I tried selling on Fiverr for 30 days.

- Is becoming a new seller on Fiverr worth it or is the market completely over-saturated? I spent one month on Fiverr trying to get solid gigs to earn some decent side income.
Something to note: I'm making the assumption that one already owns/pays for the necessary hardware and software to complete the Fiverr gigs. The thought here is that Fiverr would be in addition to freelance income from other sources. Of course, you could take into account the cost of the Adobe CC subscription ($30/mo) and any other expenses if you'd like to subtract that from your revenue to find your actual profit from Fiverr.

I'm here two years later to thank you for this video. I've made way over 20K since i've started on Fiverr, and that might not sound like much for many people, but i live in Brazil, and that is way over the average income of Brazilian people. I was able to buy my car, rent a very big apartment, and at this point, i'm even hiring more people to expand my business! Thank you so much for this video!!!
With love from Brazil!
wow, thanks for sharing your success! congrats.
May i ask what your services are?
Congratulations man!
You are the living proof of what i said in another comment, it's great for people in countries like yours, where 5$ USD goes a long way ( very happy for you BTW 🤗) but in Canada, 5$ is pocket change. Canadians or Americans can't compete with gigs from people in Brazil, Colombia, India...
@@Cl-ue7wn I understand your point, but i don't think you're right. I've started charging $5 USD on my gigs, today i earn 1-2 average monthly salaries of an regular American citizen. The thing you learn by beign a freelancer on Fiverr is that if you're getting in to do what everyone else is doing, that isn't going to work at all. You've to start small, but get as good as you can, always learning, improving and trying to be the best on your nieche
they take 20% ? Should change their name to Fourr , since thats all you take home.
Yes, 20% is painfully huge. The site runners are raking in huge money while sellers suffer. 5% would have been more than enough to be fair and true to the Fiverr name.
Fr, their platform is not even resource demanding like youtube, cheap server is enough to run that website.. so greedy
@@adtc 20% is true to the Fiverr name - it's one-fifth! Ha ha...
@@rama7731 I agree, but the cut they take isn't for server costs, it's your payment to them because they brought you a customer and provided a platform for you.
not only this you will get your money after 14 days when you withdraw they will also cut fess, another when you want your gigs to be promoted you have to pay for it and additionally they will also charge from the buyers as well
Fiverr takes a whole TWENTY PERCENT?!?? That's absolutely nuts.
Steam takes 30% from their devs, although its worth it due to the amount of people on there
TH-cam takes 45
They also get the customers , they also pay for advertising, doesnt cost anything to sign up to be a seller . 20% is not bad .
Some freelancing websites takes 40% + taxes 💀
Roblox takes more 😢
I like how you kept it real and didn't use your social media presence to get people to just order gigs.
This is a channel I can get with! I look forward to the content. Especially after the quality of the Mango Street content!
That Calendar has dope aesthetics !! Makes me wanna do something productive immediately.
Congrats on the new channel Daniel...I am sure its gonna be an epic journey !
Outstanding presentation. Factual, humorous, no fluff. You did a great job. Thank you so much.
I love these kinds of honest and straight forward videos
What a great idea for a TH-cam channel! I’ve been thinking about selling my services through Fiverr for a while and it was really helpful to see what your experience with the platform was like. I’m excited to see what other videos you make around finance will be taking notes 😂.
I can see how you are dedicated and consistent in building your decent profile. Keep it up,mate!
That wrap-up with the sick tips. This is hands down one of the most in-depth and actually useful videos about Fiverr. Thank you very much!
Hi Daniel,
I watch a lot of how to make money online channels but most don't provide this kind of authenticity and value.
So I also wanted to start one pretty much like what you are doing that can give people actionable advise not just to clickbait people and earn ad revenue without helping the viewer.
You are great at what you do and this channel will blow up.
Keep at it and God bless.
Honestly the only issue I have are the transaction fees they slap on, even when giving tips. It just discourages the entire tipping process.
