Thanks for this, Joe. I'm a bit of a Fiverr junkie - on both sides of the coin. I was talking elsewhere on WF today about videos on Fiverr pages.

From the article:

"In March of 2014, she revamped her page with a new video, one that she contracted out to another person on Fiverr. "That was like turning on a light switch," Horrocks said. That month, she made $3,500, and her side gig kept growing.

I'll be rereading this article. Some good tips.

This is neat: (one of her gigs)

Her secret?

Charge $5 for something that takes MINUTES to complete.

The key to Fiverr is RETURN ON EFFORT: Getting $5 out while putting in AS LITTLE TIME as possible WHILE meeting the client's quality goals.

Voice overs are perfect for this but graphics and other gigs may not be.... Which brings up COUNTRY OF ORIGIN...

Someone spending 2 hours coming up with an AWESOME header/banner will NOT make sense in California where the minimum wage is $9 USD currently (it's set to go up soon) per hour since your effective rate will be lower than the hourly minimum wage.... BUT...

to someone in India/Pakistan/Bulgaria/Bangladesh/Philippines, 2 hours for $4 (after Fiverr takes its cut) is a BETTER deal. That's $2 per hour, $16 per day. It's still not the best even for developing countries but at least it is over the daily minimum wage. Example: India's Delhi region pays a minimum wage of 461R per day. That's 7.26 USD. With Fiverr, they make DOUBLE the minimum wage and then some.

The good news is if you don't have skill sets that produce gigs which can be performed very quickly, you can use SOFTWARE (keyword research is the first gig that comes to mind) OR...

You can do FIVERR FLIPPING

One of the most common ways to flip your way to Fiverr profits is to buy CHEAP LOGOS and enter them into LOGO/DESIGN competition sites. Since some sites pay $250 per design win, you can stand to make a NICE profit. It takes some time researching the best designers though. Also, you have to pick providers that have a very QUICK delivery schedule.

Which is the same mentality that $0.99 kindle eBook product peddlers complain about, (or those pushing $7 WSO's etc) when they try to make a living online. You have to sell a whole lot of those in a month to pay your rent.

Selling a $997 or $1997, and up product or service, allows you to get there a little faster.

Experienced Fiverr sellers don't leave it alone at $5, they upsell the customer with "gig extras", and offer custom services for bigger projects at $100, $1000, or up.

And this is the drawback of a service based income. Fiverr is a mostly service based setup. (some do offer digital products, but still requires one to deliver it, etc.)

Many in here in the WF offer service based offers, whereby you have to "be there" and "do things", daily, and yes, that does sound like "job".

If your business is not that popular then it's manageable and you probably have more free time on your hands than you want.

But this voice over artist probably works 7 days a week with a few hours sleep, so I hope she doesn't burn out. No amount of money is worth that.

Very happy for her, but if that article starts a stampede of people to Fiverr with the hope of making anywhere near that amount of money, they will be seriously disappointed.

Yeah, yeah, I know. Anything is possible if you work hard enough and believe. You know the one thing that folks always leave out of that ridiculous saying? It's "and if you are extremely talented." Few on Fiverr actually are. I have only had one above average experience on Fiverr and that seller left, when he became a huge success there, as he couldn't deal with the buyers. He cultivated his Fiverr clients and struck out on his own with them as a base to get started. He has never looked back. He no longer charges Fiverr rates.

You are correct, a very tiny fraction have the ability to make anywhere near that sum per month, on fiverr, or even elsewhere.

No buts, however's, or other arguments coming from me.

My "not really" comment is because Fiverr has now made it possible, just like the rest of the "entire internet" has made it possible, for those with an actual solid business idea, product, etc, to make as much income as they set their mind to.

You can now earn a few Grand per Gig on Fiverr if you know what you are doing. It takes work, smarts, time, energy, and or money, to do this, but the fact remains, one can.

When I hear people sound discouraged (or negative) by making public statements such as: "It's very hard to do x,y,z", my knee jerk reaction is to counter them with "not really".

Despite of the small amount that will be able to do x,y,z, sometimes it's not due to something "being very hard", but due to lack of using systems that are already in place.

Well, at least you are honest enough to label it a knee-jerk reaction. I'm sure it comes from a good place and that you are well-intentioned.

While it is true that people can achieve success utilizing hard work, proven business models, established systems, perseverance and dozens of other tools and personal attributes, it is important to remind everyone that even with all of that, there is still no guarantee of any success, whatsoever. Not in the real world, anyway.

Some woman makes $9,000 a month and this is news?

Not to detract from anything she's done, but that only comes out to about $108,000/year. Admittedly, for most people that's decent money, but I'd hardly call it newsworthy. And I'd also consider that the news by definition looks for outliers -- the unusual cases that defy the norm. So if making just over $100k/year is an outlier, how much are most people making on Fiverr? Probably not much at all.

So with all due respect this article does not show that:

What it does show is that one woman, who was determined and hard-working -- and probably very lucky -- was able to make a moderate income from Fiverr.

It doesn't say anything about what anyone else can or will do.

True. However it's good to see examples of people succeeding. (Nothing wrong with making 6 figures.) We all need a little bit of inspiration from time to time. If a person where to listen to all the "naysayers" they would never accomplish anything.

