Fiverr

I have been familiar with Fiverr for about three years, and I can say that it is an excellent platform. Our domestic services can't even compare in terms of profitability and variety. Although I often hear that Russian freelancers find it difficult to break through and earn here. I agree, it really isn't easy, as it all depends on the choice of the client and their willingness to delegate work. However, in reality, you just need to properly and adequately offer your services. For example, when creating a gig (the local name for a service, similar to our "kwork," although in reality, Kwork is a copy of Fiverr, just that Kwork costs 500 rubles, while a gig is $5), it is important to pay attention to the title. It should briefly reflect the essence. Google Keyword Planner can help with tracking popular queries. Next, the description is limited to 1200 characters, so conciseness is also important here. But with a good text editor, you can emphasize words in italics or bold, break the text into paragraphs, and so on. An important element is the video. According to Fiverr's statistics, gigs with videos receive 220% more orders. You can also add upsells to the main service, but for that, you need a well-promoted account. They allow you to receive adequate payment depending on the complexity of the work. Don't forget about reviews, which help promote your gig among competitors. Finally, it is important to offer a refund in case of unsatisfactory results; this helps avoid negative reviews and increases trust (although it may also attract freeloaders). Overall, the right approach to work provides me with almost 100% occupancy and corresponding earnings. One account can contain up to 20 gigs, but the service does not prohibit creating multiple accounts. However, you will have to start promoting services from scratch on a new account.

The main advantage of all Western freelance platforms is the high income. Payments are made in dollars, and considering the current exchange rate, working on such platforms is much more profitable than on domestic ones. However, there are also some challenges. Firstly, you can't do without knowledge of English, and secondly, the competition is quite high. This particular service is global, which makes the competition even tougher. I work in design, creating logos and similar things, and I try not to overprice my services, so I usually take the minimum payment for my work. The platform deducts 1 dollar from this, which is a 20% commission. Thus, from a $5 order, I only get $4. The commission is indeed high, but the income is still significant. Orders are fulfilled as follows: I create an offer called a gig, and for it, I receive $5. They take authorship seriously here, so it's better not to download images from the internet but to take photos yourself, draw (if you have the skills), or order a logo for the service and profile. I promote my offers, receive reviews, and this helps to elevate them in the overall list, attracting more clients. Here, the client chooses the performer, not the other way around, as it happens on tender platforms. Considering the target queries in the search bar, it's important to approach the title and description of the service carefully. The earnings are decent, but they depend on luck. If you promote your offer correctly, it will be ordered frequently. It's better to create several gigs for greater reliability. On average, I develop about 20-30 logos a week across all my offers, and I manage to earn about $400-500 a month, which at the current exchange rate is around 30,000 rubles. As a side job that doesn't require an 8-hour workday in an office, it's an excellent option.

Starting to work on Fiverr is not that easy. Since it's a foreign platform, you need to use English. The interface is not translated into Russian, and there is no focus on the CIS. To receive payments, you have to connect PayPal, and dreaming about Qiwi or Yandex is pointless. As a result, cashing out earnings becomes more complicated, and you have to use exchangers. Considering the service fees, I receive about 30% less than what my work is worth. I work in design, including photo retouching, and although my English is not perfect, it's not critical for creating and editing beautiful images. I communicate with clients through a translator. To make any progress from scratch, I had to create fake accounts and order my own services to get positive reviews. At first, my work wasn't accepted, but after that, clients started to appear, and within a couple of weeks, I recouped the costs of the fake reviews. I haven't encountered any Russian-speaking clients. Overall, the platform offers a wide variety of services, many of which are in demand. Some people create tattoos, others write texts, and some compose music, and so on. There are hundreds of thousands of offers here. In principle, if you find your niche, you can achieve a good income.

I have been working on Fiverr for a long time, and thanks to well-thought-out offers, I receive stable orders in the SEO field. This particularly applies to increasing likes, views, and reviews, as well as search engine optimization and link building. I have already outsourced some tasks to a freelancer who charges only $100 a month, while my income from this is significantly higher. This platform has a huge traffic volume and is possibly the most popular one I have ever collaborated with, including on an international level. Currently, it has become much more challenging to break through with my services here; even undercutting prices doesn't help, so new freelancers rarely stick around. Payments are made with a slight delay, which serves as a guarantee of quality work. On Fiverr, you can monetize almost any service. Some tasks don't require special skills. For example, link building only requires mastering Xrumer or Senuke, and then you can focus on placing links, sending reports, and getting paid for it. Or rewriting, for which good money is paid here, while some freelancers simply use synonymizers to process the text.

I act as a client on Fiverr. Here, you can find thousands, if not millions, of potential freelancers, and I usually choose them based on the number of completed orders and the ratio of positive to negative reviews. Sometimes I give tasks to newcomers to save money. In reality, the $5 price is just a lure, as the actual services cost much more. Everyone makes money on upsells, which are add-ons to the main service that change the terms. For example, a service might be advertised as "I will do ..." for $5, but the upsells already specify the exact conditions: what will be done for $5, $10, $15, and so on. Newcomers do not have access to upsells, but to promote their accounts, they perform routine tasks for pennies, and this can be exploited. The quality of work is generally high, especially since in most cases you can request a refund if the result is completely unsatisfactory.

I have been working on this site for quite a while, and during this time I have noticed both positive and negative aspects. One of the main advantages is the ability to quickly find work. Orders appear here quite promptly. Moreover, there are many of them, and anyone, regardless of experience, can find a suitable option. As for the drawbacks, I would only mention one: sometimes payments are delayed. The first time, the money arrived only in the evening, even though I requested it in the morning. Overall, the site is decent, and it is possible to work here.

Not many people know about this exchange, as it is not as popular as others. However, it has its pros and cons. Before starting work, you need to register. The rating plays an important role: beginners only have access to small tasks. More attractive projects are reserved for experienced specialists. Naturally, no one will trust "green" workers with complex tasks. Additionally, there is a high commission here, which means your earnings will be lower. However, there is a significant advantage — payments are made in dollars, which allows for good earnings.

This platform allows you to quickly find tasks. Earning money here is quite easy, and even a beginner can complete basic tasks. If you have even the slightest skills in translation or writing articles, this site will help you earn your first money. Tasks are regularly updated, and you will always be able to find something suitable. The site has one drawback: it transfers money slowly and pays for completed tasks at a slow pace. But the main thing is that the site really pays out funds and does not deceive users. Withdrawing money to an electronic wallet is also simple. I recommend this site for earning, and I'm sure you will find it interesting here.

I came across Fiverr.com, and the platform immediately made a good impression on me, which happens quite rarely since I am well aware of how the Internet has changed. However, I had no doubts about this platform. I registered through the VK button, took the simplest order for $5 the same day, completed it in a couple of hours, and received payment the next day. Overall, I have no complaints: there are plenty of orders on any topic, and the volume and payment level reach $75, although I haven't taken such orders yet – I think I'm not ready for them just yet.

As a buyer, I order articles in English, but I face a serious problem - almost none of the performers can ensure the uniqueness of the text according to Advego. At first, everyone agrees, but then they start complaining that it’s not an English-speaking site. Moreover, I paid $70, but the performer only received $49.5. I know him outside of Fiverr; he just decided to start working on this platform, which is why I sent him orders through this site. The commission is quite high - almost 30% (29.3%). But that’s not all! The performer got blocked, and he can’t withdraw his money! He has no emails in his inbox, and the reason for the block remains unknown. You might say that mistakes happen, but this is already the second seller on Fiverr who has been blocked, even though I’ve only been using this platform for 2 months! I couldn’t find this acquaintance through search and filtering, only by entering his username.