This is such NEW and niche content, thank you for brining us this new new information !
My hole strategy on fiverr was exactly how you did at the start, finding a small nieche inside a big category, like i do overlays for twitch but i made pokemon overlays specificaly so i get way more orders
Wow. Lol. That is crazy niche. Good for you!
How is your strategy?
its shit
How mutch did you Made ,If iam allowed to ask?
@@whoareyou2129 not much 150€ total, 10€ a month on avergae
Great video, Daniel! Well cut, great storytelling, and fun and informational.
Much appreciated!
you realy must have low standards buddy
@@ivanshoshkov jealous👀
🙌🏻
@@DanielInskeep great contant
I'm so excited for the videos on this channel, I love how you and Rachel just get straight to the point on videos. And this came at the perfect time! I JUST got started on Fiverr :)
Who is Rachel?
I am really looking forward to seeing the content from this extra channel of yours.
As someone who is starting a career in video editing and photography, as well as a youtube channel, this is really helpful Daniel! Stoked to watch your next videos. Keep it up! :)
this is extremely well made, you deserve more attention my guy, amazing video.
Great advices! Glad i found your video, directly to the subject and no wasting time 👍🙏
The other fact is that Fiverr takes a huge fee from both buyers and sellers. Living with it, adding all tax you have to pay as well becomes tough in respect to TH-cam or Amazon programs.. between these Fiverr has the highest work time over revenue ratio.
@Ronin 98 Yes, other 5% to add... :)
Do you need channel art or thumbnail designer?
Fivver is a race to the bottom just like crowdsourcing sites majority of the creators are from third world countries just trying to make a buck.
While the target market audience for these sites are for people who don't want to pay at least minimum wage and don't know true value or real quality work and suffer with damages from making that poor decision of not working with real professionals.
Any professional who knows true value stay away from rat race sites like these.
@@bvgaboo3572 Still having to admit that 'Fiverr Pro' collects true professionals. At true fee haha
Yes you are right, It's been months that I'm working on fiverr and all i get is 2 or 3 order on average very month which is not even $50 sell and than fiverr get it's 5 percent on it
Really love your work, keep it up bro 💪
This is such a cool concept for a video and channel! Super interesting to hear your results and see what you do for future videos!
GREAT VIDEO! So chilled and honest. I was going to set up an account soon so this has actually given me a good idea of hopefully what to expect :D
A finance channel is genius. One of the most profitable TH-cam genres congrats man! Looking forward to the content
Keem Ibarra Good CPM, good content. Win win!
Amazing dude! This is so helpful thank you!!
Omg, Thanks for the great information and knowledge. I'm thankful man ❤️
I really like the videography going on :)
aye seeing a dope ass established editor like you take 3 weeks to get a gig has made me consider giving fiverr another shot, thanks Daniel :D
This was somewhat inspirational. Great stuff dude!
Wow the transitions and the editing are on point
I am slow at editing, but it’d be cool to learn how to do that a bit more as a side gig and to help me with my own videos.
Nice little side hustle to start. Over time it could snowball to recurring business and increased prices being capable after lots of pleased customers leaving reviews.
Great video!
Great content. I've been thinking of a couple of gigs for Fiverr too and seeing your experience is super helpful. Thanks!
Interesting games he had to play just to get noticed. I can see how freelancing can be a viable option and will most likely be something we all will need to understand at some point. I can also see how jumping into the deep end on large platforms could drown newbies, but he did a good job of letting people know what it looks like.

This was extremely realistic and informative. My favorite video so far.
I appreciate the detail you went into my guy
I started a fiverr for making animated lyric videos. I definitely starts out really slow, but as things get rolling, they seem to roll in bunches. I will go weeks without any orders, then suddenly I'll get 2 or 3 in the same day or two. I am still not getting a ton of orders, but I've made about 330$ from maybe 9 orders.
I might try that favorite exchanging thing, though. Could definitely see that helping a lot.
