How to Make Money on Fiverr (How I Make $4000 a Month)

Fiverr pays if you for hobbies you play with

 Drawing, Designing, Graphics, Art, SEO, Article, music and audio, digital marketing, fun and live-style, 

How i make up to  4000 dollar (1261000 naira ) 

I joined Fiverr https://michaeltrendz.blogspot.com.ng/ on September 2015 and have generated over 6 million naira from it.

Prior to joining, I used to get angry with my friend who was a freelancer on Fiverr.

 

We were running an offline joint-venture business back then. Every minute he could steal from time, he will quickly log in to Fiverr to do what I didn’t know.

Back then, I always saw Fiverr as a $5 marketplace and I couldn’t imagine how he would always dedicate more time to his Fiverr account instead of our offline business which was making us good money…..(so I thought).

I didn’t miss any opportunity to make joke of him for slaving away on Fiverr and he wasn’t deterred at all by it……possibly he’d be laughing at me in his mind.

It was not until my fiancé finished school and was looking for what could keep her busy that the veil covering my eyes was removed.

I told my friend to teach her Fiverr so she could keep herself busy with it.

Her first month on Fiverr, she made $450.

That was huge compared to the time she spent on it.

It was then that I knew that there was something big happening in Fiverr and that was possibly why my friend gave good attention to it.

This was in 2014.

Fast-forward to 2015, our joint venture business started going down and I needed another supplementary income lest I go hungry.

My friend told me to come over to Fiverr and I lazily agreed.

My first month on Fiverr, I made $950……double of my income in the offline business I was running.

What really drew me in wasn’t really the money, but the fact that I wasn’t bothered about overhead, paying staff, going on marketing, etc. I just stayed back in the office, worked few hours per day and that was all.

I became really obsessed with Fiverr that I had to close down my offline business to focus on Fiverr…..that was very silly to many people, but it wasn’t to me.

Fast forward to 2017, I have earned as high as $3,000 in some months, with my lowest month being $850.

I want to share five important lessons I learnt from Fiverr. I believe if you learn it from me and apply it, you can earn a full time income, bigger than what many WORKING CLASS people earn.

Here are the five lessons:

1.     More money is made in the upsell:

If you are in the internet marketing space, you will understand the importance of upsell.

Let me use a practical example to explain what an upsell is.

When you order a product from Amazon or Ebay, you would see something like: “those who bought this product also bought this”.

The try to show you other products you might possibly need based on your current purchase. They know you are still in the mood of buying and so may possibly buy more.

With this, they make more money from you while they can.

The same thing applies to Fiverr.

Each service you render on Fiverr will invariably have lots of interrelated service.

For example, I’m copywriter on Fiverr and I know that anyone who hires me to write the content of their sales page, will invariably need email copies and squeeze page copies.

So when you place the order for a sales page copy, I will quickly respond to you, thanking you for placing the order and recommending those other services to you. I won’t just recommend, I will tell you reasons why you need them if you want to maximize your sales and conversion.

Most times, the client agrees because they just bought and so I’ll make more money than I would have normally gotten from the client.

This has enabled me earn up to $700 from a single client in one order.

You can also apply this and see how your revenue will increase, even when your client base is not increasing.

Another method of using this is through gig extras.

Add all those upsells in your gig extra so the buyer can easily see it and make a choice. 

If they don’t, then you communicate and convince the buyer yourself as I described above.

2.     Don’t rely on Fiverr traffic

Fiverr sure has a lot of traffic that can help you get sales. But if you are serious about growing your sales and revenue, you don’t need to rely on Fiverr traffic.

The millions of traffic that Fiverr gets monthly is not for you alone. It is meant to be shared among the thousands of freelancers they have on their platform.

What is the probability that you will get a good chunk of that traffic to your gigs?

Of course, you can use some Fiverr SEO tactics to receive more visits to your gigs, but you should bear in mind that Fiverr algorithm for gig ranking keeps changing too and what you did today to get yourself ranked, might make you enter the second page by tomorrow.

Many top sellers on Fiverr have been hit by these algorithm changes, so you are not immune to it.

The best thing for you is to optimize your gig for Fiverr searches and in addition, get more traffic direct to your gig from outside Fiverr.

Use social media, forums and even paid ads to get more targeted traffic to your gigs.

Trust me that many business owners don’t even know about Fiverr. When you reach out to them through these platforms and let them know they can get a high quality service at a cheaper price on Fiverr, they will quickly move to it.

37% of my Fiverr revenue comes from clients who saw my gig from outside the Fiverr platform.

