I am going to show you how to make money on Fiverr step by step
If you didn’t know…
Fiverr is a marketplace where anyone can sign up and sell services from $5That can be anything from…
You can even get a video of your name in shells on a beach or hold your sign while skydiving.
If you have a browse through the available Fiverr gigs you will see how varied they are!
There really is a gig for everyone!
But here are 36x Fiverr gig ideas if you get stuck.
The best bit is anyone can learn how to make money online by signing up to Fiverr as a seller and starting selling their service.
This is exactly what Eze John did earning $1,644 in 30 days and you are about to learn the exact process he used to make money on Fiverr.
If you are looking for a way to get started online – it really doesn’t get any easier than this.
Credit to Eze John for revealing all of this, he could have easily packaged up what you’re about to learn as an eBook and sold it.
Instead, he chose to teach you how to make money on Fiverr free of charge!
What Will I Learn?
Eze John is 20 years old from Nigeria.
He is always looking for new ways to make money online and struck success with Fiverr.
He is going to share precisely how he made $1,644 in 30 days with his gig so you can do the same!
Fiverr is the leading marketplace for services starting at just $5.
Lots of people buy and sell services (and also products) every day through Fiverr.
The available services range from business promotion, social networking and advertisement to funny videos, graphic design and translations to mention just a few.
These offered services are called “GIGS” on Fiverr.
You can find almost anything you need. People from all over the world visit the site to offer their services and expertise.
Before I get into things let me show you proof of my earnings that get paid from my Fiverr account which is less than 40 days old.
As you can see it shows a total of $1,644 earned but has since gone on to earn nearly $2,000. I did all of this using a piece of software I bought for just $67.
So how did I manage to make that much money on Fiverr? First of all, I spent time looking at what other people are having success with to learn how they made money on Fiverr.
At the same time, I spotted an awesome product that helped me create animated videos really quickly.
So the idea for my gig was born – I’m going to create a video animation service offering things like whiteboard videos, 3D animation videos, hand drawn videos etc.
There is no big secret here – I just looked at what other people sold per gig and what I could make quickly and created some relevant gigs.
You could say that preparation met opportunity perfectly!
Here are some samples of the videos I was selling to give you a better idea-
Pretty cool videos right?
What a lot of people don’t realise is just how high the demand is for videos like this and they are super easy to make!
You can just create a gig for these kinds of videos today on Fiverr and start getting orders the same day – they are hugely popular!
As you can see the orders come flooding in for me to get paid.
You might be wondering how exactly I’m creating the videos and you’ll be glad to know it is really simple.
Not long ago a WSO appeared for Video Maker FX which is a simple piece of software to create animated videos. I paid $67 for it at the time.
The software makes it really easy and quick to make all kinds of different videos for all kinds of businesses in no time at all.
But there are tons of different types of gigs you can offer.Take a look at these 36x methods to make money on Fiverr for example.
So now I’ve shown you what I do and what I use to do it, now all you need to is how to make money on Fiverr yourself.
Just follow the steps below and you will learn how to make money on Fiverr easily-
First of all I bought Video Maker FX and spent time practising making videos of all different types with it.
It took me a couple of weeks of playing but I soon got the hang of being able to make videos quickly.
Once I knew I could produce awesome videos I created my Fiverr Gig.
I kept the title short and simple – “I will Create a Professional Whiteboard Animation Video In 24hours for $5.”
Here are some other titles I have used that did well-
Feel free to play around – you get the idea!
If you do a search for similar gigs you will notice some of them have better images than others that really stand out.
Do some searches and take some inspiration from the gig images that really stand out to you.
Once you have done that you can use PicFont.com to create your Fiverr gig image if you really want to stand out you can also hire someone on Fiverr to do it!
Your description is also a very important part of your gig that you need to get right.
Just like with the images I also search around Fiverr and look at what the other top sellers are doing and use their descriptions as inspiration.
Whatever you do, don’t copy their descriptions or you will get banned. Just use them as inspiration and come up with your own unique description.
One of the most important parts of your gig is setting up the tags and keywords.
A lot of people don’t realise this but having your gig tagged correctly is very important to the ranking of your gig in Fiverr’s search results.
