- **Gig Description**: Explain what you offer in a detailed yet concise manner, highlighting what makes your service unique.
- **Pricing**: Set the price for your service. Fiverr allows you to offer different pricing packages (Basic, Standard, and Premium).
- **Delivery Time**: Specify how long it will take you to complete the gig.
- **Gig Extras**: You can add extras to increase the value (e.g., faster delivery or additional revisions).

### Step 7: Promote Your Gig
Once your gig is live, you can start promoting it to attract buyers:
- Share the link on social media, your website, or other platforms.
- Use Fiverr's internal tools, like "Buyer Requests," to find potential clients who need your services.
### Step 8: Start Earning!
After a buyer places an order, you will begin working on their project. Fiverr takes a commission (usually 20%) from each order, but you keep the rest. After delivering the work and the client approves, you'll get paid.
