Earn money with Fiverr – 3 tips

In today’s “gig economy,” Fiverr has quickly become one of the most pronounced opportunities for young people.

Its ease of use, massive audience, and large group of highly talented providers have made it a go-to solution for entrepreneurs of all abilities, empowering people to make everything from a decent living to massive full-time income.

To this end, if you’ve heard of Fiverr or are looking for ways it could help you make the most of your time and skills, it’s certainly an opportunity worth considering. This tutorial will explain what Fiverr really is, how it works, and what it means for job providers around the world.

Founded in 2012, Fiverr has grown to over 3 million listings, based in Tel Aviv, Israel. The company’s name is derived from the initial price of each of its listings ($5), although a common misconception is that this is the “only” price it can list its services for. The reality is that you can list services for prices up to $1,500+. The $5 price is just a token initial fee.

The way the system provides “providers” with the ability to list their services as “gigs.” At these gigs, vendors promise to perform tasks, ranging from digital marketing to creative writing for a nominal fee.

The customer will pay the vendor, and Fiverr will hold the money until the job is complete. The provider then has a certain amount of time to provide the client with their work. The customer can then request reviews or simply provide a “star” rating for the service they received.

The most important thing to remember about the Fiverr business model is that it is short and sharp. People go there for “easy” jobs and usually won’t pay for anything too ambitious. While it started out as a simple way to earn quick money as a struggling student, it quickly grew into the huge platform we see today.

Some of the most popular services purchased on Fiverr are copywriting and creative/article writing. People want native English writers to make “perfect” copy for their product listings, websites, and business portfolios in general. Providing these services on the platform gives you a straightforward way to earn an extra couple of hundred dollars for a relatively small outlay.

If you are interested in how it works, there are 3 tips that you can use to advance on the platform.

1. bepersonal

   The most important thing (for long-term growth) is to be personal. Using your real face, credentials, and portfolio is one of the most important ways to progress on the site. While you can make progress by being anonymous, or hiding behind a company name, it’s by far a better option to make sure you’re investing in yourself. Some of the most prolific sellers on the site are people who have simply presented their credentials and offered a service.

2. sell what you know

   Instead of trying to copy what other people are doing, sell what *you* know. This makes it take several tries to get a gig that people are actively searching for (for example, my friend was a finance guy and I set up a Fiverr gig for him to sell “cryptocurrency” items – orders started coming in quite speed). The most important thing to say with this is that if you’re trying to “fit in”, you’ll basically end up chasing a job that isn’t really your forte. Instead, you really need to put your best foot forward in a creative way (so people look for you).

3. Always experiment / test

   Finally, you need to keep trying new jobs, new ways to promote your work, and new ways to portray what you’ve done before. There is no point in stalling because she ends up wasting time and getting nowhere.

The most important thing to remember is that you can sell what everyone else is buying (which usually leads to short-term success). If you have real skill, you can use the Fiverr opportunity to gain the ability to improve your underlying brand.
