Work on Fiverr as a Freelancer

Fiverr was started in 2009 as a freelance site.   It is a large market place where people search for all sorts of services to sell or buy.  Sellers indicate a task to perform for the payment of initial $5; hence the name Fiverr.  Jobs performed are known as Gigs.   It is a site for freelancers to expand their services and build a reputation in their niche.

A perfect gig on Fiverr could be something you can do literally in a few minutes or hours, but which a lot of other people cannot do.   There is the need to study the platform to find out what others are offering so as to know what service you can offer.

The most important principles required on Fiverr are:

• truth
• respect, and
• professionalism

As you undertake one skill successfully, you can add other skills you have as well.

It is allowed to hire other freelancers on Fiverr to do aspects of the tasks in order to save yourself time.

Working on Fiverr is not a matter of paying peanuts for monkeys; as you go through various levels, and augment your services.   Charges can go up to between $100 and $500 for high-level sellers.