You can also use this tactics to make more sales and revenue even if Fiverr changes their algorithm every day.

3.     Bidding early matters a lot…being 10th or down isn’t cool

On Fiverr, I’m not just a seller (freelancer), I also buy services there too. So I have had the opportunity of seeing things from both the buyer and the seller end.

When you visit the buyer request section, you will see over 20 sellers bidding on a single project.

For the buyer, they are usually overwhelmed with requests and so they end up interacting with the first 5-10 bidders. The buyer might even make a buying decision from the first or second bidder.

What this means is that if you want to increase your chances of getting the job, make sure you frequent the buyer request section and always bid on request as soon as possible so that you will be among the first five persons to bid.

That way, the buyer may see you and consider you among his options when making a buying decision.

Additionally, make sure your bidding proposal stands out with its content, else the buyer will just ignore your post and go for other bidders.

4.     Your gig package is meant to hoodwink the seller to pay more

Fiverr introduced the gig packages last year and that to me is one of the best updates they have done since I joined them in 2015.

The three gig packages enable you to charge your clients higher amount for more services. It’s meant to make your buyer prefer to pay higher hoping to get more quality at lesser amount.

For example, if you offer article writing services, your basic package could be 100 word SEO article for $5. The next package would be 500 words for $15, while the third package would be 1000 words for $25.

This way, your client would think that 1000 words is the best since he will get more value (1000 words) for less ($25 instead of $50). So they will probably ignore the $5 and go for the $25.

This is how I package my gigs to make the buyer happily pay more.

Repurpose your gig packages so that your buyers see more value in paying you more.

5.     You must see Fiverr as a real business

One of my most favorite business quotes is this: “if you want your business to give you full time income, then you must give it full time attention”.

If you want to make a sizeable income from Fiverr, then be ready to see and treat it like a real business.

By this, I mean that you should spend good enough time getting new customers both within and outside Fiverr platform. You should also endeavor to over-satisfy your clients by delivering quality service on time all the time.

Quality and on-time delivery will lead to your clients referring you to their friends offline….it has happened to me multiple times.

Even though, I now work less on Fiverr (I don’t drive external traffic to my gigs and I don’t even visit the buyer request section again) due to other internet businesses I’m trying to learn, I still get a considerable amount of sales and revenue from Fiverr.

Fiverr is not just a place for $5 jobs; you can make a full-time living from it if you will take time to learn more about it in addition to the lessons I just shared with you here.

If you want to do it 

Good luck to you.

5 Online Businesses You Can Start With No Money

Start a money-making online business 

The internet is the great equalizer. In business specifically, it has leveled the playing field. Anyone can start a money-making online business — anyone with a computer that is. But here’s the thing, no technical experience is needed. You don’t have to know how to build websites — no programming required at all. There’s no business or marketing experience needed either. It’s a truly democratic medium for entrepreneurship.

You can also live anywhere you want, set your own schedule, and work as little or as much as you want, depending on how fast or big you want your business to grow.
Best of all, unlike a bricks and mortar business, you don’t need a lot of startup capital to get started. In fact, you can get many internet businesses up and running with no money at all because there are so many free services to facilitate it. For example, you can set up a website/blog for free using WordPress. Or you can leverage a third party site like Amazon or eBay to sell goods — you use their selling platform in exchange for giving them a cut of your sales.
And this just the start of the many no money e-commerce startup solutions available.
With all of that said, let's take a look at what many consider to be the top five ways to make money online with little or not cost at all.

1. Drop Shipping

The basic idea behind an online drop shipping business is that as a small business owner you don’t have to maintain a large inventory of products or handle any delivery to your customers.

That eliminates the financial cost and risk of having a warehouse full of stuff you might not sell, and the hassle of arranging to send orders all over the country or the world.

Instead, you work with a company that specializes in drop shipping. Here’s how it works:

1. You list products for sale on your website or a platform like Amazon, eBay, or Etsy.

1. When one of your customers makes a purchase, you purchase the product from a third party company (the drop shipper, usually a manufacturer or wholesaler) for a lower price. This process is as simple as forwarding the order from your customer (this can actually be completely automated).
2. Your drop shipper then sends the product to the customer.

Easy enough, right? With drop shipping, you can offer a wide range of products, so the operating expenses for your business are super low.
There are some downsides to the drop shipping business model. You will have to find a reputable drop shipper you can count on to delivery to your customers. If an order is late or doesn’t go out… or a product is poor quality — you get blamed.
Also, because this market is so competitive, the margins (the difference between the wholesale price and how much you can sell a product for) are lower. But still, it is a worthwhile low or no-cost startup option.
One way to stand out from the competition with a drop shipping business is to private label your products. That way you're not selling the same product brand and just competing on price; rather you can use your own brand and face less competition.

