2.3 Gig Metadata

In this section, specify the social media platforms you specialize in, the tools you use, and the industries you have experience with. This helps in attracting clients looking for specific skills and expertise.

2.4 Search Tags

  • "Social Media"
  • "Social Media Management"

3. Pricing 💰

Fiverr Pricing

Fiverr allows you to create tiered packages for your services, usually structured as Basic, Standard, and Premium. It's crucial to strategically price these tiers to appeal to a range of clients while ensuring you're fairly compensated for your expertise.

3.1 The Art of Pricing

  • Basic Package: This is your entry-level offer. Price it attractively to draw in clients who may be new to social media management or those with smaller budgets. Ensure that the scope of work in this package is manageable and clearly defined.
    • Example: $400 for 3 posts per week
  • Standard Package: Often considered the core offering, your Standard package should provide the best value for the price. It's typically the most popular choice and should balance a reasonable cost with a comprehensive range of services. This is where you can showcase your most demanded skills and services.
    • Example $500 for 3 posts per week + 1 story p/w + 1 reel p/w
  • Premium Package: Aimed at clients who are looking for advanced services or a more in-depth approach, the Premium package can be priced higher. Here, you can include more extensive management, strategy planning, or additional platforms.
    • $600 for 4 posts per week + 1 story p/w + 1 reel p/w

3.2 Start Small

When you first list your gig on Fiverr you won’t have any reviews. Start with a cheaper pricing to start getting more reviews.

Once you have reviews, you can raise your prices. If you're curious about how to add Fiverr reviews to your SMM portfolio check: How To Add Fiverr Reviews To Your Website
