I made a few hundred dollars on Fiverr a few years ago but then gave up working on the site to pay more attention to my other writing concerns.
Reading your article, I feel I should resume presenting gigs so as to supplement my dwindling content marketing earnings.
Thanks a bunch for this ‘wake up call’.

In reply to Dana. The site wouldn't be a good fit for an architect, Dana. Fiverr's prime categories target online business owners (marketing, web design, programming, writing...)

Okay, I still don’t get it. How can someone like my husband, who is an architect, use this service. Anything he does is a lot longer than 15 minutes. It’s complicated work. How can he make any money charging $5 for a service that at the very minimum requires several hours.

Just call me Confused in Colorado!

In reply to Connie Brentford. Long-term clients are definitely something often overlooked, Connie. Most of my orders come from repeat clients.

Thanks for mentioning my book, Angie! And great article. You rock! I’ll add a personal note here for your readers. In October, my daughter started freelancing on Fiverr doing writing, editing and proofreading. She got enough gig sales for a nice chunk of income because of all those great extras you can now add. More importantly, she got those first clips she needed to really launch her freelance writing biz and nab those higher paying clients. Also, I use Fiverr as a client generator now. I offer small social media services to clients, mainly authors, as a gig and a percentage of those buyers will turn into a full clients for my social media management services. Fiverr is working to find clients for me. It’s a great marketplace!

Great article. I have run across fiverr so many times by accident but never really thought I could make any kind of significant income from it part time. This is really sparking some ideas. The upsell and backend sales are things I never thought of. I’ll check out Connie’s book too! Thanks!

I have made several hundred dollars on Fiverr by offering a service that requires one sign up for hosting. I get the referral for hosting which in turn is a nice commission for me.

However the trick is in getting your “gig” to rank well in Fiverr, otherwise it will be buried in the many thousands of listings. Your tips above are smart and accurate.

Thanks for sharing.

In reply to Kathleen. I felt the same way, Kathleen. Once you figure out the best Gigs to offer, you are good to go!

Thank you for this. I’ve been reluctant to use Fiverr too, not because I didn’t think it was worth it but because I wasn’t sure how it worked or what would be the best way to do it.
