How do I create outstanding gigs on Fiverr?
This section is specific to Fiverr only. The first thing I do when I create gigs is I try to look for similar gigs in the market. Then, I do the following analysis on them:
1. Their pricing structure
2. Tags they used to make their gig appear well on the search
3. What they have written in the denoscription section
4. The thumbnail they used

After the analysis, I don't directly copy everything, rather, I take insights on things that were missing in my gig, and put my own touch on top of it. I update my own touch regularly. It can be specific things you mention about your character or specific service you give along the way. It is necessary to make you outstand. After creating the gig, I regularly try to look for changes I can make to my pricing structure, denoscription, tags, etc...

Secondly, being niche specific is good as a starter since the market is already overwhelmed with many high rated freelancers who give their gig a general name like "I will develop mobile apps" and control the market. if you are a mobile developer with some tech, let us say .NET MAUI, then, giving it tags like maui, dotnet, csharp, and then naming the gig "I will develop mobile apps with .NET MAUI" will give you a better chance of getting order than giving it a general name. After you start receiving orders, and the visibility of your gigs are going well, you may eventually go back to the general naming.

General naming is better as your gig grows because, often, clients just want their idea developed and don't really care about the tech stack. Or if there are some aware of it, you can probably succeed in convincing them to use your tech stack. If you do general naming at the start, it is hard for you to compete with the giants in the market. So, being niche specific, then eventually generalizing is a better approach. For example, I started with "I will develop cross-platform desktop apps with Avalonia" to "I will develop cross-platform desktop apps".

I was just reading this comprehensive and detailed guide to filters in ASP .NET. I have been using Microsoft documentations well since I got to be a .NET dev, and I cannot really appreciate enough of the style and process of documentation writing Microsoft follows. For those .NET devs who prefer reading, Microsoft documentation is all you can ask for 💎

This repo has a collection of .gitignore templates for several programming languages and types of projects. You don't have to craft one for each project you work on... just grab it from here 🤷‍♀️
