Fiverr – How to Use It + Tips

Posted by Brad on July 6th, 2011

Using Fiverr to Make Money Online

In the past year and a half the website known as Fiverr has become massively popular and is a FANTASTIC way to build an extra income stream for yourself. I was a bit skeptical about using this site when I first found out about it but now I wouldn’t live without it. If done right you can easily squeeze a couple hundred bucks a month out of this site (possibly much more depending on your efforts).

One of the best things about Fiverr is that you don’t need a website to use it. Fiverr allows you to post “gigs” that you will do for $5. Granted, you only get $4 because Fiverr takes $1 of every sale, but believe me IT ADDS UP QUICK.  These are usually online things such as writing a blog post for a webmaster, building backlinks for websites, doing simple graphic design, Tweeting messages to your Twitter followers, doing video reviews of products/services/websites and various other tasks.

Does that mean you can’t participate if you don’t know how to do anything online? NO! Many Fiverr sellers also make a good bit of cash doing easy things like singing Happy Birthday on video, creating cheap clothing/accessories such as T-shirts and earrings to ship to buyers and other cool, simple things. The trick is to do something unique and creative, kind of like what THIS GUY does. He speaks messages in any cartoon character voice and it’s a VERY popular service. Use your own unique talents to come up with something different and catchy and you’ll find yourself swamped with orders.

Tips for Making the Best of Fiverr

  1. Be Creative
  2. Be Professional
  3. ALWAYS Attach a Video Describing Your Service
  4. Promote Your Gig on Your Facebook/Twitter Accounts
  5. Be Timely (get stuff done ON TIME)
  6. Be Generous (give a little extra in each gig than what you post, this creates a TON of positive reviews and regular customers for your gigs)
  7. Be Articulate and Friendly

    Make sure you take every step to promote your gig. You have to use a unique video to make it attractive and then Tweet it, share it and “like” it on Facebook. Even take it a step further and find blog posts about Fiverr and leave a meaningful comment about your gig and how it can help a website owner.
