Here are Phillip’s top 3 tips to succeed on Fiverr:

1. Plan Ahead
When you want to build a product, you sometimes miss the minor details like ip, copyright, consistent branding, etc. To avoid this, it’s best to plan ahead, make a list of all the elements you need for your project to succeed and make sure you allocate enough time and budget for each element.

2. Find your seller
Once your plan is finalized, invest time in finding the right seller for your project. Check reviews, ask for a portfolio, or message them directly. Never book an order without contacting the seller first to make sure that you’re both on the same page. When in doubt, contact vid-concierge@fiverr.com!

3. Do a trial run
Have a large budget? Start small. Break your project up. Start with a partial version of your project, so you can test both the seller’s skills but also how you communicate with one another. If it works out, then you can feel more confident giving them more work.
