Results of Fiverr unique article gigs?

15 replies
What are your experiences with them? Good, bad? Of course they won't be written by any famous authors, but they claim to be unique and in many cases offer multiple for the $5 cost.

    I think with Fiverr, your best bet is to go with the highest rated gigs.

    Sometimes this is a problem if the person has like 20 orders in the queue, but not all of them will.

    I think it's gonna just be hit or miss- some will provide tons of value (because they don't want to look other places to market their service), others will be horrible.

    I wrote some high quality articles through Fiverr once- but when I realized how little I was getting paid for my time, I stopped after just one gig

    When I started copywriting, I did some Fiverr articles, and I made good and unique articles there. However, since I still have people emailing me for work, although I took my Fiverr listing down about a year ago, it seems that good writers are a rarity.

    However, I have never ordered from them, because I can do most of my own writing.

    Depends on what you need. Do you need them to be uniquem or do you need unique plus high-quality? You probably will not find high-quality articles there, at least for the ones who are offering multiple articles. But, who knows? You might stumble across a gem here and there.

    Look for someone with a very good rating. I offered a writing gig on Fiverr for a very limited time and people were knocking down my door wanting me to do more. Some of my clients stayed with me when I began offering article writing at higher prices on my website. There ARE good writers there, but they typically don't last very long.

    Like anywhere there are good and bad writers. You'll have to order from a few gigs until you find something you like.

    I've used Fiverr but I prefer iWriter. The articles are cheaper, though you can choose to pay more. I haven't gotten AMAZING articles, but I have gotten good ones. I usually edit/rewrite them to add more flavor.

    If you want really good articles, you need to be ready to either take the time to write them or pay what they are worth. Otherwise expect a lot of trial and error until you find a good writer. If you do find a good writer on Fiverr, treat them right because once they realize what they are worth, they are likely to go off searching for higher paying clients!

    And some say they aren't able to go out Ezines, Hubpages, or Squidoo, as in they won't be accepted... but they are copyscape passed and unique. Hm?

      That normally means they either aren't going to pass copyscape or the grammar isn't good enough for them to be accepted.

        Honestly? I've found it to be mostly trash. The good ones are on there for a little bit, and then they realize they are being severely underpaid.

        Since they are making so little they are always going to look for either a shortcut or rush through everything.

        • I used to buy articles on Fiverr for my blog. Usually they'd have to be punched up with jokes and edited pretty heavily but I expected that. I did get a few unsalvageable ones.

          It's all about what you expect, though. If you just want 20 keyworded articles for your MFA site, that's different from a brilliantly written and entertaining piece worthy of William F Buckley.

          I'm all for writers charging whatever they believe their product is worth. I lasted all of 6 gigs on Fiverr before I realized this was not the way I wanted to spend my time, churning out 300 words of crud about counterfeit handbags. I think someone would have to offer me at least $125 to write an article now -- not that I'm looking to do that work. I'm busy writing for my own blogs.

    You can find writers to create unique articles on fiverr. I would check for 100% ratings, but don't be put off if they don't have a zillion orders. Most quality writers use fiverr until they land higher paying gigs. Fiverr and similar services also serve as filler work. I have placed ads to write articles and am published many times over in the print world. Now that my PLR site is up, I no longer need to rely on their platform. You can luck up and find writer for the short term. Good luck!

    I prefer using article writers here on the forum. Those on Fiverr are mostly trash, copied and rewritten articles from God knows where.
