How I make $2,000-$3,000 on Fiverr each month

I honestly wouldn’t have even considered it if not for the guidance of my mentor and first big client when I started freelancing full-time. He’d been using it to sell social media management packages that he eventually converted to long-term client relationships.

With 4.5 years on the platform, I’ve seen Fiverr grow from having a bad reputation that stemmed from making every order start at $5, to a diverse marketplace of talented individuals who have learned how to make money on Fiverr by charging according to their skills and experience.

Between June 2015 and the date of this article’s publication, there’s been some variance in terms of how much work I’ve actually done through the platform. But I never left completely or went on an extended break, always maintaining a consistent presence.

It’s this consistency that’s helped me move up from one seller level to another.

I’m both a “Top Rated Seller” and a member of the Pro marketplace, which effectively puts me on the top of the totem pole for getting my Gigs surfaced in relevant searches on Fiverr — while also providing justification for my pricing.

It’s worth noting that you don’t become a Top Rated Seller or a member of the Pro marketplace without first being vetted by the Fiverr team. Unlike other Fiverr seller levels, neither happens automatically by achieving certain milestones.

It wasn’t until 2019 that I became a Top Rated Seller. Now more than ever, I get a consistently high quantity of new orders across all of my Gigs with minimal effort.

Perhaps because of how long I’ve been on the platform, and the nature of what I do (primarily content writing), Fiverr staff regularly reaches out to buy my Gigs.

I’ve written for And. co, Feed. me, some ghostwriting for Fiverr’s website, and have also been featured on Fiverr’s blog when I became a Pro seller.

How to make money on Fiverr

All of this is to say that I’ve definitely caught some lucky breaks on the platform but that I probably wouldn’t have been approached for them without having good consistency and tenure as a Fiverr seller.

Starting in 2019, I’ve made $2,000-$3,000 a month on Fiverr alone (which doesn’t represent the majority of my freelance income) — and I’m going to walk you through everything you need to do to learn how to make money on Fiverr.
