Fiverr - Full time? My story

Good stuff Tiffany. Fiverr is a great site. I hope your success continues!

Hi Tiffanny,

Great to hear that you like your business module on fiverr, i have a plan to do something on fiverr too since posting gig is free.

Andrew

So are you buying a service on Fiverr, then selling it to someone else for more than 100x the price it was for you? That's genius!

nice work, I know 2 people personally killig it with fiverr..but they work their ass off and have automated software to so stuff for them. Its a good gig if you can get it as they say.

I'd love to hear more on this. I'm fascinated by Fiverr myself even though I've only made $12 on it so far. Can you provide more information on what you're doing?

Congrats!

Your story is really inspirational.

Hi Tiffany,

I've used Fiverr in my offline business as well, but only to fulfill a small part of the projects. I've never fulfilled an entire order from one Fiverr gig.

The problem I see with this is sustainability. It's only a matter of time until someone finds out that you're taking $5 videos and selling them for $400-$600. Maybe your clients won't find out, but your competition will and once they do they'll tear your business apart. Your reputation will be ruined and you'll have a hard time finding new clients in your area.

I recommend checking out VideoHive.net, they have a bunch of top-quality video templates. Instead of selling a $5 video you could find a $25 template there, pay someone from oDesk.com another $25-$50 to customize the template, and deliver a higher quality product to your clients.

Your profit margins will be a little lower but the quality would be much higher and you won't be putting your reputation in jeopardy.

I also recommend learning about video SEO and selling that as an upsell to your video clients. Via outsourcing it usually only takes $10-$50 to rank a video on the first page of Google for local keywords.

Anyways congratulations on your success so far and good luck with your business.

Nice to hear that Fiverr has been of optimal use to you. We just need to weed out those bad guys giving low quality gigs. Absolutely great site overall to outsource our job for $5!

In my experience the hardest thing is finding clients that are interested.

Personally, I have been offering the testimonials on Fiverr to people who are trying to sell products online and that has been working well.

In terms of video. Dan does have a point. It depends on what kind of video you're producing.

Personally, if I am selling a $400 video. The warriorforum would be a better place for me to outsource it.

However, I am charging them around $100 bucks, I wouldn't mind a $5 fiverr gig.

Great post and that's wonderful to hear! I really think Fiverr has a lot of potential if used correctly.

I'm making a list of Dentists Right Now!!!

Hi Tiffany and thanks for sharing your experience on Fiverr.
Who has great ideas, and can develop them fastly, can really build a good and recurring cash amount on Fiverr, and don't forget the faithful customer you can keep out from Fiverr for bigger jobs.

Fiverr for many people, including me, represent a high quality income website.

See you soon,
Alessandro

Congrats Tiffany! Fiverr is a great source to find offline clients. I have closed many SEO clients.

Hi Tiffany, you've shared some helpful advice. I hope your success continues on Fiverr.

Why not put out a WSO?

i have made 80$ from fiverr in 3 months

Good stuff .. I always heard good things about fiverr .. and i also have same good feelings for it

I also recommand -->fiverr

Congratz tiffany.. and glad hear that.. fiver is one of way Make money online.. I hope your success continue..

this is awesome and i must say one of the easiest way you did to make money online. i think it is high time i started using fiverr too

Sweet deal. I may try that. I have been doing this on a lower scale by outsourcing Fiverr Gigs to other Fiverr Clone sites.. LOL yeah i know sneaky right. To locate a buyer that pays $25 for a service that I paid only $5 for.

Thinking outside the box has certainly paid off for your Tiffany, well done!

Fiverr is just fantastic for all kind of outsourcing. You'd be surprised how few 'real world' people know about Fiverr...

As far as it being legitimate or not to take $400 and outsource the work for $5, you have to consider that she had to close the deal, drive to the client, manage the work, make sure it was acceptable and deliver it to her client's satisfaction.

Like she said, they paid her to handle it because THEY didn't have the time or access to any of these tools.

She handled it - she earned her commission.

Thanks for sharing your story Tiffany.

Nice share and congrats, Tiffany!

I would say that for the customer it doesnt matter how high or low the base price we pay is. Only one thing matters for the customer:

If the price he should pay is in his budget range then we have met the equilibrium for this
customer.

Fiverr is the sh*t! We have used it to find college students all over the world to stick our (stupidDOPE.com) website stickers around their campuses. Great website and awesome people on there!

What pure Genius! Thanks so much for sharing this with your fellow warriors, Tiffany. I'm not 100% sure what kind of videos you're referring to, but I'll be researching this one alright!

I am a Fiverr seller that actually uses it to resell to others. I have been doing alot of work testing various providers on Fiverr in order to convert to offline sales. A few things to keep in mind:

1. Many times you are working with someone who IS NOT from the country that the flag on there name says. They sign up using VPN in order to get the flag of their choosing.
2. Level One is very simple to get. Try to only work with top-rated sellers and level two sellers. While this may sound a bit cruel to newbies, simply put, too many newbies on Fiverr cannot deliver.
3. Ask lots of questions and ask the seller what they do if you do not like the video/product. I personally offer a "no questions asked" guarantee. Some sellers will deliver the product and you may not be happy and think to yourself, "its only 5 bucks lost no big deal." Sellers count on that,
4. Send the seller a msg before you buy with your expectations - Many times buyers get false expectations. Fiverr only allows 450 characters (including spaces) in the gig description. I try as best I can to describe my service but it is hard. I really like it when a buyer msg's me first with a few files or questions.
5. Its easy to get banned as a seller on Fiverr. If you are unhappy with the product tell the seller and ask for a refund. If the seller has delivered the order and says, "I cant give you a refund".......tell them to contact Fiverr and request that you be refunded. Fiverr staff are happy to oblige and as long as the seller is legit it looks good for them to take the extra step and talk to Fiverr admin.

I look forward to posting on this subject in detail and giving my secrets away for free (776 completed sales in 6 months for about $4000) once I am not a newbie anymore. If these were helpful please thank me or whatever you are supposed to do here to get some cred.

Wow, that's really inspirational especially for people that may have already been looking into Fiverr as an option to make some money but debated on it! Wish you much success at continuing it on going forward.

I'm just happy at the moment that I reached Level 2 status recently and didn't think I would. I don't really promote my Fiverr gigs often, but to still have reached Level 2 was exciting for me so I can imagine how blown away you've been in terms of your success with it! Congrats again!

*Thanx* for this post! You just added more goof information into my brain.

Congratulations, Tiffany, You are very creative. The videos you are making will help the professionals. Fiverr people can make them...they are happy. And you get paid well for orchestrating the sales. Great gig!!!

Thanks David, thats awfully kind of you to say.

this is a really good idea, but you talk face to face or phone calls?

That's really unimpressive, sorry. You should have opened with said "earned over 100k selling various IM products".

^^ oh really? :rolleyes:

I personally don't like fiverr, but wish you all the best!

Thank you. Why don't you like fiverr?
