How To Buy On Fiverr In 2023 – Complete Guide Part 1
If you’re a business owner looking to scale and grow faster, buying relevant and affordable gigs is one of the best business decisions. There are many freelancers’ markets places, such as Fiverr and Upwork, to buy gigs at a significantly lower price.
But if you’re a first-time user on these platforms, you might be confused about how to place your order.
At first, placing your order might be a bit complicated, but it’s easy to buy on Fiverr and other freelancers’ market platforms if you follow the simple steps described in this post.
Although this article focuses on how to buy Fiverr gigs successfully, the steps described here apply to other freelancers’ markets, such as People per Hour, Upwork, SEO Clerks, etc.
So even if you’re not buying on Fiverr, you can follow the process here to hire a freelancer on any marketplace and place your order successfully.
We will cover other aspects in this post that will significantly benefit you – especially if you’re a first-time user of this freelance market platform.
Without wasting your time, let’s walk through how to use Fiverr as a buyer together…
Register Your Account
First things first, you need to create a Fiverr buyer’s account.
Like any other marketplace, if you’re buying on Fiverr for the first time, you must sign up for a buyer’s account. On most platforms, both buyers and sellers need to create an account.
By default, all newly created accounts on Fiverr are buyer’s accounts. You can switch to the seller’s account after the buyer’s account has been approved and activated.
The Fiverr age requirement is at least 18 years. People under 18 but at least 13 years of age can only use the website under a guardian or their parent’s account.
If you’re under 13, you’re not allowed to use the Fiverr website both as a seller and buyer.
So, if none of the restrictions applied to you, and you do not have an existing Fiverr account, click here to sign up for your buyer’s account.
The process is simple to understand. You need an active email account, your name, profile picture, and billing details.
On the Fiverr homepage, click the “Join” button at the top right corner.
Enter your email address in the field on the next page and click the continue button. You can also join Fiverr with your Facebook account, Google connects, and Apple connect.
These are quick processes to join. But I prefer using your email address to complete the process. You might decide to close your Facebook tomorrow, but your email address is yours.
Next, choose your Fiverr username and password. Once you set up your Fiverr account profile, your username cannot be changed in the future. So, think hard and long before making a decision.
Click on the “Join” button to complete the signup process.
A confirmation message will be sent to your email address. You must activate your account by clicking on that email’s “Activate Your Account” button.
Once your account is activated, you’re now a registered member on Fiverr. And you can begin your buyer’s experience on the platform.
Next, let’s walk through the easiest way to buy on Fiverr so you can quickly wade through the irrelevant ones.
Use The Search Box
There are lots (millions) of gigs listed on Fiverr that make it completely overwhelming to search through. More than 500 service categories.
A single search query can return hundreds (even thousands) of results. As a first-time user, this might confuse you and lead to time-wasting.
The simplest way to search through gigs on Fiverr is to use the search box. It will help you search for exactly what you’re looking for.
While Fiverr has done a great job simplifying the search process, there is still a lot to be done in this aspect.
For instance, in the Digital Marketing category, if you’re looking for specific SEO services, it could be a time taking task to find the service you’re looking for.
I was looking for a link-building gig on the platform using the “Digital Marketing” tab in the navigation menu. These are the options.
As you can see, this option does not give us exactly what we want.
Instead, use the search box.
The search box provides a better search experience and leads us quickly to hire the correct freelancer on Fiverr.
I typed “SEO link building” in the search box, and here is the result.
This is a better and quicker process to find relevant gigs on Fiverr.
Now, let’s dive into how you can find the right freelancer or seller on Fiverr.
This is a much harder process to complete. There are many sellers or freelancers with similar services for almost the same price.
But there are steps you can follow to narrow down your options and hire the right freelancer for the task.
