What is Fiverr?
Fiverr.com is the leading marketplace for services starting at just $5. Lots of people buy and sell services (and also products) everyday through Fiverr.com. The available services range from business promotion, social networking and advertisement to funny videos, graphic design, and translations to mention just a few.This offered services are called "GIGS" on Fiverr.
You can find almost anything you need. People from all over the world gather in this website to offer their services and expertise.
Being part of this amazing community is absolutely free, and once you sign up you will be able to purchase services as well as offer your own services and make a good income. If you decide to use Fiverr to make money, you can transfer your earnings to your bank account using PayPal.
The way I see it, Fiverr offers endless opportunities to either get affordable services or making a great income from home. Only you know which way you will take advantage of this great website.
I will now give you some ideas of what you can buy on Fiverr and how to use it.
Promoting your Website, Blog or Business using $5 services
This website offers a whole lot of useful services for people that have websites, blogs and businesses. For example, you can get 1000 facebook Likes for $5 as well as new followers on your twitter account and other social network promotions. Some people will even send thousands of visitors to your website, blog or youtube channel.
One of the best value services offered in Fiverr are the "backlinking" services to improve your SEO. Submitting your website manually to hundreds of wiki sites, search engines, blogs, etc would take you a long time, and that is if you know how to do it to start with. Paying someone $5 to get you indexed and generate backlinks pointing to your website and finish the work in less than 24 hours is absolutely worth it.
With services like these, starting at just $5 you can get your website to the top of the rankings in no time. Get backlinks built, promote your website through facebook and twitter, and get thousands of new visitors sent to your website to help it boost its performance and popularity all for under $30 worth of services.
Buy presents and play pranks
You will find many gigs offering presents going from Christmas presents to birthday and anniversary presents.
When the holiday season is around, or even St. Valentine´s you will start seeing gig offering several options for gifts that are relevant to these special days.
Want Santa to tell your kids to be good? about Santa apologizing for not getting your kids that impossible-to-get gift they so much wanted? You can definitely find that on Fiver.
Did you forget to get a Valentine´s present for your significant other? Some people will offer to compose and interpret a song and others to make a romantic video clip for you. How much better than this can it get for just $5?
Original birthday presents
Want to make an original present? lots of people will turn you or anyone you want into a cartoon or caricature, including Chibi and Southpark style characters.
This make great gifts (or pranks, depending on your intentions). There are also gigs that will turn you into anime style characters and also Simpsons style characters.
Want to add some extra spice? About getting someone to perform a sexy (not porn) dance while singing happy birthday to the person you choose?
You can even get that lonely friend of yours a hot facebook girlfriend that will even leave him love messages on his wall during a whole week for just $5... I know some people will use this one for themselves other than as a present, but hey!...
On the other hand, some people will do a bit more bizarre things for $5. When you see someone that offers to be a creepy secret admirer on video for $5 you know know you won´t find anything that good for that much money anywhere else. Just like this, other people offer to make prank calls and record them for you. I have also seen guys record any message you want wearing nothing but a wool cap and a thong, and trust me, they should pay you for you to see them doing that, but that´s the idea behind these bizarre gigs.
There are over 1,000,000 gigs posted on Fiverr so browse through the categories to find anything you need or want.
Making money on Fiverr.com
Quick services sell much more. Services that can be delivered in just 24 hours are the ones people are mainly looking for. Try to offer service that can be delivered in 24 hours or less.
Delivering your gigs on time and providing high quality services is essential if you want to make money on Fiverr. If your customers are happy with your service, they will in turn leave positive feedback for your gigs and that will attract more buyers as your reputations and trustworthiness will go up.
When posting a new gig, see if other people are offering that same service, and use those gigs as a reference guide. See which of those gigs is getting more orders and pay attention to what keywords that person used on the title, what tags he used for the gig, and how he outlined his description of the gig. This will help your SEO within Fiverr, and also in search engines like Google. Also, see how much other people offer to do for $5, and use that as a reference for your gig as well.
You will have to put some effort into promoting your gig if you want to get more exposure and sales, but you can take advantage of gigs that will help you promote your gig.
Fiverr allows users to use the "gig extras" which simply are a tool to charge extra money to do some extra work. For example, you offer a translation gig for up to 200 words for $5, and give the buyer to purchase a gig extra that will get them up to 1000 words for an extra $20. There´s even a gig extra that allows them to get a rush delivery (you set the time it will take) for an extra $5, $10, etc.
Fiverr is an amazing place to start working from home, and make a supplemental income. However, there are lots of people who make a living out of Fiverr, and have not had to look for a job ever again.
I encourage everyone to sign up, and start either taking advantage of the many things you can get for $5, making money from home with little to no effort, or both!
