Hello Everyone!
I am Mahesh Khadka, a full-time graphic designer and freelancer. I recently started my career on Fiverr, and I'm writing to share a story with you that actually happened.
I received my first Fiverr order only 2 days after I created my gig!
That's right, just two days - and I will tell you why: I concentrated on my abilities, made a great gig image, and was active.

🎨 First Fiverr Gig
I decided to go with something I am skilled at -- vector tracing and logo redraw.
I created the gig:
I created the gig:
👉 Convert and redraw any image/logo to vector file
✅ Why I Got My First Order Pretty Quickly
The number one reason was because of my gig image.
2. I showed a before/after example of my vector work.
3. I added a few words that were short and bold, including "FAST Vector File in 24 Hours."
4. I used my own design, not random icons.
Tip: Your gig image is like a thumbnail - eye-catching!

📬 Day 2: I Got My First Order
I was beyond excited when I saw a notification from Fiverr:"You have a new order!"
The client found my gig, liked my profile image, and ordered right away. I got all the work done on time and they gave me a 5-star review!
That one review was able to help propel my profile.