Take a look at the picture above and you will see the tags I used and also set your gig delivery duration to “1 DAY”.
You also have the option of adding a video to your gig to make it stand out. Again this helps to boost rankings and sales so pay attention.
I just used Video Maker FX to make a catchy video for my gig, it doesn’t need to be anything special but shows off the service as well.
Once you have everything set up and your Fiverr gig is live you need to apply the secret sauce to get the gig ranking and sales flowing in.
This has been my secret for about 6 months that I have only shared with a few of my friends. I can rank any gig #1 for any keyword on Fiverr in less than 48 hours for any search term like “video animation”, “USA traffic” and so on.
Here is how I do it-
NOTE: You must have completed the previous steps for this to work.
Create a dummy Fiverr Account and buy your gig twice. Then give your gig a nice positive review (You will only lose $2 when you do this).
Now just send at least 250 fake hits/visitors to your Fiverr gig. This will boost your gigs impressions and make it more visible to cash at hand buyers.
If you don’t know how to get fake visitors, well you can just buy them from Fiverr but don’t go overboard with them.
Make sure you use accurate tags for your gigs and also include the keywords you want to rank for in the title and description.
If you are going to do a gig like the one I’ve shown you above you would use tags like-
Well, truth be told I do not do anything to promote my gigs outside of Fiverr. All I do is what I have shared with you in this tutorial.
There are over 1 million buyers on Fiverr so once I have ranked my gigs I do not need to promote them because I already have massive exposure to cash at hand buyers. Of course, if you want to take your freelancer gig to the next level and possibly land large corporate clients in the future, it may make sense to create a graphic design company offering services you can showcase on Fiverr as well.
So now you understand how to make money on Fiverr – what are you waiting for?
Go and make your first dollar online right now!
If you have any questions about how to make money with Fiverr then please feel free to ask them in the comments below and I will answer them for you.
If you are struggling to come up with ways to make money on Fiverr, check out my list of ideas below-
1. Video Testimonial
Video testimonials are used all over the web and there is a high demand for them from business owners. The best thing about this type of side gig is that all you need to have is your mobile phone!
2. Proofreading
How many times have you proofread your own writing, only to spot a mistake after publishing? That is why proofreading is a very essential and popular service to offer and if you have a good reputation you will be in high demand.
3. Transcription Service
Podcasts and videos are becoming more and more popular as time goes by and having these videos transcribed into text is mega important.
4. Document Conversion
Right now Kindles are hot. But many writers struggle to convert their content into a Kindle-friendly format. This is something which you can take advantage of.
5. Video Compression
Big video files result in slower transfers and slower websites. Many people either don’t know how to make these videos smaller without losing quality.
6. Writing Reviews
Reviews really are the bread and butter for any site. Whether it be products, apps, books or services that are being reviewed, they are mega important.
7. Niche Specific Writing
Content writing is a great way to get started because it costs nothing to set up – just your time. Rather than just posting a general writing gig, you should offer something more specific that you are interested in.
8. Create Social Media Pages
What a lot of new thriving businesses’ lack, is the time to set up social media pages correctly. That is where you come in!
9. Resume Writing
With the rate of unemployment higher than ever before there are loads of people looking for help to make themselves stand out from the crowd when applying for jobs.
10. Powerpoint Presentations
Lots of people need PowerPoint presentations put together on a daily basis. Take advantage of this by using some high-quality templates.

No problem – good luck 🙂
All in all, the article and the discussions are pretty interesting! Many thanks to both Eze and Matthew for helping people to make money online. My only advice to many of us is to take quick action! Having a great knowledge of things without putting it to practice is not different from somebody who doesn’t have any knowledge of things. One thing is ,though, common to these two people and that is: both have nothing to show off.
Very true, there is no substitute for hard work!
@ eze john, the link to the coaching did not open can i have you on facebook for coaching am in Nigeria. i will appreciate it.

I really want to make my gig on fiverr and I m so much confuse.Thanks you help me a lot by posting this blog.
What are you struggling with?
Appreciate this post! It brings up a question that’s been bugging me…I posted my 1st Gig on Fiver 24 hours ago, but no matter how I search for it (category/subcategory, tag, term used in heading) it can not be found. I even load up ALL of the gigs, narrowed down to New Arrival… it doesn’t display. So I tried logging on via a different browser while searching from the 1st browser… nothing. It’s Active and is under my Profile. Do you know how long it takes Fiverr to enable the display of a new gig?
