First, you need a memorable name.
This can either be plain and simple like your own name
Or you can fashion yourself a brand name that will resonate with customers
Both work fine.
Just be certain of the name before continuing as Fiverr doesn't allow Username changes.

Like your name, your branding is very important.
Your brand needs to represent your skill and personality, and remain consistent on both Fiverr and any social media you attach.
Your Profile Picture, Gig Gallery, and Socials should all match in colour, font, and imagery.

You can either use a Graphic Designer for this or do it yourself.
Now you won't have any ratings at first so you need to make up for this with a strong cover image and title.
Be straight to the point, use keywords, and keep the Cover image tidy yet bold.

This will separate you from 80% of the competition.
The disadvantage you have when starting out is that you don't have any reviews, so it's harder to gain the trust of buyers.
Use social media to poach clients outside of Fiverr then use Fiverr for the order and transaction.

You'll also build up a Response Time when messages start coming through.
This is the average time it takes you to reply to inquiries.
The slower your response time, the lower you'll appear in the search results.
Buyers see your response time and will ignore your account if they think you're hard to contact.
Response time should be 1-2 hours max.

The faster you respond, the more likely you are to steal the client before a more established account responds.
Being first is everything when you start because you don't have the credibility other accounts do.

When messaging buyers, be engaged and interested but don't go overboard.
You don't want to sound disingenuous.
You also don't want to sound desperate for the job.
Formally ask what they need in copious detail.
You want them to trust you.

If it helps, write a script beforehand.
Use it for every inquiry you receive and that way you don't miss anything important.
If they have a name in their username. Refer to them by it.

Finally, once you get your first order
DELIVER ON TIME!
You do not want to deliver late.
Delivering an order late really affects your placement on the search page, and you'll likely lose the trust of the buyer, ensuring they don't return in the future.

If you're unsure about the quality of your work, send it to a friend first.
Don't worry though. This won't be a problem when you become more experienced.
Now finally your pricing.
If you're inexperienced, price your gigs cheap.

Pricing them high will only increase buyer expectation and they'll just be disappointed with the outcome and rate you 1 star.
You can increase your prices over time as you get more clients and complete more work.

If you are experienced, you should have a good idea of how much to charge for your service.
But be aware that high-priced gigs with zero ratings struggle to get clicks.
