Without further ado, let’s learn how to make money on Fiverr.
What is Fiverr?
Fiverr is a global marketplace
where people can buy and/or sell services online. Services start from $5
(that’s why Fiverr is called FIVErr). But, as you make more sales, you can earn
a lot of money from home.
Fiverr service providers are
freelancers. Freelancers or Freelance workers are self-employed individuals who
do not necessarily commit to a particular employer in the long term.
That means once you complete your
service, you are not moreover allocated to the buyer. (However, according to
terms of service, you may be required to revise your work. More about that
later…)
Many employers have started
providing freelancing services with the flexibility, freedom, and ability to
make more money from home anytime.
According to the Freelance Industry Report 2012, nearly half of conducted freelancers do writing works (i.e., copywriting, blog post writing, proofreading, testimonials, translation, etc.)
Not just content writing, other
fields such as SEO (Search Engine Optimization), PPC (Pay Per Click), SEM
(Search Engine Marketing), SMM (Social Media Marketing), Video Marketing, Paid
Advertising, Programming, and web design have become better popularity and
hence in competitiveness and quality of typical services.
In fact, fields like data entry,
virtual assistance, and short and one-time, part-time jobs like data scraping,
reports, auditing, etc., have greatly boosted in the last couple of years.
According to Freelancing in
America 2017 annual report conducted by Freelancers Union & UpWork, the
majority of the workforce of the United States is projected to be freelancers
by 2027.
In the report, there’s an intriguing statement:
“Nearly two-thirds (63%) of freelancers told us that having a diversified portfolio of clients is more secure than having a single employer“
Why is Fiverr a better option for beginners?
Sure enough, there are a few
other freelancing networks, like Freelancer.com. UpWork.com, Guru.com, and
Envato Network.
However, unless you are not a
professional in your field or know what you’re precisely doing first, you
shouldn’t tap into those networks first.
Why the hell should you not give
those networks a try?
Sure, you can. But, unless you
don’t want to get frustrated and be faced with complicated situations, you
shouldn’t try them at first.
It’s like fighting a small fish
with big sharks in the ocean. (e.g., Professional vs. novice)
Although you can try micro task
websites such as SproutGigs.com, payments on those sites are very, very low,
which is not worth your time, actually.
Once you have the necessary
knowledge, experience, and routine, you can tap into those big markets and get
higher pay.
On the other hand, starting to make Money on Fiverr is not a bad idea.
Here are why:
- Fiverr is famous as a platform where quality workers can be found for a low price.
- Thus the above reason, there’re always lots of BUYERS.
- Those buyers usually purchase because they know they spend a little compared to other freelancer networks.
- And most of those buyers are looking for quick results. They usually don’t wait for weeks or research intensively before purchasing the mythological “perfect” gig.
- Therefore, those may end up buying your gig. Keeping buyers aside, Fiverr is a simple network where EVERYONE can start a gig today without spending hours.
- You don’t need prequalifications to start a gig on Fiverr.
- You won’t face exams or tests.
- Lots of ways to increase your revenue besides offering different pricing tiers.
- Lots of ways to make Money on Fiverr (There is no exact formula for gigs. You can advertise any sort of skill or capability and make money.)
Here are three other reasons why I think you should start on Fiverr.
- It’s Quick: Having the simplest idea might be sufficient to make a quick monthly income from providing services on Fiverr. Ex: With AI and tools, background removal from images is quicker and easier than ever nowadays.
- As a side income stream: Do you already have a job or business? Then, Fiverr can be a great place to make an additional income.
- Money for new business: If you do not have enough funds to start a business, starting on Fiverr will be a great opportunity to learn and raise funds.
Now, as you know, Fiverr is the best place for you to start your internet marketing career as a novice. Let’s find out the best Fiverr gig ideas to make money online fast.

It’s actually unbelievable to see there is not a single gig related to brand mention tracking and reporting on Fiverr. (At the moment of writing this article)
It means there is an excellent opportunity for you to start a brand mention tracking and reporting gig on Fiverr today and make money.
These days, it’s really difficult to find a business that isn’t using social media to increase brand awareness and grow business.
Brand mention tracking allows businesses to find channels and sources where the business is mentioned and listen to the conversations.
You can create a Fiverr gig to provide brand mention reports on specific social networks, forums, and websites.
For example, you can provide services to offer reports for brand mention activity on the Reddit social network.

