    Pros:

    • Accessible and simple to use.
    • Lots of clients/buyers.
    • Good payment options.
    • Fast pay/withdrawals.
    • Can offer almost any service under the sun.

    Cons:

    • High fees (Fiverr takes 20% of all sales).
    • Payments are held for 14 days before being withdrawable.
    • Sometimes payments get delayed.
    • Very competitive.
    • Creep scope enabling.
    • If a dispute arises, Fiverr will most often take the buyer's side, even if the buyer is in the wrong.

    Tips:

    • Make sure that you are always online and available.
    • Make your gigs look good.
    • Always ask buyers to message first and let you know the exact task they're looking for.
    • Post multiple gigs in similar or different skill sets. This allows you to hit more search queries and reach a wider audience.
    • Pick a service that you know people are buying (how many orders are in the queue of the top competitors?).
    • Add a video to a gig to (hopefully) increase your buyer rate.
    • Research other gigs related to your niche. Find out what others doing to make sales.
    • Put keywords in your description. Most buyers find gigs via search so the better your keyword optimization, the better chance you have of getting found.
    • May be against the rules, but asking a friend to make the first order on your gig can give you a big headstart.
    • Never accept orders you can't finish on time, or that may end up canceled. They can destroy your reputation.
    • Make sure you have a clean and attractive profile, list all extra skills, include a profile picture, and start small.
    • Be patient, it may take a while before you land your first gig.

    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.

    Good place to make money with expertise, but...

    Rated 4 out of 5
    1 year ago

    Good place to make money with expertise, but its largely underpaid. It's also very difficult to get the first job, there's no way to prove customers should trust you.

    Pros:

    Large market place. Ensures clients have money before working

    Cons:

    Hard to get first job. Can be hash on freelancers. Accounts can be banned with little explanation

    Tips:

    Be patient. Make sure you set up your gig professionally. Make sure you get 5 star reviews in your first job. Send requests to buyers as often as you can and review your gigs as often as you can.

    It's a solid way to earn side income but the competition is pretty tight.

    Rated 4 out of 5
    1 year ago
    Pros:

    Some clients pay extremely well and some clients are long term.

    Cons:

    Biased algorithm. Tight competition. Lack of clients

    Tips:

    Be patient, it may take a while before you land your first gig. Consult an expert to design your gig. Regularly update your gigs to reflect recent skills like SEO gained.

    Pros:

    If you are established, you get more gigs. Easy payment procedures. More gigs during high season. Nice dashboard to track your progress.

    Cons:

    Competition can get though sometimes. Payments can delay.

    Tips:

    It's a really good site

    Rated 4 out of 5
    1 year ago

    It's a really good site for make a few bucks using any skill you have, it also helps you to gain experience, and helps to grow your portafolio in case that's important.

    It works really well when you have a good portafolio, without one the experience is pretty rough. Anyhow, once your gig is in a good position you can make really good money because there's always buyers

    Pros:

    Fast withdrawals. Hard to get scammed by buyers

    The tasks I offer (transcription, VA, data entry) are pretty boring task and no matter how much offer this kind of gigs there's always people buying

    Cons:

    The minimun for witdrawal is kinda high, and looks kinda imposible at begining

    There's a lot of competition. Hard to atract buyers

    Tips:

    Ask some friends to buy you the things that you're offering. It's not necessary that they actually buy you anything, but that way the can puntuate your reputuation and help you get a good position on your niche

    Offer services where you're excellent with a low time to deliver it.
