Fiverr Arbitrage and Themeforest, Flippa etc

by wowmike

I've heard people making money by buying services from fiverr for $5 and selling them on Flippa.

A few questions come to mind however. Like is it legal. There are a number of websites where you can upload a template website and one website can be sold to multiple people. I guess this is a good way to do it, instead of selling one website to one customer and having to find the customer. Is it not possible to simply upload a number of template website to websites such as envanto and then wait for people to buy it and let the money come in? In this case you wouldn't have to chase the client. The question is, does websites such as Envanto allow one template to be sold infinite amount of times? Another question is, do all sales require customer support?

Thanks,

Mike

    Fiver takes net fees of about 53 % of the cost of the service.

    Flippa takes fees and commissions of $ 19 USD per listing, and a 10 % succes fee.

    I don't know too many people who were able to recover after paying these rather large fees.

    Compare these, with Freelancer which takes only 3% and you understand why

    @wowmike yes its legal, some sellers just buy domain, slap on the same template over and over = profit

      So wait a minute, is it not feasible to do this?

      You buy a gig and make a wordpress template.

      You than sell it on themeforest and get royalty for each sale.

      Isn't that a win-win? It's sure to work, is it not?

      And it is legal right?

      The question is, can I sell multiple times on Themeforest the same template?

      Regards,

      Mike

    I'm not so sure about the content packages you are talking about.

    You need to pay attention to the rights you were given when you're buying such packages from places like Fiverr.

    Whatever permissions you get may be illegal.

    Also, it's not outside the realm of possibility where people get PLR materials and try to sell them many times over on Fiverr when they don't have the legal right to do that.

    You need to make sure you are legally covered, otherwise, you might get hit with an infringement claim.

    The better strategy for Fiverr arbitrage is to use the virtual assistants on Fiverr to look for domain names.

    You can then buy those domain names for registration plates and sell on Flippa up to a multiple of maybe 10 or even 20.

    No joke.

    You just need to use a virtual assistant to find hot domain trends and look for and registered domains in those fast rising niches.

    One very hot niche area that is still blowing up right now is drone technology.
