As a freelancer, you can get freelance work through your own website, work as an extension of a creative agency’s team, or create a profile on a platform.
Le commencement du freelancing
Upwork launched the future of “free” work in 1999, Freelancer.com started in 2009, and Fiverr built a new kind of gig platform in 2010. No two freelancing platforms are exactly the same , and it’s important to consider what each has to offer, including:
• Do you make calls to customers or do customers come to you?
• What is the size and activity of the user base?
• How and when will you be paid?
• Does the platform charge fees or commissions?
Today we’re talking about selling on Fiverr.
Fiverr has been a lucrative tool, so is working on Fiverr the right choice for you?
You are a beginner and need professional experience. As long as you have professional skills and the will to keep improving, you are good to go.
Fiverr originally got its name from the fact that sellers could only offer gigs for $5, and these cheap impulse orders are still hugely popular!
By setting your prices low, marketing yourself with confidence, you can find work, even if you don’t have experience.
If… you have years of experience as a true professional
You can submit an application to review for special approval to start selling your services.
Fiverr Pro sellers attract higher paying customers, have access to exclusive tools, and have less competition, even in crowded categories.
As a Fiverr Pro, one can set project prices up to $50,000.
Instead of bidding for the chance to work on individual projects, Fiverr buyers come to you, you’ll create an ad that describes the service you offer, set the price, and wait for responses.
This way, you market and sell your services like a commodity in an online store.
There’s a mini job board on Fiverr called “Buy Requests” that lets you send offers directly to buyers, but it’s underutilized, hard to find, and not available to all categories.
If… you’re worried about getting scammed or not getting paid.
Fiverr takes care of that for you. Billing is automated, so buyers will pay at the time of purchase, and Fiverr holds the money for a week or two (depending on your seller level) after the order is complete. In this way, the buyer and the seller are protected.
If… you have a long list of business contacts.
Maybe you don’t need a platform like Fiverr. The platform charges a 20% commission fee on all orders, so for every $5 sold, you earn $4.
Once you meet a customer on Fiverr, it is against the terms of service to remove business from the platform.
If… you’re a bit disorganized or not very tech-savvy.
Communication tools including integrated inbox, auto billing, delivery times, mobile app, notes, analytics and order history were a godsend!.
It can be difficult to set up a fully functional workflow, there are tons of tools online that you can piece together piecemeal, but Fiverr’s pre-built system is definitely a platform advantage.
If… you want to set specific office hours or work only with local clients.
Responsiveness is one of the most important metrics, and the site keeps track of how long it takes you to respond to new messages. Fiverr is available in over 160 countries, so you have the flexibility to work with global clients in different time zones.
With a 2 hour response average, you have proof that you are alive and can create a balanced lifestyle, get a good night’s sleep and keep working.
But you also don’t have fixed hours and you work a little every day, including Saturday and Sunday.
Fiverr has a useful tool called “Quick Replies” that allows you to send pre-written messages.
This is a game changer to save time and improve clarity when communicating with customers!
If… you need a quick start to making money online fast.
Freelancing is a long game, whether you’re nurturing relationships with your clients yourself or building a trusted profile on a freelance marketplace like Fiverr, it takes time.
Many sellers never receive orders and then give up. Buyer reviews have a big influence on search rankings, seller levels, and perceived credibility.
That being said, everyone starts with zero reviews! So what is the key to overcoming this obstacle? Build a professional profile with clear gig listings, high quality portfolio samples and competitive pricing.
Unlike creating a Shopify or other eCommerce site and investing in your own advertising, there are no start-up costs, so you have nothing to lose!
Even though fiverr is great, I still prefer upwork and freelancer
