    Definitely mate. Fiverr is pretty useful - I was proper skint and done some articles and such for a few guys, made myself some decent weekend money.

    Put it this way I was bringing in £35 a week from my part-time job in a store. I could bring that in from a day on Fiverr.

      £35 in a week? That's not worth it... For £35 you'll only get a cheese here in Norway...

      eh... voice of reason?

      $200 a day on Fiverr is 50 gigs a day completed. If you work 10 hour days, that leaves you 12 minutes per gig, including all correspondence which will take up about 2 minutes per gig.

      So, you need a service that you can complete in 10 minutes or less, and sustain 10 hours per day, 5 days per week. Sounds brutal.

      Creating enough gigs that are popular enough to sustain that many orders day in and day out will be a real challenge also.

      That said, there are ways to upsell, take advantage of affiliate linking and funnel customers into off Fiverr work that can most definitely result in a $200-a-day-plus business. It will take time and effort to set up though, it's not a toss a few gigs on Fiverr and start rolling in the bucks thing.

        Completely true!

        If you're looking for a true, and informative answer this is it.

        You can't achieve $200 per day by just doing Fiverr gigs, that's insane. But you can achieve that by creating upsells and a business outside of Fiverr after order. Make sure your quality on Fiverr is great and later, if customers like your service, they'll purchase more expensive and serious services that you have to offer.

    That is one thing that I haven't understood about Fiverr - the low price. Do people do a few gigs as lead generation? Converting those customers over to higher priced services outside of Fiverr?

      Pretty much what I do on there.

      I'm using it less lately, in order to focus on other things, but I have several gigs I can complete in under 4 minutes each which gives me an effective hourly rate, after Fiverr takes their cut and PayPal snips it a little more, of around $60 per hour. Keep in mind it just comes here and there though.

      The key is to really over deliver on a fast easy gig, so the customer either:

      1) Buys more of your gigs (repeats, offer them)
      2) Sends people to your gig (referrals, ask for them)
      3) Buys from the affiliate links you kindly provide (or links to your other products) (upsells, expect them)
      4) Requests additional work off of Fiverr (gig as loss leader)

      Have to be careful how you do it to comply with TOS as you don't want to lose your profitable gigs.

      My per customer value is WAY over what I get paid on Fiverr.

      Oh yeah, list building from Fiverr, site traffic from Fiverr... it goes on, and on.

      Fiverr is a loss leader for a lot of people, but under regular circumstances $4 is quite a handsome sum for people in certain parts of the world.

      Well there are many things which some people can do in 5-10 minutes.

      If I can find a popular stuff which I can do and has a lot of demand but less supply, then even if I do 5 gigs a day, I will earn $20 everyday, which means $600 extra cash every month.

      And in some parts of the world, even $600 is way too much of a money.

      Yes, I do! For U.S. fiverr is best for lead generation and upsell. Some folks get fussy and down-right appalled at it, but I'm more appalled at the $5 they expect to get the world for!

    I think $200 daily is hard to achieve with fiverr but it is doable if you provider many gigs and have some good reviews .

    I can answer that, and the answer is yes they will try, I need analytics code inserted in four HTML sites and I don't know HTML, I had guy asking for four gigs to do it, but I had one guy say 5 buck for all four, wait a day until you get some more replies to what you want unless you are in a hurry, for me it was worth waiting for the extra replies that came in.

    normally people makin more than $200 / day have something to sell which comes under advertising category since those advertising services costs more outside fiverr.

    Dont think it is possble just by creating a single fiverr account.

    Fiverr.com has been the greatest thing to hit the internet marketing world in a long time. No more are the days when you have to spend $50 on other sites for the same services. You can get just about any link building or marketing or even web designing for 5 bucks. Great site!

      Sure, but don't expect quality at that price.

      Fiverr is terrible for people who actually make a living offering different services. It has completely clouded people's price expectations. Why actually spend good money for a service when you can get a similar service from Fiverr? Who cares if it's not even nearly as good? It's only 5 bucks. That hurts a lot of IM'ers who offer legitimate, high quality services.

    Well, I guess it's possible but you will have to offer something unique and with high demand. It's also useful if it doesn't take too much time to prepare.

    Hmmmmm $200 a day is probably only achievable on Fiverr if your gig takes you seconds to complete, this all depends on what you are offering of course!

    Maybe aim low at first and just be happy with any gig orders that you do get. If it's not enough money for you, perhaps try signing up to larger freelance sites where many companies are willing to pay more for various services.

    All the best,
    Elle

      To make the very most of fiverr you need to work outside of fiverr taking advantage of the services people are offering and going elsewhere to sell for more.

      Search down the right side of the fiverr homepage where it shows things that people are looking to have done. Once you spot something and think 'shoot I can do that in a few minutes for a couple bucks' - Then you have your gig! Rinse and repeat 10 times and you're golden.

      One of 2 ways...

      1) Not as profitable but safer
      Throw together a quick gig doing exactly what they're looking for and contact them - You've already got a guaranteed sale. Others may be interested as well ?

      2) Way more profitable, but riskier
      Contact them without even having a gig and direct them to your site/service off fiverr. Be careful with your wording here as per fiverr TOS.

      As far as promoting your gig. Using the right keywords - what would you enter if you were searching for someone to do your gig will get you fiverr traffic. Having a popular gig and also positive feedback will get you more traffic.

        Thanks, so many warriors ignore all but op questions. The latter option I personally wouldn't do because I noticed fiverr doesn't let you delete any messages you have with users!

        I use fiverr a lot for getting posted on other peoples Facebook and for getting reviews for my kindle e-books. The people I choose to work with are the ones that have many good reviews and that give quick turn around.

    After taking $1 out for fiverr and the paypal commissions, you're only getting maybe $3.70. So you'd need roughly 60 gigs a day. I think that would be quite a bit, but if you start building a customer base and make upsells, you can defintiely get up to the $200 a day. Just make sure you have a quality product or service to get them for future sales.

    I think the only way people can achieve this $200 per day with Fiverr is only by selling ebooks as it is a faster way to be done when you get order.

    From the $5 Fiverr will take $1 so it is left $4 for you (which paypal will take their cut too). So that's mean you must make at least 50 sales a day to achieve that.

    Like our warriors said above, what service that you could finish in a very short time and easier to be done? A 20 minutes per service will require you around 17 hours to finish, daily.

    So I think, it is selling ebook that can do that. Your work is to deliver it which will take around 1 or 2 minutes per order.

    From the discussion we can conclude that fiverr is a good option for a lead generation where you can turn your gig buyer to a client but it is not a right platform to earn a reasonable amount of money because it is very tough to do so much gigs in a day
