How do people get a good income through Fiverr?

[seb3dmodelling]

I’m finding the money I earn on Fiverr is terrible. The money that people payed for the work I did was 530 dollars in the space of 2 weeks. But after Fiverr takes their cut and the currency gets changed from dollars to £ I only received £312. Why do people bother with Fiverr if they get such a small amount of money from what people actually pay you?

from what people actually pay you?

Then why not to put your prices up 20% to cover fiverr commission and receive the amount that you desire?
