Selling your skills on Fiverr is just another way to Make Money Online / Work from Home.

There are several other ways I make money online which you can which I share on my website.  When working from home this can be additional income or your main source of income.

Fiverr does have fees, because let’s face they are in business to make money also.  They take 20% of all income you earn so you keep 80% so charge wisely.

Once the Gig is complete the money is transferred to your account.

 

Buyer on Fiverr

As a Buyer on Fiverr it’s a great and simple way to grow your business without the overhead.  Hiring employees can get expenses with the taxes and equipment that is needed.  Finding employees to work just for one project can be difficult because employees are looking for steady work.

This is where Fiverr comes in, with Fiverr you hire on an as-needed project basis.  If you have a task that needs to be completed in a certain amount of time hire a freelancer, instead of an employee.

You will have to create a Free account first as a Buyer in order to search for freelancers.

   

There are many skilled individuals willing to work on an as-needed basis.  Since it’s a global website freelancer are working in different time zones.

You can hire someone to create anything from Logos to Voice Over Messages.  You can even hire someone to cast a powerful love spell on you, Yes that is an actual Gig.   There is a lot of talent around the world and it’s right at your fingertips.

Here are just a few things you can hire someone to do for you:

Start by choosing from a category at the top of the screen, which is the most popular ones.  Then choose by subcategories to narrow down your search.  Use the search and filter feature to find the skill you are looking for.

Filters Include:

Once you find someone you would like to hire be sure you check out their profile.  You can see freelancer’s work samples, read reviews on what other buyers thought about the work that was done by the freelancer.

Choose a package that fits your needs, whether it’s unlimited changes or only two changes to a Gig.  Ask the freelancer questions before you hire them so you know exactly what is expected.  Get comfortable with the person before you put out any money.

Paying for Fiverr Services

You do not pay for services until the Gig is completed.  Fiverr wants to make sure you are happy with the service you received, therefore if for some reason you are not happy.  Fiverr suggest that you contact the seller for additional revisions and resolve the issues.

Fiverr accepts several payment types to pay for services.

Credit and Debit cards information can be saved for future purchases and fast checkout.

The Fiverr Review

Fiverr is an amazing platform for buyers and sellers.  If you are a stay at home mom/dad, college student, retired person, or just someone who wants to sell their skills for income this is a great place to do that.

They offer great opportunities for anyone that joins Fiverr both as a seller and buyer.  Just like any new business whether it’s online or in your local area you need to get the word out about your services.

Customers will come and find you if you create a great brand that others can trust.  So make sure, to be honest, straightforward, and work hard.  

If you do that you can make great money with Fiverr or get all those tasks you have been putting off completed.

Like with any company there are always dissatisfied customers so make sure you read about the person you are hiring.  Even though you are just hiring them for a Gig you still want to job done correctly.

You won’t just hire someone without reading their resume, would you?  Make sure you read the reviews and ask questions from both sides as a buyer and seller.
