How to make money with Fiverr

Fiverr was designed to give users the ability to purchase digital services from a variety of world-class providers.

Founded in 2011, it has grown rapidly, with more than 8,000,000 “concerts” purchased through the platform in 2015 alone.

While this may sound great, the big question is whether you can make money from it too.

To answer this, I have found that it is best to consider the overall scope of the market and where you can make some progress with it …

Having spent the last 5 months working with various people on the platform, the one What I have found that determines whether someone will be successful is how they can position your offer.

For most people, and women are particularly bad at this, they will basically list what they can “do” with some examples from past work.

Maybe this works well for high-end photographers, but for everyone else, it’s a recipe for disaster.

People want to know how you are going to move your business / life forward, not what you can do.

For example, you may be a “world-class surgeon,” but how does that translate into the type of treatment you can provide to patients? What is your specialty? What have you done before that other surgeons wouldn’t touch?

In the western world, we have reached a point where social media has practically debunked the myth of the “faceless business”: people want to know who who they are dealing with and want the best services delivered directly to them.

To this end, when considering what you can do with the platform, you need to follow a number of steps:

–

1. Lead with YOUR experience

The first BIG thing I found was leading with your experience.

If you don’t have any experience, you just have to say that you are eager to learn, the idea is that people will use your services because they want to help you improve, etc.

Every time I see someone who has been successful on the platform, forever Lead with your expertise above all else.

The best platform providers are very specific with what they offer, because they will always mold it around the experience that they have developed in the “real world”.

A big mistake many different people make is simply trying to sell a service because they think it is popular (SEO / WordPress design, etc.). ADB way of doing things, and it will usually inhibit growth, as it will not provide very good results.

While the initial rush to make money may be good, bad customer reviews will kill any aspirations you may have. Therefore, the country in the long run to focus on what you can actually do (not what you think people want to pay for).

2. See what is sold

Some things will be more popular than others, although you shouldn’t “copy” other people’s work, it is always healthy to see what is popular and what is not.

As for the way you do it, there are two methods:

• Look Popular accounts

• Look Popular Products / Services

The first method is to try to identify popular “accounts” on the platform and “reverse engineer” how they have been so successful. Usually this opens the door to looking at the various popular “markets” through which they have been selling their concerts:

• Click on Fiverr

• At the top, select one of the “themes” from the navigation bar.

• Select a sub-topic (make sure both are quite popular (Digital Marketing> Social Media Marketing)

• In the menu on the left, select “Level Two” + “Top Rated” in the “Seller Rating” section.

• Also enter at least $ 100 in the “Price Range” section

• Make sure your listings are sorted by “Best Sellers” and start clicking on the ones that seem popular.

• If you find something appealing to you, click on the seller’s “profile”.

• This will give you an overview of your entire gig portfolio.

The second method is to search for any product / service that is generally popular. While you shouldn’t be generic in what you offer, you should be able to consider the “language” through which your audience may wish to communicate.

• Click on Fiverr

• At the top, select one of the “themes” from the navigation bar that appeal to your experience

• Select a subtopic that is more attractive

• Make sure your ads are sorted by “Best Sellers”.

• Scroll and find the small number after the initial rating

• For example, you can have 5 stars + “1k”

• The “1k” represents the number of people who bought the concert and left a good review.

• It directly denotes the popularity of the concert and therefore whether it is something to consider.

As mentioned, both methods should only be used to get a “lay of the land” – entry-level research designed to give you more insights into what’s popular on the platform.

3. Create your own offers ON DEMAND

After doing the above, you must create an “on demand” offer.

Demand is a loaded word; the key is that most people just want to know what to do for them.

The problem is that most people will just try to tell you what they “do” or what they think you want to hear. This does not work.

What works is having a system that allows you to “offer” your services in such a way that people instantly understand the underlying benefits to your business.

For example, one of my Fiverr profiles specializes in computer repair.

Computer repair is not the most attractive or the most abundant market today. In the 90s, being a “PC repair” guy meant a lot of money … not in 2018.

Therefore, to create a supply “on demand” (because computers are still used, even more than in the 90s, only in different ways), you have to go with the “demand”:

• Worpress repairs

• Cloud VPS Provisioning and Management

• Shopify landlines

Now, although they are fine, the BIG problem here is that there is not much demand for them. People don’t “want” to buy them.

That people want paying are the reasons “why” they are using the aforementioned software packages: traffic, growth + sales.

So you wrap everything you are doing in the “growth” package …

• 5 new tweaks to the WordPress theme to increase conversions by 20%

• Increase traffic with new WordPress settings

• Create a SAAS subscription business with Cloud VPS

• Boost Shopify Sales With These 3 Theme Tweaks

Obviously, there is an art to this – if you can do it effectively, you can attract orders from a large number of buyers.

4. Understand what people are buying

Obviously people are buying a fix / upgrade, but in essence, you need to understand that most people will not be willing to send you money for mediocre service; they want exceptional.

Exceptional does not mean “quality”, it means “results”.

Therefore, when considering the process of working with clients (if you receive orders), you have to do absolutely everything to boost your business / life.

As explained above, things like wrapping the offer in underlying results (for them), going the extra mile to help them understand what you’ve done, or simply doing more than expected – if you treat your customers with respect and energy, start receive decent reviews.

These good reviews are the ones that * should * perpetuate the growth of the service.

5. Make sure the “back-end” is handled correctly

If you want to get into the big leagues, the absolute key is making sure your business can handle a greater number of orders.

While it may be nice to get 5 new orders, if you want to keep your momentum going, you need to think about what handling 500+ orders will be like.

To this end, one of the best things you can do is focus on how the “back end” of your business is managed.

Things like Trustpilot integration, creating a YouTube channel, Facebook page, Twitter feed, etc. they are small things to keep customers in their “loop” (and thus have the ability to continue providing their services “on demand” at a later date).

In the sales world, it’s known as a “funnel” – the deeper the customer goes, the more valuable they become.

Obviously, you have to respect everyone’s ideas, etc., but from a purely pragmatic perspective, you should be able to consider how you are going to continue to “recycle” the buyers that Fiverr brings in.

If you do this effectively, which can include everything from setting up a CRM system to integrating email marketing campaigns into your services, you will end up with exponential increases in sales.

How you handle this growth depends on your experience / temperament, but the bottom line is that the business is out there if you are willing to focus on demand.

As mentioned, I made $ 2,500 in my first month with my friend on Fiverr, and since then I have worked on various offers on two of my own profiles.

If you follow the steps above, you will be ahead of 98% of people who start on the platform.
