How much spent at Fiverr?

12 years ago

61 gigs = $305

although against fiverr rules, have contacted a few of the better designers and programmers off the site and hired them that way. done this because it's much easier to accurately communicate specifics through skype or the phone, particularly for more complex jobs.

Thanks

How do you contact them without breaking the terms of service? I try to be subtle about it, but I think I'm too subtle, because I've never successfully contacted any provider off of fiverr. (though I'd really like to.)

I found the best cover guy and I'm worried he'll vanish.

had similar issues and cancelled several projects as a result. i'd consider giving fiverr another chance if i were u. there are some great designers/programmers on that site, and once u find them u get excellent quality for the price. (thought i had only purchased 61 gigs, actually it's more like 75...forgot about my other account.)

anyway, here's a few of my favorite gigs...gigs I've ordered multiple times each. these folks do a great job, exactly to the specifications, and are very timely:
I will design a professional high quality EBOOK cover for $5 on fiverr.com
I will solve any CSS issues you might have for $5 on fiverr.com
I will narrate your short story or book for an MP3 audio production for $5 on fiverr.com
I will code in html/css/javascript for you for $5 on fiverr.com
I will proofread anything, up to 1500 words, for spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors for $5 on fiverr.com
- [ 2 ] Thanks

Only ordered like 5 gigs and they have all been related to graphic designs. I think Fiverr is a great place to get cheap graphics and most of the time they are pretty good quality for the price. At least I have been very happy with the graphics I've gotten.

I've used fiverr to find some good quality writers. I will buy an article from someone. if they are good i will buy another, if that one is good I will approach them and ask them if they would be willing to do further work for me away from fiverr. I will pay them more, and they will get more because they dont have to pay fiverr commission.

It's a risk to a certain degree for both parties, but it can pay off much better if you build trust with that person.

I'm not convinced anyone can make a decent income from fiverr (unless you live in a third world country) so don't expect anything exceptional from the work you pay for. I do believe you though that you can find some people who's work (writing skills in my experience) has gone unappreciated in the past, and that if you are willing to pay them a fair share, they will produce good quality work for you, but you've got to get them off/away from fiverr.

Thanks

Overall, I've been very happy with Fiverr. I lost track of how many gigs I've bought there....it's been a lot! While there are some gigs that won't live up to your expectations, many of them will, and you should add these to your "starred" list, so you can always go back and find your favorite gigs easily to use again. I have a pretty extensive list. Once you find really good providers....and it IS a process of trial and error....keep using them. And when you're finding someone new to use for the first time, read their feedback, see how long they've been on Fiverr, look at some of their other gigs and the feedback on those gigs, read their gig description carefully, and THEN make a decision on whether or not to try them.

Try the Best of Fiverr blog.

It's not that you haven't learned the search algo, it's that there are over 600,000 gigs on Fiverr. Too much of a muchness.

Last year I bought a customized promo video for myself and for a dozen of my downliners (of hundreds), the 12 who replied to my email about the offer of my buying them a promo video. BUT in the longrun, most of those downliners didn't do much anyway, not even with a supportive sponsor who gives them paid promo videos. Where can I find at least 12 people who have daily motivation for the longterm?

I also spent a $5 for a banner. So in all, about $70 in the last 6 months, $65 of that was to one seller.

Thanks

Hundreds, at least. I'm too scared to see the real number haha. At least I know that I have made a lot more money from SEO than I have spent on fiverr, so whatever the number it was definitely worth it.

I've done over 1000 gigs now on the site, mostly writing. Also I've got several people that found me on fiverr who I write for directly now which is nice.

Not sure if self promotion is ok, but here's my top gig:

I've never really counted how many gigs I've bought, or the money I spent there -- and I don't really want to count the few hundred. But from what I can tell you, it well paid off the investments I made. Fiverr is a great place for micro-jobs and finding talented people to work for you for near nothing.

I figure every other fiverr gig is worth 4x the price, so the other one can be worthless.

And the worthless ones are actually priceless too, because every single losing deal has a lesson in it, if you can just be bothered to pay attention and figure out what the lesson is.

Where else in this world can you learn something valuable about people, about getting things done, about hiring, about reading comprehension and filtering, about setting expectations, about value, about life... for just $5?

I've found one really good writer on fiverr though I have to wait a couple of weeks to get my articles back.

I also use fiverr for social bookmarking and some back link diversification, had a few that were a waste of time, the majority have been OK.

Some gigs were worth $5 when I should of paid a lot more and got quality work, so were a waste of time.

Fiverr is a bit like the WSO special offer section, some nuggets amongst all the crap.
