How much can you earn on Fiverr and how to sell on fiverr 2025 If you have not heard of Fiverr as a way to make money, then you must be living in a difficult situation. It is a hot topic in the side business community. I will explain everything about Fiverr, including frequently asked questions about how much you can earn on Fiverr.
What exactly is Fiverr?
Fiverr is a website where people can sell their own skills or buy the skills of others. For freelancers, this is an ideal market to provide global customers with their skills on a comfortable laptop-I already love it!
Fiverr was founded in 2010 by Micha Kaufman and Shai Wininger in Israel. The concept is relatively simple. A website where a real person can buy and sell digital services on a global scale. It continues to grow, and in 2020, they reported a revenue of $207.1 million in fiscal year 2024. Not too shabby!
How does Fiverr work?
Well, I heard you say "The founder makes money very well, but how do I make money!". People make money by selling the services they can provide.
This is called a "show" and sellers can choose the selling price and any other discounts they can offer.
These additional services are called performance packages, and the price range may vary. These performance packages can really increase your income, so be sure to price them at competitive prices.
What services can you sell?
The concept of Fiverr is that you can basically sell any type of digital service. Ten thoughts in my mind:
- Write/update resume and cover letter.
- Sales SEO and keyword assistance.
- Creation and management of electronic forms.
- Company logo and banner.
- Create a website and/or maintain it.
- Design business cards.
- 3D rendering.
- Airbrush and edit photos/images.
- Design an e-book cover.
- Transcription and translation.
Like I said, these are just my head, not exhaustive. The sky is infinite, because anything you take for granted that you can do digitally can provide and profit from it.
How do I register and earn income?
As a freelancer, you can sign up for Fiverr for free. Then, you can continue to set up your first "show" (a service you must provide).
Then, everyone on Fiverr can see your show, remember, this is also global! Once you receive the order (you receive a notification via email), you can chat with the buyer through the secure messaging portal.
When the service is completed and your payment is forwarded to you, you will be paid. Since Fiverr handles all payments, there are no invoices or chases.
Did you know that someone pays for a show on Fiverr every 4 seconds? crazy!
Be sure to keep all the information and communication between you and the buyer on Fiverr. Don't try to switch to email or (or worse) phone calls/texts. It also ensures that the service is completed correctly and is an audit trail of any unpleasant things that happen.
How much can you earn on Fiverr?
As for how much price you can charge for your services, in some respects, the sky is the limit. Fiverr allows you to charge a minimum of $5 (hence the name) and a maximum of $995.
However, don't try to increase prices and assume that people will pay for it. The key to making money on Fiverr is not to get yourself out of the market, but to stay competitive.
When you join Fiverr, it recommends that you do some research before you start setting prices. First check the competitors and check the basic common sense of the services they provide and the charges. Make sure you figure out how much you need to cover your own costs (time, materials, amount of work involved), and then calculate your profit. Before listing your services for sale, it is important to understand what you will get from each "show."
how much does it cost in Fiverr ?
Fiverr is very keen that its freelancers can keep 80% of every transaction. That being said, (of course) there are costs associated with being part of the Fiverr community.
Although joining Fiverr and publishing "shows" are free, the remaining 20% of your transaction will go directly to Fiverr.
Although my 20% seems steep, the concept is simple-they won't get paid until you do this. Essentially, you can post 100 shows, and each show will not cost you a cent until you get paid. When you do, they will get paid. Fiverr is open to charging 20%, so it is very simple to include it in the calculation when calculating the price of the show.
Make sure that the price you calculate includes your own costs, Fiverr's 20% fee, and your satisfactory profit figures, and you will go further on Fiverr. Some people are very successful in this area, and they actually run a full-time business with it!
As long as you price yourself at a competitive price while ensuring that you are also profitable, it is possible to earn a full-time income from Fiverr. The work you put in will indeed be converted into your income for each performance. I have had great success on Fiverr, and after writing this article, I really want to start again.
