You basically set up a gig that you are wiling to do for $5. You complete the gig, Fiverr takes $1 and you get paid $4. The only downfall is that Fiverr holds your payment for up to 2 weeks. But then you get paid. While $4 doesn't seem like much--after awhile---it adds up quick! Especially after you have many orders!
I wrote an article explaining more about Fiverr.com and if you are interested in making an income doing whatever kind of task you want for $5 (some are even as strange as singing Happy Birthday Marilyn Monroe style for $5),
then check out my article:
THe Business Benefits of Fiverr.com
One of the problems I found with fiverr is that only offering $5 gigs can be rather limiting to those of us who value the services we would like to offer and don’t think it is worthwhile to offer for only $5.
ReplyDeleteThere are several other sites out there now that allow you to post gigs for more than $5. One of them I am starting to use is http://fora20.com which allows me to post gigs for $20 instead of $5. The reason they did this is exactly for the reason I stated above.
Don’t get me wrong, I still use fiverr, but the services I want to make more money off of I list on http://fora20.com. Just like fiverr, it is free to sign up and you only pay if you sell a gig.
Another cool thing is that you can select to have your gig ‘featured’ instead of hoping like you have to on fiverr. FORa20 charges a premium for this service but it is well worth it if you get more gigs sold as a result.
Thanks for all your valuable info and I hope the info I left is helpful as well.
