如何在Fiverr上赚钱–我每月如何赚$ 2,000- $ 3,000

自2015年6月以来我一直在Fiverr上。

老实说，当我开始全职自由职业时，如果没有我的指导者和第一位大客户的指导，我什至不会考虑这一点。他一直使用它来销售社交媒体管理软件包，最终将其转换为长期的客户关系。

平台上已有4.5年的历史，我已经看到Fiverr从因每笔订单起价为5美元而引起的不良声誉发展到了一个由才华横溢的个人市场，他们已经学会了如何根据自己的技能在Fiverr上赚钱和经验。

在2015年6月至这篇文章发表之日之间，我通过该平台实际完成了多少工作。但是我从来没有完全离开过或者长时间休假，总是保持一致的存在。

正是这种一致性帮助我从一个卖方级别升至另一个卖方级别。

我既是“最受好评的卖家”，也是Pro市场的成员，这实际上使我处于在图拉杆上的头衔，使我的Gig出现在Fiverr的相关搜索中，同时还为我的定价提供了依据。

值得注意的是，您必须先经过Fiverr团队的审查，才能成为顶级卖家或专业市场的成员。与其他Fiverr卖方级别不同，这两个目标均不会通过实现某些里程碑而自动发生。

直到2019年我才成为最受好评的卖家。现在，我比以往任何时候都更轻松地在所有演出中获得大量的新订单。

也许是由于我在该平台上工作了多长时间以及我的工作性质（主要是内容写作），Fiverr的员工会定期伸出手来购买我的演出。

我曾为And.co，Veed.me撰写过文章，曾为Fiverr的网站撰写过一些代笔文章，当我成为Pro卖家时，也曾在Fiverr的博客中发表过文章。

随着Pro市场的推出，我在广告中与Jerry Media（@f *** jerry Instagram的知名度）一道亮相：

所有这一切都意味着，我确实在平台上遇到了一些幸运的休息，但如果没有作为Fiverr卖方的良好连贯性和任期，我可能不会与他们接触。

从2019年开始，我每月仅在Fiverr上就赚了2,000-3,000美元（这不代表我的自由职业者的大部分）-我将带您逐步了解学习如何赚钱所需做的一切在Fiverr上。

Fiverr如何为自由职业者工作

Upwork和Fiverr等受欢迎的自由职业者市场之间的主要区别是与客户合作的过程。

与客户合作进行Upwork意味着不断推销新工作。因此，没有您的投入，新工作就不会在后台发生-您必须在需要时主动寻找新工作。

Fiverr是一个完全不同的故事。

使用Fiverr，您实质上可以通过Gigs来提高服务质量。

每个演出都描述了您将以一定的价格换取的特定交付物，以“我会…”开头。

您可以提供涉及准系统的不同软件包，最高可达“作品”。您还可以提供Gig附加功能，使人们可以使用他们将从中受益的相关服务来自定义您的产品。

但是，关于Fiverr的最好的一点是，由于Gigs的设置方式，客户可以不用与您交谈就可以进行购买。

这意味着，如果您的演出适合他们的需求，那么在正确的时间，您可以在睡眠时进行销售。

无疑，人们仍然会不时地与您取得联系或询问定制的交付物。使用Fiverr并不意味着您可以完全放弃业务开发，尽管它肯定会帮助您简化流程。

归根结底，如果您想以自由职业者的身份赚更多的钱，减少您主动投入工作的时间意味着您有更多的时间来工作。

话虽如此，现在让我们回答人们在Fiverr上开始职业生涯时遇到的第一个问题：

到顶部
在Fiverr上卖什么

之前，我曾写过关于如何使用Fiverr为WPMU DEV发展业务的信息，其中包括一些有关要设置什么演出的想法。

就个人而言，我有Gigs可以帮助人们进行用户测试，SEO审核以及创建博客内容。但这只是我，大多数读者可能会想探索其他选择。

在决定在Fiverr上卖什么时，从Fiverr自己的类别页面获得灵感的最佳地方。您会在那里找到数十个不同的类别和子类别，并且所有类别都具有多个演出。

浏览这些类别，然后访问发挥自己优势的类别。然后浏览各个演出，并注意所有可能提供的东西。

记下您对每个现有Gig及其说明的满意之处，不满意之处以及为使报价脱颖而出所要做的事情。至少在某种程度上模仿您的竞争是上手并找到人们实际想要购买的Gig的确切类型的最简单方法。

“如果我想提供平台上还没有的东西怎么办？”首先，提供一个完全原始的Gig似乎是在挖掘一个隐藏的利基市场，但通常根本不是那样。如果您在平台上找不到Gig，则可能意味着客户对它并不真正感兴趣。

在业务中-甚至在Web设计业务中-竞争都很好。竞争的唯一存在是对市场的认可。没有竞争，没有市场。

例如，“编程与技术”类别涵盖了许多可能影响您技能的交付物。对于Web开发人员而言，Fiverr Gig的产品可能包括设置基本网站，提供WordPress维护服务，修复错误，实施安全工具，自定义插件或构建登录页面。如果您想以新开发者的身份加入平台，那么最好的选择就是在这个范围内做某事。

只有稍后，您才能尝试其他演出或更多量身定制的优惠。例如，我最近开始做的事情是将UX和SEO审核Gigs之间的点连接起来。

最初遇到一个Gig或另一个Gig时，人们可能没有意识到我可以提供两种服务。现在，我可以让某人在他们当前正在寻找的商品上购买另一个Gig（基本包装）。这些追加销售的效果令人惊讶，我很高兴-我希望同样的策略可以为您提供帮助！

与此相关的是，对于客户要求但您却不想做或不想做的补充服务，请考虑设置一个Fiverr Studios Gig，在这里您可以与另一位卖家合作，并共同分享利润。

像这样的事情非常适合我的SEO或UX审核Gig，这两者都涉及诊断网站问题，然后与另一位卖家合作进行网站编辑，以帮助买家通过未来的审核。

既然您已经有机会了解到Fiverr的可能性，那么让我们深入探讨获得成功的最重要方面-如何设置出色的Fiverr Gig。

如何建立成功的Fiverr Gig

学习如何在Fiverr上赚钱时，您要做的最重要的事情之一就是在构建演出时要很有目的。

以下是我目前提供的演出以及有关过去六个月中搜索和转化效果的一些相关统计信息：

最初，您会受到可设置的演出数量，演出数量（额外销售）以及演出数量（演出产品数量的倍数）的限制。随着您提升每个卖家级别，您在这些领域中的限制都将越来越少。

如果您对在平台上销售什么有很多想法，那么这些初始限制可能会令人沮丧–但是，当您刚开始时，请尝试将它们视为一件好事。您所售出的服务越少，围绕生产可交付成果并提供出色的买家体验的良好流程就越容易。

