$200 A DAY ON FIVERR?...Let's get real, put up or shut up...

Have I made $200 a day using fiverr?
No.

Is it possible?
Maybe (I haven't done it so I can't say)

Will someone create a fake screenshot and post it on the thread?
I think yes but let's see

EDIT: Ok that was a joke so don't get defensive now

Fiverr is an interesting concept. Myself, I'd just rather pay someone else a bit more, know that I'll get it done right, and build a working relationship with them....but that's just me.

If you have twitter accounts with 20.000 followers of 4-5 face book accounts with 15-20.000 friends sure you can make that much for promoting stuff to your followers. This kind of providers always have 10 or more orders queued up every day. I can see therm making that much money. If you have things you can leverage, you can get a lot of orders. Offer to do email blast to your list of 10.000 and see how much you make!

What sort of Facebook friends or Twitter followers do you have to have to have them endure your constantly spamming them with fiverr orders?

First off, I'd like to know what they did to get 20,000 followers when facebook has a limit, and then what's the value of that? They put a post on their wall or their page?

Yes, there are successful gigs that get a lot of hits each day, promising a lot of friends or a lot of tweets...but look at the feedback, it's like a WSO, yes he did this but too early to gage results...

No but in all seriousness I'm sure that 80% of the WSO makers who have claimed ridiculous oearnings n Fiverr have probably fudged the numbers.

Damn, i could quote all the replies in here, but I hate it when peeps do that...

YES, fiverr is experimental and so are the gigs you offer, they need to be something that you can do fast. At $4/gig it needs to be something you can push a button and walk away.

Something I haven't seen in a WSO yet, with proof

I was just about to buy one of those Fiverr WSOs when I came across this thread. Who cares about the $20 bucks... you saved me from the heartbreak of buying yet another WSO offering hope but falling short on realistic earnings potential. Thank you for encouraging us 'would-be-fiverrs' to wait for a Photoshopped earnings report before taking the financial plunge. In the meantime, I'll let my current gigs ride; I'm currently making almost $4 a day. (Obviously, I have other projects besides this one!)

They may or may not have made $200 in one day on fiverr but they have definitely made $200 or more in one day by selling it as WSO.

I can tell you $100 is beyond possible, BUT NO DOING GIGS. You must think out of the box and offer services one place, then buy them on fiverr and keep the difference..

what is Fiverr?

I have never heard of it. Can somebody here explain it to me?

Fiverr is completely new to me, I've never even heard of it. What does it do, can someone explain?

S

$200 per day? I say no. Not possible. I mean you will need 50 sales! Possible? I say no again.

Karan

I've used it a couple of times and it's nothing special.

Get real guys. Unless you want to slave away for chump change than it's a goldmine. Real marketers have much bigger problems to solve.

Also, the quality of services rendered sucked ass 80% of the time. Just hire a Warrior and get it done right the first time.

Guys

"fiverr is nothing special"
"$200 a day is not possible"
"show me a screenshot"

Hmm.. Let's go over these three points that were annoyingly made. First of all when you say fiverr is nothing special, it really isn't. It's another way to generate leads just like any other way.

Secondly, when you say $200 a day is not possible, and that you want screenshots. Think about it again, $200 may not come from the $5 gigs, it may come from something outside of the gigs in relation to fiverr.. Should I explain...?

Most Fiverr sellers do things for $5 that they would normally charge a lot more for. I know people who sell things for $50+ that are just $5 on Fiverr. Of course, they do not work as hard on them.. but you catch my drift.. So why would people offer "The goods" for so cheap?

It's simple really... After you enjoy someone's service.. Your going to come back again... And after when they say, "hey, if you want to get more/upgrade your services, visit my site...", and you've enjoyed there work.. You can bet that your going to go buy there stuff.

Consider each person who purchases from you a "lead"... $200 a day is possible from those leads... Not from fiverr directly maybe, but from the leads it generates.

Caleb

hey Ouroboros, i have always used fiverr to outsource my jobs but never to learn stuff there. By the way could you post or PM me the list of the 16 fiverr clone sites you mentioned. could definitely make a good use of it.

Doable yes. However, unrealistic to the max. Also, most jobs on FIBerror pay less than the minimum wage. I have found people to do grunt work super cheap, but this will not last as most will wise up.

I think it's difficult to maintain a $200 every daywith Fiverr.

However, I think it depends on the service you are offering and how much time is needed to deliver that requirement.

Also to get 50 sales a day (in order to reach $200) you would probably need to have a featured listing which would then hit into your profit.

