knows about Fiverr....
I have used it to buy a few gigs and in a half-hearted attempt put up a few of my own but I never got any sales. In fact I hardly even got any views on my gigs at all from what I remember. From what I can tell, it can be difficult to get your gigs found among the billion that are already on there... To forstine above - I used this person to tweet my message and she was great (not a massive following though) - http://fiverr.com/mickilee/tweet-your-message-once-daily-for-7-days
