Making money online is easy, at least in small quantities. There are a lot of opportunities for someone who knows how to do things, in fact anything can be monetized online. One site that can help you make money by using your skills is Fiverr.com, a website where anyone can offer their services to anyone else for $5. Here’s a few tips on how to effectively use Fiverr to make money.
First, you need to figure out which services you can offer. Perhaps you have a good voice and can offer to create short audio ads. Maybe you have a good appearance and want to provide video reviews about any products the buyer requires. Maybe you’re good at drawing, and you can offer to draw cartoon characters for people. Any skill that’s worth around $5 can be advertised, as long as it can be delivered. They even allow for products to be shipped by mail, although the vast majority of the Fiverr users buy services that can be done over the Internet. It’s much easier and faster to do.
Once you know what services you can do, you can then create yourself an account and add these services, called “gigs”. You can add any number of gigs you want, and you should add as many as you can, featuring all your skills, because you never know what will be in demand. When you create a gig, you have to put in a description, a message for buyers as to what you require to complete the gig, and an optional image and video. It’s highly suggested that you add both an image and, if applicable, a video, because it makes it more attractive to potential buyers. Also, when you put in your image, make sure it’s something that’s related to the type of gig you offer. You should remain professional and not try to mislead potential buyers.
A great benefit of Fiverr is that you’re always sure to be paid. While the site itself does take a $1 fee on every transaction, leaving you with $4, you always know that as long as you deliver the service, you will be paid. Then, the buyer can leave a positive or negative review. Having a good score is crucial so that others will buy services from you, so you need to do a good job on each order. Also, if you offer gigs in less than 24 hours, you can be classified as an “Express” gig, which will bring you more clients.
Using Fiverr to make money probably won’t make you rich, although there are people who get hundreds of clients on that site. But it is a good way to make some extra income. You can advertise your Fiverr gigs on a forum or email signature, and point people there to get services from you. Also of note is the fact that there are many clone sites that have appeared, doing the same thing as Fiverr but for different amounts, like $10 or $25, but Fiverr seems like it’s still the most popular out there.
