How to make the perfect Fiverr account
Fiverr is one of my favorite freelancing sites. I've been on a few but this site stands out the most and holds a special place in my heart because I was able to take myself out of debt working on this site. When I say debt, I don't mean a small figure either. At the time I started Fiverr I was a university student who had my tuition and other loans to pay off. Know the feeling? By the time I had graduated all the loans were already paid for with the help of freelancing of Fiverr.
If you've never heard of the term freelancing before, it simply means you're selling your services in exchange for money. A lot of people have been turning to freelancing and blogging because they want to escape the dreaded 9-5 for something a little more exciting. Freelancing can be fun and rewarding but it can be time-consuming also.
Below is a screenshot of my earnings for the month of September 2017. It's definitely not my best month but it definitely got the bills paid.
Now, many have tried Fiverr and have never been able to make a dollar and some have been doing excellent on the site. The thing about sites like Fiverr is, you have to spend some time setting up your account the right way. Some people aren't dedicated to setting up their profiles and expect to make millions off the site. If you can't find time to make a professional fiverr account, why should anyone take you or your account seriously?
