If you have not read it you can go through it before reading this post. One of the models i talked about is freelancing and i promised to take you through all what fiverr is all about and services you can start with. Therefor here is it.
Making Money Online: What is fiverr
Fiverr is an online micro job market place where buyers or sellers have the opportunity to buy or sell items, services, ebooks, just anything for $5 Services or products called gigs can be created on the site and being sold for a fixed price of $5. Buyers will order the gig and pay in advance. Top rated seller have the opportunity to offer extra gig which is more than 5 dollars. Unique gigs that receive lot of positive review are feature on the first page of fiverr and getting more sales/order is likely. As a seller/provide on fiverr you will make only $4 of every $5 the buyer paid. Fiverr will be deducting 20% while you have 80% of every order you receive.
Reasons Why i Like Fiverr
1. Signing Up is absolutely Free
2. The traffic on fiverr alone can get you lot of sale without promoting if your gig rank on the first or second page.
3. Consistent Positive review will skyrock you account.
Fiverr community
The fiverr community is made up of two group. They are
- The Buyer: These are people on fiverr just online to order for cheap services they cannot get elsewhere. They click on the order button and they will be taken to the payment page where they will have to provide their payment details after which they will also provide the order details to make the order active.
- The Seller(Service Provider): These are people on fiverr to render services for $5 in which they will earn $4 from the process. They have the opportunity to offer up to a maximum of 20 gigs on their on their account. The amount of order you receive will determine that amount you will make.
Social Proof System (Feedbacks)
This is an important point that needs to be taken serious. How successful you will be on fiverr will be determined also by this factor. After successful complete of an order the buyer has the opportunity of rating the seller. This rating system is good before as buyers will either thumbs up or down based on their satisfaction but now in the Fiverr V3 it is very easy for once rating to drop because the system now make use of star to assess the seller communication, service and if the buyer can recommend it service for others. Therefore quality service should be provide in other to get 5 stars in all. The high the positve feedback percentage or Star, The more confident to potential buyers that wants to buy. Take not that not everyone that buy will leave a positive review but if you provide a quality service you will definitely get it.
