Hello, everyone, and welcome back to my channel, Jennifer Marie, where I teach you different ways
that you can make money online working from home. My last tutorial, I taught you about a Fiverr gig
idea where you would edit dating photos, and to advertise your services as a photo editor on
Fiverr. However, in order to get hired for these types of jobs, or in order to have clients pick
your gig, it's really important that you have a really professional Fiverr gig image. So you can
see here when I type in photo, Tinder, these are all the best selling Fiverr Gigs for this
topic. And you can see that these are all the different cover images, some are really simple,
like this is just a picture of the person's face. And others are a bit more professional and show a
before and after like this one or this one, I'm going to teach you how to create two different
types of gig images. And we're going to use Canva, which is completely for free,
you can click on the link in the description below to get my referral link for Canva.
So first of all, let's go to the Fiverr Help page. And this will show us the gig image guidelines
that we need in order to create a gig image. So the recommended image size is 1280 by 769 pixels.
So what you're going to do is go to Canva. Over here, you'll click on custom size,
and you're going to put in 1280 by 769 pixels, then click Create new design. And this is the size
that we're going to work with for our good cover image. If you scroll down, they have a whole list
of different guidelines. But essentially, we don't want to use too much text. This is an example of
something that's okay, and this is not okay, we want to make sure that all of our text is visible.
We can include up to five different logos, but you want it to look nice. So this one for example,
all of these logos look better in this image than here. You don't want to put too many different
samples of your work, it's better just to put one sample of work per image. And here's what we're
going to do for one of our cover images is show our results. So we'll have a before and and after.
So first we're going to do an example of a gig cover image for advertising your services as a
photo editor. As I showed you in my last tutorial on Fiverr, what we want to do is
click on elements, we're going to scroll down and go to grids and click see all.
So you're going to choose this one here where there are two different boxes.
And when you do that, what it does is it creates a spot that we can drop our before image and our
after image. So you can use this as a template for any cover image, where you're showing a
before and after of your skills. And in order to upload the image, we'll click here on uploads,
then click Upload Media and locate the before image and then drag and drop it into the box.
And then from here, you can double click it and adjust the size by dragging on the
nodes. So it's going to really zoom up on her face so we can see the before and after. Okay,
and so now we have our before. And now we're going to upload our after. So again, click upload media,
upload the picture, and then drag and drop it into the second grid, and then double click
and then drag on the nodes to resize it so it matches the first one so it's nice and zoomed up
on her face. So we can see the before and after. If you wanted to make any more edits to either
of these images, you can click on the image, then go to Edit Image. And then here you could adjust
the brightness and the contrast level a bit if you just wanted to make it standout. So now you
could upload it just like this. Or you could add some text as well. So let's click on elements,
click on the back icon. And we're going to go to lines and shapes. Just click on this square here.
So from here, you can change the color by clicking on the color box and choose whatever color you
want. And you can click and drag the size. So I'm going to make this extend like that. And
then you can even add text, so I'm going to put before and then we can adjust the size.
Could even adjust the font if you want to change the font type as well.
And then click on it and right click copy, then right click paste
and then click and drag this over here and we have our after.
Again, you can just click and drag on the nodes to adjust the size. You can even go on elements
and add a logo so you could type in Tinder, enter and anything that has the little crown is pro so
these ones would be pro but you could use this one for example this would be free if you don't
have the Pro count of Canva. I do. So I'm just going to use this one. Again click and drag.
Okay. And this would be an example of a perfect, good cover image. Because the
people are seeing that this is what you can do, you can transform a photo that looks like this,
and airbrush it, so it looks like this. And to download this gig cover image, click share,
and click download. And then you can choose the file type, we'll just keep it at PNG, keep the
size as it is, and click download. So this is our first example of a beautiful cover image that you
could use with fiber. The second one I'm going to show you is one that would be for something
like a social media assistant, you can see here, these people have used probably too much text,
this I don't think is and too many logos as well. But we're going to do something like this,
we're going to go back to Canva. Again, we're going to
choose Custom Size, put 1280 by 769, create new design. And this time, we're going to
use a template to make it even easier. So here, you can click on templates, and you
can scroll down and use any of these templates. Even if it is a video, we can use that template.
We're going to type in media. Again, some of these are pro, but I'm going to show you
a free one that you can use. We're going to scroll down till we see this one right here,
we're going to click on that, you can see that it's automatically filling it out. So it fits our
dimensions of 1280 pixels by 769. First of all, you could change the color, you want to change up
the background color of any of the elements, or you can click Undo and keep it the same.
So let's say we want to do one for a social media manager, let's say we're gonna put our name
let's say Tyler Smith, social media marketing expert. Going to if you want to erase any
elements or any text, just click and click Delete, we're going to erase this image of this woman
and upload our own. We're gonna go to uploads, upload media, upload the image you want to use,
and then double click to add the image. And then what you can do is click on crop and you can
crop the image. And this is great if you don't have the premium version and can't
erase the background, you could just do that. But if you have the premium version of Canva,
you can click Edit Image, then click on background remover,
and that will get us just his head and body. And then when that's done,
we'll click Apply. Okay, so you can click and drag if you want to make this a bit bigger.
And again, we can click and drag on any of the elements that we want to move.
So I want to make actually him a bit bigger like this. And then for example, if I want
this purple element to go on top, I can change the order by right clicking and bring to front
and then do the same with his name. Again, you can change the font size as well.
You can even change the letter spacing by clicking here and even click on this and click on the color
wheel. If we want to change the color, use the drop tool, we can choose a color. And then you
can put in whatever it is you're advertising. So social media, marketing manager, and virtual
assistant. And you can change the color of the text and change the text type as well.
And you can adjust any elements that you want to change or click delete if you want to delete them.
And if you want to add any logos, we can click here on elements and put in for example, Facebook,
Instagram, Twitter, etc, etc.
I think that looks really good. And when you're done again, just click share,
click download and click Download again. And you can see just how professional this looks
in comparison to a fiverr gig like this where it looks like this woman doesn't have a lot of
experience with graphic design. And this is even cut off the s in social media. The one that we
just created looks so much more professional, and I would be way more likely to hire someone
like this with a really professional gig image than someone like this. Okay,
