The maximum gig price for a non-Pro seller is $995 (for custom offers I think it’s about $5000) so it wouldn’t be possible to create that gig, at least unless you were a Pro verified seller).

I will keep this Offer as a Custom Order with price mentioned… 😃 Thanks for pointing that out… Now I will wait for that moment when Fiverr verified me as Pro Seller… 😃

So right now can’t invest money and time on Dropshiping site. Maybe someday

I understand. It is hard to switch professions, especially if it is something you are not interested in…

It is hard sometimes to see other sellers posting their success stories but they never mention

“I earned 20000$ last year” - and then add in the end “in voice over category”

“I earned 10000$ last year” in translation category

  • in writing category

You do not see people in design category that started recently with those numbers.

I am almost at my one year on fiverr as designer and I am at 3784$. if you divide that with 365 days I worked all day for 10 dollars.

When I see that another Fiverr seller made 100000 in last year and that money could sustain me and my family for lifetime (30-60 years minimum) I can not write congratulations without feeling envy.

But that could also be said for surgeons. They make more money in 7 days then me in lifetime.

Why did not I become surgeon?

Why I can’t push a ball around the green field and get 10000$ per minute?

Why I can’t sell the water I bath in and become millionaire over night?

Why I can’t make videos of me eating and become millionaire in a year?

Bottom line, life sucks.

You are born, then it sucks, then you die.

I will copy your IDEA 😃

On a serious note, it would be super tempting if I could make 2 accounts, to make one just to offer weird gigs and see what happens. But I can’t and I don’t want those weird gigs affecting the sells of my only working gig right now. Sad thing is I probably never will make 100 000$ per year with what I offer. What I do take too much time so I’m limited in the amount of order I can do at the same time. My only option would be to upgrade my prices, but illustrators are ridiculously cheap here. Upgrading my prices enough to make that much money would mean I’d be the most expensive illustrator on Fiverr and I don’t think my skills are nearly good enough for that.

This week somebody wrote to me on Facebook. They wanted me to do the logo for their project. (I started to take logo orders recently, delivered my first logo yesterday on Fiverr and got a 5 stars review and a really good tip) I was honest and did it for the same price I do on Fiverr (60$). The guy then tells me he went to a professional logo designer and that he was charging him 1000$ for the logo and how the price was outrageous. Since I wasn’t on Fiverr it was really tempting to just tell him to go !#@$$#@ himself. Making a GOOD logo takes way more time and is way more complicated than people think. I’ll be working for around 1$ per hour for his logo, that’s the outrageous thing here.

Meanwhile, Belle Delphine is getting rich by selling her bath water and youtubers are getting viral by drinking it on Youtube. I get marinapomorac 's frustration here. :woman_facepalming:

Rant over, lol.

You know, if Fiverr were to collect their usual 20% fee on this one, you may single-handedly affect change to the platform that could make Fiverr the Number One freelance site.

I like it.

20%… means this type of gig is very much beneficial for Fiverr… They will get 200k per order… omg… 😃

I can honestly say that being just a buyer from 2017-2020, I thought Fiverr is just a scam all over; many “designers” steal money from unknowledged civilians paying for something they need but have no clue what it is.

I actually created a gig in the same spirit as you; it was “I will do nothing if you pay me” because my life was working every day for 12-16 hours a day, so I wanted to allow people to torture me by paying me to do nothing. (Seriously, I love to work, so the concept of not working for and the hour is pure torture)

Then I joined the forum and realized that people are just simple-minded and frauds, and that is industry standard, but you can get clients that get burned by those sellers and still want to continue to work on Fiverr, hoping to get good sellers.

Most of my first sales were clients from other sellers (scammers).

Now I make barely food money on Fiverr, 1$ per hour of work, but that is because I work in over-saturated categories.

If you start learning about how to make a dropshiping site and how to research the market and product that sells, you can make 100000 a year.

This applies to everyone. I make enough to live comfortably and invest, but still, 100k a year is serious cash and would allow me to retire faster. The problem with freelancing is that it’s always somewhat transitional - you can’t keep doing the same thing for 30 years. You need to make money fast and cash out, because the market changes rapidly, technology changes rapidly, competition changes rapidly, etc.

Sometimes you will be lucky, and do well, but luck runs out. So there’s always this pressure of making it, having enough to start creating diversified investments and passive income for when the market dries up (and it will).

Fiverr would take 200k. They are an 8 billion dollar company, I don’t think that would change anything lol.

If you can know that now, you’ll be rich. Nobody can predict the future. It stands to reason it will be something incompatible with automation (so, creative, human in some way), with high demand, probably high barrier of entry (to decrease competition), etc.

Now, what exact job will have the best combination of those factors in 10, 20, 30 years? Impossible to tell.

What is easy to tell is what will be absolutely destroyed.

Image background removal and quick image retouching jobs (automatable),

Non literary translation between major language pairs (will be automated soon to a good enough standard. Will be good enough for website copy, product descriptions, etc.),

Logomaker style stuff (if it’s just a matter of picking a logo from a bunch of options, might as well start getting logos “designed” by a bot - they can design infinitely many combinations to show me),

Etc.

The productised thing made by a human will drop, hard. A machine can make a productised thing. What it can’t do is bespoke, creative, unique pieces for each customer. The human touch will always sell.

He doesn’t predict. He does. And what he does you want.

You don’t get rich by offering people what they want. You get rich by offering people what they had no idea they want. Because of that “A-HA” moment, they are even more eager to buy it.

Like Sisyphus Table.

I want it. Like, really really want it.
