The microjob concept is simple and yet immensely appealing: Spend a few minutes working and get a small payment. Work many such jobs and suddenly Fiverr starts to look like a genuine income stream.
The key to success on Fiverr is planning.
Make sure the task you want to perform will take less than an hour and that your schedule can accommodate many small tasks if need be. That last is important as some Fiverr users have found success beyond their expectations.Once such freelancer is writer FruityFia (Fiverr encourages anonymity). She has a full-time job and a family of eight, with 4 children between 5 and 15 years old, so for her, getting a second job just isn't an option. Her offer, writing 300 word articles for websites, is so popular she processes 10-20 orders a day, writing after the kids go to bed or whenever she can spare a moment.
While it's true that Fiverr keeps $1 out of every $5 and PayPal transfer fees are typically 8 cents, that's $39.20-$78.40 per day she wouldn't otherwise earn. For the first time last Christmas FruityFia was able to pay cash for gifts and avoid the dreaded January credit card bills.
If writing's not your forte, how about crafts?
Do you create handmade and distinctive jewelry? Several Fiverr sellers specialize in making small food objects out of modeling clay. Make photo collages, origami roses or greeting cards. $5 isn't the limit here; you can also set a reasonable amount for shipping your finished creation.Listing your task or craft (Fiverr calls it a gig) is free. So what are you waiting for?
