My Fiverr Experience – Diariles

My Fiverr name (for it is not my real one) is Michelle.  Once upon a time, when I first started making videos over two years ago, I tried to use different names for every video.  That idea was short lived, and I have since adapted Michelle for every video I do unless my buyers specify otherwise.  You see, on Fiverr.com, I am most renowned for my video testimonials.

The main reason I am on Fiverr is because it fits so easily into my schedule.  Working online, I can do gigs whenever I have the time to – even if that’s at three o’clock in the morning.  As an actor in real life, it allows me the freedom to go to any spur-of-the-moment auditions and take as much time off as I like for shoots, vacations, etc.  I also go to school full-time.  Between acting, college, marriage, and friends – plus some “me” time every now and again – I am allowed all the flexibility I need with my schedule while working on Fiverr.  That was something that I found particularly problematic in attaining when working a “normal” job, so to speak.

I have no job outside of Fiverr.  I used to (and I would often have to give up an entire day off to get through my Fiverr gigs when I did both), but I quit just before pursuing my degree full-time.  I don’t make enough to live on my own via Fiverr, but it’s a fantastic supplemental income to my husband’s job.  I only know of a few sellers (two that come to mind) who are able to make survivable incomes through the website alone.

If you’re interested in getting involved with Fiverr, I suggest searching Fiverr to see what gigs are already around.  The reason I’ve been so successful on the website is because I found a market that no one else, or very few other people, had tapped into at the time – video marketing.  I was one of the first people to offer video testimonials on Fiverr.  It got me featured on the website, which has tremendously impacted the amount of orders I receive.  The most important thing to do on Fiverr is to create something unique – or mostly unique.  If you can do that, you can monopolize the market until other people start copying you, at which point you’ll already be established (and hopefully featured).

I was introduced to Fiverr through my best friend, and I’ve since turned several other people I know onto it.  While I would never suggest for anyone to take up Fiverr in place of their day job, if you’re looking for a legitimate website to make a few extra bucks, $4 per sale adds up quite nicely!
