I’ve been an on again off again freelancer at Fiverr.com for over three years. In that time, I have made thousands of dollars working from home and I want to share how I did it. My goal for 2019 will be to update you all quarterly and share how you can also use Fiverr for your needs – whether that is to become a seller and work full time from home or become a buyer and finally get those back burner projects done.
Summary of Fiverr Revenue by year
| Year | Order Count | Total Revenue | Comments |
| 2015 | 166 | $ 1,098.50 | Mid April through December |
| 2016 | 33 | $ 192.00 | Jan through March then a few sporadic orders by special request |
| 2017 | 7 | $ 60.00 | Handful of orders only by special request |
As you can see, there is a huge different for each year’s revenue. So you may be asking, what happened? The truth is 2015 was the only year when I was really pushing on generating income through Fiverr. I was a full time student and working with Fiverr was super flexible because I could make my own schedule. For 2016, I started working as a substitute teacher at the end of March and so Fiverr was no longer my primary source of work. Since then, I have only worked on Fiverr via special request but I want to change that now.
I am currently down on my seller level and I’m working towards reaching Level 2 again – I need to make an additional $750 in sales to reach this goal.
How can I user Fiverr to make my life easier?
Even though I have freelanced on Fiverr, it doesn’t mean I haven’t also ordered a few gigs on there, too. Fiverr is a place with a lot of freelancers, which can complete a ton of different projects for you. It’s also easy to find a seller in any budget range – even just $5!
A few things for which I have used Fiverr gigs:
- SEO updates on blog posts
- Image editing to remove backgrounds (Photoshop)
- Site testing
Time-saving Fiverr gigs you may be interested in trying:
- Personalized holiday greeting video
- Resume updates
- Genealogy research
- Cold calls
- Graphic design
Hopefully, I will be updating you all in December with an increase in sales and some more information on what I did to get there!