这是我对Fiverr的最爱：

设置Fiverr Gig将迫使您“生产”您的服务。

具体而言，这意味着明确概述买方将以一定价格获得的可交付成果。这些交付物可以通过各种包装，Gig额外加售和Gig倍数来进一步个性化以满足买方的需求。

为Fiverr产品服务的美丽之处在于，它们将更易于即时报价，就像客户联系定制订单时一样。通过围绕您的产品进行一些标准化，围绕执行相似订单创建流程也将变得更加容易-节省您的时间并增加潜在的产出。

在一开始就对Fiverr实施强制限制时，您将不得不专注于产品化最有信心的服务。在这个狭窄的焦点上，您将找出如何提高效率。

每月$ 2000 +的会员，Fiverr卖方Shahzad Saaed谈到着陆页设计Gig，他通过重新使用模板来很好地进行缩放，以使交付物毫无问题。

对于UX审核Gig，我也有类似的感觉。他们对我来说很快，我可以立即取消大量订单。

那你能提供什么呢？

在我们进行一些有关设置您的演出的重要注意事项时，请稍作讨论：

Fiverr Gig视觉效果：图像和视频

设置Fiverr Gig时，“不要凭封面判断书”应该不是您的指导原则。

实际上，Fiverr Gig的商品销售方式将对人们是否真正点击相关搜索并进行购买产生重大影响。

Fiverr公关经理Holly Steffy分享了以下最佳做法：

• 我们建议您添加醒目的主Gig图像（608 x 410px或更高，并且尺寸比例相似）。主要形象应加强服务，并具有专业性和优质外观。无论类别如何，它都应该看起来专业，并且图像应无版权。
• 我们还建议图像中的文字最少（占图像的20％或更少）。
• 对于视觉类别，最佳做法是每个图像显示一个工作样本。
• 对于非视觉类别，图像应代表所提供的服务，并应灌输对卖方专业且能够提供高质量体验的信心。但是，每个用于视觉和非视觉类别的Gig图像都应具有自己的独特图像。

我不确定我的图片是否完全遵循所有这些准则，但是它们并没有妨碍我学习如何在Fiverr上赚钱。

我最近重新设计了Fiverr Gig图片，以反映我自己的品牌美学：

值得注意的是，如果您在专业市场上，将自己的照片包含在主Gig图像中可能会很有用-特别是如果您在该领域众所周知的话。

除了用于帮助区分Gig的主要视觉效果外，您还应该考虑添加视频以介绍自己（和您的专业知识），同时还解释人们下订单时会得到什么，以及他们可以购买的Gig额外优惠以及他们为什么要购买值得额外的费用。

演出视频不一定非得是一场高潮的考验，只需在不忙碌的背景下拍摄自己，穿着专业并明确表达与您合作的价值即可。

演出说明：以精美的副本出售您的报价

就像在线上其他地方的销售页面一样，对商品的描述很可能会导致某人购买您的商品或其他卖家的商品与众不同。

因此，请确保尽您最大的能力充实每个级别提供的可交付成果的详细信息（以及Gig附加功能），以设定期望。这样做还可以提高交付成果的效率-减少某人由于不真正了解自己所购买的商品而想要进行修改的机会。

尝试搜索您打算在Fiverr市场上提供的服务类型，以了解其他人对此的看法，包括他们用来形容该词的具体词语。

请注意：“ Fiverr搜索算法如何工作？”部分提供了Fiverr SEO的更多详细信息，并在您的演出中加入了相关关键字。 ?

在编写您的Gig描述时，请注意人们会遇到的问题。通过确保详细说明您的相关经验，说服买家您是最合适的人选。

如果您提供其他相关的演出，请在说明中提及这些演出，并呼吁采取行动，以供买方签出。

不要忘记格式化副本以使其易于阅读，以使重要的事情脱颖而出。

以下是一些出色的复印格式的快速提示：

• 使用文字装饰（粗体，斜体，下划线）增加重点
• 使用要点使列表易于阅读
• 句子和段落要简短些，以免前景被文字墙淹没

考虑到所有这些注意事项，以下是我的UX审核Gig的Gig说明：

带包装和Gig Extras的追加销售

在考虑如何在Fiverr上出售服务时，您需要考虑基本，标准和高级套餐。

换一种说法：

• 您的服务的最基本版本是什么？
• 与基本产品相比，您可以怎么做才能在标准包装中提供更多价值？
• 包含所有铃铛的软件包将与哪些可交付成果相关联？

这是我为UX审核演出设置Gig软件包的方法：

在Fiverr上，有代表不同预算的购买者，因此，您最好通过创建适合不同用例的软件包来提供吸引所有购买者的选择。

除了套餐外，您还想通过设置一些Gig附加项来创造追加销售的机会。

Gig Extras为买家提供了订购更多相同交付品的机会（例如，更多页面在我的UX审核Gig上进行了审核），更快地交付您的订单（例如一天的周转费）或补充服务（我额外销售了一份演出）用于我的SEO审核Gig上的UX审核，反之亦然）。

如果您可以掌握这些订单，我强烈建议您提供一天的周转选项，这是一个轻松赚钱的方法。

只要确保交货日期一般是现实的即可。

给您足够的时间来满足您日常工作量之外令人惊讶的一天的周转订单。或预测您可能的Fiverr工作量并在日历上预留时间。

为了让您大致了解这是如何工作的，以下是我的UX审核Gig的Gig附加功能：

您会注意到，有些选项是根据Gig类别预先填充的建议，例如测试其他页面或提供其他屏幕记录分钟。此外，我添加的一些Gig Extras选项是基于客户过去的要求。

使用Fiverr意味着标准化每个演出的产品。但是，通过策略性地使用Gig软件包和Gig Extras，您将使人们感到您正在尝试专门针对他们-他们会对此表示赞赏。

通过Gig要求和FAQ部分设置期望

使用Fiverr的最好之处在于，它无需您亲自进行任何业务开发工作即可促进销售。

您可以通过完整的FAQ部分和Gig要求问题进一步减少来回通信的工作。

重要的是要做出适当设置这些部分所必需的工作，因为对我来说，使用Fiverr的全部目的是帮助减少在业务开发上花费的时间-从而有更多的时间专注于工作本身。

使用“常见问题解答”部分可以主动回答人们的问题。具体来说，常见问题解答应预见有关您的流程和可交付成果的常见问题。

这是我的UX审核Gig的常见问题解答：

如果您现在很迷惑，您会发现在启动新的Gig之后，Fiverr收件箱将提供许多有关FAQ的想法。

如果您一次又一次遇到相同的问题，则表明您没有分享人们在购买Gig之前真正需要知道的所有信息。您不会意识到一遍又一遍地回答这些消息是多么烦人，直到它们每天都频繁出现。

