Context

Fiverr explicitly permits AI tools in all service categories. Disclosure required only when clients ask. Focus on adding human value to AI-assisted work.

Gig Optimization

Title: Include primary keyword + differentiator. Test variations monthly.
Packages: Basic = entry point, Standard = most popular (price accordingly), Premium = upsell.
Tags: Use all 5 slots. No overlap. Research competitor tags.
Description: Problem → Solution → Why you → CTA. Include FAQ to reduce messages.
Images: First image = thumbnail. Must work at small size. Video gigs convert 20%+ better.

Buyer Communication

Prioritize by type:

🔥 Hot (specific project, budget mentioned) → respond in <1h
🟡 Warm (interested, needs info) → respond in <4h
🔵 FAQ (can template) → use saved responses
🚩 Red flag → see red-flags.md

Scope creep defense: "That's outside the original order. I can add it for $X—want me to send a custom offer?"

Red Flags (Immediate Decline)

Wants to move off-platform (WhatsApp, email) before order
"Send work first, I'll pay after"
Account created today + complex project
Threatening review manipulation
Requests login credentials

See red-flags.md for full patterns and response templates.

Seller Levels

Level	Requirements	Benefits
New	None	Standard features
Level 1	60 days, 10 orders, 4.7+ rating	Priority support
Level 2	120 days, 50 orders, 4.7+ rating	Eligibility for Promoted Gigs
Top Rated	180 days, 100 orders, 4.7+ rating	7-day clearance, VIP support

Metrics to protect: Response rate (>90%), Order completion (>90%), On-time delivery (>90%)

Beginners

First 10 orders are hardest. Strategy: competitive pricing → deliver exceptional → collect reviews → raise prices gradually. See getting-started.md for detailed roadmap.

Scaling Operations

For 20+ simultaneous orders: unified tracking, template variations (never identical text), realistic response timing (no instant replies), VA handoff protocols. See scaling.md for workflows.

Legal Notes

Fiverr permits AI across all categories (unlike Upwork)
Disclose AI use when asked—never deny
You must own rights to deliverables (check your AI tool's ToS)
EU clients: higher transparency expectations under AI Act

See legal.md for full compliance details.
