Build Your Own Side Gig and Earn Thousands — Enough for A House

Then he discovered Fiverr, the world’s largest marketplace for digital services. Fiverr has listings for everything from scriptwriting to 3D animation to advertising jingles.

“I was amazed at how sellers were offering such amazing services starting at $5,” Bobby says. “I joined, but only as a buyer to outsource some of the work I needed for my web, graphics, and animation projects.”

However, the more Bobby used Fiverr, the more confident he became that he could leverage the platform to sell his own services.

When he heard that another Fiverr user was able to purchase a house with their Fiverr earnings, he decided to take the plunge.

“[It] was a turning point for me,” Bobby says. “I became serious about selling on Fiverr — with a goal of purchasing my own home!"

Freelancing made easy

Selling on Fiverr couldn’t be simpler — you just create your profile, list your gig, and you’re good to go.

Gigs on Fiverr can be for standard things like blogging, website design, and video editing, or for more “unique” services, such as:

• Recording your outgoing message as Mrs. Doubtfire.
• Drawing a cartoon of your pet in Victorian clothing.
• Complimenting you in a British accent.
• Creating a signature cocktail named after you.
• Writing a bio for your online dating profile.

You can list multiple gigs in a variety of disciplines, so if you’re a copyeditor by trade but also do an exceptional Morgan Freeman impersonation, you may be able to find buyers for both.

“Creating my first gig was super easy,” Bobby says. “I made a sale the first week and made more than 70 sales in the first month.”

Fiverr also offers a number of useful online courses to help you step up your freelancing game and stand out from the pack.

Once you start making sales, your customers will leave reviews of your work that can help attract new buyers.

As your reputation grows, you can increase the price of your services and make even more money.
