Fiverr is not for five dollars

I just bought a gig this week on SEO

the guy MASSIVELY overdelivered (on page stuff, plug ins, statistics everything) - quite an unbelievable service

I have said I will keep him in work. Did a great job and earnt a long time customer.

I might look into Fiverr, I only heard about it the other day and it sounds very interesting. Maybe a good way to pay for the hosting etc. of my current venture before it pays for itself or falls flat on it's face!

They pocket $1 so you'll end up earning $4 per gig, last time I checked.

I have used fiverr for a month now and I have earned 44$.

I hear so many stories of other marketers making money by selling ebooks on fiverr and using upsells and what not for bigger profits. I have not been able to make a single cent using fiverr and I have been at it for about a month... sad day

I agree with what you are saying here.

Many of the gigs I have purchased have ways to contact the seller off of Fivver so you can continue to order from them etc.

It's a smart concept and as long as they focus their time on building those relationships they will continue to get repeat customers. I wouldn't mind lowering my price once to let someone see what my services can offer them!

You make a good point

Fiverr is a decent place to build a list of good, relevant people.

If you do a good enough job, people WILL want to hire you for further jobs. Most people in internet marketing are looking for good workers to build long term relationships with.

Fiverr is an extra income. I use fiverr income to buy gigs.

fiverr is a great concept..

i sell ebooks and other stuffs in fiverr. ofcourse we will get only few bucks..

but i up-sell the buyers with other products and make money..

may i should start building list of buyers in fiverr

come on guys, fiverr is a place for blackhatters, spammers, scammers and hijackers

the traffic from there consists mainly in spam bots, scam, malwares and viruses

Fiverr is awesome all ways round or the buyer and seller. But like anything both parties need to do their proper research to win win ! Ive definitely hired two or three contracters off there that I lost a few days of work on. Didn't lose any money though. It just seems like alot of people willing to take on any job for a gig and then try to charge you more gigs. Or the seller comunication skills with poor attitude, quick to drop your job.

The other day I hired someone to convert html files to wordpress. I first posted a job on elance and found out its gonna run me around 175. So I went over to fiverr sent a bunch on messages. Took a while to get some responses. The first guy that seemed fit forthe job told me 120 I was in a super hurry so I went for it. Minutes later someoe else tells me $10 I ask the original guy to match price, he declines offers to refund which I accept. We did go outside of fiverr cause he was complaining about the fees so I sent him paypal. Well this guy ended up sending me a fake paypal notification of refund and I was so busy I didnt notice till two days later when I actually checked my account.Dang crook, I offered to pay him $10 for a hour that he claimed to have worked. But I ended up having to get paypal involved and I got a full refund a hour later.

That was like my third experience with fiverr. I was almost ready to kick rocks. But i've spent more time on there now and have a better understanding for their platform and I love it. We just need to realize there are scammers everywhere and we just need to protect ourself and conduct our own research.

Also on the other side of the stick for someone trying to make money on there. Fiverr will work best if you can deliver products or services that take you no time at all to produce to no more then 5 minutes. This is how you can make some serious dough. Then you offer like 20 different gigs on there. You also need to make sure there is a high demand for what you are offering. Competition is good, you will kill them by offering better service and building a better feedback. Making sure that everyone leaves you a feedback.

Few years back, people used to talk about outsourcing their task to Odesk. Now people talk about Fiverr only.

After a year or so Fiverr will dominate the outsourcing marketplace.

I really like fiverr, but I also like:
gigbucks.com
fourerr.com
justafive.com

I also used to really like zeerk.com, but there website has been down for about a month now. Not sure what's going on.

Fiverr is great if your service is great. I have got mane sales and providing great service to build trust. Just follow rules of fiverr and you will rock. I am happy providing senuke service at fiverr.

Fiverr is a great site. Just a little thinking outside the box and the sky's the limit.

i love fiverr !, its a gold mine if you know how to play with it

Building a good list is worth a lot more that the measly 4 dollars one gets from delivering a gig.

I have been using fiverr for some time now, (less than a year), both for buying and selling. I have had 98% positive experiences and am definitely keeping on there.

I have met some great people and have picked up a few steady SEO clients that I now work with outside of fiver.

So far I made over $800 on fiverr, I could have made more, but I choose to backoff a bit because it was taking up too much of my time.

Hi Kursat, from Fiverr launch date I used i firstly for selling, and it worked greatly because many of my gig buyers became personal customers for high priced items and coachings.

And also as a buyer, I got many experience on how sellers work for their businesses.
So I'm perfectly in accord with you Kursat, you hit the target!

See you soon,

I would say in short period of time Fiverr has built good brand name and it is getting more popularity, here all are profited, buyer, seller and Fiverr of course.

ive bought great giggs on fiverr, effective and cheap

Agree on that. Basically fiverr is a way great way to find customers/partners that you can keep for good. It depends on how you handle people and build quality relationship with them.

Fiverr is for keeps. Just make sure that you only deal with trustworthy people.

Fiverr is a good place to outsource SEO. Sometimes you might get more bang for the buck out there than buying services in forums if you can mix and match fiverr deals from one deal with another as long as its still within your budget.

I am seller on Fiverr..
I got long term clients from it and I am doing lot of business with my fiverr clients..
If you are providing good service on fiverr then you will definately get clients.
Thanks
