What is Fiverr?
Fiverr is an
American and international platform on which you can sell small online
services. The principle is to charge $5 for a "gig". A gig is an
action that the seller will agree to do for $5. It can be a text, a drawing, a
logo... You can post the service you are ready to offer for 5 dollars the more customers you make, the more
expensive you sell yourself.
On Fiverr
contributors are accepted from all over the world and the language should not
be limiting. Are you a writer, transcriber, musician, graphic designer,
translator or can you sing? Think about what you can offer for $5 or a little
less ($4), and don't forget to think about the percentage that goes to the
platform.
Let's keep
in mind here, that we can only offer really basic services at the price of $5.
However, it is possible to earn more by offering extras such as speed of
delivery, improved quality, etc. This leads to the assertion that the offer is
not blocked at 5 dollars, it can evolve with your expertise on Fiverr and the
list of contacts you will make there.
The most
frequent criticism of Fiverr concerns its payment term. Indeed, it takes 14
days after the delivery of the finished work to receive its earnings. They pay
by PayPal. They also pay directly on your Mastercard if you are the holder of
the Mastercard Payoneer which you get for free by registering here. Payoneer is a good alternative for
freelancers residing in countries that often have difficulty with PayPal.
The site is in English, which can give the impression
of being a barrier for non-English speakers to present their services and
benefit from the opportunity of remuneration offered, quite the contrary! Since
we can play on the whimsical side of the Fiverr offers and present for example
a performance by a French-speaking type:
. I will translate your love letter into French
. I'm going to draw your face with a legend in French
. I will promote your website and get France seo

Play on your cultural identity in addition to your
creative side. Yes, it is possible on Fiverr. Sing in front of a monument or on
a site typical of your city. Or take a unique picture of a particular place in
your region and send it... as long as the service is dematerialized and does
not go against Fiverr's CGU, offer it and win at least 4 dollars!
A little advice regarding your proposal for a service
on Fiverr: it is important to think before the first offer, how long it will
take to complete the service so as not to feel frustrated by inadequate
remuneration. It is also necessary to check the categories in order to focus
your offers on those with higher demand.
but in concrete terms, what kinds of performances can
we concretely submit on Fiverr?
To answer this question, let's read below a list of
what we can offer for sale as a micro-service in exchange for a micro-payment
on Fiverr.
What can we sell to make money on Fiverr?
When it
comes to offering a $5 service, it is obvious to have some skills, it is not
always easy to quickly find what you can offer on Fiverr.
Let's examine some offers:
"I'm going to write your message on my body and
run through the jungle."
"I'll tell you what he thinks of you."
"I'm going to make him/her fall in love with
you."
"I'll do anything for you to….."
Extreme??? No, it's real and concrete on Fiverr. And these atypical gigs are a
huge success on the platform. But for the more classic, here is a list of the
kind of offers to make on Fiverr:
- Transcribing audio files
- Translate texts
- Make interpretations
- Designing websites
- Designing video ads
- Design book covers
- Designing banners
- Designing business cards
- Designing logos
- Designing PDF files
- Designing music for others
- Turning photos into paintings
- Provide advice on a particular subject
- Sing songs in video or audio
- Create music
- Help with homework
- Writing songs
- Doing research
- Writing web articles
- Write letters/e-mails
- Write cover letters and CVs
- Write product sheets
- Etc.
Ok all that is fine but, knowing which performance to
present is enough to have a minimum of success on Fiverr?
Yes, but that is not enough.
The process to follow to
successfully attract customers to Fiverr
After finding the gig to propose on Fiverr, you have
to:
1 - Invest in the extras.
What Fiverr allows is to add "Extras". So,
you do an action that can be done in 1 minute for $5, for example, a 4-line
comment on a site, and for $10 more, you write a more elaborate comment, for
$50 the "pack" 1 comment, 1 sharing on your networks, 1 press
release... The list of extras you can imagine is long. All you have to do is adapt
the request to the time you want to spend on the task.
Or for graphic designers, a simple logo in jpg,
already designed and for which you simply modify the text. Add an extra $10 to
send in 24 hours, $10 to send the png and psd file. $50 for an improved logo
with png, psd and an additional drawing, etc...
a graphic designer can easily earn up to $5,000 a
month by producing a logo that he copies and pastes and adapts with text. He
works 3 hours a day and produces about 50 to 80 logos a day.
2 - Take care of your description and Be the best
(it's easy).
Do what none of them do. Put your real picture, with
your first name, a careful description and examples of texts in portfolio. Yes,
some texts captured images can easily be put in Portfolio.
Show everything you know to do: links to blog
articles, press releases, product descriptions...
3 - Be unique.
Offer your slogan creation, targeted e-mailing or
sales page services online. Again, use the extra system... For a basic slogan (which
requires 30 seconds of reflection) $5, for a premium slogan, $20, for a premium
slogan + 5-line catchphrase, $50..,and other extra offers for easy more money.
4 - Offer an original and useful service.
- Write a newsletter. Offer a $5 welcome email service
(almost always the same) and a premium follow-up email service. Create in
advance good emails to send to a mailing list for 1 month, 6 months... and sell
it many times. In any case, customers will inevitably retouch them in their own
way. And if they ask you for a series of personalized emails, don't worry, you
just have an Ultra-premium service...
- Write an e-book, and simply sell it, in the form of
"45 pages of advice on..." "List of..." "Tutorial
for...". Have it translated into a French Have it translated into
German-Swiss, and seduce a readership that has never translated anything for
them.
- Write poems or songs. It's funny and it works, and
you can make more easy money.
I think I'm done with the few tips to know to sell
efficiently and earn extra money on Fiverr. Thank you for your attention
