    How Does Fiverr Work?

    There are 2 types of users on Fiverr: Sellers and Buyers.

    Here's how Fiverr works for each of those user types:

    For Sellers

    Sellers (i.e. freelancers) can sign up for free and create gig listings on the desktop site (starting at $5 per gig). Then, they can manage sales, message clients, and get paid on either the desktop site or mobile apps.

    Details for Sellers 💰

    Work Type:Freelance
    Income Type:Active
    Work Schedule:Flexible
    Workplace:Remote
    Minimum Payout:$1
    Payout Options:Payoneer PayPal
    Payout Speed:7-21 days
    Note: For regular sellers, all earnings are held for 14 days before being available for withdrawal. Top-Rated Sellers (TRS), Seller Plus sellers, and PRO sellers have a shorter 7-day clearing period. These clearing periods were considered when calculating the overall payout speed(s) above.
    Commissions / Fees:Fiverr takes a 20% cut of all sales sellers make.
    Pros:
    • Accessible and simple to use.
    • Lots of clients/buyers.
    • Good payment options.
    Cons:
    • High fees (Fiverr takes 20% of all sales).
    • Payments are held for 14 days before being withdrawable.
    • Sometimes payments get delayed.
    Pros and cons are based on real Fiverr Seller reviews.

    For Buyers

    Buyers (i.e. clients) can sign up for free, search for services, or create a custom job request. Once a suitable freelancer is found, all communications and payments happen directly through Fiverr.

    Details for Buyers 💼

    Commissions / Fees:Buyers are charged a service fee of 5.5% (+$2 for orders under $50) for each purchase made on Fiverr.
    Payment Options:Credit Card, PayPal, Wire Transfer
    Note: Buyers can also make purchases using Fiver credits (e.g. from referral commissions) or their Fiverr balance (e.g. from platform earnings or refunds). Note that payment options may vary by country and account type.

    Fiverr is a good platform with decent earning potential

    Rated 4 out of 5
    11 months ago

    Fiverr is a good platform with decent earning potential, if you know how to use it. You also need to know who you do and don't want to work for, as some clients can be tire kickers (just waste your time, and try to nickle and dime you).

    Pros:

    I like that they have an app, which allows me to quickly respond to inquiries.

    Responding quickly is important because the longer you wait the less likely you are to get the job.

    It is also important because Fiverr displays a "typically replies in X hours", on each of your gigs, so people are more likely to message you if they know that you are responsive.

    Cons:

    Their platform is slightly buggy sometimes, especially their messaging system. It's not a huge deal, but it can be annoying.

    They also take 20% of your earnings, which can seem like a lot. However, you have to remember that the reason you're earning that money, is their marketing...

    Tips:

    Pick a service that you know people are buying (how many orders are in the queue of the top competitors?). Even though you can make money selling obscure services, it is more difficult.

    Fiverr is a good platform for the seller except...

    Rated 4 out of 5
    1 year ago

    Fiverr is a good platform for the seller except that it's very biased to the buyer hence payment not completely secure. You get gigs according to your review. It has good community and support. The seller can charge a minimum of $5 per gig. It also has unlimited earning opportunity since there are many services to offer. Its also ideal for beginners.

    Pros:

    Fivver is a platform that assures payment for the work done. With the right reputation you get very many clients .the clients choose freelancers based on reviews. There is the ability to learn new things

    Cons:

    It mostly Favours the seller. it has faulty search feature that makes your reliable gigs unsearchable.

    Luck applies because you should be lucky to be picked out of other 100 freelancers with the same rating as you.

    Tips:

    Put up a Gig Video .This impresses clients. Get the Fiverr app. This will help you get Clients orders at the Go. Make sure you have a sensible delivery time. Make use of SEO to make your profile easily seen.

    High fee

    Rated 4 out of 5
    1 year ago

    One of the downsides to working with Fiverr is the fact that freelancers have to pay 20% fee per income.

    Pros:

    Accessible. No country restrictions. Good refund policy. Scam free

    Cons:

    Creep scope enabling. Little help to sellers regarding buyers that want free information. High cut

    Tips:

    Create more gig in other skill sets. Expand to other sites if you want to make this a full-time gig. All skill-sets are profitable, it just take the right client to get lift-off.