也就是说，一些买家在联系他们的问题之前不会花时间仔细阅读您的Gig描述（以及支持的详细信息）。尽量不要感到烦恼-我们都跳过尝试浏览常见问题解答而直接与客户支持联系的做法，对此深感内gui。

常见问题解答的另一种最佳做法：下订单后，分享您对Gig要求提出的具体问题。这将有助于买家形象地与您合作。

在您可以在FAQ（或在其他地方，在Fiverr上公开）中共享的一项主要限制是可单击链接，例如那些会导致在您的投资组合中共享类似项目的链接。

也就是说，您可以将工作示例直接上传到Fiverr作为您的作品集。

编程和技术Five演出的Gig要求

设置Gig要求非常有用，它可以最大程度地减少项目的来回时间，同时确保您创建的最终产品令买方满意。

想知道在“需求要求”部分问什么？

Fiverr公关经理Holly Steffy表示，“编程和技术”类别中的常见基本要求包括：

• 网站网址和登录

• 托管登录

• 照片或文字应包含在内
• 来自其他网站的灵感示例（如果卖方正在为买方创建新网站）
• 向买方询问他们的业务及其网站目标

这是另一种观点-我在UX审核Gig上对买家的要求是什么：

如何为您的Fiverr演出定价

根据Fiverr的公关经理Holly Steffy的说法，当卖方考虑如何为固定价格定价时，要求他们考虑以下事项：

1. 如果他们离线工作，他们需要为离线费用多少？
2. 他们每小时希望赚多少钱（这项工作需要花费几个小时）？
3. 他们对Fiverr的比赛收取多少费用，特别是那些处于相同水平并且具有相同经验和技能的人？
4. 他们的离线竞争产品为此服务收取多少费用？

如果您想学习如何在Fiverr上赚钱，则必须与您类别中的类似Gigs竞争-至少要在某种程度上。进入专业市场会改变规则，以允许价格更多变化，同时仍保持高质量。

熙是您开始使用Fiverr之前可能要回答的最重要的问题：

“我真的必须以五美元的价格定价吗？”

我发现这是正确的：

如果您是直接进入专业市场，那么答案是：绝对不会。实际上，在Fiverr Pro上对演出的价格定价过低可能表明您与该级别的其他卖家相比超出了竞争对手。

另一方面，如果您在平台上没有任期并开始全新工作，那么至少有一个低价的Gig可以帮助您建立指标，订单和评分，这对于提升水平是必不可少的。

提供优质而又不消耗精力的关键在于提供可以快速完成的服务。

过去对我来说-在升级之前-其中包括我的UX审核Gig和SEO审核报告的五分钟屏幕录像，这些录像是由我最喜欢的SEO工具之一自动生成的，并附有一些评论，说明应立即解决哪些问题以及为什么。

话虽如此，一旦您从信誉良好的卖家那里获得了一些社会证明（较高的级别和/或好评），就完全没有理由以5美元的价格提供任何Gig了。

Fiverr搜索算法如何工作？

有许多因素决定了Gig在相关搜索中的排名。

与Google一样，关于Fiverr搜索算法的具体细节也是商业秘密。但是，假设这些组件可能包括：

• 您总共有多少五星级评论和平均星级
• 总订单已完成
• 卖家等级
• 您的指标的加权平均值，从“好”到“坏”的等级进行判断（至少根据维持卖方水平的要求，低于90％的情况似乎属于“坏”的范畴）
• 策略性地使用Gig标题，描述和上传的图像/视频文件名中的关键字

尽管已过时，但2015年Inet Solutions的一篇文章建议将Gig的视图和订单作为其他潜在的排名因素，这对我来说很有意义。 Just Entrepreneurship在排名信号方面有一些其他想法，并提供一些技巧来调整演出。

如果您大致了解SEO页的基本知识，那么您将为设置针对Fiverr搜索而优化的Gig做好充分的准备。

这两类搜索的主要区别是什么？

在Fiverr上，您与客户的互动将对您在相关搜索中的位置产生的影响与优化Gig上各种设置的方式一样大。

这是Fiverr搜索排名的另一个可能因素：

如果您迟到交付Gig，Fiverr会部署标语以警告您迟到，并注意这样做可以减少10％的订单。

目前尚不清楚这是由于搜索算法因素还是由于买方对Gig页面（或两者）对您的平均投放时间指标的反应。

Fiverrcast第13集分享了Fiverr SEO的一些其他提示，Fiverr赞同在其博客上发布的性质：

• 为每个特定服务创建一个Gig，这样您就不会针对相关关键字进行优化。
• 确保正确分类了演出。
• 不要填入关键字（过度使用关键字会导致不自然地出现）。
• 通过使用相关关键字的副本充实您的Gig描述。
• 了解图像文件名会影响Google索引编制。 Fiverr的第一个超级卖家兼官方大使twistedweb123（Adam）提到，根据所提供的内容命名Gig的图像文件很重要。

在这个Fiverrcast播客节目中，亚当还说：“ Fiverr告诉 [Google] 尝试使用描述中的第一种或两种描述在搜索引擎结果中显示”。

在Google上搜索我的用户名和单词“ Fiverr”返回的模板响应并非直接来自我的Gig描述：

因此，我不同意他们在上述关于Fiverr SEO的Fiverrcast一集中所概括的SEO的每一个特征，但是有相同的好技巧。

此外，此播客节目分享了一些技巧，可帮助您在Google上进行内部搜索和建立索引的混合操作，但不能使任何一个主题彼此独立。

但是，我们可以肯定地说：

根据Fiverr的PR经理Holly Steffy的说法，“编程与技术”类别中的热门搜索词包括：WordPress，电子商务，网站开发，Shopify和网站设计。

关于搜索的工作原理，这是我们的Fiverr指南的最后一件事：如何使用搜索标签在Gigs上获得更多展示。

Fiverr搜索标签的一些最佳做法包括：

• 使用标签来描述您所服务的特定服务和行业。
• 尽最大能力添加五个相关标签。
• 请勿尝试使用特殊字符和重复的术语-它们将被忽略。

Fiverr与其他流行的自由职业者市场

CodeinWP分享了七个受欢迎的WordPress自由职业者市场和工作委员会的列表，但这个数字实际上只是冰山一角。对于每个专业的利基市场，都有一个市场，您可以在这里找到可以帮助完成相关任务的人员。

