INTRODUCTION

Congratulations! You have just taken the first step toward

becoming a profitable use of Fiverr. Having knowledge is

useless unless you are willing to act on the knowledge you have;

buying this book is the first action you have taken toward

applying knowledge to your success!

You are likely wondering why this book is different from other

information about Fiverr you have heard before. The methods in

this book are related to using only one kind of service which

converts to another, more valuable, use which runs without

much effort from you. Curious yet?

Your goal is to make money through minimal effort and

replication. If you examine the system in place closely, you will

find several opportunities to do this.

If you are looking for motivational speeches or fancy wordplay,

you are looking in the wrong place. This book will get straight

into the specific actions you will need to take to earn money. If

having a specific plan of action isn’t enough to make you begin

to work, you may be in the wrong place.

SO WHAT IS FIVERR ANYWAY?

I assume that since you bought this book, you already know

something about Fiverr. However, some of you may have

picked this book up out of curiosity, without any prior

knowledge, so let me take a moment to fill you in. Fiverr is a

web-based marketplace that allows users to buy and sell services

for $5. Anyone can create a listing for a small service on the site

or purchase a service. The fixed price for any job is $5. A buyer

orders services and is required to pay for it in advance.

Services are placed into categorized by Funny and Bizarre,

Social Marketing, Graphics, Writing, Technology, Business,

Silly Stuff, and Programming. There is a place for buyer

feedback on the people who provide services, which helps

others buyers choose which vendors to purchase services from.

One dollar from each sale goes to Fiverr, meaning the vendor

(you) make $4 per task. When most people hear about Fiverr,

their initial response is skepticism. They either don’t believe you

can actually make money at it, or they make fun of the people

who do. Unfortunately, this lack of vision will prevent them

from being successful on the site.

Think about it for a minute, though. How many successful dollar

stores are there in your community and in other communities

across America? How much money has McDonald’s made over

the years? The key to success isn’t the size of the sale you make,

but how many sales you make and what the profit margin of

each one is.

I have noticed that there are many jobs on Fiverr that have been

listed for a long time with no orders. Others may make enough

to enjoy an evening out a couple of times of month. However, I

have also noticed that 15-20% of the jobs listed can make

hundreds, or even thousands, of dollars per month.

Of the 15-20% who are very successful, about 1% is WILDLY

successful, earning several thousand per month. The purpose of

this book is to teach you to methods of that 1%. There are plenty

of tips and tricks to help you achieve that level of success.

Once we have covered the best way to earn as a Fiverr seller, we

will look to earnings as a Fiverr outsourcer, examining several

methods for outsourcing. That is where the real money can be

earned!

A key principal as a seller or reseller on Fiverr is to generate

multiple income streams. Later in the book, we will go into

specifics about what that means and how to do it. First,

however, we need to examine how to earn money as a regular

seller/vendor. There are several basic rules you must apply to

see success.

THE RULES

1. You MUST upload a video for each listing you post.

This is probably the most important rule of them all.

Including a video makes a huge difference to the success

of your listing. In your videos, be entertaining and

engaging. This will make you memorable to the buyers.

There are many, many listings on Fiverr. Some of them

may even be better deals than yours. However, if you

provide a video that is clear, to the point, and

memorable, you are much more likely to get sales.

Speaking well and using humor will increase the

likelihood of getting a sale by about 75%.

You should also mention Fiverr.com at least once time.

Moderators watch every video uploaded, and having

more than one mention of Fiverr in your video makes it

more likely that they will place you on the first page.

2. Make sure your title is creative and eye-catching.

Which title would you be more likely to click on: “I will

sing a song for $5” or “PROFESSIONAL song by an

amazing singer for $5”?

Be sure to use active verbs to say what you will do and

include descriptive words.

Fiverr has a policy that only one word in a title may be

in all caps. Choose the word you want to capitalize

carefully. You are trying to catch the eye of the buyer.

For jobs you can do quickly, add “Within 24 hours” to

your title. Sales should increase by 10-20% for this

added perk.

3. Use a custom picture on your listing.

Fiverr requires you to upload a picture about the job you

are listing, in addition to a video. Before posting a

listing, use Photoshop, or even Paint, to create your own

picture instead of using a generic picture you find online.

Taking the time to customize will help set you apart

from the people who just found some clip art online. If

you can’t create something that looks professional for

yourself, consider asking a friend to help you or even use

Fiverr to find someone who can do it!

