Firstly I’m assuming most of you know what Fiverr is, but just in case there are readers who want a better understand Fiverr, it is a marketplace for gigs that are priced at $5. Essentially, you can sell and buy tasks for $5. So anyone can create a gig for small service on the site, and visitors can accept gigs as well. Gig prices are fixed at $5. Buyers can order gigs and are required to pay for the gig in advance.

Tasks are divided into categories, including Funny and Bizarre, Social Marketing, Graphics, Writing, Technology, Business, Programming, etc.

Fiverr posts buyer feedback on people who perform tasks. Task performers will be given a positive feedback score, which can be seen by users who are considering hiring them for gigs.

Fiverr itself takes one dollar from the seller for each sale, so the seller makes 4 dollars per sale. The reaction you might get right now is skepticism. But think about it. Think about all the successful dollar store chains across America, think of all the McDonald's and Starbucks coffee shops around the world. It’s not about how much profit you can make per sale, it’s about how you make those sales what the markup is and how many sales you can make. Fiverr is a brilliant landscape, now the key to playing the game right is to match its brilliance.

I see many gigs on Fiverr that have been there for months or years without even a single order, these are likely the people who look down on Fiverr so much because they themselves were not able to have any success. I have noticed out of all the users on Fiverr maybe only about 15 to 20% make hundreds to thousands of dollars a month. While the rest earn just enough to go out to a decent restaurant a couple times a month with the earnings if even that. And out of that 15-20% only about 1% earns up to several thousand a month.

I have laid out several of my Golden Rules that must be applied, if these rules are met you will see great success as a seller.

Once you start getting gigs, the ability to add extra gigs to the initial gig come available.

Thanks so much for all the details and explanations here. It's good to know how to make a gig stand out on this site that has so many of them, even in a single category.

I spent many years working in audio and video production... it is very automated. For a 30 second voice-over... someone who knows what they are doing could comfortably knock-out 30-40 30sec VO's in an hour. That's $150-$200 per hour @ Fiverr's $5 gig price... Work 2-3 hours a day... not a bad day at all. Of course that doesn't include the up-sells listed on the demo page (if they have a demo). Most of the top rated one's do. I used to syndicate high impact radio and TV coast to coast and I can tell you with radio 30sec spots we knocked out 45 an hour at $99each. I am certainly glad I was not competing with $5 gigs. Thanks for the Fiverr seller rules