当涉及自由职业时，就保持活跃存在的位置而言，两个大人物往往在对话中占主导地位：Upwork和Fiverr。

Upwork和Fiverr：合并，收购和IPO

Upwork和Fiverr都采取了大胆的行动来扩大自己的势力范围。

具体来说，Upwork与性质相似的两家公司合并：oDesk和Elance。

Fiverr还采取了行动，以与类似的自由职业市场合并，例如Veed.me（视频制作市场）和ClearVoice（内容编写平台）。更有趣的是，Fiverr希望获得诸如And.co之类的工具来帮助自由职业者管理其业务。

also也请阅读：自由职业者的时间管理，没有时间

尽管我不确定这对卖家有多大的影响，但每个公司在出版时的规模都有明显的不同：

Fiver即将在其市场上吸引一百万卖家-出版时已超过830,000。尽管Fiverr并没有按行业细分数字，但是在Web设计和开发类别中有成千上万的卖方。

那么，这与Upwork相比如何？

2018年公司的一篇文章引用了Mary Meeker在5月30日的演讲。根据Meeker的说法，Upwork平台上有1600万自由职业者，从2017年到2018年增长了23％。这是我所能找到的关于Upwork自由职业者数量的最具体，最新的数据。

有趣的是，Upwork与Fiverr上的买家数量之间的差距并不大。 Fiverr在Upwork的5M +地区有230万卖家。

与此相关的是，Fiverr和Upwork在最近的历史中都进行了首次公开募股（IPO）。

这些合并和收购，加上成功上市的努力，证明了崇高的增长目标的存在。为了实现这些目标，他们必须与为这些平台提供动力的员工保持良好的关系。

那么，为什么选择Fiverr而不是Upwork？

最终取决于您要花费多少时间获得订单。

Upwork如何为自由职业者工作

在Upwork，自由职业者响应客户发布的工作。

每个作业的定义如下：

• 描述性标题和较长的职位描述
• 每小时收费或固定价格
• 持续时间
• 经验水平
• 位置要求（如果适用）

Upwork提供了多种工具来帮助您缩小相关工作范围，包括高级搜索功能和过滤器。

但从本质上讲，每次您想与Upwork上的新客户一起工作时，都必须花一些时间和精力来证明自己为什么很合适。您可以使用基本的求职模板来创建效率，但是您仍然必须付出一些努力以根据潜在客户对其进行自定义。实际上，由于有很多其他人在寻找工作，因此您确实必须带出自己的A游戏才能脱颖而出。

不可避免地，您花很多时间在Upwork项目的推销上永远不会赚钱，因为会有人更适合—或更愿意便宜地做。

因此，宣传Upwork会浪费很多精力，您无法从中获利。

因此，如果这还不够烦人，那么这并不是Upwork面临的唯一障碍。

有“连接”。

Upwork如何赚钱？客户和自由职业者的上班费

Upwork Connects是自由职业者用来向Upwork上的客户提交建议的货币。每个成本0.15美元，您需要1到6个Connects才能胜任一项工作（根据项目预算计算）。

是的，您需要支付Upwork的费用来推销他们可能永远无法获得的工作。

尽管他们提供了“免费计划”，但建议您以每月14.99美元的价格使用Freelancer Plus计划，以每月获得价值10.50美元的Connects积分以及其他模糊的“好处”。代理商还必须支付Connects以及与付费自由职业者相关的付款处理费。

除了与Connects相关的成本外，自由职业者还根据其向客户支付的费用向其收取费用：

Upwork还将向自由职业者收取每笔银行取款0.99美元的费用，其中不包括可能在汇款的银行收取的入金。

总而言之，Upwork在自由职业者和客户的两端都赚钱，而且每次赚钱都在赚钱。

但是在这方面他们并不孤单。

Fiverr如何赚钱？客户和自由职业者的Fiverr费用

学习如何在Fiverr上赚钱意味着了解Fiverr也将从您的服务中赚钱。

与Upwork一样，Fiverr也会向自由职业者和代理商收取使用其市场的费用，以及在您转移资金时的费用。

对于自由职业者，这涉及任何项目的20％的固定费用。这与Upwork相当，尽管在Fiverr上，没有动力与一个客户继续合作以减少这段关系期间的费用。

我真正不明白的是，如果客户给您小费，Fiverr还会从您的订单中赚取20％的额外折扣。

遵循行业标准3％的支付处理费可能是合理的，但是当前的情况肯定是俗气的。每当您想通过直接存款将资金转入您的银行帐户时，Fiverr还会收取$ 1的费用。您可以免费将钱转移到Paypal，但是您仍然需要支付Paypal的手续费，因此，这确实不是一个更好的情况。

On the client side, Fiverr charges a service fee to place an order: $2 on orders up to $40, and 5% on purchases above $40.

Although it can certainly hurt to know that you’re automatically giving up 20% of the sale with a new client on Fiverr or Upwork, it might ease the pain a bit to understand that these fees are tax-deductible.

It’s the little things.

While both platforms make money on every conceivable aspect of the transaction, I still think it makes more sense to spend your time and energy on Fiverr because of the way Gigs are set up.

Why Fiverr should be your freelance marketplace of choice

Listen, no freelancer marketplace is perfect.

I wouldn’t suggest that you build your freelance business completely on the rented land that is a marketplace like Fiverr.

Your ultimate goal should be to build a brand (read how here) that attracts clients to your services from a variety of sources. That way, if any one of these inputs ever falls apart — like if a freelance marketplace decides to shut down your account — you’re not totally screwed when it comes to paying your bills.

But all that said, Fiverr can be a great side hustle or supplement to your freelance business income. Fiverr’s marketplace has a built-in user base that funnels traffic to your Gigs: you just have to convert that traffic with a great offer supported by a solid reputation on the platform.

Even if you don’t technically own the client relationship, Fiverr can help you build up a regular clientele of cool businesses to work with and good agency partners.

And you have the option of using Fiverr as more than just a seller — there’s a lot of talent that you might want to tap on the platform for help with your own business.

On a related note, Fiverr Studios offers another way to work with fellow freelancers on multi-faceted projects.

What I really like about using Fiverr over the past several years is that it has allowed me to test out various service offerings and the various components that make them up.