As the brand mentions tracking is a tough job, and most web monitoring tools cannot monitor websites like Reddit and some forums except Awario. You can charge a high fee.
How to Promote Your Service on Fiverr
Now you’ve found four ways to make money on the Fiverr freelancing platform. The beauty of Fiverr is that the minimum gig price is $5, and you add extra add-ons to your primary offer.
For example, if you’re offering website audit reports, you can provide extra add-ons for custom reports, white-label reports, etc.
Fiverr takes 20% of the revenue you make through their platform. The customer/buyer has to pay the PayPal fee.
Here are a few tips to consider when listing your service on Fiverr:
- Title: Write a short and appealing headline that is user and SEO-friendly. Highlight special terms by using all Caps Lock keys. Ex: I will record 10 MINS explainer Video of your product for $5
- Description: Make use of all characters as possible. Use bold, italic, and highlight style formats to make your explanation more enticing. Make sure you include a few keywords in the descriptions. The more relevant words you add, your gig will rank for more Long Tail Keywords in Fiverr and other search engines.
- Images: Highlight your service by adding a few photos. You can use graphic designers like Canva, Stencil, or Pixeteller to make featured images. Also, use a tool like ShortPixel if your graphics are large in file size.
- Tags: Tags are a critical ranking factor in the Fiverr search algorithm. Using irrelevant tags for your Gigs will cause minor traffic and a terrible conversion rate. So search on Fiverr a bit deeper to find relevant services and their tags.
- PDF: If you offer services like Website SEO Audit reports, social media reports, keywords research reports, etc., then showing some examples of your works will help in increasing the conversion rate.
- Video: Fiverr has found that sellers who present their services on videos sell 220% or more than Gigs without videos. Create an explainer video about your gig and upload it to Fiverr. You can hire someone on Fiverr to create an explainer video.
The above tips are essential to rank your service on Fiverr and increase sales. Also, you could do a few things to get more cash-in-hand customers to your Fiverr landing page.
- Promote your gig on social media repeatedly

How to Increase Your Fiverr Earnings per Gig
Fiverr is one of the best money-making opportunities you would get as a kid, teenager, student, employee, housewife, and pensioner.
There are a lot of people who earn thousands of dollars each month through Fiverr. If you are finding legitimate money-making ideas that will make you a living, then Fiverr is one of those sources.
Here are a few tips to increase Fiverr earnings fast.
Offer Gig Extras
Remember the extra offers you see when checking out on Amazon?
Backend is where most sellers make most of their money from Fiverr. Let’s assume you’re offering Website SEO Audit reports. You can provide these gig extras.
- Provide report in HTML file format.
- Provide Site Visualization graphic based on inLink rank and traffic.
- Provide Content Analysis services.
- Offer Keyword ranking and optimization suggestions.
- Provide a TF-IDF report for keywords.
- Provide Domain Strength report.
These Value-added services will surely help you increase your earnings by at least 100%.
Extra Fast
People want to save time. Therefore, they prefer getting their services done as quickly as possible.
You can get customers paid for getting their services done within one day. I have seen some graphic designers charge $20 just for the extra fast feature, but they charge only $5 for the basic service.
Maintain the response time at a better rate
People check your past service record before hitting the Buy button.
If they see your average response rate is higher than expected, I don’t think most people would consider purchasing the Fiverr Gig.
Install the Fiverr app on your iOS and Android phones to ensure you can communicate with your potential customers even if you’re not near your computer.
Orders in Queue
This is another objection that conduces to lower the conversion rate. If hundreds of orders are in the queue, people might think about your gig in two different ways.
- This person should provide a high-quality service.
- It seems like I won’t be able to get my service done quickly.
Therefore, to get more orders on Fiverr, you should complete more orders quickly. If you have a team spread out in different locations, Slack can help in team communication and collaboration.
Days on Average
This is another factor that might affect your Fiverr sales. As your gig becomes more popular, many more people will prefer to hire you.
Hence you will get more orders, and Orders-in-queue will increase every day. And you’ll find it’s more challenging to complete all orders quickly. Therefore, you have THREE options:
- Increase the fee: You will lose some sales
- Increase delivery time: You will lose some sales
- Hire people to improve service efficiency: More preferable
Even in many cases, the very first two options above help in making you more money, you shouldn’t play with your customers. Always try to maintain an excellent substantial delivery time while you charge a fair fee.
In fact, Fiverr has added an option to filter search results by average delivery time.
Tips to Become Extraordinary on Fiverr and Beyond
Top Fiverr sellers have become famous and make lots of money for a reason…
They think creatively (mostly outside the box) and structure their Fiverr gigs before considering the optimal title for the Fiverr Gig.
Mindset is for everything; success and failure.
Here are a few golden tips to step up your Fiverr gig and stay a step ahead of other sellers.
- Over-deliver your all customers (satisfy your clients to come back and recommend your service to others)
- Offer discounts for recurring customers.
- Build relationships with your clients. It’s better if you start building an email list of your buyers.
- Ask loyal customers to review your service.
- Display the Fiverr seller’s badge on your website. Here’s a guide to starting a blog on WordPress if you don’t have a blog.
- Use Live chat widget prompts to promote your Fiverr services on your website. Read this guide to set up Gist on your site.
- Use Awario to find potential customers looking for the same service you’re offering on Fiverr. Track specific buyer keywords such as “Looking for an SEO consultant,” “How to improve my website SEO,” etc., if you want to sell your SEO services.
- Move your business from Fiverr to your platform. Fiverr is good because it has ready-to-purchase customers. However, for some reason, you should consider moving your business from Fiverr. I recommend ThriveCart to create stunning and high-converting checkout pages.
- Use Omnify to build your service store. Once you have direct clients, you should consider using a service like Omnify to sell your services.
