Starting and Building a Side Hustle with Fiverr
In order to produce the podcast and keep content up free for you, I work with partners so this post may contain affiliate links. Please read my full disclosure for more info.
Having finished the Fiverr Hustle Challenge, I can tell you that it's possible to earn some money through the site.
Will you be an instant success?
No, it takes work to build up any business, but Fiverr is a fantastic ecosystem for entrepreneurs.
Carefully Choosing Your First Gig
Your first instinct may be to jump into the more profitable gigs so you can make money faster, but that can backfire in a big way.
Make sure you're delivering quality work in reasonable time frame so be realistic with your schedule.
How much time can you devote for your gigs? If you have other responsibilities like a day job or staying home with the kids, then pick a gig that allows you to work around them.
Since I work from home and I have two little ones to watch, I signed up with work that aligned with what I was currently doing.
That meant that getting a podcast intro done or creating a marketing plan would be a small blip in my schedule, but would add some cash in the bank.
How to Boost Your Fiverr Sales
I don't think anyone starts a side hustle with dreaming of building a healthy income stream.
It's easier said then done, but if you're willing to put in the work, Fiverr makes it easier for you to get rewarded.
Since this was my first experience using Fiverr as a seller, I dug around to find resources to get me ahead of the pack.
One of my favorites was Side Hustle Nation. Nick has created a system for multiple income streams and he interviews entrepreneurs who are at the top of their game.
With Fiverr, he has some great content, including:
- How I Got on the Homepage of Fiverr and Earned $920 in 10 Days
- Beyond $5: 5 Fiverr Gigs with High Average Order Values
- How One Fiverr Seller Earned Enough Cash to Buy a House
