Fiverr Is Not For Perfectionists
 

I decided to try out selling a couple gigs on Fiverr. Just some logo designs, facebook page cover designs, and custom writing. I made $16 and it took me 12 hours :1orglaugh I can't sell something unless it's up to my standards and until it's been tweaked and re tweaked. Fiverr is not for me, lol.

Almost nothing good can be done for $5 in "real time".

Ouch! Even a kid with a snowblower would want $20 to clear the driveway in 15 minutes. :)

weird, it always sounded like such a great deal

Just give $5 service for $5

Anything else is an upsell

The value of $5 varies by where you are in the world

Absolutely. $5 is a lot in some places

Either a) you don't work fast/efficient enough
or b) you also live in the wrong place

We're all in trouble when all the rest of the world sorts out a & b at the same time.

With the value being so low here the only things I can see a profit in after the fees are delivering an item you can sell multiple times like an ebook or doing something with a script that you just have to click 'start' on.

Move to India, problem solved.

$1.33 per hour, nice salary :thumbsup

Hmmmmm....

Nevermind

You always give the best advice :)

I just started on fiverr too for shits n giggles and got my gig, took me about 45minutes to complete for the $4 that you actually get... so not worth my time! I totally over delivered too but next time ill not go all out on it.

There should be like a twentyfiverr.com lol I know I saw a clone that did everything for $10 but that's not a big enough difference.

Don't spend it all in one place.

its for people that live in places where $10 a day is alot of $$$