Based on the questions I get and the packages that people order, I learn more about what people really want. This helps support how I structure my offerings — even outside of the platform.

Fiverr has come a long way from its initial launch as a platform that forced freelancers to offer services starting at $5.

While you should certainly take related marketplace offerings into consideration when structuring your Gigs, you have complete freedom to set your own pricing (with some minor restrictions for sending custom offers, depending on your seller level).

All that said, learning how to make money on Fiverr is a long game.

There’s a large distance between the level you’ll start at as a new seller and the level you’ll need to be to make the $2-3k/month I’ve been pulling in.

Understanding Fiverr seller levels & how to level up

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again:

Making decent money on Fiverr doesn’t happen overnight. It might not even happen in your first year on the platform.

If your goal is to become a Top Rated Seller, you need to be handpicked by the Fiverr team, which will require a lot of consistency for a long time before that happens.

Figuring out how to make money on Fiverr is a long-term strategy, which will become more apparent after walking through details around levelling up as a seller and other considerations for keeping clients happy on the platform.

Let’s break down what it means to sell on Fiverr at each level:

Fiverr Seller

When you first sign up for a Fiverr account, this will be your level.

Fiverr’s generic advice is to “work hard and play fair”, which isn’t a bad generalization — though it makes more sense once you see the requirements to move up to become a Level One Seller.

Fiverr Level One Seller

Moving up levels is beneficial because you’ll receive more visibility in search, plus eligibility to be featured in promotional listings — like what happened to me when Fiverr Pro launched.

Levelling up also unlocks additional customization options around your gigs.

At minimum, you won’t be eligible to become a Level One Seller until your Fiverr account has been active for at least 60 days. You must also complete at least 10 separate orders and earn a collective $400.

It’s at this point that various metrics start to become relevant: star ratings, response rate, order completion rate, and on-time delivery.

We’ll dig into what you need to understand about those metrics more after going through the rest of these levels.

Fiverr Level Two Seller

Aside from becoming a Top Rated Seller, Level Two Seller is the highest Fiverr level you can achieve on your own, automatically, by ticking the boxes associated with each requirement.

Notably, you’ll need to be active on Fiverr for 120 days, completely 50 orders, and earn at least $2,000 all-time.

One of the “benefits” of becoming a Level Two Seller is improved access to Fiverr Customer Support — though that’s not necessarily a relief. You’ll find out soon that Fiverr will usually side with a rogue buyer over an in-the-right seller in the majority of situations.

Fiverr Top Rated Seller

This is the highest Fiverr Seller level and I can assure you that it’s not easy to achieve.

Besides becoming a Fiverr Pro, the process to level up as a Top Rated Seller is not automatic. You will need to be manually approved and in addition to your current metrics, Fiverr will take past performance into consideration.

Notably, to qualify as a Top Rated Seller, you’ll need to be active on Fiverr for 180 days, complete 100 orders, and earn at least $20,000 (in addition to maintaining good metrics more generally).

To put this into perspective for someone just starting out, I don’t think I made $20,000 total on Fiverr until 2018, or 3+ years after initially signing up. That said, I never used Fiverr as my primary source for finding new business.

Here are my earnings from Fiverr as of 1/5/20, over four years after initially signing up for the platform:

Also notable — for all other levels, it takes 14 days for money earned from accepted deliveries to clear. As a Top Rated Seller, you need only wait 7 days after an order is completed.

Fiverr Pro Seller

Strangely absent from Fiverr’s page detailing seller levels is a mention of Fiverr Pro, a niche marketplace of freelancers who’ve been personally vetted by Fiverr’s team.

In many ways, Fiverr Pro is a horizontal move from being a Top Rated Seller. Both distinctions help to justify higher pricing and will help direct a higher quantity of buyers towards your Gigs.

Fiverr Pros can charge premium prices because they guarantee a high level of quality with deliverables — which is harder to police on the wider Fiverr marketplace. Fiverr claims that only 1% of applicants make it through their vetting process.

Fiverr PR Manager Holly Steffy adds these additional details, “Pro sellers are hand-vetted based on their experience, not only on Fiverr but also offline and even on other platforms”.

Check out Fiverr Pro’s about page for more details regarding what sets Pro sellers apart.

When applying for Fiverr Pro, you’ll be asked to share social profiles, professional experience (including a portfolio if you have one), and educational experience. Make sure to detail major client wins, awards, and big names you’ve worked with to help Fiverr staff understand why you’re a cut above the rest and to push your application through.

If you want to be considered for Fiverr Pro, it’s important to realize that you’ll be approved for one narrow Gig category at a time.

For example, right now, I’m approved for Pro Gigs related to article writing and social media management. On the wider Fiverr marketplace, there are no restrictions regarding which Gigs you can offer across a variety of categories.

Besides the barrier created by skills tests, potentially.

On becoming a Pro seller, Fiverr PR Manager Holly Steffy adds,

“Skills tests are not a barrier to entry in order to create a Programming and Tech Gig on Fiverr. That said, in order to become a Pro seller, there are a variety of things one needs to share in order to be selected.

Internal Fiverr stakeholders look for a minimum of 3-5 samples of work.

For websites specifically, they want to see customization, mobile responsiveness, and integrations. In addition to checking out their portfolio of work, stakeholders are also looking at people’s resumes, LinkedIn profiles, personal sites, and more to verify the experience level”.

Fiverr Studios

Fiverr Studios allows you to work with other Fiverr sellers to deliver a project with multiple facets. For example, if you had a Fiverr Studios Gig for website design, you might have one seller who acts as the designer, another seller who does development work, as well as other sellers who help with copywriting and SEO.

This isn’t technically a Fiverr seller level but it is a distinction of sorts, with a set of rules that differs slightly from your average gig.

The person designated as “Studio Lead” acts as the project manager and single point of contact for the client:

I’ve got to say that Fiverr Studios intrigues me but I’d probably be uncomfortable risking my own metrics over someone else’s late delivery.

I asked Fiverr PR, “What are your tips for using Studios effectively? As a seller, I’d be worried that someone else would bring my metrics down”.

This was their response:

“Fiverr Studios is a great way for freelancers to collaborate and expand their skillset. It’s also an opportunity for them to expand their clientele by working on more complex projects.

Before a seller should determine if they would like to join a Studio, it’s important for them to take the time to vet other Studios members and make sure that everyone is aligned on the services being offered, expectations on timing for each part of the project, etc.

Many Fiverr Sellers already have existing relationships with other sellers from previous projects or referrals, which is a great place to start having those conversations”.

