Using Fiverr To Earn Supplemental Income

By Wilson Resturbee


By now you have probably heard about Fiverr.com. In case you couldn't, Fiverr.com is a portal through which people offer and are hired to do quick jobs for five dollars per job. To make the most of it, you simply offer to do jobs that you don't mind doing or that you can do quickly and for only five dollars per job. Obviously this isn't meant to be a full time career but it is a great way to earn some supplemental income that you can use either for fun or to help build other portions of your business. The great thing is that you can take jobs through Fiverr.com that are easy to do in your spare time. Here are a few ideas you can use for inspiration.

Offer five minutes of teaching on a subject that you already know about. You can offer the basics on search engine optimization, how to get links, how to compose a headline, etc. Since you're in the field of Internet marketing, stick with what you know. This way you can establish yourself as an expert in the field to beginners and build your reputation.

Offer to hand out or to post fliers for someone. You can easily do this in your community. It is a good method for getting exposed to local clients. They can get to know you and you can get to know them. As you continue working on one project, you can get it changed into another job that will last even longer. For example, you could create the flier as another possible five dollar gig. You could try to get their web business or help out at trade shows with the fliers. You just want to get an introduction. It will depend on you to create more opportunities in the future.

Use this site to sell your products. Sell the product you've created on Fiverr.com; it's much better than collecting virtual dust on your hard drive.

This isn't a platform that is limited to services. You don't have to go through all the effort of setting up your product on Clickbank when you do things this way. Anybody who buys it will know that it was put together quickly. Don't forget that this can be a useful opportunity to advertise your own professional skills in the field you've chosen.

Write up quick product reviews for buyers. By limiting your reviewing services to items that are not physically loaded onto your computer you can take a load off your mind and eliminate a potential fear factor that would prevent you from taking on projects such as this. Your reviews can help people make important buying decisions. If your write a thorough and well though out review you may even be able to leverage this into a consulting job. You could, if you work hard at it, turn it into a design or development gig as well. The number of little jobs that you could perform on Fiverr.com are numerous. The way to make money with this particular task is to perform services that are quick, fast and can be done more than one time. Also, make sure that you do not mind getting paid peanuts for doing them. Obviously, you are aware that you cannot make a living from Fiverr.com . But, it is a good source of supplemental income.
