What is Fiverr?
Definition and Overview
Fiverr is an online marketplace in a sense that connects freelancers with clients looking for various services, often referred to as “gigs.” The company was launched in 2010 with a simple concept: freelancers offer services starting at just $5. While the name “Fiverr” reflects this starting price, services now range from $5 to hundreds or even thousands of dollars, depending on the service, complexity, and expertise required.
Fiverr has grown significantly over the years, becoming one of the top platforms in the gig/freelance world. It caters to a wide range of categories, including graphic design, writing, programming, digital marketing, and many more. The user-friendly platform makes it easy for freelancers to offer their skills and clients to find the right person to offer these gigs for their projects.
How Fiverr Works
Creating Gigs

Profile Setup: A well-crafted profile is crucial. Include a professional photo, a brief bio, and a description of your skills and experience. This helps build trust with potential clients.
Gig Creation: To start offering services, you need to create “gigs.” Each gig is a specific service you offer. For example, if you’re a graphic designer, you might create gigs for logo design, business card design, and social media graphics. When creating a gig, you’ll need to:
- Choose a title that is clear and concise and that describes your service.
- Select an appropriate category and a subcategory for your gig.
- Write a detailed description of your service, including what you offer, the process, and any client requirements.
- Pricing: Set your price. Fiverr allows you to create packages (basic, standard, and premium) with different pricing tiers and service levels.
- Gallery: Upload high-quality images or videos that showcase your work. This is an essential step for attracting clients.
Tags: Use relevant tags to help your gig appear in search results.
Client Interaction
Receiving Orders: Once your gigs are live, clients can browse and place orders. You’ll receive notifications when someone orders your gig.
Communication: Fiverr has a built-in messaging system that allows you to communicate with clients. Clear and timely communication is essential to understanding client needs and delivering quality work. Do not communicate with clients outside of the messaging system. This is for your benefit as well as the clients’.
Delivering Work: After completing the work, you deliver it via Fiverr’s platform. The client can review the work that is submitted and request revisions if needed. Setting a limit for revisions can help manage expectations.
Payment:
- Earnings: Fiverr takes up to 20% commission on each transaction. For example, if you charge $100 for a gig, you’ll earn $80.
- Withdrawal: Once an order is marked as complete, your earnings are available for withdrawal after a 7 to 14-day clearing period. This withdrawal timeline does not apply to Logo Makers. You can withdraw funds via PayPal, bank transfer, or Fiverr Revenue Card.
Benefits of Using Fiverr
Global Reach: Fiverr connects you with clients worldwide, expanding your potential market.
Flexibility: You can offer services that fit your schedule and set your own rates.
Diverse Opportunities: With a wide range of categories, you can offer multiple services and tap into different markets.
