Starting with Fiverr

1. Create an account on Fiverr
2. Fill out ALL of the information you can, use a picture of yourself (don’t use pictures of others or pictures of random objects like puppies or cats although I do love puppies!).
3. Create some gigs, this is extremely important since this is how people will make orders from you. Brainstorm 3-5 things that you think you can do in about 10-30 minutes time (eg. I will proofread 1000 words, I will write a 250-word article, I will draw you as a cartoon, etc.). Once you have compiled a list, search Fiverr for the things on your list to see if someone else is already doing it. Click on some of the related gigs and take a look at what they are doing, how much they are charging, and what their gig description looks like. Now use what you’ve learned to create as many gigs as you can on your account. Make sure you upload relevant images for your gig and classify it in the right section.
4. Now that you have gigs set up, we can ignore them and move onto the important part. Fiverr has a section called BUYER REQUESTS, this is a section with a list of thousands of jobs that people need done by fellow Fiverr-ers (is that a thing?), and usually they put their budget for people to bid on. I know we’re trying to make money but before that can happen, we need to get you some reviews. Go and bid on jobs that you can do (if you can’t but it looks like an easy job, search Google for how you can do it and teach yourself if you have time). You may find that some of the jobs will require an hour or two of work but the person wants it done for $5, if you can do it, still do it. The reason for this is that we’re going to try to get 10 orders and reviews ASAP so that we can get promoted to a Level 1 seller. When you submit your order, make sure you ask in a polite way for 5-star feedback or a way to make the order better so the buyer will leave 5-star feedback.
5. Keep sending out bids every day until you hit your cap. Almost 100% of your money will come from this section for now since people still don’t know you. If you keep doing this, you should hit Level 2 in about 1-3 months and hopefully will have made between $500-1000 which isn’t really a lot of money for the time you invested but bear with me here.
6. Once you hit level 2, you’ll have between 20-100 reviews since not everyone who purchased from you will have left a review. Now at this point, you should have had one or two gigs which have been making sales (from buyer requests). Now take a look at level 2 sellers who are selling the same thing and look at their prices. Since you are now level 2 as well, you can start pricing your gigs to match theirs. Yes, you may lose a lot of sales but think about it like this, would you rather have 10 orders a day which will get you $50 a day but requires 10 times the work or 1 order a day which gets you $250 and minimal work?
7. At this point, since you’ll have lots more available time, head into the Fiverr forums and start helping others since you should be an expert at this point. Why visit the forums? It’s an excellent place to learn new tips and you never know how helping others will come back to you

Make your gigs short and sharp

Put up only gigs that are very easy for you to do. A task that will take an hour to do is definitely not worth the effort and time you will put into it.  Check out the best gigs on Fiverr; they are usually tasks that can be done within a few minutes. This is one thing that you have to know if you want to make money on Fiverr.

The best types of services

Video Testimonial
Video testimonials are used all over the web and there is a high demand for them from business owners. The best thing about this type of side gig is that all you need to do it is your mobile phone!

2. Proofreading
How many times have you proofread your own writing, only to spot a mistake after publishing? That is why proofreading is a very essential and popular service to offer and if you have a good reputation you will be in high demand.

3. Transcription Service
Podcasts and videos are becoming more and more popular as time goes by and having these videos transcribed into the text is mega important.

4. Document Conversion
Right now Kindles are hot. But many writers struggle to convert their content into a  Kindle-friendly format. This is something that you can take advantage of.

5. Video Compression
Big video files result in slower transfers and slower websites. Many people either don’t know how to make these videos smaller without losing quality.

6. Writing Reviews
Reviews really are the bread and butter for any site. Whether it be products, apps, books or services that are being reviewed, they are mega important.

7. Niche Specific Writing
Content writing is a great way to get started because it costs nothing to set up – just your time. Rather than just posting a general writing gig, you should offer something more specific that you are interested in.

8. Create Social Media Pages
What a lot of new thriving business’ lack, is the time to set up social media pages correctly. That is where you come in!

9. Resume Writing
With the rate of unemployment higher than ever before there are loads of people looking for help to make themselves stand out from the crowd when applying for jobs.

10. Powerpoint Presentations

Make it easy for people to know you

Put up a few ads so that buyers can easily see what you are offering. You can edit your ads later if you do not get a lot of views. If you work fast and deliver quality work, you will be included in featured gigs and this will help more people to know you. You will make money on Fiverr very easily if you have a positive rating. You might get a bad feedback once in a while but this will not affect your rating if most of your completed gigs are rated positively.

When you make money on Fiverr, you will get $4 out of every $5 that you make. The remaining $1 goes to the website. The money will be paid into your PayPal account after the transaction has been cleared. Most of the time, it takes about two weeks before the money is ready for withdrawal. You can make more money on Fiverr by offering incentives such as freebies and bonuses. For instance, you can offer one free gig for every five that a buyer buys.
