Tips on How You Can Make Money on Fiverr

Fiverr is an excellent way to make money from home. Even if you don’t think you have a skill, you can make money on Fiverr with some effort and research. I love Fiverr and I recommend it to everyone to try. In this article, you will learn more about what Fiverr is, how it works, how you can choose a skill and publish it, and tips on how you can increase your orders.

What is Fiverr?

Fiverr is a freelance marketplace that started in 2010. It offers many diverse jobs and services, such as voice-overs, graphic design, and website help like SEO.

Fun fact: The name “Fiverr” comes from the original price of gigs or jobs at just five dollars per task.

How Does Fiverr Work?

To start selling your skill, you list a job posting called a gig that clients can buy without having to contact you first. So when a person goes to Fiverr.com and types in “eBay banner design”. They click on the first gig (my gig! 🥳). They look through my three package options, and after choosing one, they purchase it. I get the notification and get to designing.

To better understand how Fiverr works, there are two sides: 

• Sellers: A seller is the one selling their service to earn money. They are freelancers showcasing their skills and services to prospective buyers. A seller lists their services on Fiverr and the price of their packages. Your gig can sell at anytime, so you have to be ready.
• Buyers: A buyer is someone looking to purchase a service on the platform. Buyers can use the search tool to browse seller profiles and find the ones that meet their requirements before placing an order. Buyers hire sellers to accomplish specific tasks.

How to choose your skill

When deciding what service to sell on Fiverr, the best place to get inspiration are the categories on Fiverr. You’ll find lots of different categories and subcategories, and all of them feature multiple gigs. 

Browse through those categories and visit the ones that interest you. Then browse through the individual gigs and take note of everything that looks like something that you could offer.

Write down what you like about each gig in your potential category, what you don’t like, and what you would do to make your gig stand out.

6 Popular categories on Fiverr

1. Graphic Design

If you’re a graphic designer, Fiverr is a great place to sell your services to try and make some extra money. Graphic designers sell anything from business card designs to t-shirt designs. You can sell a gig as low as $5 to as high as $1,000.

2. Website Development

Website development is a high-demand gig right now. A website development gig can earn you between $100 and $2,000.

3. Translation

Can you speak another language? This is very popular because individuals and businesses need help translating documents and projects. You can offer to tutor people in the language and even market their products in that language.

4. Copywriting

A copywriter is supposed to be one of the top ten jobs in 2022. Wordsmiths are in high demand on Fiverr, which is what makes copywriting a lucrative gig. As a copywriter, you can review products, write blog posts and website landing pages, or author books. A copywriting gig on Fiverr can go as high as $5,000.

5. Virtual Assistant

Virtual assistance (VA) has become a very popular term in the last couple of years. As a virtual assistant on Fiverr, there is a lot that can be included, such as data entry, emailing potential customers, cold calling, or setting appointments with clients.

6. Social Media Marketing

Social media marketing is among the fastest-growing ventures on Fiverr. You can create content, manage accounts, and more.

Tips To Maximize Sales on Fiverr

Because Fiverr is one of the largest online marketplaces for freelancers, competition is very stiff. Here are some of the things you can do to maximize your sales on Fiverr.

Make Your Profile Stand Out

Your profile should be descriptive and detailed enough to keep buyers from guessing. You can make your profile outstanding by uploading a professional photo or video detailing your services.

Optimize Your Profile and Gigs

Your gig’s going to compete against thousands of other gigs on Fiverr, making it hard for buyers to locate you. Using SEO strategies such as user-friendly language and keywords increases your chances of selling more.

Create More Gigs

Fiverr allows you to create a maximum of seven gigs when you first start out. More gigs could mean more sales. I recommend creating as many gigs as you can. This can also show you what is more popular.

Strive for 5-Star Ratings

Consistently deliver high-quality services to earn good ratings from buyers. Feedback and reviews will not only maintain your reputation on Fiverr but also help your gigs rank higher.

Utilize Gig Extras

Making use of gig extras will enable you to attract and retain more buyers and upsell your gigs. Gig extras can take the form of faster delivery, unlimited revisions, and many more options.
