Fiverr is one of the biggest and most popular freelancing platform in the world. Founded by Micha Kaufman and Shai Wininger in February 2010, the basic concept of the business is a digital marketplace where both sellers and buyers can freely interact and offer or buy various service-related tasks called ''gigs.'' Like the name suggest, the starting price of all services here is $5. Based in Israel, the online business has quickly grown into a huge marketplace that attract more than 60 million visitors per month. In 2013, the company released its official iOS app, followed by the Android app in March 2014.
Making money by freelancing on the platform is simple, but also tough due to fierce competition. Sellers should first make an account on the platform, and then fill in their details. Professional-looking account and complete info will attract more customers than those who fill in their details half-heartedly. After that, start making your gig by filling in the gig form, set your price, and maybe even include an introduction video so that even more people would be interested in checking out your gig. After that, sellers should simply publish their first ever gig.
Struggling to sell your first ever gig? Fiverr also provides a guides section, where sellers can learn everything about gig business. From guides about a specific gig category to general business advice. Everything that you need to start freelancing is provided here. One of the open secrets to success on Fiverr is reviews - the more you earned good reviews from satisfied customers, the more customers you will get. So, it's not just about the quality of your works but also your professionalism and relationship with customers, especially if you plan to do freelance work for an extended period of time.
All gigs on the platform are divided into categories to make searching easier. These include digital marketing, writing, translation, video making & editing, programming, music-making, animation, and many other services.
Fiverr accepts multiple payment options, though some of these options are restricted only to certain countries or requirements. These options include credit cards, be it VISA or MasterCard; PayPal; Apple Pay; Google Pay; wire transfer; IDEAL; Sofort; and a couple of others.
