I’ve been doing it for over a year now and from my experience - it’s not only possible to make a living on Fiverr, but also make a good living doing something you love and having plenty of free time to invest in your further education and invaluable time with loved ones.

It’s important to note however, that considering I’m living in a European Country with an average salary being around $370 in private sector, averaging an income of around $2k on Fiverr could pretty much make you one of the wealthiest individuals in the neighborhood.

Working with a hypothetical assumption of a Fiverr Seller being able to earn, for example $2K, making a living in most of the Balkan region is not only possible, but will put you at a higher Salary range than for example, CEO of a Bank branch.

No jokes, a monthly salary of $1500 in my country’s mainstream private sector is considered astronomical and most individuals with phDs (including prestigious positions such as doctors, lawyers and finance experts) can only dream of attaining it (I’m completely serious).

On the other hand - making $2K when living in Paris, Geneva or Berlin is only enough to barely get you by with rents being in the range of $900 - $2000+, let alone the other living expenses…

So, making a living on Fiverr is absolutely possible, however in order to make a decent living in a developed economy (meaning you make $4K - $7K monthly), in my opinion you need to be really, really damn good.

That’s my two cents derived solely from personal experience.

Sure it is possible. Just like @richardbloch said, it depend on your country. Right know I’m making about 1000-1300$ per month which is more than 2x average salary in my country. If you’re living in western europe or USA/Australia 1k is not much really, but here it’s nice amount.

Also, after gaining few regular customers you can get sure that you won’t end living under the bridge. Buyers like that are really important in my opinion.

It’s a hoax. You would be better off investing your time in an intensive Mc Donalds management course. Sorry, but by asking this question you have flagged yourself as having the kind of mindset which most likely wouldn’t be able to cut it.

In that graphic in the first post are the legs from the same person?

It might not be obvious to the casual observer that this is a site which does the volume of sales it does, to be fair.

I would not be surprised if a million people worldwide earn their livings only from here.

It takes work and dedication to do it.

Seriously, But a graphic design is undertaken or Let’s say it’s not a fair market anymore on Fiverr. We seller need to provide $50 worth with a discount of $40, Or just say unlimited revision for $5. The one who earns a living from Fiverr is the one who’s gig are featured or lucky seo. otherwise, the sales we get are from the buyer’s who’s looking for Top notch and high-quality designs for a buck of only $5. lol

The conclusion, Be ready to get a lucky seo or featured on Fiverr, otherwise, you keep in mind that Fiverr is your secondary income source.

Allow me to disagree on that.

I understand it’s getting harder for new sellers to improve their business or reach certain levels within Fiverr, but the key to success is how you work, and what kind of work you deliver and not mere luck.

I am in Graphics and Design myself, I know what I’m saying.

In 5 years working here I’ve never been featured, not one of my Gigs, and I’ve used to have 5/6.

Now I work only with 2, and it’s because of personal reasons, and I could have more and easily live from Fiverr’s income.

Don’t be disappointed and say that “luck” is what someone needs, it takes more than that to succeed, and mostly it’s all in your own hands.

It all depends on your standard of “living” and what country you are from. If you listen to some “Freelancer” pros and cons about whatever website on youtube, there are a bunch, you will understand and know exactly how much you can expect from where ever you want to work online. The most important thing is to look at the type of traffic you want to sell to. That is the key to your growth moving upward, don’t get stuck in a loop.

My gigs are hard to find. Most seller’s have gigs that are not featured or lucky.

Yet I and millions of people earn livings here.

We work hard at this. We spend many more hours a week at this than a regular job.

It’s not a matter of being lucky.

Yes I believe it is very possible to make a living using Fiverr. I have my own full time business and I am making some nice extra money here. I don’t spend a huge amount of effort to push my gigs here though, I am sure if I did that I would make even more sales.

As it is I am averaging about $400 a month here.

It is not only possible but very doable if you are good. Fiverr is simply a reflection of the market so if you have something that the market needs, you are solving a problem and you will get orders. I have been making a living on FIverr for the past 9 months and it has surpassed what I make at my full time job. I still work full time and do Fiverr on the side which has doubled my salary and improved my family’s quality of life. Definitely not a hoax.

Here here.

I guess I got really lucky with my SEO by working on it every evening to the detriment of my social life.

Then I got really lucky by giving too much value, getting amazing reviews and becoming a rising talent as a new seller.

I’ll keep on working really hard in the hope I get lucky some more.
