What is a Fiverr gig?
A “Gig” is a service you provide and sell on the Fiverr marketplace. Your Gig is an opportunity to show off your skills to potential clients and give them all of the information they might require before they make a purchase.
Because you’ll be conducting business with customers that you’ve never worked with before, the only way you can show experience is by your Gig page. That’s why creating a gig requires such attention to detail.
Requirements:
Creating a gig on Fiverr can only be done using a computer. The Fiverr mobile app doesn’t include functionality for creating gigs.

The Gig Title: Your gig title is a one-line description of the service you wish to provide on Fiverr. It should be no more than 80 characters long. If you’re stumped for a name for your job, check out what other sellers have done. Make sure your gig title is unique.
Categories: Graphics&design, Digital Marketing, Writing & Translation, Video & Animation, Music & Audio, Programming & Tech, Business And, and Fun & Lifestyle are just a few of the numerous categories available on Fiverr.

You will be paid a fixed amount per gig, with the ability to set your rates as high as $995. You can also offer upgrade options to packages for the same job.
With the Standard and Premium packages unlocked, you may charge different prices for all of the same gigs depending on the extra services you want to provide.
Other choices may be accessible depending on your category and sub-category.
Description
Add your services description. Write something compelling, informative, and salesy.
Your gig description is the second most important thing about your gig.
Many Fiverr new sellers write their gig descriptions hastily. This should not be the case with you; take time to craft the perfect description by including as many specifics as possible into your gig description, while avoiding grammatical and spelling errors.
Learn what you can from great or top sellers in your field by browsing their job descriptions. You must, however, avoid plagiarizing their gig descriptions word-for-word. If you do that, Fiverr may lower your gig ranking and make it less visible to visitors.
Fiverr limits your gig description to 1200 characters, you can also include a few Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) to answer issues or questions that buyers may have.
Requirements
Add the requirements you will need form the client. After the order has been placed, its important that you don’t want to contact them for additional information. So Ask as many questions as you need to complete the gig. This will help to avoid future disputes.
Gallery
Showcase your services with Video, Photos and/or Documents (PDFs). This is where you can optimize your brand for more sales.
Make sure you submit a high-quality media files to accompany your gig. If possible, I recommend using a video of yourself. If you have a gig video, buyers are more inclined to purchase from you.
Skill Test, Legal, and Publish
The last step, you might be asked to complete a skill test to prove you are an expert in your field. After you will need to complete legal information if you live outside of the US. Finally pressing publish.
Earn Money!
This is the last stage in order to put your gig on Fiverr. Your gig becomes live and visible to purchasers who look for freelance employees in your field when you press the Publish Gig button.
Your Gig is now open for business!!! From here you can start earning money.
