INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! You have just taken the first step toward
becoming a profitable use of Fiverr. Having knowledge is
useless unless you are willing to act on the knowledge you have;
buying this book is the first action you have taken toward
applying knowledge to your success!
You are likely wondering why this book is different from other
information about Fiverr you have heard before. The methods in
this book are related to using only one kind of service which
converts to another, more valuable, use which runs without
much effort from you. Curious yet?
Your goal is to make money through minimal effort and
replication. If you examine the system in place closely, you will
find several opportunities to do this.
If you are looking for motivational speeches or fancy wordplay,
you are looking in the wrong place. This book will get straight
into the specific actions you will need to take to earn money. If
having a specific plan of action isnt enough to make you begin
to work, you may be in the wrong place.
SO WHAT IS FIVERR ANYWAY?
I assume that since you bought this book, you already know
something about Fiverr. However, some of you may have
picked this book up out of curiosity, without any prior
knowledge, so let me take a moment to fill you in. Fiverr is a
web-based marketplace that allows users to buy and sell services
for $5. Anyone can create a listing for a small service on the site
or purchase a service. The fixed price for any job is $5. A buyer
orders services and is required to pay for it in advance.
Services are placed into categorized by Funny and Bizarre,
Social Marketing, Graphics, Writing, Technology, Business,
Silly Stuff, and Programming. There is a place for buyer
feedback on the people who provide services, which helps
others buyers choose which vendors to purchase services from.
One dollar from each sale goes to Fiverr, meaning the vendor
(you) make $4 per task. When most people hear about Fiverr,
their initial response is skepticism. They either dont believe you
can actually make money at it, or they make fun of the people
who do. Unfortunately, this lack of vision will prevent them
from being successful on the site.
Think about it for a minute, though. How many successful dollar
stores are there in your community and in other communities
across America? How much money has McDonalds made over
the years? The key to success isnt the size of the sale you make,
but how many sales you make and what the profit margin of
each one is.
I have noticed that there are many jobs on Fiverr that have been
listed for a long time with no orders. Others may make enough
to enjoy an evening out a couple of times of month. However, I
have also noticed that 15-20% of the jobs listed can make
hundreds, or even thousands, of dollars per month.
Of the 15-20% who are very successful, about 1% is WILDLY
successful, earning several thousand per month. The purpose of
this book is to teach you to methods of that 1%. There are plenty
of tips and tricks to help you achieve that level of success.
Once we have covered the best way to earn as a Fiverr seller, we
will look to earnings as a Fiverr outsourcer, examining several
methods for outsourcing. That is where the real money can be
earned!
A key principal as a seller or reseller on Fiverr is to generate
multiple income streams. Later in the book, we will go into
specifics about what that means and how to do it. First,
however, we need to examine how to earn money as a regular
seller/vendor. There are several basic rules you must apply to
see success.
THE RULES
1. You MUST upload a video for each listing you post.
This is probably the most important rule of them all.
Including a video makes a huge difference to the success
of your listing. In your videos, be entertaining and
engaging. This will make you memorable to the buyers.
There are many, many listings on Fiverr. Some of them
may even be better deals than yours. However, if you
provide a video that is clear, to the point, and
memorable, you are much more likely to get sales.
Speaking well and using humor will increase the
likelihood of getting a sale by about 75%.
You should also mention Fiverr.com at least once time.
Moderators watch every video uploaded, and having
more than one mention of Fiverr in your video makes it
more likely that they will place you on the first page.
2. Make sure your title is creative and eye-catching.
Which title would you be more likely to click on: I will
sing a song for $5 or PROFESSIONAL song by an
amazing singer for $5?
Be sure to use active verbs to say what you will do and
include descriptive words.
Fiverr has a policy that only one word in a title may be
in all caps. Choose the word you want to capitalize
carefully. You are trying to catch the eye of the buyer.
For jobs you can do quickly, add Within 24 hours to
your title. Sales should increase by 10-20% for this
added perk.
3. Use a custom picture on your listing.
Fiverr requires you to upload a picture about the job you
are listing, in addition to a video. Before posting a
listing, use Photoshop, or even Paint, to create your own
picture instead of using a generic picture you find online.
Taking the time to customize will help set you apart
from the people who just found some clip art online. If
you cant create something that looks professional for
yourself, consider asking a friend to help you or even use
Fiverr to find someone who can do it!
4. Make sure your description is specific and well-written.
When you write a description, make sure you include all
the details of the job, instead of just making a general
statement. This is your sales pitch; you want to explain
what makes your service better than the next guys, what
exactly is involved in the service, and what the features
are. The more professional you sound, the more likely
you are to get a customer, so make sure you check your
grammar and spelling. Even though buyers are only
spending $5, they still dont want to throw it away. If
you take a little extra time to make sure your description
is articulate and detailed, you will attract more buyers.
5. Be an individual!
It is unlikely that you will be the only one posting a
particular service on the site. So how do you stand out
from the crowd? Figure out what makes you uniqu
