Over the years, Fiverr has become a serious business. It is currently ranked as one of the largest freelance platforms and offers a wide range of services.
What is Fiverr?
In short, it is a place where people offer their services starting from $5, which is considered a standard.
On Fiverr you can find literally everything from design for your Facebook or Youtube cover, video intro for your channel, logo or business card design, voiceover, website design, personal assistants and even meaningless gigs like someone singing "happy new year".
From professional services to pointless ones, Fiverr has it all.
Of course for $5 you can hardly expect someone to make you a top site, video presentation and the like but this is just the beginning, prices vary and custom packages are possible where you agree on the price.
Let's say in the range of $5-30 you can get really great graphic works such as logos, banners, Youtube design, Facebook covers, profiles and any graphic work. Fixes for minor bugs on the website or, say, a webview mobile application that, for example, turns your site into a mobile application with the ability to integrate mobile ads or smaller custom solutions.
The possibilities are great depending on what you need, but you need to be realistic in your expectations. For someone who is not experienced in this field and wants to improve his presentation or the service he offers, these are really good prices.
How does Fiverr work?
Like any site, you need to register on it first. Then, depending on whether you offer services or search for a freelancer to hire, you have two options - find a freelancer or place an ad.
Finding a Freelancer:
You can use a search that is really well organized or search by categories for the service you want.
Freelancers are sorted into several categories from beginners to those at top rated levels, and of course the prices vary.
Once you find what you are interested in you can order a service or contact the seller first to talk about the details if you are interested in something beyond the options offered.
When ordering, you are offered additional options offered by the seller as well as filling in all the necessary information to provide you with the highest quality service.
At the end of the order you pay and you wait. Fiverr has extremely good support, so as long as you pay through the fiverr platform you are safe.
Payment options:
- Credit / Debit Cards
- Apple Pay
- Paypal
Offering a service / gig:
By opening a profile on Fiverr you can also sell services. If you have a skill that you want to sell, nothing prevents you from placing an ad.
With the Create a new Gig option, you are asked to fill in all the details of what you're offering. The better and more professionally you create your ad, the greater the chances that someone will contact you and ultimately buy from you. It is desirable to post some examples of past work so that the buyer can see something like a portfolio.
It is definitely recommended that you do not rush and get to know the platform well before placing ads, purely to give yourself the best possible chance. You are not the only one offering services, so try to look serious.
Conclusion
Fiverr is a serious and 100% secure platform whether you are looking to hire a freelancer or selling services in the range of $5-xxxx. I also use it as a customer for some small jobs that take up too much of my time.