Have you checked out some of the gift ideas? Some of them are bizarre! I think the concept of Fiverr is great but I certainly wouldn't try and make a decent income from it.

Lilach

I made 110$ in one day.But never made more then that.
however I can bet that I can make more then that.

Of course you can make money, and $200 a day. Asking for "proof" is hardly constructive. Did you upscale and outsource across those clones?

Or are you running around trying to do it all yourself? If so there's your answer.

On top of that is the cash to be made offering extended services, upgrades, personal help/mentoring and other stuff through building the initial relationship on fiverr.

I did a WSO on all of that - did you get that one?

Just be careful when asking for a screen shot of profits. People can fake it, and it's very easy to do that.

Has anyone got any feedback/experience of Zeerk.com or other Fiverr clone sites, from either side of the transaction?

Caleb hit the nail right on the head. Many people that are trying to figure out how to make money w/ fiverr and "reverse engineer" fiver, are missing the whole beauty of the concept.

I, with my first purchase, realized the huge potential there. My first purchase on there was a voice over from a guy that does narrations for movie promos. It was an absolutely incredible piece of work for me he did. I got it for $5 and it's easily worth hundreds. So my immediate reaction was to look the guy up and take work from him at his regular price.

So believe me - That was at least a $200 deal for him w/ just one gig.

You're not going to make out big here just selling $5 at a time. But it's a brilliant way to get recognition for quality products or services. - I can think of dozens of ways that this could easily be the starting point for a huge sales funnel. You could sell a nice ebook, sprinkled w/ affiliate links or opt-ins. You could make videos for people - with an unobtrusive watermark to your website. And usually any product you sell on there, you have to provide for download. So you could bundle it in a zip file w/ other promotional stuff. Personally I think it could be a goldmine if you dig around a bit.

I just tried fiverr for the first time - not as a seller but as a buyer, a terrible first experience!!!
The site doesn't have any real support or instructions for buyers. Apparently, all contact is made via messages on their site only - not all that easy to access though. When clicking on one of the "place order" buttons, you're immediately directed to a payment screen which isn't too bad but... you're then back on their site that only states your payment was successful along with an order #. No way to know how to proceed from there! Stumbling around, I found the message box again and wrote to the seller for instructions on how to actually give him my order. I also found a message box for contacting customer service and told them I was a bit bewildered and asked if they had any instructions, etc. on the buying process and what I should be expecting now that they had my $5.
That was 2 days ago. I still haven't heard back from customer service but I did finally get a message from the seller today - saying that he no longer offered this service!!!! Great! Here i thought I was doing something that would be just an inexpensive, quick boost to some affiliate marketing and this ad wasn't even active any longer!!! Just finding your messages alone is confusing and now I have to figure out how to get a refund. This whole site is a maze - at least for me as a first time buyer. I'm not sure I'll take a chance on it again till and IF I ever hear back from their customer service. I had also considered the possibility of being a seller but from this little experience along with all the comments here it may not be worth it all!
I know you are all probably more interested in selling than buying but I'd be interested to know what if any experience you've had on the buyer's side of 5'rr.
Thanks for letting me rant!

The only way to make money FAST with Fiverr, I'd say, is having a HUGE amount of Facebook/Twitter friends and having one of those gigs where you promote stuff to them.

It's fast and easy..

I've made quite a bit of money from Fiverr, but it takes too long and the payoff is horrible. $4 a job, come on!

I'd rather s*ck for a buck.

question!!

you're writing and ebook.
you KNOW its going to be pirated and put on Fiverr immediately.
do you jump the gun and put it up there yourself when you launch??
or do you just let it happen? or is this 2 far off the current fighting and i should start my own thread? lol

Fiverr's not nearly big enough to steal the thunder from a properly marketed ebook.

I've never used Fiverr but reading through the comments, it seems as though it can provide a platform to impress potential clients who would perhaps like to acquire your services for a long term business relationship.

Work smart not hard, comes to mind.

As Caleb mentioned earlier, show people what you can do and they may just pay you more than $5.

It's a loss leader site?

Steve

Use it as a gateway to get clients, cross sale them on a more expensive product or service.

much easier to make $200/day on gigbucks which is a fiverr clone. making 40 sales/day seems a bit realistic on fiverr. but can one sell an intro service on fiverr and do a good job of delivering it and then build up clientelle from that who can pay whatever you want to charge for other services off the site? sure, why not? its a matter of the correct use of something in your marketing toolbox.

Oksa rocks!

