Selling PRODUCTS on Fiverr???

So I was wondering, has anyone on here ever had success selling a little product on Fiverr, like a 25 page report or something?

I wouldn't want to sell a real, 100+ page ebook for the $4 Fiverr fee, but I would say $4 is an entirely reasonable price to sell a short report for. Also, it would give you a chance to collect e-mail addresses from people who liked the report.

Anybody here ever try this? If so, what kind of results did you get?

For a 100+ page e-book, I would say for $4 it would be a little under-priced.

I have sold digital "products" before - well, they were very short PDF documents explaining something. I got a bunch of sales, but my "service" gigs used to perform better.

There are even people selling real stuff on Fiverr - you provide them with a shipping adress and they ship for $4 real products.

Thanks

I'd only do a 20-25 page report for a fiverr gig. I could see something like this selling if the report really addresses one big, pressing question that people need answered NOW!

For most of the 100+ page ebooks I've seen over the years, I would say $4 would make it significantly overpriced.

I really don't know how you can make a profit by selling a product on fiverr, unless you offer a lot of gig extras.

Publish a book with 100+ pages, and then even if you have 100 sales thats 400 bucks, no more. BEtter sell it for kindle.

The concept of selling digital products on Fiverr has been around pretty much since the Fiverr first started. You can still call it a service as you are giving a consultation/advice in a written form. I've seen people selling info in a video format as well. You can even set up an autoresponder if you want. But the bottom line is that you really want to come up with a digital product that many people want to know about - and it should be unique and high quality as well if you want to sell well in Fiverr as it is the "feedback" that will make your gig go viral

i don't personally know anyone who has sold ebooks/reports on Fiverr but i have seen other gigs of people i don't know who have had hundreds of sales of their digital products on fiverr.

a member of my coaching forum posted a gig on Fiverr to create a video of herself saying a rhyming poem with your business name in it in Spanish and she made about $1000 worth of sales so thats a lot of purchases at a fiver each. plus she got approached by a buyer in columbia who wanted to outsource all their spanish voiceover work to her at $70 per gig so she had a great result....

I wouldn't judge any report by how many pages it has.

You could easily buy a 200 page fluff report that's not worth anything more than $5.

The value is in the information itself - not the quantity of words.

People sell a lot of digital "products" on my site and do very well. Selling products (ebooks, sofyware, etc) on micro gig sites is very popular and you can make a pretty decent income doing it... Even if you sell PLR products that aren't your own as gigs.

Best,
Shane

Thanks

It`s funny because I was just thinking about doing that! So this thread helped alot. I actually was thinking of making an ebook/free report and than putting it on fiverr. I think it would get at least a few sales and if it doesn`t sell you can just get rid of the gig. This I should try out!

Thanks

I've not made an ebook or product to sell on Fiverr, though I debated on creating a smaller ebook, and then having it lead to a link to a website I'll create that will sell the official ebook with more information, etc. I'm brainstorming on it, but I think it would be a good opportunity to give them great information in a smaller Fiverr gig, promote that gig, and then lead them in the ebook to a website with an ebook or even video course worth more in value to them, for a bit more money that they'll pay you. And if not, at least you still made $5, er, $4.00 for the smaller ebook.

Thanks

I've tried with small reports before but have not personally been as successful as I have been with my article writing gig...still, if there are gigs on Fiverr selling reports or ebooks, then there must be a market for it, right?

I recently made $32 writing well researched SEO articles on Fiverr, they were really good and I was doing basically for feedback. Then I wanted people to sign up for the SEO analysis that is FREE on my website, so I put a Fiverr gig for a SEO analysis and Keyword Research report and Sold one for $5 - so something I offer for free on my website I got someone to pay me $5 for - then today I just sold a QR code for $5 - can you believe it? I said I will make you a QR code and someone bought it - I then went to an online generator for QR codes, downloaded it and uploaded it to Fiverr - that was the easiest $4 I made

I am adding more digital products as we speak. I wouldn't try the QR code because it is saturated now - but just be creative, find new ways to use this service and you can really bank. My buddy just recently made $40,000 on Fiverr by providing an SEO gig, he sold 8000 of them in the last few months, that means after Fiverrs commission , he is getting paid out over $30K - its no joke people. You can make some real money on Fiverr if you are creative, help people to provide real value and over deliver. Those are my 7 cents.

Thanks

From what I've seen on Fiverr myself, I agree that services sell faster than digital products. For instance, gigs related to content creation, SEO analysis, backlinking and getting traffic for your site do sell very fast on Fiverr.

Monkseo, the SEO analysis and Keyword Research Report that your friend uses for his service, is it a free one or did he buy it online?

I have some written products which sell on Fiverr. They are not the best sellers (software and services are the best) but they do get the occasional sale.

To make them more enticing, think hard about the gig title and description. Make a video of yourself telling people what they will get from the information.

My opinion is...why not? Fiverr is giving you a high-traffic $4 sales page for free. If you have something you are happy to sell for $4 you have nothing to lose by sticking it on there!

EDIT: if you make the report re-brandable and then you can get an opt-in for the re-branding rights or, if you are Level 2 seller, charge an extra $5 for re-branding rights

Fiverr is a good source of income if you offer the right service for the right amount that they pay you. Ofcourse you don't want your hard earned learnings to get paid for just $5. Be reasonable on fiverr.
