Top 5 Gigs on Fiverr

Top 5 Gigs on Fiverr




What is Fiver? 

Fiver describes itself as an 'online marketplace', offering tasks and services at a starting price of $5 USD. 

Indeed you'll find all sorts advertised on Fiverr. From popular online tasks such as SEO development, website or graphic design work, to people dressing up as comic book characters and holding a message of your choosing  

..if you don't believe me check here! 

So for the creative mind Fiverr is your oyster! However, if you are struggling to find inspiration here are 5 great Fiverr ideas that you can try yourself!

1. Video Spokesperson/Testimonials 


Are you well-spoken? 

Do you look distinguished and professional? 

Do you have a great accent? 

Are you just highly appealing on camera? 

If you're any (or all) of these then this might well be for you! Some of the most successful people on Fiverr are acting as a video spokesperson for companies and individuals.

It's smart to work with your best assets here. For example if you're a fitness buff and look the part you can get work advertising associated products. 

If you have an accent that is sought after (British is often popular, but so are many others) you may find yourself advertising a product or service where this is desirable!

The sky is the limit really, more inspiration and ideas can be found here


2. Proofreading 




We all remember seeing corrections like the above on our schoolwork! It quite literally pays to be punctual on Fiverr!

If you're better at spelling grammar and punctuation than the average person (certainly myself!) Then this could be the gig for you!

Businesses are always on the lookout for competent proofreaders, and it could prove a steady revenue stream if you're a skilled one.

Further information and inspiration can be found here.


3. Web Programming 



Do you know the basics of PHP, Java, C++, Ruby, Python or any other programming language? 

If so, congratulations! I wish I did! Simple programming tasks are a very popular revenue stream on Fiverr. 

If you can write simple codes, or you're confident enough to fix coding bugs and errors then get yourself here right away!

..And if you're like me and keen to learn for free check out Codecademy


4. User Testing  



A great simple one that just needs an internet connection or a smartphone!

Companies and individuals are always coming up with new websites, and more recently 'apps' that they require testing and rating before exposing to the public.

If you can offer a valuable critique, have used plenty of apps, or even have a bit of technical know-how, you should be doing this


5. Human Billboard 




Saved the strange one til the end! Yes, it actually exists as a concept on Fiverr. 

People will pay to see their advertising or a message of their choosing on your person! 

This message can be as simple as something scribbled on your cheek! 

Advertisers are looking for creativity and being creative pays on Fiverr! 

If you want inspiration here it is! 

A message on the cheek really is just the start ;)