Some peeps on fiver don't even bother to offer the services that they advertise - they post a "sample" of their work, which contains a link to their site or an email where you can contact them. I contacted a guy that was offering voiceover "for five bucks" and when I emailed him, he quoted me $50 for 30 seconds voiceover and that's if I had all the per work done for him (writing the script, etc.)...

Look further than that one site and contact moment.... think about the back-end.

Making a living $5 at a time (actually $4 after commissions) is a hard way to go. But Fiverr is a great way of giving people a taste of what you can do. I have found several freelancers in different fields on Fiverr, tested them for five bucks, then given them bigger projects later. So it can be a great marketing tool.

Ryan, beautiful challenge for us to know the real deal,
Love this. let's see where it leads.
Ryan, let's see your result too.
Good one.

Maybe a $50 dollar service site... Heater.com would be a good follow-up?

selling 50 jobs on fiverr in a day, quite possible. especially if you get your gig featured.

i prefer putting my affiliate links in the job description and watching my revenue trickle in

Here are some stats, payment details from a short period last week. Three seperate clients all acquired from fiverr and just one listing that I put up briefly.

I would prefer that the $121 payment be made via paypal, but we can negotiate whichever means of payment may be most beneficial for you.

If you were CRAZY enough to think up 3 or 4 hundred different things to do as a "GIG" and then CRAZY enough to take the time to post those 3 or 4 hundred "GIGS" on the site you might be able to sustain $200 per day.

I study the site last week for a couple of days and it appears the folks making money have many GIGS they offer, not just 1 or 2.

It appears (to me at least) that the offers which consistently appear at the top of Fiverr are the "novelty" gigs, which mostly involve sexy girls dressed in revealing clothing holding up a sign or doing something crazy for you which is then photographed. There seems to be an endless demand for such services, judging from the comments I have read. It'd also be pretty easy to upsell additional services on the backend without having to do a lot more work.

I made $30 in my first day on fiverr, but then concentrated on other things and lost my account there.

Want to try again with new offers. I think fiverr has a potential, but I should test it to see what comes out and sells better than other products...

naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !!!!!!!!!

that is not possible!!

maybe some guys with great and unique tallent can make such amount!!

PS: YOU CAN'T POST MORE THAN 20 GIGS (i guess)

It's called upselling...

Sell a simple introductory offer or service on fiverr and then upsell them to a more complex service or complimentary product. That's how it's done!

How long does it take for a gig to appear after you activate it? Thanks

Hey....ummm I don't see why it's NOT possible. Maybe the WSO'ers haven't done it but it's certainly feasible.

One of my most popular fiverr gigs takes me 10 seconds to complete...WITHOUT OUTSOURCING...

You really have to be able to offer a product that a lot of people want AND that you can do 50 times in one day. Writing articles is the best way, but how good can a ten minute article actually be - but then again it's only 5 bucks.

It is very difficult if we just think inside the box.
If you just depend on your service then $200 a day is very difficult
anyway, how about using fiverr to generate traffic or just one stepping stone for your main earning. It has a very good traffic right now.
the way above can be categorized indirectly as "making money from fiverr"

Fiverr is interesting, and I can see the potential, pretty soon I expect it to be saturated with either people doing too little for the fiver, or freelancers undercutting the competition till only the cheapest can make any money, which puts off those in it for the money in the first place

Oki, I just joined Fiverr. I want to know if it's possible or not. I'm going to take up the challenge and do it for a month as much as possible. Let's see how much at the most I'm able to make.

I dont know if $200 a day would be possible. But, if it is, then it's going to be great additional income.

People who say they're making more than $50/day on Fiverr = lying.

By the way, I was on the FRONT PAGE of Fiverr and still didn't make anywhere near that.

I am noticing some of the regular sellers I've used on Fiverr have stopped doing gigs anymore. I've emailed some privately and they say its because it just wasn't worth all the effort for so little...

If you think outside the box, use your gigs to drive traffic to other services/products it is definitely possible. I have bought some decent plr vids etc on fiverr, there is some decent stuff on there if you look hard enough.

I've never heard of this product. I've never been able to make money with social marketing on my own, but I've never tried any social marketing products either.

I still think people are lying. There are no screen shots. LOL

Why do you need to make $200 a day with Fiveer ? Make $30 to $ $50 and make the rest with something else!

I know of some clone sites, but there are really 16? can you provide me a list. I only know about 5 of them.

$200 isn't it quite impossible? I think you can but we're not. Go ahead.

I have ZERO doubt that there are people who have done it. But they are likely including their outside sales that came with it which is fine. I imagine the key si that you ensure followup to offer other services or products.