4. Make sure your description is specific and well-written.

When you write a description, make sure you include all

the details of the job, instead of just making a general

statement. This is your sales pitch; you want to explain

what makes your service better than the next guy’s, what

exactly is involved in the service, and what the features

are. The more professional you sound, the more likely

you are to get a customer, so make sure you check your

grammar and spelling. Even though buyers are only

spending $5, they still don’t want to throw it away. If

you take a little extra time to make sure your description

is articulate and detailed, you will attract more buyers.

5. Be an individual!

It is unlikely that you will be the only one posting a

particular service on the site. So how do you stand out

from the crowd? Figure out what makes you unique.

DON’T try to copy someone else who is successful on

Fiverr; instead do one of the following things:

a. Show the buyer that your service is better than the

others and better to buy.

b. Make sure you use the first four rules to stand out!

If you consistently use the first four rules, even a service

that isn’t particularly special will stand out from the rest

and should bring in customers daily.

6. List at least 20 services at once.

Fiverr limits each vendor to a maximum of 20 listings at

a time. If you don’t post at least that many, you are not

maximizing your profit potential. Get creative and come

up with 20 things you are willing to do for $5. Even if

some of them only get one or two orders weekly, you

have established multiple income streams. (Remember

that from the introduction?)

A listing that only brings in $8 per week is generating

$32 a month and just over $400 a year. Multiply this by

20…you just made over $8000 in extra cash!

Remember, too, that every listing brings traffic to your

page profile, meaning that your other listings will be

seen by more people!

Another possibility is having more than one account on

Fiverr. If you have two accounts, you can post up to 40

listings, and so on.

Make sure to list services in more than one category for

maximum exposure. If you are seen in multiple

categories, once again, you are driving more traffic to

your profile. More traffic = more orders = more money!

These six rules MUST be applied to every listing you post. Just

doing these things should help you earn $1200-$2000 per month

just from direct sales on Fiverr. Not bad for a minimum of effort

on your part!

SUGGESTIONS FOR GIGS

Graphic design is a popular gig on Fiverr. Even if you don’t

have any graphic design experience, you can make some cash.

Offer to create a 3D e-cover for anything the customer wants.

Then go to http://www.myecovermaker.com, a site that lets you

create that very thing with only a few mouse clicks. The site

requires you to create an account which charges either a

monthly fee or a one-time download fee. If you do several of

these per month, you should more than make back what you pay

for the subscription.

Offer to create a social media profile for an individual or a

company. It doesn’t even take 5 minutes to create a profile and

upload a company logo, so you are getting a pretty good profit

margin. Then you can offer additional products or services on

top of profile creation, such as uploading photos, writing

captions, making regular posts, etc. You can make the same

offer for creating a YouTube channel or a Facebook fanpage.

Be sure to look at the “suggest gigs” listed on the right side of

the Fiverr homepage. This is where people post when they are

looking for someone to do a specific job. You can pick up a few

of these a month without taking away from the 20 gigs you

already have listed.

If you already have a blog or a website that gets a lot of traffic,

you can offer to sell advertising space on the site for $5 for a

specified amount of time. You can do this through Adspace if

you like. Be sure you are prepared to show proof and details

about the traffic on your blog or site. This will often make a

difference in whether a customer chooses you or the next guy.

Offer to write articles for $5. There are lots of people making

this offer, so make yourself stand out by including a link to your

portfolio. The only down side to this kind of gig is the amount

of time it takes to do it. Figure out how many articles you could

write in an hour and multiply times $4. That is what you are

earning hourly with this gig. Compared to other gigs, it might

require more work for less revenue.

RUNNING ON AUTOPILOT

Ultimately, you want to design your listings to make money for

you without additional effort on your part. That’s called running

on autopilot. So how do you make that happen?

First locate a good PLR product. (If you are new to the field,

you may not know what that is. PLR stands for Private Label

Rights. It means when you buy the product or article initially,

you are also buying the right to resell it under your own name,

without referring back to the original creator.) Make sure you

choose a high quality product. There are several websites which

provide lists of these products, so take some time to browse

around and find something of good quality. A little extra time at

this point will pay off in the long run. Try one of these sites:

http://www.PLRAssassin.com (this site charges a small

fee for access)

http://www.indigialworks.com (completely free access)

http://www.plrstore.com (also completely free access)

You will have to invest a little money in the products initially,

but you will quickly recoup what you spent if you choose

wisely.

Once you have chosen some PLR products, create a gig on

Fiverr to sell them.

RESEARCH MATTERS

Before choosing your products, do a little research to determine

what type of products sell the best. On the Fiverr homepage,

filter the listings by popularity. That means the top selling

products will be at the top of the list.

You will likely see that people who are willing to promote

products or websites on Twitter are very popular…meaning that

people are willing to pay for that service.

