mabelma Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I would love to know more about how you do this. Do you also program the themes or just design them and sell them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

think_big Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I have been around fiverr for a long time, but only started selling in the last few months.I am using fiverr to validate some methods I have taught others.I have marketing clients that I make about half of my money from and have systematized those methods into a SaaS model. I make the other half consulting/training business owners on sales and marketing, as well as solving problems for them. Most of the second method we are building into more of a course style method, I hate trading time for money. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjorscrusius Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 think_bigYou’re absolutely right freelancing on fiverr is trading time for money…No one likes trading time for money because its not a reliable source of income…Where as your Software as a service(SaaS) would be a great source of residual income for you and will help you generate money while you sleepThanks for sharing.Basically, all ‘traditional’ ways of earning money are based on the trade time for money principle.Only when you find ways to create a passive income, like with Saas, or a popular website with Ads, or why not even investing in stocks, you can start enjoying an income without having to trade time for it.Time is the one and only scarce resource we have. And I think that’s the beauty of being independent/freelancer. There is absolutely no difference between doing digital Gigs on Fiverr or being a self-employed plumber; you find your customers and do the work they pay you for in the shortest time you can. Time=money, literally. If I had more time, I could deliver more orders per day/week/month. But I don’t. So the only way for me to increase is to get better in what I do so I can increase my price.Having a (partial) passive income should be the no1 priority for all freelancers IMHO 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