I can relate to the first few weeks of spam messages. They stop after a little while, but can certainly make for a bad first impression.
Thanks for posting this! It was very helpful
Nice appreciate the honesty and that you said you went for like sharing etc.
I literally got a buyer message while watching this vid,
Are you on Fiverr or Gigesy?
this is the coolest and most awesome vid about your experience on fiverr, thanks for sharing this Daniel! stay awesome! am big fan and now your subscriber!!
Good video, professionally made and very enjoyable to watch.
Thx for this video! gives some extra encouragement and great advice!
I would've loved to see a follow up video with you working a full month with the traction you were getting!
awesome! love the dedication you have for seeing these things out! well done.
Pure content! Infact a great story telling
I love your approach. Most youtubers just blab that you can make money on these platform but you took a different approach by really engaging yourself to see how the platform actually works. Thanks man.
This reminds me of my Fiverr days. I prefer to block those out haha -- 90% of the time the people ordering were fine, but that 10% of people was always a headache to deal with.
Hey man,
Can I reach you on your mail?
This is such a great video. Very realistic and highly insightful. Would you be continuing the gigs by any chance? Would be interesting to see an updated video maybe 2-3 months from now.
This channel is really good! Currently trying to get a list of decent side hustles going!
I like watching your videos because you explain you mindset and how to approach a problem
Production quality is CRAZY bro I'm keen to see more content from you
Glad I found this video. I'm starting Fiverr and Upwork this weekend. Hopefully with a good video I can land some gigs in February. Liked, and subscribed.
how did it go?
@@danialex13 Got some gigs. Decided doing a ton of work for $20 was not the way to make a living:)
@@kyleheilig255 Oh well, makes sense. Ty for answering!
@@kyleheilig255 Make your rates higher after your first 5 star review
You have given me hope buddy. Thanks a lot.
I love your giant calendar! Great video, *subscribed* 😊
I kind of like the platform, I only made 1 sale so far but I had to advertise it in some craigslist type website. There is a lot of competition so getting your first sales is really hard. I'm a video editor as well. Their pay cut is insane though, 20$ cut for them, plus taxes and shit... The client pays $10 CAD for a $7 CAD gig and I made a grand total of $4 off that sale.
I tried signing up and posting a photo editing gig months ago, but never had any views. I think it eventually got taken down/paused due to inactivity.
Might try some of these tips, but it's definitely hard to at least get a start on there.
I actually appreciated the content. Thanks for the information.
TH-cam have should let me know about your channel from 2020. I love your content!
CAN I GET SOME GIGS?!?!
What do you mean??
At this rate we will have a raid shadow legend sponsored comment.
Gig
It seems like you can make more from a TH-cam video that talks about making money from Fiverr.
I started a fivver account and it didnt go well. I may try it again with these tips. Thanks Daniel. Gluck witht the new channel
give it a shot!
same
how is t going?
What's the update? Any better luck this time around?
Harry lets worktogather
Good video, keep up the good work!
Tons of value. Thank you!
Yep. Fiverr has been a consistent side gig for me for years. I would never rely on it for a full time income (some people do however) but as a solid $300-600 a month? It's really perfect.
How long have u been on Fiver to receive that much traction that u make $300-$600 monthly?
I have zero skills but still watched this. 🤷🏽♂️ 👍
I'm sure you have typing skills.
@@PaulVazquezJD lol 💀
😂
Just got a new sub. Keep going dude!!!!
I loved the ANTI GURU tagline. Ypu got +1 subscriber
So interesting! Not a bad side gig that could make pretty good money down the road. Can’t wait for the next vid!
This is such a helpful video! Curious to see what comes next: perhaps video/ photography Stockfootage and the whole process by testing different platforms (e.g. Artgrid)? Cant wait for more!
interesting idea!
Good video, keep up the good work! Passive income is the best!
Thank you so much for your invaluable information, highly appreciate it, keep it up the outstanding job, have a great day.
