Tips -
1. Find your best skills - The first thing you need to do is sit down quietly and figure out the skills in which you are the strongest and stick to tasks related to them till you see some success.
For e.g. If you are a person who can design logos and websites, then you should create and sell those gigs in Fiverr that are focused on logo creation and web designing.
2. Do your initial homework - Before diving into gig creation you must do some research to ensure that the gig you are planning to offer has interested buyers.
What if you have a wonderful gig idea, but it didn't sell?
To avoid such situation you must undertake necessary research to understand what buyers in your niche are looking for.
3. Find popular gigs related to your skill set - One of the best ways of seeing success with Fiverr is to dig out the popular gigs related to your skill set, study them, then model your gig accordingly.
Most important metrics you should look while studying other gigs are its:

4. Craft your gig’s title - Now as you are ready with all the research data, jump into gig creation. Obviously, here title creation will be your first step.
Following are the steps you must follow to optimize your gig’s title.
- Based on your research data model your gig title, use intriguing words into the title to ensure it catches your target customers the attention and is relevant to him/her.
For e.g. If you are offering a logo designing gig. You should consider using titles such as
I’ll design 3 MAGNIFICENT logos in 24 hours
I’ll design a PROFESSIONAL logos with free revisions
I’ll design 2 STUNNING logos BONUS Free editable file
I’ll design a PROFESSIONAL logos with free revisions
I’ll design 2 STUNNING logos BONUS Free editable file
- All the above titles are beautifully crafted because they include two important things.
First, they all have intriguing words such as MAGNIFICIENT, PROFESSIONAL, STUNNING and BONUS. These words definitely help to catch the attention of the right people.
Second, they all are appealing to the most important aspects that any person who wants to design a logo is looking at.
For e.g. The first title “3 MAGNIFICENT logos in 24 hours” will appeal to the people who are in urgent need of a logo.
The second title “PROFESSIONAL logos with free revisions” will appeal to the kind of people who want the option of incorporating their changes into logo design.
The third title “2 STUNNING logos BONUS Free editable file” will appeal to the people who have some knowledge of logo designing and want to customize the logo on their own.
5. Create your gig’s image - While doing initial homework you must have observed that some gigs have better images than other which makes them really stand out.
Shortlist such images and take inspiration from them while modelling your image.
Once you’re ready with the initial idea use free online image editing tools such as Pixlr or BeFunky to create your gig’s image.
6. Write gig’s description - Your gig’s description plays an important role in convincing your potential customers to place an order with you.
So you must ensure that your gig's description is precise, clear and appealing to your potential customers.
Study other top related gig’s descriptions to get some inspiration and model your description on them.
Remember, don’t ever copy other gig’s description it will get you banned.
Just use theirs to get ideas for creating your unique description.
Also, make sure you’re listing your gig into the right category to maintain its relevancy.
7. Use right tags - Tags play most important role in ranking your gig higher.
Most people don’t realise its importance and ignore them, hence it provides you with the best opportunity to overtake them if you optimize your gig properly using accurate tags.
8. Apart from all the points mentioned above, you need to make sure that your work is credible and unique on Fiverr.
There might be many logo designers out there on Fiverr, but if you are the one who understands the needs of your clients and deliver the work in the best possible way then you’ll be able to secure them as your client for a long time.

Some gigs are funny, aren’t they, but I got to tell you these guys are making money from these gigs and what does that tell you? It tells you that anybody can offer anything on Fiverr and make money. And the beauty of it all is that, signing up with Fiverr is completely free. All you do is sign up and you can start to earn money right away. All Fiverr get for letting you use their platform is a little commission for each sale you make. They get 20% of what you earn. Seriously though, there are lots of ideas you can come up with to make money on Fiverr and I am going to show you some in a bit. But first you need to know how it works right? Now let’s talk about the people that make up Fiverr community.
The Fiverr Community
Two groups of people make up the Fiverr community — of course besides the Fiverr staffs — the buyers and the sellers. You can buy as well as sell on this site. Since you are here to make money, we will cover how to register and sell as a seller.
Buyers
Some people come here only to buy something on Fiverr from $5. Things they cannot get somewhere else or things they pay more for elsewhere. Some buy food recipes, poems, lyrics, stories, articles on how to raise children, artworks, logo designs etc. These people are what you are here for and to make money, you need to understand what they want. You need to satisfy their needs and you will make money. Most buyers don’t sell anything on Fiverr. They are here just to buy anything they want. Of course some sellers at some point need something too and you are going to sell to them too.
Sellers
Sellers are people who are on Fiverr basically to sell their services starting from $5. For every basic gig completed, the seller will get a minimum of $4 while Fiverr gets $1 as their own share of you using their website and also for bringing buyers to you. Each seller has a maximum of 20 gigs to offer on his account.
How much you make is entirely up to your efforts. Some get up to 20 or more jobs per day for just one gig and therefore make hundreds of dollars per day. If you can get at least a job per gig in a day over 20 gigs, that is like 20 jobs a day. Not bad for a simple job you can do right in your bedroom in your pyjamas, don’t you think? Now you ask if that is possible or not. Yeah it is but I have to warn you that, it is hard work, and you must be ready to really work hard at anything you do. However, do your research before you offer any service? If people are looking for it, then they will buy it.
How to Monetize -
Monetization is very simple. More people place orders with you more money you make.
Your delivery work influences your user ratings which directly affects your order placement.
The simple rule of thumb is, higher the user ratings, higher your orders will be.
Fiverr handles all your transactions securely so you don’t need to worry about any payment processing issues.