Unfortunately, this didn’t completely answer my question about how working with other sellers might impact your metrics.

But this Studios FAQ page does:

As does this:

As of right now, the feature is still currently in Beta and not available to all sellers.

So how do you apply? Right now it looks like Fiverr isn’t accepting applications but rather identifying and approaching sellers who they think would do well:

At any rate, improving and maintaining good metrics is an important aspect of growth on this marketplace.

Which brings me to my next point…

The importance of metrics for levelling up on Fiverr

Looking through the various requirements for moving up as a Fiverr seller provides some basic context for the level of service you’re expected to provide to customers on this platform.

Specifically, to maintain your level (without a downgrade) or move to the next, Fiverr expects you to maintain:

• A minimum average 4.7 star rating
• 90% response rate over 60 days
• 90% order completion rate over 60 days
• 90% on-time delivery over 60 days
• No warnings over 30 days

说起来容易做起来难。 Especially because some aspects of these metrics are completely out of your control.

Let me give you an example:

The other day, someone bought one of my Gigs and immediately cancelled it. I’ve had no communications with this client prior to or after them placing this order.

I asked if my order completion rate would be affected and this is what Fiverr Support had to say:

Fun, right?

The fact that Fiverr can’t manually change aspects of the seller level algorithm in situations such as this is enough to make your blood boil.

But — all of this is to say that you can’t control everything, especially when you’re building your freelance business on rented land. So you’d better come to terms with that now if you don’t want Fiverr to drive you insane.

Here are a few tips for avoiding bad metrics in general:

• You automatically get a 1 star review if you’re late to deliver and someone cancels the order. So basically, avoid delivering late at all costs since this can also affect your on-time delivery metric. If necessary, you can opt to extend the order with approval from your buyer.

• Over delivering on expectations is a great way to guarantee 5 star reviews, which is an important metric for levelling up or maintaining a seller level. For my content writing Gig, this might mean going slightly over word count. For my UX audit Gig, this might mean filming a few extra minutes on a screen recording. And overdelivering doesn’t have to mean sacrificing profits — happy Fiverr customers are good tippers.

• Keep your response rate in the green by replying to all new messages within 24 hours. Even if you need time to think of a good response, respond ASAP to set expectations for when you’ll get back to someone. I’d recommend setting a calendar reminder to do this at the same time every day, so you don’t accidentally fall behind.

• Though response time isn’t a metric that affects your levels, it might be a factor when people are deliberating between working with you and another seller. It may also be a factor in Fiverr’s search algorithm for recommending Gigs to buyers. More speculation on Fiverr ranking factors can be found under the section of this article titled, “How does the Fiverr search algorithm work?”.

• Use Out of Office mode to pause new orders and even incoming messages if you need a break. If you’re serious about learning how to make money on Fiverr, you’ll realize that it’s better to lose out on orders than compromise your metrics if you’re otherwise too busy to keep up.

As to what the future of metrics might look like?

Says Fiverr PR Manager Holly Steffy, “Order completion, star ratings, and on-time delivery have always been among the top metrics”. She adds, “As the platform has grown, we are always looking out for what metrics are the most important for our buyer community and reflect that in how we measure a seller by their success”.

Which provides the perfect segue to the next section:

On Fiverr, the customer is always right

Now that you understand the differences between each Fiverr level and how to level up from one to another, it’s time to address a harsh truth that comes hand in hand with learning how to make money on Fiverr:

The customer is always right. Even when they’re completely wrong.

This is really my main gripe with Fiverr. By nature of completing so many orders and being on the platform for so many years, I was bound to deal with a few bad eggs, statistically speaking.

No matter the situation, in most cases, when a buyer decides that they don’t like your work, they will get a refund and it will come out of your earnings.

It doesn’t matter what “proof” you share with Customer Support — there have only been a handful of situations where I’ve come out on top with disputes involving buyers who’ve had a long history of abusing freelancers on Fiverr.

So I’m warning you now that if you invest your time in Fiverr, there will be some frustrating situations ahead of you. That said, these situations have become fewer and farther between now that I’m both a Pro and Top Rated Seller.

Here’s a good example of the frustrating divide between how Fiverr treats buyers compared to sellers:

In this situation, Fiverr chooses the buyer over the seller in two ways:

• Because buyers have an extended review period, orders completed on time will be paid out to the seller three to seven days later than expected if the seller decides to take this extra time (over a period of time typically associated with heavy spending).
• The seller is not given any additional business days to complete an order during the holidays, making it feel like their time is worth less than the buyer (we also appreciate having the time and space to enjoy the holidays with our friends and families).

In general, the cheaper your prices on Fiverr, the worse the class of buyers you’ll be dealing with. And this is just as true outside of Fiverr: the cheapest clients are usually those that expect the most from you while being the most difficult to work with.

It’s worth noting that if you start with cheap prices, it will be hard to later increase pricing with the clients you’ve already worked with. So ideally, start with sustainable pricing and adjust as necessary when you gain new experience and knowledge.

The real key to limiting awful client interactions on Fiverr is to be crystal clear about the nature of the deliverable you’re providing with each Gig package. You must also do your due diligence when collecting information from the client with the set of questions (known as Gig requirements) that trigger with each new order.

Finally, set a limit for revisions (even zero is fine), so that you and the client are on the same page about what’s included.

My standard offering for content writing services — including what I do outside of Fiverr — includes two revisions. This has helped me to get good reviews, earn great tips, and retain loyal customers.

But if you want to successfully learn how to make money on Fiverr, do whatever you can to give people what they want the first time, otherwise, revisions can take so much time that your Gigs are no longer profitable.

Selling yourself with your Fiverr profile

There are plenty of ways to communicate your expertise and experience on your Fiverr profile.

First off, Fiverr has a section where you can list “notable” clients. If you’ve worked with some big names, or cater to a specific industry and have a wide breadth of experience with others in the industry, make sure you’re using this section to showcase your expertise.

Fiverr also offers Skill Tests you can take to demonstrate basic proficiency across major service categories. I can tell you that I’ve never taken one and have still risen up the ranks, though this feature is new. I’m guessing that Skill Tests are probably most important for certain technical Gigs (or to demonstrate language proficiency).

Perhaps the weirdest sections you can fill out on your profile are “Professional Presence” and “Social Presence”.

Both invite you to share website and social media links but neither set of inputs become clickable in your profile, which makes me wonder why they’re there at all.

Fiverr PR Manager Holly Steffy helped clear things up, “Including social links in the seller’s profile is a great trust indicator to the buying community that they are an actual person behind their Fiverr account”.