Go to the PLR sites and do a search for material related to

Twitter. It may be software or an eBook, but if it something that

teaches people how to promote something via Twitter, it will be

likely to sell.

CREATING A BUYER LIST

Once you list your product on Fiverr, make sure you use a

landing page with an opt-in form. This will give every customer

immediate access to the product (with no effort on your part!)

by registering on the site. The information they enter will

automatically go into a buyer list, once again with no effort on

your part! Having a buyer list means you can notify these people

when you offer new gigs. Repeat customers are always a plus!

Always ask a customer to leave feedback. Positive feedback

means more customers. It is worth it to refund someone’s

money to avoid negative feedback.

When a customer registers, set it up so they are redirected to a

One Time Offer Page which presents the buyer with a related

product they may also be interested in. Be sure to create a large

package for an incredible price, so it would be crazy not to buy

it. For example, you might package a group of 3-5 eBooks

related to Social Networking or Internet Marketing for $10 (or

even less). The key is to pack a huge amount of value into a

small price. The customer is already in buying mode, so there is

a high probability that he will buy the OTO as well.

That means instead of making $4 per sale, you are actually

making $14, assuming your OTO is $10. Each product should

make at least one package sale per week, or $56 per month. If

you list 20 different products, that is $1120 per month with no

effort from you after the initial setup. (There are also other

“microjob” sites where you can create exactly the same listing

again for even more revenue!)

In addition, you are adding 100 new names to your buyer’s list

per month, just from Fiverr. You can then use this list to market

other products outside of Fiverr, if you desire.

OUTSOURCING

Using the 6 rules to make money on your listings is a great way

to make extra money, but if you are interested in making BIG

money, you need to learn about outsourcing. Some internet

marketers are now making thousands a month through Fiverr

selling and outsourcing.

There are five methods that will help you make some serious

money. The step by step instructions for these methods are next!

Method #1: Twitter and ClickBank

ClickBank is a website that allows you to sign up to promote

products for other people to earn income, referred to as affiliate

marketing. If you are unfamiliar with ClickBank, go check it out

before reading further.

Now that you know at least a little about ClickBank, let’s talk

about how you can be a legitimate Fiverr outsourcer.

Step 1: Choose a product on ClickBank that can be

easily promoted to the general public.

Step 2: Copy the affiliate link provided; then go to bi.ly

to make a shortened version of the link.

Step 3: Copy and paste the shortened link.

Step 4: Visit the “Social Marketing” section on Fiverr

and look for listings like “I will tweet to my 10,000

followers for $5” or something similar. Purchase about 5

of these.

Step 5: Send the vendor the shortened URL with a

promo phrase like “WOW! Can’t believe how much

weight I lost thanks to bit.ly/55555.” (Change this to fit

whatever product you chose.) The vendors will send this

link and phrase to all their followers.

Step 6: Watch the money flow! A single sale may bring

in hundreds of dollars and you have spent only $25 to

make it happen!

Method #2: Facebook Likes

Facebook Likes are a hot commodity. Many people on Fiverr

will provide Facebook Likes for far less than market value. For

example, there are websites that will sell 1000 FB Likes for $80,

but on Fiverr there are vendors who will give you 500 FB Likes

for $5. That shows that there is a definite profit margin.

Find a domain name that is related to Facebook Fans or

Facebook Likes. Use a basic Wordpress template to set up a

basic site explaining that your company does Facebook

marketing. Set your cost (above $5) and set up your website.

Your website should generate several hundred dollars per week.

After 2-3 months of a profitable website, you can list the

website on Flipa and sell it. You will likely be able to sell it for

several thousand dollars. Just be sure to reinvest most of the

money back into you IM career!

Method #3: Backlinks

There are tons of gigs on Fiverr offering to submit your website

or blog to search engines and to create backlinks. Google loves

backlinks, so spending a little money here should more than

payoff in results from increased traffic to your site, where you

can sell visitors your products. WARNING: Be sure you ask for

proof that the vendor actually did what they said and get contact

details before sending your $5.

Method #4: Facebook Statuses

In one example, a vendor has offered to post a link to your site 3

times on their Facebook page. That doesn’t sound like much

until you realize the vendor has 82K fans on his page. You

should see a definite improvement in your traffic from this one!

You can also ask them to post an affiliate link for ClickBank.

You can do all sorts of creative things to increase sales on your

other sites like this, without having to do anything yourself!