I suggest you wait a couple of days before searching for it
This is brilliant, I’ve been wondering about a software like this and it’s great value. Thanks for the great post!! I will be bookmarking it!
No problem Nat 🙂
Please i have fiverr account i don’t no the next step please help
I would start by learning how to read blog posts from start to finish, shortly followed by how to use search boxes and ultimately learning about Google (but you’ll have to Google that)
Thanks so much may God bless you. I just need to know how the services are then offered to those that ordered it.
Well that’s the bit you need to think about and research 🙂
well, now everyone tryes to sell whiteboard animations on fiver… this is too saturated now.. tnx to blog posts like this lol
It’s thanks to people not having the ability to take what they have learned (input), think for themselves (process) and do something original (output).
I am selling my skills in WordPress. Do you think I, as a beginner, can start making money in 2016 when Fiverr is already saturated. Plz reply me. Waiting for reply. Thanks in advance.
Yeah for sure, look at services like http://wpfixit.com/ which are awesome!
How do I get fake visitors, and impressions? You say to to do it but not how it is done. I have searched on google and on fiverr and found nothing… except that it needs to be done to rank on fiverr…. where do I get fake impressions??? Please help..
Dear Matthew sir, After intensive search for genuine online income we are luck enough to find your page. sir, we are having an BPO with 8 PC and employees but we cannot able to find genuine process where we can earn money. Can you kindly help us in establishing the Fiverr as main process in our BPO. We do not know how to start please kindly send your facebook link so that we can chat through facebook and learn.Thank you
Just look at what other people are selling and then figure out how to make your own process around that

Thanks for your Replay, I really appreciate it, you Can try and test it ones you will definitely get the result
2 method to boost your visibility on FiverrVery First, Increase your Visitors By posting your Gig on goldexcel.com. This website brings you a huge number of real search engine visitors to your fiverr gig, posting is absolutely free. Goldexcel visitors would 99% buy your gig because it compare your gig with others and filter out the best suitable gig out of 120 websites and recommend users to go and buy. Rests of the other examples are follows Choose an appropriate gig tile describing your service in minimal words possible. After that, you need to use High Quality and relevant images in your Gig’s gallery. Try to explain your Gig’s service clearly in minimum words possible, and use appropriate tags. Try to use Bullet points, Bold/Italics/Underline, & Highlight to draw attention to the main thing. After its all done, do try to be better at rate than other freelancers. I know on Fiverr your gig says I will do this and that for $5, here is how you can propose a better rate. Let’s suppose your are offering English to Russian Translation services. Search for Russian Translation and see how many words others are offering, Lets say someone who had 50+ reviews was offering 300 words for 5$. Now you simply mention that you will translate 450 words for 5$. (Its just an example)Some Bloggers would said After adding relevant HQ images and right description with better rate, just save the gig and wait for your first order. Don’t Do this, I would Highly Recommend you do not wait for the order Just Go to Goldexcel.com Spend only $5 to access a premium mebership to get visitors accurate information. you will find below what kind of information you can be able to see.Premium Membership:1. You will be able to see visitor Country/city2. visitor name3. visitor IP Address4. visitors PhotoYour first priority should be client satisfaction as that brings you 5 star detailed reviews Detailed 5 star reviews at the start are very useful as people viewing your Gig page will notice it and no. of good words about your services will bring more order.Remember To Do 2 Things to increase your Sell:Update your gig details with time so that it sounds better andPost your Gig on Goldexcel and convert your visitors to fiverr. http://freeadverticeforfiverr.blogspot.in/2016/03/2-method-to-boost-your-visibility-on.html
I haven’t tested this myself but I am approving the comment for the sake of transparency
well, now everyone tryes to sell whiteboard animations on fiver… this is too saturated now.. tnx to blog posts like this lol
Hahaha well at some point people will understand they need to add their own pieces to the puzzle to make themselves stand out from the crowd 🙂
Hi,Just got my account created am into resume and cover letter jow do i go about getting buyers
You could advertise your gig on relevant forums