Besides aiming to share complete details in sections about related skills, educational experience, and certifications, the best thing you can do is provide an elevator pitch of sorts in your profile description.

Make sure to answer these questions:

• 你是做什么？
• Who do you serve?
• What makes you different from your competition?

Get specific with regard to details. Share how long you’ve worked in your industry and what about it makes you excited to do your job. Feel free to share a bit of your personality too.

Put basically — give people something to talk about with you when they message you.

Holly Steffy also shared these additional tips:

“For a Fiverr Seller, their profile is how they present themselves to Fiverr’s global community. It’s an opportunity to introduce themselves, their background, talents, and experience to potential customers. The bio description should directly speak to who the seller is and their unique experience. Sellers should also take it upon themselves to fill in the available fields as much as possible.”

Since it’s easy to get stuck in your own head, I’d recommend asking someone (or a few people) to audit your Fiverr profile to see if you’ve missed anything important or if there any obvious questions you haven’t answered.

But in general, when it comes to learning how to make money on Fiverr, it’s better to just get started — even if your profile and Gigs aren’t 100% perfect. You can continue to optimize these assets over time.

Five star reviews can make or break your success on Fiverr

You’ll notice that to progress forward and maintain higher Seller levels, you have to maintain an average 4.7 star rating over 60 days.

说起来容易做起来难。 Although most modern Fiverr customers aren’t cheap, they’re certainly critical.

Perhaps this is because Fiverr prompts buyers to share feedback with regards to the same metrics they measure in association with your account:

As a result, buyers will consider much more than just the final deliverable when leaving a star rating. They’ll take the whole order experience into consideration, so it’s in your best interest to over-communicate and over-deliver.

And over-delivering doesn’t have to mean doing extra work: it can mean delivering an order earlier than expected.

People have specifically brought this up in my reviews:

“On time” is another common phrase that comes up in association with my five star reviews:

…Which makes me think that there are plenty of Fiverr sellers that buyers work with who aren’t delivering on time.

And when I go above and beyond with a revision request, I usually get a great review (plus a tip):

When delivering an order, invite buyers to request changes or ask questions — not because you want extra work but because you don’t want to have to overcome the negative impacts of bad reviews.

At the end of the day, great reviews from clients who are really happy with you going the extra mile will win you the sale when buyers are comparing two similar sellers.

I asked Fiverr PR Manager Holly Steffy if there was any reason to feel compelled to reply to a seller’s review and she said:

“This shows appreciation to the buyer but it also shows potential buyers that the seller is engaged with their customers. If a seller receives a review that isn’t favorable, it also allows them the opportunity to respond with their side of the story in a respectful manner”.

Which totally makes sense — both for good and bad situations.

I was curious to learn more about the words that come up most commonly in association with my own reviews (including the buyers most likely to leave them).

Here’s a word cloud based on my last 12 months of Fiverr reviews:

I’m sure you’re wondering — what happens if you want to move client relationships off Fiverr?

Answering this question requires first taking a step back. Specifically, because Fiverr makes a cut of every sale, they have a vested interest in keeping your client relationships on their platform.

In fact, they’re so interested in training you to be loyal that they offer commission-free transactions for any of your own clients that you bring over to their platform.

Because Fiverr wants to own these client relationships, you’ll get a warning — up to account suspension — if you attempt to move communications that started on Fiverr off the Fiverr platform.

Sure, there are some exceptions. For example, when clients get in touch asking for portfolio samples, Fiverr won’t punish me if I send links to my portfolio website (though I can’t share clickable links to my own properties on any public-facing aspects of my Fiverr profile).

? By the way, if you don’t have a portfolio website yet, consider building one yourself using one of these platforms.

Sometimes, clients ask if we can hop on a phone call before placing an order and I have to say no. Technically, Fiverr offers some video call functionality but I’m not really interested in using it. If I have to spend a lot of time on the relationship before an order, it kind of defeats the purpose of Fiverr for me (and stops justifying their 20% cut).

All of this is to basically say that you shouldn’t make any obvious attempts to move a client relationship off Fiverr, because it will likely get your account banned.

How to keep Fiverr clients happy: tips for working with Fiverr customers

Even if you don’t want to work with a particular client on another order, you’ll want to follow some best practices to maintain (or improve upon) your current Fiverr Seller level.

This might start with a mindset shift.

If you really want to figure out how to make money on Fiverr, you need to get over the thought process that it’s a place for cheap customers. Not everyone, not even most users that I work with, are cheap customers — especially those that purchase Pro orders.

On average, I get tipped on orders at least once a week, up to $40 on top of the amount already paid.

It’s worth noting that even though PayPal offers a tipping feature, I would never add a tip option to my regular invoices outside of Fiverr. It’s just not appropriate. But it’s nice to know that it’s an option on this platform that people can use if they want but shouldn’t feel pressured to.

Really, tips are a reward for going above and beyond.

Are you starting to notice my “underpromise and overdeliver” theme?

All that said, some people will try to get you to do work before an order. Ideally, you have some sort of basic Gig package that you can suggest for them they buy, even if it’s not an exact match for the help someone wants.

If they’re pushing for an answer to a complicated question, you can direct them there and say you’re happy to spend your time answering their questions if they want to buy that Gig.

My SEO Gig, specifically the Basic package, is a good example of what I recommend to clients who are asking me to investigate SEO questions they have.

Another way to limit the time you spend with a prospect before they become a client is to use quick response templates.

A few of my follow up templates include:

• A general invitation to ask questions
• Language for communicating specifics around certain Gigs
• Shortlinks to samples of finished work on Google Drive

On a related note, know your pricing specifics off the top of your head (or with an easily referenceable document) because people, inevitably, will ignore what it says on your Gig and ask you for details via direct message.

Since your response rate is an important metric, you’ll want to know your pricing well enough to quote orders even when you’re not at your computer and are responding on your phone.

Knowing your pricing is also important because people will ask for custom scenarios and you want to be able to accommodate them — especially because custom packages usually mean higher price points.

That said, if someone is requesting a custom order that more or less fits the scope of one of your existing packages, don’t hesitate to direct them to order that way.

Here’s another important housekeeping tip:

Use vacation mode whenever you have reason to believe you won’t be able to take on new orders, especially if you have Gigs with one-day turnaround options.

You don’t want to be put in a situation where you disappoint someone who needs something tomorrow, then have your metrics suffer as a result of not being able to accommodate the order.

For more insights regarding the importance of user metrics and how to keep them high, jump to the section of this article titled “The importance of metrics for levelling up on Fiverr“.

