Business / The Truth About Making Money On Fiverr As A Nigerian by maxddude(m): 2:29pm On Feb 25, 2018
Fiverr is a marketplace and everyone is on the platform for serious business, be it the client or the seller.

Think of Fiverr as a real business, wake up every morning and look for ways to better your business. Work on every order like it is your first, treat every client like they are your only client (Excluding those Indian, Bangladesh & Pakistani client sha �)

I'll address 2 things on my post;

1. Making sales
2. Charging big bucks

Talking about making sales, I've always believed and reiterated that the best means of traffic is from Fiverr itself. If your gig is visible and you offer quality services plus good reviews, the sales will definitely come.

So before you even think of starting, equip yourself with a skill. Get someone to teach you or make YouTube and Google your tutor. Once you learn the basics of any service you want to offer, go on create your account and set up a gig. Improve yourself along the way until you are good enough.

I started a new account recently, I'll tell you what I did.

After creating my account, wrote my profile description, used a profile pic that actually depicts that of a professional. I didn't hurry to start creating a gig just yet, I had to search for sellers offering the same service I wanted to offer, I checked what they were all doing and the price they were charging. Now I realized I had a lot of competitors here an it'll take something spectacular to stand out.

What did I do? I decided to offer something extra and enticing.

I'll give you some examples.

Seller 1 gig: I will write a 500 words article for your blog

(Seller 1 is offering 500 words article and has gotten enough online presence and reviews, if I set up a gig like that. Client will clearly choose seller 1 over me �)

My gig: I will write an engaging 600 words article
(An extra 100 words can do magic you know �)

Now if you can add something enticing to you gig description it'll get better.

Examples;
1. Free stock photo for your blog post (there are so many free photos to use on google search)
2. Give you a free plagiarism report ( Even a free plagiarism checker can give you a report). Attach it and send to your clients.

Extra additions are valued by client and it could be the sole reason why they will be attracted to you.

Even if you are into graphics niche, you can offer PSD file for free.
(Note: This is done to attract the clients to yourself, you can charge higher once you attain higher levels).

Even after offering something extra, you might not get the sales yet.

What next?

Reviews!
Reviews!!
Reviews!!!!

Don't underestimate the power of reviews, no client will entrust his job to a newbie unless of course you are lucky.

But you don't have to wait for luck. So get the reviews up, 2-4 reviews should do for a start.

Even after offering something extra and buying reviews, what next?

Patience, patience my friend �

After setting up my gig and buying reviews, I didn't get any order for 1 week and 3 days. I wasn't bothered, I was only checking my gig analytics for number of clicks and impressions.

Well, when the messages and orders started coming it was overwhelming.

• Getting Clients from Outside Fiverr?•

Yes, you can get clients from outside Fiverr.

Have you ever searched online looking for a solution to something and then you open a blog post, then another. And after reading through the blog post you find yourself going through the comments under the blog post? Yes, that's it!

You can drop comments on YouTube videos or top forums on topics relating to the service you are offering.

For instance, you are offering and SEO service on Fiverr. You can search on YouTube for Videos on SEO.

Make a helpful comment attaching your Fiverr profile link to it (using a link shortener)

Example:
"Thanks Nate for your SEO tutorial, I find linkbuilding really difficult and confusing. I'll definitely put this to practice, but I'm using a professional SEO expert for my website now. Found him in one of those freelancing site, he's been amazing for me. (Profile link here) is his service page , you can check him out."

Above is a sample comment, and believe me 2 out of 10 people who read through will check you out. You can also try this on top forums like Quora �

• About Charging Big bucks •

One thing I've realized over time is, if you keep offering a service your client knows everything about. You will die of revisions and you can't charge high regularly �

A client can easily pay a writer $50 for $10 articles ($5 per article).

Another client will easily pay a video animator $300 for a 10sec animation video or a web designer same amount.

It's obvious web designing & animation requires much more skill and tools compared to writing.
But the client is also paying more because he has little knowledge on how it is done.

This is not to make you think your niche is poor, No! For every niche on Fiverr someone is averaging at least $2000 monthly, so why can't you?

Every category on Fiverr has sub categories, some are more difficult than others. If you think it's possible to make thousands of $$$$ on Fiverr with a basic skill, I'm sorry it doesn't work that way. You will have to master your craft and learn more about your field.

• Knowing The Difference Between Personal Task and Business Task •

If you offer a service that is mostly patronized by individuals, you will find it difficult to make the big bucks.

No one will fork out $1000 dollars just to draw a cartoon portrait of himself or pay you $2000 to build a blog to post his personal activities.

If your gig is not adding or improving a business, then it's time for a rethink. Every service can improve a business depending on how it is packaged.

80% of clients on Fiverr are small business owners or digital marketers working for companies.

Now think of how your gig can benefit their business and offer it to them. If your service will help them make money then you make money as well.

Example:

I run a blog and monitize it using Adsense, after spending $1000 on ads I made just $1300 for the month ($300 in profit). Now this is poor in every standard, then I come on Fiverr and see an expert who says he can help me do blog SEO and increase my Adsense earnings. He charges me $600 and did a good job, I earned $2500 the next month with same $1000 spent on ads.

Now will I pay this same expert more money to improve my blog or increase my ads spent?

Your guess is as good as mine �

• Communication •

Communication is one key to getting or losing a potential job. Learn how to communicate with your client. Every message you receive is a potential order, if your client request to know more about your service and ask you how much you'll charge him, he has also messaged other sellers too. The best communicator with a reasonable pricing always gets the job.

After working for your client, always try to upsell if you can. Look for something extra if you can and offer it to your client.

Sometime ago, a client messaged me to help her write an Ebook. I agreed!

Now an Ebook is not just about writing, but also design. Time to upsell �

I simply asked the client if she has an Ebook cover yet or need someone to help her with it. Well, she said yes!

I simply talked her on how I can get my graphics partner to help her with it. Sent her a couple of samples and she loved it. Then she asked me the question I love hearing "How much will this cost?"

I simply sent her a custom offer, she accepted while I got someone to help me with the design. I ended up profiting not only from writing but also from designing even without drawing a line.

• Last one is Packaging. •

You are graphics Designer, you can't even design your own gig image and you don't have a gallery online to show your clients? Weldone!

You are a writer, you don't have a blog sample or personal blog to show your client when you can open a blogger's blog for free? C'mon!

You are a video editor, you don't have a YouTube channel or sample account? Issokay!

You are serious seller and you can't pay $5-10 bucks to get a pro gig image or video. But you expect your client to pay you big money. Who are you kidding!

Appear pro, look pro, then charge pro �

I'm sorry I couldn't make it brief as promised, but I'll conclude with 3 things you need to grow on Fiverr.

- Patience
- Packaging
- Persistency

Business / Scam Alert - Landmark225 by maxddude(m): 8:43pm On Mar 30, 2017
This will be like the first time I'll fall a victim to scam tho. I contacted Landmark225 who claims to withdraw Fiverr funds. Agreed on a rate and I withdrew the money to his PayPal. Long story short, got my funds ($100)., blocked me on WhatsApp.

I actually did take a risk tho, should have used an escrow or something. Just making this update so others won't fall victim.

PayPal name- Alex Okeke
His number is attached.