Great stuff Daniel, one mistake I made when I joined Fiverr in 2017 was not applying SEO when I did everything changed.
What is SEO ?
@@dontknow6213 search engine optimization.
What was the mistake you made ?
Really interesting video!
What a great and informative video! Thank you so much for making this! it really helps with setting expectations :)
I like that you show what is fair for you as a freelancer, price wise.
Thank you for making this Video. I have just joined fiverr about 40 days. I am a Shopify and Wordpress expert. I got my first order after 7 days. And as of today i have completed 10 orders with 5* review. I think i started pretty well so far. Looking to scale up now.
Holy shit, that huge calendar :))
Informative video, real. Thanks for this kind of content.
Subscribed to this channel immediately..Good ideas and advise,kudos.
The website is super bloated. I got a really fat portfolio and I signed up for Fiverr and never made a dime.
Great image quality and edit, you've got a great aesthetic going on. There's a bit of whitenoise in the background coming from your mic though.
yep, my building has a lot of ambient noise that makes recording audio challenging. thanks for watching!
this was awesome content, thank you so much! great advice on GIGS:)
This was so detailed and I appreciate the summary at the end. Can you do one for Upwork?
you are extremely underrated!! keep up the good work g!!
I appreciate that!
u deserve more subs and views, Love from Egypt .
This was super insightful. Thank you!
Good content! The video was nicely structured
I do fiverr recently, and took me almost two weeks to get my first buyer. Then, he gave me job every week. The first time doing it, it is 4 revision. Then, I improved my skills a little since I know what the client wants. Then, another gig with new buyer but so many revision to do it. I almost give up since I priced as low as 5-10 dollars to do animation 2d video.
Wish me luck.
I'm kinda in the same boat as you, it took me 3 weeks to get my first client and he wanted a lot of revisions which I was happy to do since he was my first customer. I do game montage video editing and my prices range from 5-20 dollars, and he maxxed out the order to do the 20 dollar one plus 10 dollars which was two day shipping. at the end I worked about 5 hours in total for him, and luckily he tipped me 30 dollars so I made 48 net after fiverr took the it's cut. What I'm trying to say is that you should probably raise your prices so your not working at a very low rate per hour. cheers
Kindly give me some video how earn money
Seeing some action on Fiverr is definitely slow, but I've had a few orders for photo editing now so hopefully it continues to grow!
How's your fiverr work is going now? Please tell me.. I'm beginner.. Please describe me about your experience
@@chetanbhabad1257 I've had a few orders, but nothing really significant yet. It's hard to get orders without a lot of customer reviews, but you can't get a lot of reviews without orders. Maybe I need to get some friends to fake some. 🤷🏻♂️
This was awesome info! Thanks a lot. Really looking forward to the next video.
next video is a fun one :)
Very useful information. Thank you so much!
Do you mind sharing the brand of that mic stand? It looks solid! :)
He makes it seem so easy. I've been 8 months on fiverr and I got like 50 bucks
I am waiting 2years for the first order
What gig you offer?
@@randomvideos302 damn, you must be patient man. What gig you offer?
@@wvssbil album Covers. Social media Flyers. Web banners
Me too, it's ridiculous these people still put up with this Fiverr, don't waste your time there, find your clients outside, you don't pay those huge commissions!!!
I love this kind of content about 30 days challenges and etc)))
Im very impressed with information you provided.. and video was very coooool !!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Fiverr is great for buyers looking for the best deal. I felt like I was competing against people who charge close to nothing for their gigs. I think it might be a great option if you live in countries where 5$ USD goes a long way, but I'm in Canada, 5$ is pocket change. I would need to complete at least 8 gigs per hour to make a basic living. Which is close to impossible... If you try charging more for your gig, you just become invisible to buyers.
You are 100% right
When you accidentally went to Daniels old channel looking to subscribe ✌🏻
haha well if you wanna watch live shows taken from a flip camera in 2009, it's worth subscribing to!
Thank you!!! Straight forward information!!!!
Love your content man.
