I tried selling on Fiverr for 30 days.

Is becoming a new seller on Fiverr worth it or is the market completely over-saturated? I spent one month on Fiverr trying to get solid gigs to earn some decent side income.
Something to note: I'm making the assumption that one already owns/pays for the necessary hardware and software to complete the Fiverr gigs. The thought here is that Fiverr would be in addition to freelance income from other sources. Of course, you could take into account the cost of the Adobe CC subscription ($30/mo) and any other expenses if you'd like to subtract that from your revenue to find your actual profit from Fiverr.

I'm here two years later to thank you for this video. I've made way over 20K since i've started on Fiverr, and that might not sound like much for many people, but i live in Brazil, and that is way over the average income of Brazilian people. I was able to buy my car, rent a very big apartment, and at this point, i'm even hiring more people to expand my business! Thank you so much for this video!!! With love from Brazil!

[@DanielInskeep]

wow, thanks for sharing your success! congrats.

[@Gabriel_Aybar]

May i ask what your services are?

[@sham8816]

Congratulations man!

[@Cl-ue7wn]

You are the living proof of what i said in another comment, it's great for people in countries like yours, where 5$ USD goes a long way ( very happy for you BTW 🤗) but in Canada, 5$ is pocket change. Canadians or Americans can't compete with gigs from people in Brazil, Colombia, India...

[@LucasWilluweit]

@@Cl-ue7wn I understand your point, but i don't think you're right. I've started charging $5 USD on my gigs, today i earn 1-2 average monthly salaries of an regular American citizen. The thing you learn by beign a freelancer on Fiverr is that if you're getting in to do what everyone else is doing, that isn't going to work at all. You've to start small, but get as good as you can, always learning, improving and trying to be the best on your nieche

[@echodolo]

they take 20% ? Should change their name to Fourr , since thats all you take home.

[@adtc]

Yes, 20% is painfully huge. The site runners are raking in huge money while sellers suffer. 5% would have been more than enough to be fair and true to the Fiverr name.

[@rama7731]

Fr, their platform is not even resource demanding like youtube, cheap server is enough to run that website.. so greedy

[@Slanghomy]

​@@adtc 20% is true to the Fiverr name - it's one-fifth! Ha ha...

[@Sacrosaunt]

@@rama7731 I agree, but the cut they take isn't for server costs, it's your payment to them because they brought you a customer and provided a platform for you.

[@abdulrashid2143]

not only this you will get your money after 14 days when you withdraw they will also cut fess, another when you want your gigs to be promoted you have to pay for it and additionally they will also charge from the buyers as well

Hi Daniel, I watch a lot of how to make money online channels but most don't provide this kind of authenticity and value. So I also wanted to start one pretty much like what you are doing that can give people actionable advise not just to clickbait people and earn ad revenue without helping the viewer. You are great at what you do and this channel will blow up. Keep at it and God bless.

The other fact is that Fiverr takes a huge fee from both buyers and sellers. Living with it, adding all tax you have to pay as well becomes tough in respect to KZbin or Amazon programs.. between these Fiverr has the highest work time over revenue ratio.

[@bai]

@Ronin 98 Yes, other 5% to add... :)

[@eldinarifovic3903]

Do you need channel art or thumbnail designer?

[@bvgaboo3572]

Fivver is a race to the bottom just like crowdsourcing sites majority of the creators are from third world countries just trying to make a buck. While the target market audience for these sites are for people who don't want to pay at least minimum wage and don't know true value or real quality work and suffer with damages from making that poor decision of not working with real professionals. Any professional who knows true value stay away from rat race sites like these.

I started a fiverr for making animated lyric videos. I definitely starts out really slow, but as things get rolling, they seem to roll in bunches. I will go weeks without any orders, then suddenly I'll get 2 or 3 in the same day or two. I am still not getting a ton of orders, but I've made about 330$ from maybe 9 orders. I might try that favorite exchanging thing, though. Could definitely see that helping a lot.

I recently went on Fiverr as a Buyer and I've got to say it's a really neat site that's been around for a long long time. The sad thing in my case though, is that I have a hard time pin-pointing something that I'm well versed in; at least enough to feel confident selling services based around. Always thinking and looking for opportunities though which I think is an important first step at least!

I do fiverr recently, and took me almost two weeks to get my first buyer. Then, he gave me job every week. The first time doing it, it is 4 revision. Then, I improved my skills a little since I know what the client wants. Then, another gig with new buyer but so many revision to do it. I almost give up since I priced as low as 5-10 dollars to do animation 2d video. Wish me luck.

[@kuiio8058]

I'm kinda in the same boat as you, it took me 3 weeks to get my first client and he wanted a lot of revisions which I was happy to do since he was my first customer. I do game montage video editing and my prices range from 5-20 dollars, and he maxxed out the order to do the 20 dollar one plus 10 dollars which was two day shipping. at the end I worked about 5 hours in total for him, and luckily he tipped me 30 dollars so I made 48 net after fiverr took the it's cut.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Fiverr is great for buyers looking for the best deal. I felt like I was competing against people who charge close to nothing for their gigs. I think it might be a great option if you live in countries where 5$ USD goes a long way, but I'm in Canada, 5$ is pocket change.