Anyone considering a drop shipping business should seriously consider leveraging Amazon.com to grow their business.

2. Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is somewhat similar to drop shipping but with some key differences. Let’s take a closer look.
With this e-commerce model, you again don’t maintain an inventory of your own products, and you don’t have to worry about shipping products to customers.
Basically, you pick a profitable niche for your online business, and then you find an affiliate partner who has products available in that niche. Some of the most popular affiliate sites are Clickbank.com, Amazon.com, and CJ Affiliate by Conversant (formerly Commission Junction). Between them, they offer just about any digital information product or physical product you can think of.
You offer the products for sale, for example, on your blog or e-commerce website.

Each product has a unique link that tracks back to your account with your affiliate partner. When a prospect clicks on the link, they are taken to your partner’s shopping cart for check out. Once they buy, that purchase is recorded and you get a commission. It varies depending on the affiliate partner, but is generally 5 percent to 25 percent (or 50% or more with digital information products).

As you can see, there’s little risk on your part and virtually no investment needed either.
All you have to do is handle the marketing to get your prospects to buy (through social media, email marketing, blogging, or whatever method you choose). But after they click the affiliate link, it’s out of your hands. You don’t have to ship products or handle any customer service questions. And you certainly don’t have to maintain an inventory.

3. Blogging

If you have expertise and/or a passion or interest for a subject — and who doesn’t — you’re ready to start making money with a blog. With a service like Blogger (www.blogger.com), you can start up your blog totally free. You can also create your own site and secure your own hosting for a low price.
You may think blogging is all about writing. And it can be if you want it to. But written blog posts are just the start. You can post photos, videos, links to other sites, repost news and other articles… anything is game, really, as long as it is related to your niche.

What sort of content should you provide? Anything that is engaging to your prospect. Topics like “how-to,” top 10 lists, commentary on trends in your niche, tips and tricks articles… basically, you need to provide useful content. Need blogging ideas? Here are 40 ideas for your blog.
You make money in a variety of ways.

1. Google AdSense: These are pay per click ads that appear on your blog. Every time somebody clicks on an ad (which are supposed to be about a subject related to your niche), you make a few cents. Small amounts each time, but it adds up.
2. Blog ad networks: You can also work with ad networks, like Blogads, and run banner ads on your blog.
3. Affiliate marketing: You know this one already. You include links to products you are promoting as an affiliate and every time somebody buys the product, you get a commission. With a blog you can integrate advertising with content to make it even more likely you’ll get the sale. For example, you could do a product review — which is useful content — and then include a link to buy the product under an affiliate link.

Here are a few successful blogging tips to make sure people can find your blog — and will keep coming back. This is key to building a following and making your blog a profitable venture.

1. You need to provide useful content in an engaging way. If your blog is boring or the information can be found everywhere else, nobody will read it.
2. You have to post content on a regular basis. People thirst for the new. So make sure you put up articles, videos, or whatever consistently. It could one post per day or three times per week — whatever it is, maintain the same schedule. If you start being scattershot in posting, you’ll lose readers.
3. Be genuine. Yes, your blog is supposed to make money. But you can’t make marketing pitches all the time. Focus on useful content so that your readers come to know, like, and trust you. Then they will naturally click on your advertising or buy the products you recommend.

Do all of this and you’ll attract the notice of search engines like Google, which are always looking to put sites with useful, relevant content on top of the search results. This is what content marketing is all about.
You could start a blog in less than an hour. But it will take time to make money as you build readership and a small percentage of those folks end up buying your products.

4. Online Video

Have you watched a YouTube video lately? Of course, you have! This is one of the world’s most popular websites, with more than 1 billion users watching hundreds of millions of hours of video each day. And it’s not all cats doing funny things, by any means.