I bought A WSO about making money on Fiverr. I just started actually posting "gigs" but have not seen any money yet. The WSO I purchased was highly recommended by other Warriors on this forum. I believe it to be fairly well written however I think that, like it is said in the WSO, it takes a while to make sales and get positive feedback to get in the "featured" section.

Also how popular is the gig? My two gigs are "how to get out of a traffic ticket" and a "travel checklist" Both are not very popular when you have to compete with people who promise to put you in front of their 30,000 fans or a picture taken in front of a John Deere tractor. It's a new experience for me. Did I get taken? Maybe, but I think with more thought and work I could make a little money on it. The key is the effort i put in. And since I have alot more time than money, I need to spend more time! It's kinda like getting toned abs. You can't buy a belt that "pulses" your abs into shape, you have to work at it.

I wrote several articles for my work at home money site on Fiverr. During the process I spoke to several Fiverr people who had been featured etc. None of them were making $200 daily on a regular basis but they were making a nice chunk of change that made a difference to them.

With so many gigs on Fiverr in order to cash in and stay noticed you would have to promote it.

Now I recently hired someone at Fiverr to perform a service for me. They used a paid program to complete the service that I could also sign up for. That program offers an affiliate payout. So here is one way you could make some change. Put on a service and then perform it. Then send an affiliate link to the person so they can sign up to perform the service for others using the same service you are using. You would just have to make sure that does not violate TOS.

Another way would be to continually send out the same item over and over so you only have to make it once. But here again you continually have to promote.

Considering that Fiverr keeps a buck you are getting a fourer is it worth it?

Personally not for me. I would rather make a fiftier or a hundreder. But it is great that others are willing to do it and I just recently snagged a $5 bargain that saved me hours of time

I think the key to making big money from Fiverr and clone sites is to upsell and build relationships with prospects so you can offer them something more privately. Another way of making big money is to sell something that takes very little time (Facebook Fan Page updates, Tweets to followers) so that you can do lots of orders in a day.

I posted several small packages of PLR articles that I had written.

I kept getting spammed, just like I get spammed on Craigslist.

People wanted to hire me to write great quality articles for them each month, but only pay me $5 for the original content.

It was ridiculous.

If you're thinking outside of the box, you can still make big profits there without breaking their rules.

I bet those featured people are making more than $200 if they are handling there back end properly. Can tell some of them are doing a bait and switch very well like cheap SEO e.t.c.

I would very much second that.

I have only started looking into fiverr from a provider perspective (LOVE it as a customer, especially for creative gifts!), but the only way I ever looked at it is as the $5 paying you for, or at least offsetting the costs of your marketing and exposing many people to your services. For that I do see it as a beautiful and powerful concept.

And also as a place to make a little side income with those random passions you have that you just love doing, but for which there either isn't a regular market, or getting into it would take more than your priorities allow. Look around and you'll see a lot of people making a couple hundred dollars a month just having a blast and sharing their gifts with the world. A perfect place to help you transition from being money-motivated to fun and giving motivated in my view...

Exactly...Fiverr and the clones are a TOOL for you to upsell and get more business. Yes, many online marketers will scoff at the "work" you have to do to get that person in the sales funnel....well alot of people on here still market to offliners. They can make good money upselling and sending them through their sales funnel.

Onliners that think it is silly, well make it easy on yourself. Outsource the gigs or do something REALLY easy (here's a hint - go buy a really cool Photohsop action and offer the service). I have one that does some cool stuff that cost me a whole $4 to buy...it runs in the background while I am doing other things BAM! 10 seconds I have a $5 gig done. Now I can tell them "hey if you like that, I do a whole lot of other stuff reasonably...go check out my website if you need anything". Do I do all this stuff, NO! I outsource it and keep the spread. That is how you make $200/day using Fiverr and the clones.

Personally I don't do this method very much, I have bigger fish to fry like the above mentioned product launches ect. But it is a GREAT way for a beginner IM'er to get people looking at their services, so don't dismiss it.

Oh yeah...not a FAD....elance and all those are still around and there will alwasy be people wanting stuff for cheap and people willing or able (ie live in a country where $5 for 10 minutes of work is GREAT money) to provide cheap labor.

I do understand making money from the leads that you generate from fiverr, can produce more than 200 in one day.
But I am curious to know if anyone can setup to the challenge of making 200 dollars in one day from fiverr directly I think it can be done. I might try it myself.

This year-old thread didn't really need to be bumped... it's not like there's any shortage of current Fiverr threads.
