decided to try out fiverr...quick success!

Not if it takes you 2 seconds to fill an order, like an ebook. Obviously it's more a side gig.

totally agree, whereas in the uk due to the exchange rate its more like £2.50 pence!!NOT ALOT plus thats below the national minimum wage by at least 80%!!!

however you can make Fiverr work in your favour, the way to work it is to put up loads of gigs, you can do 20 max per account, make sure its something that wont take too much time to do, say about 5 mins max otherwise you will be on less than minimum wage.

The more gigs you have, the more chances you have of someone ordering your gig........if you have one gig, the chances of that being seen is significantly less.

To increase your chance of getting a sale, you can also tweet it or post it on facebook, there is now a button on the gigs so all you have to do it press it and the links are done for you.

now this is the important part, as OP said, Fiverr is never going to pay the bills, i mainly use it for paying the hosting fees and other small change bills, however the golden nugget is in the buyer. Every time i have a sale i make sure that i deliver on time and fast, that way it will make you out as a good seller, but the key here is to then sell them other services outside of Fiverr.

Now it is against Fiverr's TOC to leave contact details so what you do is you send them a txt file with your details i.e. contact number, website address etc and what you can offer more ,for example i send them a txt file with a link to my web address offering them web site building services. Most buyers are not internet marketers, and once they've bought your gig they have already have their wallet open so they would be more than willing to hear what you have got on offer. The worst that can happen is they say not interested.

Another important point is to always ask for feedback once you have delivered the gig. This is important as it will not only increases your sales potential, but also give you top seller status once you reach a certain point. Most gigs offered are the same on Fiverr, to stand out and make that sale a buyer would look at feedback to give him/her reassurance that you are a good seller......take for example an identical gig from 2 different sellers, one has no feedback and the other has 20.....which one would you go for? Feedback is vital to having a successful gig and more sales on Fiverr, so make sure you ask for it!

These are my tips for being a successful Fiverr seller and are based on my current experiences which im glad to say has netted me quite a few good clients. Fiverr can make you $$$$$ a month, but not from just selling gigs, the real money is in the services offered outside of it and your job is to offer it to them once the buyer has taken a bite on your gig!

Hope that helps

Just make sure you follow their terms...just like any other program.
