How to make ends meet with Fiverr

While not exactly making $3,000 a month with Fiverr alone online – you could make free money without money –  Fiverr’s in its own words: Is a place where people are willing to do all kinds of things for $5.

In my own findings – the world of Fiverr is a burgeoning market, bustling with the most fun, interesting, outrageously redefined ideas – and at the same time a profitable concept that shouldn’t be kept under-thought.



Fiverr is an intuitive marketplace for anyone to offer virtually any kind of service you can possibly think about for $5. It’s more than just an ordinary Freelancer , Guru or the very popular Elance – sites where people turn to for looking for other people that can do certain tasks for them . . .

Fiverr is that – and a whole lot more. It’s a place where you can outsource all of your very tedious tasks – for just $5.

So why would you want to go elsewhere where the same service could cost you $50 to do?

There are many people posting blog and seo-related services like blog commenting and doing profile backlink blasts (normally 3000, 5000 and sometimes 7000 backlinks) for just $5. That kind of service would be related to my own website and niche, off course – but there are thousands of other niches. On the contrary, there are more services than just everything under the sun: There are things people would do for $5 that paves forward new markets and unthought-of ideas – they are all there.

The hilarious gigs (services) on its own turn should not to be mistaken about or taken lightly. Who would think about a service where people state: I will write your name on my forehead for 10 hours and record it – for $5. Or: I will write your name on a grain of rice and it to you in beautifully wrapped paper via post – for $5?

All kinds of gigs available on Fiverr like this one: Inking your name on a grain of rice for $5!

I have also once stumbled upon a student that would like to graduate in art, who offered his service that he’ll do a HAND sketch of your face from a photo and upload it in high resolution for $5?

All these ideas, at the end of the day, are a balanced, sustainable and reliable way to make money.  But most of the time, Fiverr, and the concept of it itself, aid as the answer to an urgent call of just making ends meet for aplenty on its site.

Take the art student as an example. He could’ve advertised in a local newspaper that he offers such services to do sketches. He would’ve needed to pay the newspaper for the classified ad – and not nearly reached a satisfactory amount of buyers or interested people.

Instead he joined Fiverr.com and immediately posted what he’s good at doing for free – while his gig(s) are indexed in Google and other search engines within an hour – morphing the way for possibly thousands to immediately see this service – and at just $5 – could instantly decide to order it.

If this student succeeds at successfully completing at least 10 orders a day the money actually cold help him out a lot.

Starting to make money utilizing this existing site instead of having one of your own COULD help you out immediately. It’s not going to cost you one bit – and if you join them right now you might even get your order within the first hour or two.

But looking at Fiverr at a more serious perspective taken into account all factors:

What do you have to offer people to start a gig of you own over there? Is it something that is already over saturated already or is it something that still have a space left for you?

If you have something quite naturally defined – either it’s going to be something very hilarious (people like those kind of gigs and will instantly order a lot from you) or it’s going to be something that’s going to save them endless of time.

You need to choose between those two. Hilarious service might take a strain off you and it’s not really going to be a sustainable way for yourself to benefit out of it. Take the ‘grain of rice’-example. That person will need money to get rice, perhaps a special pen to write someone’s name on it – and lastly the paper that the rice is being wrapped in – not to mention the posting costs involved!

You will sure get a load of orders from that – but it might be more time consuming than benefiting you anything financially.

If you are able to perform a service where you can take tons of hours off others’ shoulders – you are obviously only going to get that right with software.

For example: do you perhaps have software that could post 50,000 advertisements on free classified sites with just a flick or a button?

People are going to fall in love with you. And surely they might even write about you. Recommending your service to their friends.

Do you have software like Adobe Photoshop and you know a lot of doing remarkable things with it?

You’ll be loved by the masses. And because of it being software – you’ll not spend any money to come up with what you can, right?

Do you perhaps have a software product that can post 1000’s of backlinks to whois and stats websites? That will help many new websites to get indexed within hours – what about an auto profile blaster software that puts links on 1000’s of different profile pages with just a few buttons that you enter?

There tons of software on the market that would surely save a lot of people’s time – but not everyone could afford them.

If you can buy it for $150 or $300 once off – you would surely be able to rake in thousands of dollars over a period of time. And that’s not joking. That’s called logic.

But while Fiverr.com isn’t exactly entirely free – it does give you total free access to make money. Fiverr only claims 20% of the money you make (in other words they always deduct $1 from every $5 you make) – but who would want to moan about that?

So go ahead and join this revolution at Fiverr.com. Who knows. Maybe you’ll make more money than people who’s been in it for longer than you.