I asked PR Manager Holly Steffy for Fiverr’s tips for client communication best practices and here’s what she said:

• It’s crucial for Fiverr freelancers to practice transparency and provide as much information as possible to the buyer on what they can deliver, the expected timeline, and provide which dates on when they will be reaching out to the customer, and breakdown of the overall price.
• Regular communication between the seller and buyer throughout the entire process is key. Sellers should provide regular updates on the status of the project.
• Buyers aren’t the experts on the subject matter, sellers are! So sellers should make sure they are breaking down the language into layman’s terms so it’s easy for the buyer to understand.
• Sellers should always be proactive and should never leave a client wondering where they stand with their order. Every message should be a call to action. “Shall I send you a custom offer? How does that sound? What do you think about XYZ?”

These are all solid tips in my experience. Especially that last one — it’ll be hard to convert the people who message you into buyers without a specific plan of action.

One last tip for dealing with customers:

Some buyers are jerks and will keep requesting modifications after you deliver an order, claiming that it’s not what they want, until you give in and let them cancel it — refunding their money from your account.

I’m sorry to be the one to break it to you but in most cases, you’ll save a lot of time by just giving in. Even if you fully stand by the work you created.

Trust me when I say that it’s just not worth the fight, especially over a small order value. At this point in time, Fiverr cares more about the customer than they care about you — and they probably always will.

How Fiverr can create a better seller experience

If you’ve made it this far, you know that overall, I’m very happy with my experience as a seller on Fiverr. But you also know that I have a few bones to pick.

Although Fiverr has made many improvements since their early days of Gigs that had to start at $5, they still have some work to do to create an ideal seller experience.

Here are my suggestions:

• Don’t take a percentage of tips. If I’m overdelivering for a client, I should keep the extra money I make. This overdelivering also helps to create a loyal Fiverr customer who buys more Gigs from other sellers — that’s enough of a benefit to Fiverr on top of the service fees they’ve already collected from me and the client.

• Measure delivery time in business days. I often get orders with a due date on weekends or holidays. There are no safeguards from this besides setting reminders, then manually setting your Out of Office during these timeframes (orders could still come through for those due dates before setting your Out of Office, though). I don’t think I’m alone in wanting to maintain a decent work/life balance — not arbitrarily being forced to work on weekends or holidays.

• Take the buyer’s side publicly but compensate the seller if they’re technically in the right. Look, I don’t care what you have to tell a buyer who reaches out to Customer Support to get them to stop complaining. But don’t screw me over to make someone happy who’s technically in the wrong about their complaint. If you take 20% of each order I sell, there must be enough of a buffer to account for the occasional bad client scenario — especially for sellers who’ve paid their dues and have seniority on the platform.

• Manually review for every seller level. I’ve pointed out some issues with Fiverr’s seller levels algorithm in this article that an automated process can’t always account for. I think that sellers should at least have the option to request a manual review when applicable, offering their own evidence for why their level shouldn’t be downgraded.

• Don’t automatically create one star reviews for late orders that get cancelled. By all means, give the buyer the option to do so (up to suggesting a one star review for having to deal with the bad experience) but it seems unfair to deploy this rating automatically, based on its impact on your level maintenance.

• Fix mobile application issues. My inbox messages and notifications don’t completely match what I see on the desktop website, which means I sometimes miss important communications if I’m working out of pocket that day. As a result, metrics are negatively impacted for no reason other than technology problems.

Using Fiverr as a buyer to outsource business tasks

Besides using Fiverr as a seller, I highly recommend trying it out as a buyer.

Doing this will help to inform the experience you’re providing to your own customers. It might even be a good idea to buy Gigs that are similar to the ones you offer, to get a better understanding for the competition in terms of how they merchandise their Gig, what their deliverables look like, and how they communicate throughout the process.

But you should also consider using Fiverr to outsource business tasks that you neither want to deal with nor have the experience to execute well.

Personally, I’ve used Fiverr for basic graphic design needs, help with specific WordPress fixes I don’t want to deal with, and help setting up Mailchimp.

It’s worth noting that you can use the balance you’ve accrued from completing Gigs to pay for other Gigs without a service fee.

Final thoughts on how to make $2-3k every month with a Fiverr side hustle

If you’re serious about learning how to make money on Fiverr, this checklist, mirroring my own approach, will help you cover your bases and set you up for success:

• Sign up as a Fiverr Seller
• Brainstorm the Gigs you want to set up
• Create a compelling Fiverr profile
• Research how the competition is setting up their Gigs
• Take a first attempt at setting up a Gig, then ask someone in your industry to review it and point out anything that isn’t clear or compelling
• Refine your initial attempt at setting up a Gig with representative imagery, a clear title, a keyword-rich description, relevant search tags, and a helpful FAQ
• Set Gig requirements that aim to get all relevant information from the buyer to limit the need for revisions
• Acknowledge every incoming order, if only to keep your metrics high
• Set aside a specific time each day to address client communications and to work on Fiverr orders
• Use client feedback to refine Gig messaging (including FAQs), Gig extras, and to launch new Gigs
• Underpromise and overdeliver whenever possible

Regardless of how you find clients, making enough money for your freelance business to thrive doesn’t happen overnight. It probably won’t happen in a year, either. It’s a long game and the only way to find success is to be consistent.

It also doesn’t hurt if you’re constantly exceeding clients’ expectations for you.

Fiverr isn’t so different from other freelance platforms in terms of how you need to represent your skills to get clients. The metrics that determine your seller level provide useful guidance around how to be a good communicator with clients — even outside of the platform. Keeping any client happy means responding in a timely manner, completing all the orders you take on, and delivering on time.

Fiverr isn’t perfect — it’s still finding itself and determining the type of company it wants to be. But I think that Fiverr has made massive strides forward from their initial days as the platform deplored for its insistence on Gigs starting at $5.

Today, I feel like they’re team partners with me to both of our mutual success.

Fiverr employees, including those who work for Fiverr’s sister brands (And.co and Veed.me), regularly purchase my full price Gigs (often my $400 blog writing package) and are a dream to work with. When the Fiverr team needs help with a project, they start with their own marketplace and reward sellers who demonstrate professionalism and produce high-quality deliverables.

The longer you stay consistent on Fiverr, the more opportunities that will open up for you. Once you understand the system, it will be easier to navigate and you’ll have a better understanding of how to make money on Fiverr.

But I’m not the only one who’s created a successful side gig with this freelance marketplace. Tell me: how have you made good money on Fiverr? Or if you’re just getting started, what other questions do you have about navigating this platform?