Sure, it's important to be "realistic" however (IMO) most people can accomplish much more than they think they can.

When I was studying during my Master's program, we often used case studies in my management classes. These were extremely helpful -- so I very much agree that it can be helpful to see success (just as it can be helpful to see -- and learn from -- failure). But I think it's important that we draw the right lessons from it. After all, you can always cherry pick anecdotes to support whatever opinion you have. Politicians of all ideological stripes do this all the time.

Thus, the lessons you learn from a case study aren't that if someone else was successful anybody can be successful. They aren't lessons about what you should naively copy either as if you just get one or two "secrets" right, you'll find success too.

So what are these lessons? Well, they vary, but here are a few from this woman's story:

Look at the page Tom referenced above (Post #2 under "This is neat"). It's all about tipping. So what does that tell you? Should rush out and create an online tip jar like she does? Maybe... But I think there's something much deeper there. And this is what I think it is: There are 97 reviews for that product. This means that at least 97 people tipped her -- and probably a lot more! But why? They didn't have to. Did she go above and beyond for her customers? Does she do something special to inspire customer loyalty? And what does this say about her prospects for getting repeat customers? Honestly, I haven't studied her case enough to know all the answers but I do think those are lessons worth learning.
Click on the order button for her basic voiceover gig. What do you see? What I see are a bunch of upsells. Not surprising. But what kind of upsells do you see? I see two kinds. One kind is for extra work. More words, multiple accents, correct grammar. The other kind is really paying more for the same service -- the difference is you get the service done faster. It's not exactly -- but pretty close -- to what economists call price discrimination in which "identical or largely similar goods or services are transacted at different prices by the same provider in different markets." (Thanks for the definition Wikipedia!) Essentially she knows that there are some people who are only willing to pay $5 for her service, while others are willing to pay much more. So she's devised a pricing strategy to try to capture as much of her customers' willingness to pay as she can. Good stuff there.

And I'm sure there's much, much more that could be learned from her story. But you gotta take the time to actually study it. And you gotta go beyond the so-called lessons about "if she can do it, anyone can" because that's just not true. This is a seasoned voice actress with over 10 years experience and who's lived for significant stretches on both sides of the Atlantic. It's not a model that's very conducive to immitation. But that doesn't mean you can't learn from her.

Just make sure you're learning the right lessons.

It definitely sounds awesome earning $9k/month, but I personally think, it's still a "job"...

Yes, she doesn't have a boss, she doesn't travel to an office 5 days a week, working 9-5, and yes she makes A LOT more than she used to at her regular job, but...

She exchanges her time for money. If she stops working for a particular day, she won't make anything that day. How different is that from a day job?

It's not a secret that freelancers who do quality work can make decent money, but there's nothing WOW about it, because you are dependant on yourself working every day and obviously you dedicate a lot of time to whatever you do, like you would in a day job.

On the other hand, when you have a service that you outsource to someone else, while you just get the clients, or possibly a product that affiliates promote for you, it's a totally different story right?

You make money without the matter whether you are there or not...

1. Find a client
2. Outsource the work
3. Deduct the money from revenue for the freelancer
4. Profit

Anyway, that's just me...

Unless they are the most productive and efficient person in the world, surely they don't have enough time in the day to make serious $$. - That might just be my lack of knowledge of the area though.

This could be doing things such as setting up a website for eCommerce purposes,
building a list of subscribers, creating a product, having a source of targeted traffic, etc.

People tend to over complicate things, or look for free ways to get around the systems,
or yes, try to re invent the wheel right out of the gate.

I am all for creating new original things, but you have to know how the old wheel spins first, and how it wears and tears, before you can improve on its design, or decide to create something completely different.

i prefer to do other things with my life though.

When you see people selling something on Fiverr, they may have larger ventures going elsewhere,
and it doesn't mean their work day consists of delivering $5 services.

That used to be the case, but Fiverr did change allot of things in order to accommodate people who live in parts of the world where their rent is more than $5 a month.

When you see people hang out in this forum once in a while or for the larger part of their day, it either means that they have other sources of passive income which allows them to do it,

or, they are you,

trying to learn, but making mistakes, and hopefully adjusting your strategies as you go.

Awesome! Thank you, great advice!

Some of the negative feedback (i.e. fiverr vs ecommerce site) is like telling an NFL football quarterback he would make much more money as a MLB baseball pitcher because they get paid more money for less work.

One key to her success is the gig is in her existing skill set. She had already done voice over work. It's something she can easily knock out in a few minutes.

I am intrigued by this article because my sister is an actor who does occasional voice over.

Pointing my sister to fiverr and showing she can make $5/minute for voice over work would be much more valuable to her than telling her (for example) to learn all the ins and outs of list building and affiliate marketing in order to "make money online".

She could do the same thing on Elance or Upwork, probably for better money too.

However, I think the reason Fiverr works quite well for most people, is simply because of the value you get for a fiverr. And also, if the work is decent, then getting some addons done for extra 10-20 bucks sounds reasonable, so in the end, you spend something close to $40-50 on one gig.

While in other places, you normally spend higher amounts outright, because obviously no one is going to do anything for you for a fiverr....

Thanks
