How to make money on Fiverr with just a few simple steps!

Introduction to Fiverr

In this post I have detailed the steps to follow to setup a Fiverr account and how to make money on Fiverr.

Fiverr is an online marketplace for freelancers. The company was founded in Israel but operates worldwide.

The website allows individuals to list their services also known as “gigs” on the platform. Jobs listed on the platform are usually temporary ones, because they are time bound.

So when a freelancer lists his services, he also has to set a duration for which the project/job will be completed.

Pricing of Gigs 

Sellers on the platform are allowed to price their Gigs at whatever price they feel it is worth.

However, the best practice is to check out what other sellers offering similar services are charging.

On Fiverr as the name implies, the lowest amount you can price a Gig is for $5.

If you’ve never heard of Fiverr, this will be a great time to check it out.
