I Started a Fiverr Side Hustle 4 Months Ago

I decided to give Fiverr another try around 4 months ago.

I first joined the platform back in 2012 when all you could buy and sell were $5 gigs.

Now, the platform has totally transformed and some freelancers like Alex Fasulo are able to churn a full-time income (she makes around $400K per year) on Fiverr alone.

Here’s a progress report on how things have been going lately working through Fiverr…

Fiverr Progress Report — Month 4

If you want to look back at how it all started, you can check these out…

My Results So Far

How much Fiverr paid me in November

I rejoined Fiverr a few months ago.

My start on Fiverr felt fast and furious, kind of..well, compared to now.

I was getting around a dozen inquiries per week from people interested in booking my gigs. I’d book a few of those each week and I was making $300 to $400 per month.

After the holiday season ended in December, things totally slowed down.

Now, I get fewer inquiries per week and far fewer gigs booked.

In January, I booked one gig for $60 and that’s all she wrote for 2022!

Can you believe it?

Talk about sales slowing to a crawl.

What caused such a drastic dip?

Well, this is my first time working Fiverr through the holiday season. I don’t know if the season was driving sales or what else could have happened.

I can tell you that I did get one less than five-star review several weeks back.

Up until this happened, I got reviews from nearly every customer and they were perfect reviews.

Today, I have a 4.7 out of 5 star rating.

Not bad, if you ask me.

I can’t imagine that one poor review dropped my progress so much. The buyer was upset that they didn’t get more results from the shoutout they purchased.

Not much I can do there, short of offering another shoutout for free or at a big discount but, doing that might not guarantee they become a happy customer or revise their review.

I booked zero gigs in February.

I’ve booked zero gigs in March.

Where I have been getting some orders is Upwork…Upwork’s Project Catalog, that is.

I Tried Upwork’s Project Catalog — 60 Days Later

I Made Over 1,500% More!

Upwork’s Project Catalog is like Fiverr.

You create “projects” that you charge a flat fee for, like Fiverr’s gigs. They can include projects like:

Social media shoutouts
500-word blog posts
60-second Tik Tok video editing

There are tons of different projects you can put up for sale on Upwork.

I got one gig booked on the Project Catalog shortly after I got set up. It was for $20.

Then a few weeks later, I booked another gig that landed me nearly $400 before fees and a third gig that resulted from a referral from the first gig, for $100!

It’s been going well so far and I only have two projects posted!

That’s it!

So, that’s my progress report on month 4 of Fiverr.

Were you surprised at the results?

Are you Fiverr? If so, how have your results been so far?
