Fiverr.. I am losing $1 a gig - where did I go wrong

Hi folks

As a newbie I thought I would give fiverr a go it looks simple enough. Anyhow I posted a gig and it is proving to be very popular. The only trouble is fiverr takes $1 from me and then I go and outsource the work to someone else for $5's so I am down $1 on every gig I sell.

So where did I go wrong?

Well no where really I set it up like that on purpose. Yes that's right, you see when I deliver the gig they get a great pdf file offering a couple of services related to the gig they buy.

1 in 3 of my buyers so far have opted for the $9 a month service. This service is also outsourced out but in this case I make a profit of $4 a month from each buyer.

I have even made a few sales on a service for a $19 offer which gives me $9 profit each time

So I hope this gives you few ideas and gets your creative juices flowing. Do some research and you'll find it fairly easy to set up.

One piece of advice though. Before you outsource any work on gigs you sell try the person you are outsourcing to yourself first to make sure they deliver then build a relationship with them.

All you need to do then is to pass your orders over and then send them to your buyers with some really good offers.
