Anyone can easily make money on Fiverr if they have one or
two digital skills. Today, thousands of Freelancers all over the world are
making six figure incomes online from Fiverr. Since its launch in 2010 Fiverr has become a
significant freelance marketplace. Not only did it establish credibility within
a short span of time but it also has emerged as one of the go-to platforms for
the freelancing beginners.
So, can you make money on Fiverr in 2019? Definitely, but
the level of difficulty will vary from service to service. Based on my
experience as a buyer and seller, I truly do believe that there is still space
in the Fiverr market and the tips shared in this post will help you achieve
some great results.
What is Fiverr?
Fiverr is an online platform where users sell their products
and services for at least $5 each. Fiverr brings together buyers and sellers
from all over the globe. Earning five dollars per task may not sound like much,
but those little sales can add up to hundreds of thousands of naira very
quickly if you know what to do.
Regardless of your skill level and experience, there
something you can offer the global market for outsourced services on Fiverr.
The available services range from business promotion, social networking and
advertisement to funny videos, graphic design and translations to mention just
a few. These offered services are called “GIGS” on Fiverr.
How Fiverr Works?
The major concept behind how Fiverr works is similar to
other online marketplace platforms. A service offered on Fiverr is called a
Gig. The service is offered by the Seller (freelancer), and bought by the buyer
(employer), Five dollars is the popular starting price for offers on Fiverr.
Before you are able to buy or sell anything you must first sign up.
On Fiverr, buyers are able to browse and search for Gigs
they wish to buy. When a buyer is ready to make a purchase, they make an order
and then proceed to checkout to pay. All purchases are subject to a processing
fee, Fiverr charges the buyer $2 processing fee on each purchase and 5% on
purchases above $20. Sellers keep 80% of each Gig they sell after they have
successfully completed and delivered the task.
1. Signup on Fiverr
If you want to make money on Fiverr then first step is to sign
up on Fiverr. Only registered users can buy and sell on Fiverr. After
successfully signing up, and confirming your account with a registration link
that will be sent to your email. After this, you will need to create your
seller profile. Your profile is how you present yourself to the community. You
are encouraged to present yourself in a professional manner.
2. Create a Fiverr
Gig
A Gig is a service offered on Fiverr’s website. For example,
a Gig can be something as simple as “I will do a guest post on my business blog
for $5”. Sellers have the option to choose their starting price point. Sellers
can even offer multiple price ranges by using Gig Packages. With Gig Packages,
they can offer buyers different service packages at different prices.
3. Start Getting Paid
After signing up and doing all the necessary account setup
process, you just need to wait for your first order from a customer. To make
this happen faster, try to promote your services where ever you can. Enter some
unique description to attract more customers and use some good images or
videos. Once you get your first order, try to make your first customer as much
happy as you can and do not forget to ask for positive feedback or review.
Tips To Make Money Online
With Fiverr
Why is it that some Fiverr gigs have endless orders queued
up, while other almost identical gigs can go months without getting a single
sale? The answer is visibility. Applying these tips will help you create a
Fiverr business that stands out among the crowd.
1. Great Title and
Descriptions
One of the best tools you can use to improve your chances of
getting noticed and making sales is writing an SEO friendly title and
descriptions for your gigs. A great trick to ensuring you come up with a great
title is to look at the title and descriptions of other high performing gigs in
your Fiverrs category or sub-category.
Do the same for the gig description that you did for the
title. What words appear most frequently among a dozen or more successful
sellers? These sellers aren’t working together, but a meta-analysis will show
that they all have some things in common. There’s a reason for this.
2. Good Customer
Reviews:
Good reviews build confidence and make clients more likely
to buy. From my experience, around 60% of clients who order on Fiverr will
leave a review, so you can almost double the number of reviews to get a rough
idea of how many orders a specific gig has amassed.
Do everything possible to take care of your clients and earn
their 100% positive, five-star reviews, and don’t start buying or creating fake
reviews. It also makes sense to follow-up with customers after the order is
delivered so as to build a good customer relationship.
3. Fast Order
Delivery
Fiverr loves fast delivery. Delivery time is one of the
factors that affect Fiverr’s internal search ranking. If you want your gig to
be ranked high among all sellers by the level of quality as judged by Fiverr’s
ranking algorithm, then you should strive to deliver as fast as reasonably possible.
Depending on what you’re offering, you can set a minimum
delivery time of 2 days to give yourself some wiggle room for when you’re sick
or just having a really bad day. You can also choose whether or not you’re
going to offer extra-fast delivery for an extra fee.
4. Be Nice and Polite
Customer service is really important. Communicate quickly
and be charming. You have to make them feel special and important, because the
truth is, they are: your livelihood of Fiverr depends on positive reviews and
repeat clients.
Even when you’re in a rush, using polite language like
please and thank you will help your buyer feel valued. It will also encourage
buyers to use the same type of language when addressing you. There are a time
and place for telling bad clients to jump off a cliff, but that should be an
absolute last resort.
Conclusion:
The number 1 rule of selling on Fiverr is simple: Be awesome
and deliver a great product. Every client you meet will want pure awesome-sauce
every time, and if you’re not giving that, they’ll go somewhere else. There’s
plenty of room for mediocre sellers on Fiverr, but if you want to stand out
from the crowd, you need to be real, really good at what you do.
And finally, always remember that Fiverr is a means to an
end, not an end in itself. For your sales to be consistent, you still have to
do your own advertising. If you’re a writer, start a blog and use it to promote
your Fiverr page. If you don’t like to write and enjoy speaking, start a
podcast.
Good luck!
