How To Make An Extra $5,000 Per Month With Fiverr Gigs

If you’re still working your 9-to-5 job and have dreams of saving enough money to pay off your student loans or to buy your own house, you probably don’t have the time or energy to build a full-fledged business from scratch. That’s where Fiverr comes in! On this platform, you can quickly and easily offer gigs (essentially small services) for as little as $5, allowing you to make an extra $500-$5000 per month on the side even if you’re already employed full-time.

Step 1) – Create an Account

Registration for a Fiverr account is completely free and pretty quick. Just enter your details and you’re good to go. Just remember that all orders on Fiverr are delivered via gig (meaning 1 x single delivery). The advantage of using Fiverr is that it allows you to create an online store where people can purchase multiple gigs at once—the downside is it’s significantly more difficult to become successful on fiver than it is with other freelance platforms. It’s up to you which platform you want to use—either way, it doesn’t matter as long as you deliver on time.

Step 2) – Choose Your Niche

Marketplaces are communities. The key to making extra money on a marketplace is choosing a niche that you’re passionate about and knowledgeable about. If you aren’t passionate about it or can’t find information about it online, don’t choose it. I recommend doing some research before you make your first purchase on Etsy to learn what types of items are popular in that category. Be sure to follow trends so your business will be successful!

Step 3) – Choose Services You Can Offer

The great thing about offering services online is that you have a variety of options to choose from. The next time you need to set aside several hours for cleaning or running errands for your friends and family, take a few minutes to brainstorm what services you could offer through an online marketplace like Fiverr. Need extra money? Create something! It's easy when there are so many skills that can be monetized nowadays. Check out our top 10 Fiverr gigs!

Step 4) – Promote Yourself

Promoting yourself is all about putting yourself out there. Take care of your personal brand by using social media and blogging to enhance your reputation as a freelance writer. Businesses have a tendency to trust writers they know, so it’s in your best interest to make them aware of your skills. The more you show off what you can do, the higher your chances are at getting hired for a paying gig! – Set Goals: If you want to be successful on Fiverr, set goals for yourself. Whether that means making $100 per month or reaching 500 orders, having something to strive towards will keep you motivated and working hard towards success. It also helps if you break down these goals into smaller tasks that are easier to manage on a daily basis (like writing 10 articles per day). Once you reach one goal, set another one!

Step 5) – Get Clients to Order From You

Fiverr isn’t just a marketplace for service providers to hawk their skills. You can also become a client and hire other people to provide services for you. In fact, doing so is actually encouraged by Fiverr. To attract clients from a wide range of fields—from graphic design to copywriting to editing—you need at least one five-star review on your profile (though more can always help). That will get your foot in the door and get potential clients looking at your work. As long as you offer good value through those gig orders—I mean really good value—your ratings will keep rising and you'll start attracting even more new clients.

Step 6) – Use Payment Tools Wisely

While having a cash-only gig seems like it would be easier to manage, there are many advantages to using a payment tool. Tools like PayPal or Stripe allow you to set up recurring payments and make sure that both parties' needs are being met: The customer doesn't have to worry about money owed and you don't have to worry about lost payments. From here on out, we'll refer to any third-party payment tools as payment tools. Remember that if your customer uses a payment tool then they'll have less of an incentive to leave positive feedback or even consider hiring you again. As such, make sure that you're providing real value and delivering your services quickly; excellent service will get customers coming back time and time again.

Step 7) – Follow Up on Work Done

Any time you hire a new employee, freelance worker or assign any task to anyone on your team, it’s important to check in with them periodically to make sure they’re staying on top of their deadlines and meeting your expectations. You might be surprised at how easy it is for things to slip through the cracks when you’re managing a team of individuals who all have unique responsibilities. Ensure that everyone is giving 100% at all times by checking in with them regularly and making suggestions as needed.
