Fiverr

I personally like Fiverr but it gets harder to sell on there now. Also, the fee that Fiverr wants to have is crazy.

Fiverr fees are too high for my liking. I mean come on, there's a ridiculously high 20% fee on transactions made through their site. Buying there is fine and there are some very good services for sale there... Selling, on the other hand, is very annoying and painfully expensive.

You guys are going to make me go to Google to see what Fivver is. I've been hearing a lot about this internet company, but is it really worth my time? Does it make any real money?

I have used Fivver a couple of times. I have always been pleased with the results. There are a lot of talented people on there. I think some people use this site as a way to get the word out about their services while still also making a few dollars.

That sounds like a plan. Maybe if you can make it an offer that's very difficult to turn down, you can actually promote yourself very easily and, like you said, make a few bucks in the process. I think I might just revive one of my Fiverr gigs with a new pricing scheme.

Exactly. And the most you're ever going to get from 1 Fiverr sales is 5 bucks without the transaction fee.

Fivver.com is an awesome invention, I used it and it's a great concept for my business. It's a network where one can offer their services, or some may call it not a service but gigs. Fiverr.com has become well known due to the viral spread as it has become a way to earn fast and quick cash online.

It's nice to read some good reviews on Fivver. I discovered it a few months ago, but was skeptical about the site. After researching I decided not to bother signing up. I was reminded about the site again when I discovered a thread on another forum. The thread was nearly twenty pages long and advised people to stay away from Fivver. I just peeked in the thread to browse through the comments. Most of them were negative. I may give it a shot since most of you seem to have positive things to say.

Basically this is how it works. You make a gig (that's what a job is called on Fiverr). This gig sells for 5usd. You get only 4usd. 14 days after completion of the gig. That's the bad news.

Now the good news.

You can make two kinds of gigs. One is to make some money. In this case, you price the gig such that you can do something that will give you some income. Don't expect to get rich, though. The other kind of gig is one where you promote yourself. In such a case, you price the gig such that it's like an offer that can hardly be turned down. The idea is not to make money. The aim of such a gig is to promote yourself.

Yes it's really good they have a review system built in! I'm actually kind of liking it so I can see if their service actually worked or not.

I'm not a big fan of Fiverr. I tried to post my gig on there, but I was unable to upload a photo, which is necessary before they will post your gig. Plus, I think a lot of people are being taken advantage of on there. Some people will write a 500-word article for just $5, which is ridiculous. Other people will somehow get you 500 Twitter followers for $5. This kind of outsourcing is really like working in a third-world country.