Method #5: Graphic Design and Video

In the Graphics section of Fiverr, you will commonly find logos,

templates and banners. If you buy them, then mark them up

anywhere from $5 to $500 and resell them to larger companies

by being able to deliver quickly. A big money maker is selling

short video clips made on Adobe AfterEffects to clients for $500

or more. You should be able to get 3-4 clients a month for these

videos.

Graphics and logos can be sold for over $150 each. They are

easier to resell than the videos, and also have a great markup.

Create a basic website and use SEO techniques to get good

rankings.

(Since this book is about Fiverr, I won’t go into great detail

about how to do this. I am assuming that you probably already

know these basics.)

Method #6: YouTube Subscription Sales

This is the same idea as the Facebook Likes. Use the same

method, but when you sell the website on Flippa, you can expect

a much higher return, especially if you can show good profit for

6 months.

Method #7: Testimonial Agency

A very creative way to use the wealth of talent on Fiverr is to

create your own Testimonial Agency, using the people who

offer to make video testimonials for $5. You create a company

that will offer to provide companies with dozens of video

testimonials tailored to their product or service at a bulk price.

You can charge as little as $300 or as much as $800 for this,

depending on how many testimonials they need.

Method #8: Art

Again in the Graphics section of Fiverr, find a graphic designer

who will create a piece of vector art for $5. (It is very important

that it be VECTOR, so you can resize the piece without losing

resolution and clarity.) Some designers specialize in one type of

art (mascot design/characters, for example), but many will offer

more variety.

When you buy the digital piece from the designer, you also buy

the copyright. That means that you can replicate the piece in any

way you desire. You can make much more money through

replication than through selling the piece to a company at a

marked up price.

The value of art is only what a buyer sees in it. If you present it

correctly, you should see a good return on it in many forms. You

can sell it in the form of t-shirts and other clothing, mugs,

posters, calendars, magnets, or as a framed print. Let you

imagination run wild!

Be sure to ask for vector files or high res raster files, so you can

blow up the piece to any size you need.

You can set up an online shop and upload your designs on

several websites with very little trouble. Try

http://shop.carepress.com

http://www.greatincarduniverse.com/BEDiczhazy

http://www.zazzle.com/dndartstudio

to start.

How do you decide what kind of design to do? Obviously, you

want something that will sell easily. Parody is often popular and

a good way to get started. Under parody, you can legally sell

images that refer to and use famous people (for example, a

caricature). Just do your homework to make sure there is a

current demand for the topic and that you are not breaking any

copyright laws.

If you use a person’s image which is not parody, you are

infringing on copyright law. Parody is fun, which people want,

and doesn’t break the law. As an added bonus, many of the

graphic designers on Fiverr are very good at it!

Framed prints are usually higher priced items, so think about

targeting a specific niche with a framed print. Buy a variety of

images from the designers on Fiverr so that you can have a

variety of items to choose from in your store.

One of the most important things to consider with this method is

what kind of images are trending currently. If your images are

not currently hot, they won’t sell well. Work on tapping into

fads.

Method #9: Ebay and other auction sites

Once you have products to sell, you can venture onto sites such

as ebay. Copy the preview images from your store on

cafepress.com or zazzle.com so you can show them as products

that are ready to ship.

You can grab your images off the site in one of two ways. First,

try right clicking on the image and choosing “save image as…”.

Some sites don’t allow this method, so you will need to open the

site, and then press “prt scr” to take a screenshot. Then crop the

image to the portion of the page you need using a graphics

program and upload it to ebay or another auction site.

If you use Windows 7, you can also use the snipping tool to

capture the image from your online shop.

This can be advantageous because your product isn’t buried in a

huge list of other products that are very similar.

When you receive orders, simply enter a personal order on the

manufacturer’s website and enter an alternative delivery

address.

Method #10: Sell PLR reports

Reports addressing problems in the health, wealth, and

relationships niches are the most likely reports to sell. You can

check out some of the reports on Tradebit.com for ideas.

Buy a few that seem to answer a common problem, such as

weight loss (always a popular topic). Then create a listing that

promises to help solve that problem for $5.

For example, you might say, “I will send you dozens of

SECRET recipes that will help you lose weight fast!”

When you receive an order, simply attach the file in the Fiverr

delivery screen and send it off.

CONCLUSION

So this book doesn’t force a Tony Robbins motivational speech

down your throat, but it does give you the specific steps you can

take to start earning money on Fiverr.

You will have to invest a few dollars and a little time into

Fiverr, especially at the beginning, but you should see it pay off

if you follow these suggestions.

Internet Marketing isn’t easy, but as long as you keep at it, you

should see a return. By using the methods in this book and your

own creativity, they sky is the limit! The hardest part has been

done and put in this book, so get out there and start making

money!
