Fiverr is
an online marketplace for freelance
services. Founded in 2010
and based in Tel Aviv, Israel, the company provides a platform
for freelancers to offer
services to customers worldwide.
Fiverr was founded by Micha Kaufman and
Shai Wininger, and was launched in February 2010. The founders came up with the
concept of a marketplace that would
provide a two sided platform for
people to buy and sell a variety of digital services typically offered by
freelance contractors. Services offered on the site include writing,
translation, graphic design, video editing and programming.

Ways To Make Money On Fiverr
Fiverr.com has exploded as the premier source of micro
outsourced services on the Internet. Thanks to a multi-million dollar
advertising campaign, it is increasingly very hard to find people who haven’t
at least heard of Fiverr. Not surprisingly, more and more businesses, both
online and offline, are using the services offered on Fiverr.
As Fiverr’s ability to draw
clients continues to explode, the good news is that there is more and more
demand for whatever services you offer to the global market for digital
services. Here are just fifteen ways you can make money on Fiverr.com.
Sure, it may seem you aren’t getting paid much but if you are able to knock out
these services in a very short period of time, and stack them with valuable
extras, your income from Fiverr might translate to quite a hefty stash of cash.
Offer ebooks or reports you’ve written
Most of the services on Fiverr
require that you work on a custom job for you to get paid. In other words, the
client sends you specifications and you produce fresh materials based on those
specifications. One of my most favorite ways of making money online turns that
business model on its head. Instead of you working on new materials for every
$5 order that comes your way, you can instead write a book or report once and
sell it again and again to different customers. As long as you clearly spell
out that you’re not selling resale rights to your work and that you retain all
copyright, you should be good to go.
Offer social media services
It is not a surprise that a huge
chunk of services offered on Fiverr involve Twitter posts, Facebook promotions,
or Google Plus promotions. People are desperate to get traffic to their
websites and they don’t mind paying $5 to drive traffic to their web pages.
Write quickly and get paid
If you are able to write very
quickly, you can get paid handsomely. Seriously. If you are able to knock out
400 words in 12 minutes or less, you can rack up a base rate of $25 per hour.
Not too shabby. The key is to write high quality materials so your buyers will
keep coming back.
Use
marketing software to get paid
There are all sorts of traffic generation software that you can
use for a few minutes to promote clients’ sites. If the software doesn’t take
much work to set up, you can make $5 for as little as a minute. That leads to a
gross rate of $300 an hour.
Create
digital drawings
If you know how to use automated photo-based drawing tools, you
can create digital drawings in no time flat. People are always looking for
custom graphics based on their pictures.
Research
Get paid to use Google for a research project. As long as you
make sure that your research is tightly focused, you should be able to do
research in a very short period of time.
Become a
virtual assistant
Depending on the country you live in, you can probably make a
decent living selling an hour or two of your time doing virtual assistant work
for clients you find on Fiverr.
Alter
pictures
If you know how to clear the background off a picture using
Photoshop, you can make some serious coin through Fiverr. People are always
looking to get the background cropped off their pictures so they can use those
pictures online.
Design
business cards
Companies are always in need of business cards and there is no
shortage of demand for people with fairly basic graphics skills who can design
business cards.
Take
pictures with signs
One of the easiest ways to make money off Fiverr is to take a
picture of you holding up a sign standing next to a landmark in your area.
Design
flyers
As the online entrepreneurship boom continues to grow, the needs
for graphic design has increased exponentially.
Write a
review
If you are a fast writer and can knock out a 400 word review in
less than 12 or 10 minutes, this can be a great gig to offer. People are always
in need of reviews since consumers often buy products or services after reading
a review.
Make a
video testimonial
If you look presentable and can speak professionally in front of
a camera, you should offer video testimonials. This type of gig is constantly
one of Fiverr’s top sellers.
Use
software to produce SEO diagnostic results
There are tons of software that diagnose how healthy a site is
in terms of SEO. You can buy such a piece of software and offer to do custom
diagnoses on Fiverr. Since these software packages don’t take too long to
operate, you can make quite a bit of cash.
Use
software to find SEO keywords
The same analysis for SEO diagnosis above applies to SEO
keywords. The big difference is you’re producing a report composed of keywords.
There’s a huge demand for this service.
Regardless of your skill level, there something you can offer
the global market for outsourced services. Get started on Fiverr today and
start turning your spare time into spare cash.
