I have a GREAT idea for a new Fiverr type site

By "clone" I meant clone script to run my own site.

So far the best one I've seen is:

Fiverr Script | Fiverr Clone

If you looking for fiverr clones, here is a list of all of them and in detail :

Fiverr Alternatives: Fiverr Clone Scripts

I wouldn't tell you to go for it or not, I am just going to tell you consider how many competitor you have out there (over 1000 website) and only few counts.

It's easy to set up another Fiverr clone site, the hard part is getting enough users to use your site.

If your idea is hot enough to beat fiverr you need to be looking at a custom solution not just some cookie cutter one. Also you will need to drive traffic to the site and it had better truly be better or that traffic will just leave.

Cloning something does not make money. Anyone can clone something and some hot ideas get made multiple times along the way. But only the best(1 to maybe 5 depending on what it is) will truly survive. The key is what makes your idea amazing.

Facebook beat myspace IMO because myspace allowed the users too much control. myspace pages looked like crap so only the people who liked those crap pages went there. Linkedin stayed relevant because it was trying to be different it was about professional networking not social in the traditional sense. And a lot of the smaller ones service by being a niche in some way.

But if you truly has an idea that is worth doing you need to pitch it to someone you trust with money. You're gonna need money to pull it off and have a shot. Because to get the custom site and to get the traffic you are going to have to pay for them at first.

Waste of time, why don't you try to think of something unique instead of copying it?

You need to stand-out of the crowd and be different.

I haven't run this type of site, but I can imagine that this is not a hands off kind of site to run. Anytime you have a freelance type of site with people paying for and buying services and people posting "gigs", you are going to have a lot of work to do.

From what I see with Fiverr, there are good and bad buyers and sellers. Sellers who offer copyrighted products for one and don't know what buyer problems there are, but there are bound to be plenty of buyers who want refunds, etc.

Make sure you're up for that before you do this.

You go

get the low priced gig seekers and the buyers will come.

critical mass, 1000 listings, from there it may snowball...or not, no way to know for sure, except to try it. Always room for diversity.

I have seen several clones on the internet where you can alter the price of the job, sorry I don't think this is a new idea. I think you really have to put more of a spin on it.

Honestly it would not be a good idea, because people love somethin new. if you are making another fiverr clone so you'll just increase their popularity, and you'll get nothing rather than bill for your hosting and domain and wasting your time

just my two cents IMO

As part of the trimunitive sites in my niche, those who know my name know what it is, I will use a fiverr script script, for part of it.

I am positive that my business model will work, knowing my niche as I do and how those who are in it behave. It is very niche orientated. Other BIG suppliers in this field already have the interactivity of being in the middle of buyer and seller.

I find that some here may be closed minded, but the vast majority give constructive criticism. What one plans, may take more $$ and time than at first thought, but that doesn't automatically mean it won't work. Oh and in my niche, there is ALWAYS reinvention, what's old is new and vice versa.

Nothing is ever a failure... Just part of the learning curve.

To the OP keep on keeping on...

You know, apparently Mark Zuckerberg questioned the Winklevoss twins with "Why would you want to build another Myspace, or Bebo, or Friendster...?"

If you can give it a go without losing your mind and too much money, then I say go for it.

Even if it doesnt work, you might just learn something.

There are always many new and fresh ideas to be added to that type of clones. One have to be creative.

Go for it i am doing the same thing and my target users have nothing to do with fiverr's market segment

Never Give Up!!! Honestly!

I also have an idea for micro-jobs industry and all i could do at this moment was to buy the best two brandable TLDs with all(.dots!) and waiting (trying) to find resources.
Don't give up! and maybe some day well meet

With the job market way it is lots of people looking for everyday work.I Like fiverr idea but how to incorporate into a local job site is hard for me to figure out and make money as most don't have paypal account and they want to not have to wait to get paid too long.Say shovelling snow,cutting grass you know everyday stuff.Any ideas how I can set the fiverr clone to do this.
