What Types Of Gigs Should I Offer On Fiverr?

What Type Of Gigs Sell Best On Fiverr?

Fiverr.Com is a great site for freelancers to offer their services. Though many people think of Fiverr as being more for graphic design, web design, and business related tasks, Fiverr is really about anything you could possibly need to hire anyone for.

Need someone to dress-up like a hippy or a clown and sing Happy Birthday to your friend on their special day? You can find it on Fiverr. Need to buy 10,000 Twitter followers and have them delivered in the next 24 hours...Fiverr got ya covered. Need your homemade rap album you made  in your basement remastered so you can throw it up for sale on iTunes, Fiverr has gigs for that too.

In terms of being a Fiverr seller there are some best practices such as always delivering on time, always delivering more than the customer is expecting and being responsive  to customer inquiries and requests. That said you should offer gigs that play to your strengths. If you're a writer don't try to offer SEO gigs if that is not your strength. If your music producer don't offer graphic design gigs, offer music gigs that play to your strength. Pretty much whatever skillsets and strengths you have someone is out there searching for them to perform some type of job or task.

A couple tips I do give to new Fiverr sellers is personally speaking I like to offer gigs which are pretty cut and dry in terms of whether the activity was performed. For example, something like I will Tweet  your message to my 10,000 Twitter Followers. I either did the gig and tweeted the message or I didn't but there's really no need to ask for revisions.

That said say I offer a design gig. I'm only making $4 after Fiverr takes their cut. If someone asks me to do 10 revisions and I wind up spending an hour and a half on the project, I'll probably be disapointed when my payday is only $4 for all that work. For that reason I like to offer either digital products or cut and dry services and not something where a buyer can claim they are unhappy and want me to redo the job 10 more times.

Now that isn't intended to turn you off to selling on Fiverr or even to turn you off from offering a certain type of gig. I know many grahpic designers make a killing on Fiverr but personally I like to stick to gigs that are fairly cut and dry.

Best of luck selling!!!
