I started Fiverr in 2018, When did you?

[rabia_sabir]

I started FIverr in 2018, so it's almost 4 years now. I would describe Fiverr in one word than other platforms is "Autopilot". What would you say to it?

I started in 2016, and love the fact that within the TOS guidelines, you can run your business pretty much how you like, plus instead of being stagnant, they have some new enhancement every month or so. Some great, some not so much, but at least they are constantly trying new things. BTW, enjoying your posts.

Thank you so much Mike, I'm enjoying your inputs. Hope we can collaborate anytime in future.

You are right Sir, I joined Fiverr in 2019 but started work regularly from last year 2021. But Now I've completed my TRS Requirements. I really Love to work with this platform.

I wouldn't say autopilot, I find that you need to be constantly tweaking, polishing and improving your gigs to keep performance up. If I had to pick a word, it would be "storefront", that's the distinguishing characteristic for me vs other freelance platforms. And just like with a brick and mortar storefront, if you leave a static display up for years with no changes, your results won't be that great in the long run!

What a great point to counteract the "Fear of editing my gig" fallacy.  You gotta keep freshening.

I am going to start art commissions on Fiverr next month, I am so excited!! I agree with @visualstudios about the description of Fiverr. It does feel like people setting up a shop! I love the regular posters here on the forum, they are all so kind, friendly and helpful for people who genuinely need help! 

I am most excited on doing stuff for the graphics for streamers section!! Even though it sounds like a lot of work, but I really feel like its going to be super super fun!! 😄 

[asifhassanantue]

I started in May 2017. Since then, I have completed 3800+ orders with 2300+ 5* review. I am very grateful to this platform for my financial solvency. Thanks 

[abdelrahmankhal]

started 2020, I hope to reach the "autopilot" zone soon 😂😂

I started in 2013.

As for the “autopilot” statement, I have to say that it’s true, until you need to do your first crash landing.

In a swamp. 

Full of alligators.

That hold AR-15s.

2016 here. Grew so much both artistically and professionally in these years it's insane to think about it. Quite a ride!

[miiila]

2016, too. In one word...? Hm, in my native language, it would be one word, in English... I hope kind of one word is okay, too... time-efficient. 

The Fiverr forum, however, is anything but. 😅

As for autopilot, yeah, no. But it is time-efficient, and, specifically, it saves me from a lot of the things I hate most, like paperwork, writing applications/proposals/pitches/whatever other platforms may call it, sending CVs, chasing customers. 💚 Fiverr.  The % of time I can spend on actual work, which I don't mind or often even love, is very high, and the % of trappings is low. 

Time-wise, if there was no spam, it would be pretty much as perfect as it can get.

I joined fiverr in 2019 after quite my job.

[ajomss]

Well I joined less than 3 weeks now. Let the comments begin to flow, this will help. 

[dostmuhammad336]

I started it in 2021 as a part-time income and so far has been a great source to manage my expenses.

Hahah you got it. But I said this comparatively. Even if you start upwork or any other, you’ll still have to perform an A job to be at some point

You’re always welcome. Let’s have a discussion sometime in future, when it’s raining 😄

[sabinespoems]

I've started in January 2021, so I'm (sort of) almost able to celebrate my two-year Fiverr journey! It's not an acknowledged time milestone but it is a reminder of how time flies 😵

[brownzay]

2022 last two months 

[melanielm]

I started around 1998, largely offline. It wasn't my full-time income until a few years after that. (Feeling old!)
