Fiverr advice needed: no orders despite clicks

Need help improving my Fiverr presence. My main issue is no orders despite clicks.

Here's what's going on:

I've had 6 clicks but only... there is no order. I want to know what next to do about it

I'd love feedback on:

• A full profile audit

My profile: https://www.fiverr.com/magaret_expert?source=gig_page&gigs=slug%3Ado-kdp-formatting-ebook-formatting-book-design-ebook-paperback-formatting%2Cpckg_id%3A1

Would love to hear from anyone who has been through this!

hey will be reviewing it shortly, but would you like to know, how old is your profile, like 1 months right?

Yes

I suggest you to change the country from Germany to you actual one. People usually avoid, such countries because it's assumed that they are high-charging countries.

Oh Okay
What else can I do about it?

sure, checking on that...

Alright sir

First, the good news (yes, there is some):

• 1-hour average response time - genuinely good. Fiverr rewards fast responders.

• Bilingual (German + English) - this is an underused advantage. German-language book formatting is a way less crowded niche.

• Your bio actually addresses a real pain point - "Are you facing rejection or errors after formatting?" speaks directly to frustrated self-publishers. That's solid copywriting instinct.

• The $25 gig description follows a problem-agitate-solve format, which is the right approach.

• You have package tiers ($25 / $75 / $150) - at least there's an upsell path.

Now the roast (with care):

1. The name. Oh, the name. Your profile says "Magaret." Your bio says "Margaret." Your username is magaret_expert. You're selling proofreading and formatting services while misspelling your own name. That's like a dentist smiling with spinach in their teeth. Fix this yesterday. Create a new account if the username can't be changed.

2. Four gigs. One idea. Zero differentiation. All four gigs are literally the same service with titles that read like someone threw KDP keywords into a blender:

A buyer lands on this and sees four things that look, sound, and cost the same. It's like walking into a restaurant where the menu is "Chicken," "Poultry," "Hen Meat," and "Bird Protein."

3. The thumbnails are... a choice. Every thumbnail uses the same template: stock photo of a blonde woman in business attire, screaming all-caps text ("BOOK FORMATTING," "BOOK EDITING"), Canva/Amazon/Kindle/Lulu/Walmart logos plastered at the bottom, and a giant yellow "Order Now!" badge. This screams "I watched one YouTube video about Fiverr gig images." These look identical to thousands of other new-seller thumbnails.

4. "Amaz0n KDP" - with a zero. In your gig description under "What I Offer," you wrote "Paperback formatting for Amaz0n KDP." That's Amazon with a zero instead of an O. Either a clumsy attempt to dodge some imaginary keyword filter, or a typo in a service that promises "zero errors." Either way: not a great look.

5. The keyword stuffing is painful. Your gig description bolds every other phrase: "paperback formatting", "ebook formatting", "KDP book formatting", "book layout design", "book typesetting" - sometimes multiple times in the same paragraph. It reads like it was written for a search engine, not a human being. Buyers can smell SEO desperation.

6. The "Basic" package calls itself "Basic Formatting!" Both your $25 Basic AND $75 Standard packages are described as "Basic Formatting! book formatting, kindle eBook OR paperback formatting." You're charging $75 for something you're labeling "Basic." That's like a restaurant charging $40 for the "Budget Meal."

7. Genre tags are weirdly narrow. Your gig only lists: Children's books, Education, Health/fitness, Motivational, Religion/spirituality, Self-help/wellness. No fiction? No sci-fi, romance, thriller, memoir? That cuts out the majority of self-publishing authors searching for formatting.

8. The competitor in the "Recommended" section is already winning. Right below your gig, Fiverr recommends Cynthia (kendra_graces) - Level 1 seller, 5.0 stars, 8 reviews, starting at $10. Same service. She already has social proof. A buyer scrolling past your gig sees Cynthia and thinks "why risk it?"

9. The bio tries to do everything. "I specialize in eBook writing and ghostwriting... formatting... book covers... the entire publishing process." Claiming you do everything tells the buyer you specialize in nothing. The top sellers in book formatting don't mention ghostwriting or cover design on their formatting gig.

10. "Ready? Inbox me" is how the bio ends. No period after "publishing process." Then "Ready? Inbox me" - which sounds less like a professional and more like a dating app message.

What To Do Now (Priority Order):

1. Fix the name to "Margaret" everywhere. Create a new account if the username can't be changed. Selling editing services with a typo in your name is self-sabotage.

2. Delete 3 gigs. Keep the $25 one. It has the best description. All algorithm weight, clicks, and future reviews go into one place.

3. Rewrite the title to be human-readable: "I will professionally format your book for KDP - eBook, paperback, and hardcover"

4. Replace the thumbnail. Show a clean before/after of an actual formatted book interior. No stock photos of people. No "Order Now!" badges. No logo soup. Look at what Level 2 sellers in this category use.

5. Fix the gig description. Remove "Amaz0n." Cut the bolding by 80%. Write for a stressed-out author, not for Fiverr's search algorithm. One or two bold phrases per paragraph max.

6. Fix the package names. "Basic" / "Standard" / "Premium" should have real names like "eBook Only" / "eBook + Paperback" / "Full Publishing Package." Don't call a $75 package "Basic Formatting."

7. Expand genre tags. Add fiction, romance, thriller, memoir, sci-fi, business, biography - don't artificially limit your audience.

8. Get the first 5 reviews by any means. Offer discounted or free work to indie author communities (r/selfpublish, Facebook KDP groups). The first 5 reviews are the single biggest conversion unlock on Fiverr.

9. Make a gig video. Even a simple screen recording walking through a before/after formatting example. Sellers with videos convert measurably better.

10. Leverage the German angle. Consider a second gig (after the first one has reviews) specifically for German-language book formatting. That's a much less competitive niche.

Bottom Line:

Your profile has the right general idea but executes it in the most common new-seller way possible: clone-stamp gigs, keyword-stuffed titles, stock-photo thumbnails, and a name typo on a proofreading service. The 6-clicks-0-orders ratio is exactly what you'd expect.

The fix isn't more gigs or lower prices - it's consolidation, professionalism, and getting those first reviews.
