How You Can Use Fiverr To Make Money Today

When you join, you will see that every user sells their services through something called 'gigs'. A gig is one service or product that sells for $5. For example, "I will build you 15 profile backlinks for $5" is a gig. As a member of Fiverr, you can set up your own gigs. Unfortunately, Fiverr will take out $1 from every sale that you make. They have to make money somehow.

But, it really doesn't matter that they take a commission because Fiverr is a ridiculously huge marketplace and you can sell just about anything. You don't have to have any technical or specific skills to start making money today. Don't be surprised if you make three or four sales in your very first 24 hours.

Some Points To Remember

When you create a gig, you need to be sure that you take some time in writing up the title. Think about exactly what it is that you're selling and how people would search for that. For instance, are you selling a gig where you offer to create backlinks for a webmaster? Then make sure that you include the keyword 'backlinks' and/or 'links' in your title. That sounds basic, but it's incredibly easy to forget.

Also, take some time in crafting the description of your gig. Make sure that you give the buyer as much information as they could need (space permitting). Try to answer some of the initial questions that you think they may have.

Finally, every gig that you create should have a video. Even if you don't have a camera so you can record yourself, I suggest that you create a PowerPoint presentation that describes your gig and then turn it into a video using a tool like CamStudio (which is free and open source).

Make sure that you deliver on time because that is the best way for your account to be promoted to a higher level and receive more exposure. Besides, people love to order gigs that have lots of positive reviews.

Some Gigs That Will PULL IN MONEY TODAY!

Just jump onto Fiverr.com and start an account. Then you can start creating gigs right away. Don't be afraid to start multiple gigs because it increases your exposure. You'll see that there are all kinds of gigs offered by members all over the world.

Here are some solid service that you can definitely start selling today - if you feel like there are already a million gigs just like these already up on Fiverr, that's OK. The marketplace is growing by leaps and bounds every week and believe me when I say that there is no shortage of buyers.

If You Have Nothing But A Computer

Sell writing services - people are always looking for new authors to write articles for promotion or website content. You can set up a gig where you write a 500 word article on any given topic or using specific keywords provided by the buyer.

YouTube video commenting - having comments on a you tube video makes it look interesting and fresh. Set up a gig where you offer to create manual and intelligent* comments on YouTube videos. Make sure that you highlight that you will actually watch the full video and make a thought provoking comment and not just something like "cool vid".
Offer something like 1 comment on 10 videos for a gig.

Sell Manual blog commenting - this gig could go in two different directions. You can offer to make manual and intelligent comments on the buyer's blog posts or you can offer to submit manual and intelligent comments on blog posts around the internet using the buyer's link. This will create backlinks all over the web for the buyer.

*Notice that I am stressing the words "manual" and "intelligent" because there are a lot of auto-commenting services already offered on Fiverr. If you set up a gig for manual commenting, make sure that the buyers understand that you well actually read the blog post and make a good comment. You could offer something like 10 comments or 20 comments for a gig.

Sell translations - the ability to translate is very valuable. If you speak more than one language, why not offer your translating skills as a gig? Do something like offering the translation of 500 or 1000 words as a gig.

Sell your diet plan - a few sellers have made an absolute killing selling their own personal diet plans. Let me stress that you should only do this if you actually have a solid diet plan to sell. If you are an especially healthy person, create a video of yourself in tight clothes to show everyone what they could achieve.

Still low on ideas?

Sell your secrets - everyone has their own little secrets that are certainly valuable enough to sell. Do you have a few secrets to being a great parent? Do you have secrets to being a great lover? Perhaps you have secrets to picking up girls or guys at the bar. People absolutely love secrets and as long as you are sharing some personal and valuable "insider" information, a gig like this should do well.

Write music for someone - there are a lot of gigs where the sellers offer to write a short piece of music for the buyer. You might notate it down or you could record the music if you have the necessary equipment. Buyers will sometimes use this music for videos or to sell as royalty free music tracks.

Sell your crafts - can you knit? Sew? Are you one of those people that can make a Pringle's can into something interesting? Fiverr is great because it allows you to sell your physical products and charge buyers a little bit extra to help cover shipping costs. I have seen some people do very well with gigs where they sell handmade scarves or gloves.

Hand out fliers - if you live in a densely populated area, you could create a gig where you will hand out fliers in a public place. Buyers who are looking for a unique way to promote their website or service could be very interested in this. Set up a gig where you offer to handout 25 or 50 fliers in a crowded place. Just make sure that the buyer sends you a flier for you to print off.

Offer a singing phone-a-gram - if you have a good voice (or an especially bad voice), you could do really well with a singing phone telegram gig. Lots of buyers could be interested in this. There are a lot of people who are constantly looking for unique birthday gift ideas or just ways to freak out their friends. Your gig could require the buyer to give you a telephone number and a time to call - and you could sing 'Happy Birthday' or some other corny song when the person answers.

If You Have A Microphone

Sell eBook narration - people are constantly putting out informational products. Let's be honest, most of them are really horrible, but the authors are still willing to fork up some money to create audio versions of their eBooks. Offer to narrate up to 500 words for a gig. If someone wants you to narrate more, have them purchase additional gigs.

Sell voice over work - this is where I got my start on Fiverr. I offered to read a script of up to 1000 words for a gig. I got several orders every day, and it eventually became a little bit too much work for $5. I would suggest offering something more along the lines of 500 words for a gig. But, voice over work is becoming very popular on Fiverr, so the more words that you offer, the more orders you'll probably get.

If You Have A Camera

Sell testimonial videos - testimonial videos are really a mainstay of the Fiverr marketplace.

It seems like every one and their mom offers a gig where they will make a testimonial video for a product or a website. But, people keep buying these gigs over and over again. The reason is pretty obvious to me. If you are interested in purchasing fake testimonials for your product, then it makes sense to continuously get fresh faces. Offer something like a 1 to 2 minute testimonial for a gig.

Sell reviews of websites - a lot like testimonial videos, review videos are becoming popular as well. If someone has a website where some type of specialized information is shared, chances are good that they would like some video testimonials.

Sell instructional videos - think of something that you are good at and put together a 10 minute instructional video that could show a complete newbie how to perform that skill. This could be anything from how to perform gym exercises correctly to how to set up an HDTV on a wall mount.

Other Gig Ideas

Offer to advertise a promotional message somewhere on your body (this works great for females, especially if you lack morals. Sorry, but it's true)

Offer to take custom stock photos

Offer to send someone your photograph of a local landmark
