You may be wondering why you would want to use a service such as Fiverr
(five-er) to start generating income. Of course the whole basis behind this
concept is the fact that you will be selling services to others that you will be
willing to do for only $5 per "gig". In reality, some things that you may want to
offer may seem to be worth more
than $5 at times but the sales model is designed to offer an affordable service
which is not impossible for most customers to purchase.
If you think about it, $5 is the perfect price to sell various sorts of services and
even some types of physical products that are cheap to send out and get to
your customers. It is always a good idea to try to find products or services you
can provide at $5 per gig. The interest in the Fiverr website has increased
greatly as more and more people have discovered the buying power of just $5
on Fiverr.
The Fiverr website service is also 100% free to join so you do not have to
worry about having to pay a monthly service fee to be a part of such a large
community of buyers. You will however only receive $4 profit from each sale
as a seller. This large amount of traffic to the website will help ensure that
you get several sales for your products or services.
All testimonials on the site are uncontrollable by the seller. This means that
for every positive feedback that you receive you will be getting a positive view
on your Fiverr business. This also means that you will want to reduce the
amount of negative feedback scores that you receive by providing a superior
service or product and delivering it within a timely manner.
Since Fiverr is a great place to sell, you will really want to conduct your
business on the site in the most truthful and honest way possible. Ensure that
you always follow all of the rules and regulations of Fiverr as well as the
Terms of Service for the website. Never attempt to scam or falsely represent
yourself, your products or services and expect people to just hand you money.
Fiverr can and will permanently disable your account as well as withhold
payments made to your account for safety clearing. Creating an account for
Fiverr will require you to go through a simple setup
process. You can go with one of two routes when doing this.
You will want to direct your preferred internet browser to www.fiverr.com to
get started. Note: you may have created an account already but make sure to
read this portion of the ebook to learn more about setting up your profile.
The first method is by connecting with Facebook Connect. This newer feature
makes it possible to create an account using an existing Facebook account.
You will need to choose a username and provide a valid email address and
agree to the terms of service for the account. Then you will be able to join
using the details that you have provided. Once the Fiverr website has verified
your choice in username and email, your account will be created.
Alternatively, the plain, non-Facebook connect account creation dialog is very
similar and will require you to provide an email address, a username and a
password. Once you agree to the terms of service and solve a simple
arithmetic problem to prove you are human, you can click on the "Join"
button to create your account. The website verifies the information you have
provided, and your new Fiverr account will be created and active.
