ttzachii (a.k.a. Tzachi) will create a mobile app for you on Fiverr. He started out as a buyer about a year ago and decided to try his luck selling mobile programming services. With very little expectations he set up a Gig and waited to see what would happen.
Today, Fiverr is his main source of income, but what’s really impressive is that he makes an average of $30-$50 per order.
Now, I know you’re thinking…. Whaaat?! It sounds impossible right? How is he able to make so much on Fiverr where everything starts at $5? Well, he’s about to share that info with all of you.
So without further delay, give it up for Ttzachii!
Growing my $5 service
I offer a full service, this means buyers can come and get a complete project made by me. When I first started on Fiverr, each $5 Gig was a different service that complemented the other, so that together, they made up a full project. Then I was promoting these other services both before and after the order was made. This helped me to earn more money and build my profile with feedback.
Once I got Levels, I simply used all the Extras I could, it didn’t take long to update the prices since I was ready and waiting for it.
The idea is to provide the entire service in pieces and promote it as much as possible when talking to buyers. Make sure they know that there’s no need to pay higher fees somewhere else to complete their project. It’s better for them since they only need to explain what they need once and it’s taken care of.
The best part is, this strategy works no matter what services you offer. The key is to think big and then make it work by breaking down each service into something you can do for $5. You’ll see that orders can really start to add up when you do this.
Making my buyer’s life easier
The service I offer is very complex. My buyer needs to choose content and functions for their app. To make it easy for my buyer (and myself), I built an online form for my Fiverr orders. This is a fast way for me and the buyer to understand what they need and expect.
When the form is filled the information is sent to me. The buyer can also save it and review it to see if there’s anything that they want to change. This set up helps to save a lot of time.
My best tips
First, you need to have a great service with excellent communication. Your buyer should be so amazed with what they get from your Gig that they see the value in adding Extras. When you deliver the Extras, they should be even more amazed. This way they might come back and even spread the word about you to others.
Use the Extras! I see sellers that simply don’t offer them and this is a big mistake. If you aren’t sure about what service to provide as Extras, start thinking about your Gigs as a “one stop shop”. There must be services that someone buying your Gig will need. Add those to provide the complete package.
If your initial Gig already offers a full package, then maybe you are giving away too much for too little. Think of a way to break down this service into steps.
Finally, always promote your Extras. Let buyers know about your Extras when you are chatting with them before they place the order and after they place the order. Your buyer can add Extras after the order was placed and even after it’s delivered. I know it sounds pushy, but trust me, it works ;)
Thanks ttzachii for these super helpful tips!