You can leverage YouTube’s reach to make money online. No, you’re not trying to create a viral video, so to speak. Although if it does go worldwide and is seen by millions, that’s a good thing.
Instead, you’ll be following a proven strategy for maximizing views of multiple videos on a regular basis. You’ll be creating useful content… something engaging that people want to watch. And it works in many, many different niches.
It could be a how-to video, a talking head video on a topic of interest to people interested in your niche… the sky is the limit.
One of the most popular — and money-making — types of videos out there right now are in the “Let’s Play” category. Basically, viewers watch people play video games. The players provide commentary and expert tips on mastering the game. People of all ages watch these videos and the most popular video creators can make thousands of dollars.
So you can see that just about any niche could work. Probably something you’re passionate about could be a profitable niche. Which brings us to money.
You make money with ad revenue. Your first step is to create a YouTube account and start uploading videos. Then you enable monetization on your YouTube settings. Basically, this gives Google the go-ahead to include short AdSense ads with your videos — you’ve seen those if you’ve watched a YouTube video. When viewers click on those ads, you get paid.
Some tips to create professional looking videos (no expensive pro equipment needed):

1. You can use your smartphone or a simple video camera. But make sure the lighting is good so you and everything else in your video is clear and easy to see.
2. Make sure the audio is clear. Make sure there is no air conditioning hum, construction noise, or other distraction.
3. Use simple editing software like iMovie to put titles at the beginning of the video and to edit out any flubs.

Above all, remember that your videos can be simple and don’t have to be slick. Just provide useful content and be engaging and interesting — being funny helps too.
And to extend the reach of your videos, be sure to post them on your Facebook business page, Twitter, your blog, and other channels. Let people know you’re in the video business now.
In addition to ad revenue from YouTube videos, you can also use your YouTube channel to drive traffic back to your website; where visitors can read your products reviews, click on the ads on your website, or even get onto your email subscriber list - where you can make multiple sales with your email list.

5. Information Products

When you have an internet business, it doesn’t have to be about selling physical products. In fact, digital information products are one of the easiest and quickest ways to make money. Outside of affiliate marketing, it's probably one of my favorite ways to make money online.
There's not shortage of ways to create information products, but the most popular formats include:

• Audio: a recorded teleconference, interview, a course or some other spoken word product…
• Video: a recorded webinar, a how-to, an interview...
• Text: an ebook, an instruction booklet of some sort, a travel guide…

In each of these categories, you can really get creative and make any type and format of content… as long as it’s engaging and useful.
No matter which way you do it, it’s passive income, money while you sleep because you put these products up for sale on your website and a customer can buy and download them any time of day or night, automatically. All you have to do is check the sales periodically to see what topics or types of products are selling best… so you can make more of those.

Putting It All Together

The trick with any online business is to make sure you’re in a profitable niche market. So be sure to keep an eye on trends, check out bestseller lists on sites like Amazon, and consider what people are discussing on social media.
One thing to keep in mind is that you don’t have to restrict yourself to just one of these e-commerce opportunities. Start out with one, get it going. Then add new revenue streams as you’re able. That will grow your income and ensure that you have something to fall back on should one business start going south.

It’s important you understand the online market ecosystem well, before you take a dive.

10). Copywriter:

Media websites, newspapers, and other media outlets are constantly looking for creative individuals that can churn out great content that connects emotionally with their readers. If you have a great portfolio showing the creative contents you’ve written, you can send a pitch to various media outlets to see if you could get a chance to write for them.

Over time, you’d finally get a gig, and as you write for several media platforms, your reputation and fee as a copywriter rises.

11). Home Day Care:

While parents are off to work, they need a trusted individual to take really good care of their kids in their absence. You could take advantage of this problem and start a home day care service right in your sitting room.

Connect with various mothers in your neighbourhood, build a reputation as a loving and charming woman, and mothers would feel a lot more comfortable leaving their kids in your hands during the day.

As your day-care grows, you could someday setup in a larger, more adequate space to expand your business, and subsequently, your revenues.

12). Online Retail Consultant:

Online retail consultants show e-commerce businesses how to start, run, and grow their online stores. They work hard to ensure their client’s online store(s) succeeds, and do everything to increase their revenues at the lowest cost possible.

If you’ve sometime worked for an e-commerce company, or previously ran an e-commerce business, working as a consultant, would be a great way to earn some income.

13). Career Coach:

Many individuals need guidance in their life endeavours. It could be about making the right job choices, picking the right college degree to earn, or even picking the right spouse. As a career and life coach, you’d help your clients achieve their full potential, and become the best of themselves they can be.

14). Accounting, Tax Preparation, & Bookkeeping:

Every business must prepare it’s books for an audit, at least once every year. As a professional accountant/auditor, you could offer a cheaper low cost alternative to business owners looking to prepare their tax statements. The larger the number of clients you’re able to secure, the higher your revenue figures.

15). Agriculture:

With the wide clamour for agricultural development in Africa, now seems to be a good time to get involved. Governments are also creating easy access to agricultural loans.
