Secret Tip#1.
One of the most innovative ways to get your first gig is reaching out to sellers who are already successful. They have a lot of business at hand, and struggle to complete their gig on time. If you reach out to them and offer to take away some of their workload, you might land yourself a gig.
This technique is called gig tie-ups.
Secret Tip #2.
When you are trying to get your first order on Fiverr, sell for reviews, not for money. Reviews are an important signal to sellers and to Fiverr that you have delivered quality work before. The more reviews you gather, the easier it is to get more orders.

Depending on your gig category, optimization, and competition, it can take anywhere between 7-45 days on an average to make order. It’s quite common to take even longer, but you must work on your gig if you do not get an order or message from a buyer within the first 60 days.
