Creating a Second Gig: Is Diversifying Worth It?

[avantbratch]

Hey fellow Fiverr community members! I'm considering branching out and creating a second gig that is completely different from my current one.

My current gig: https://www.fiverr.com/avantbratch/persuasive-social-media-copy-that-compels-action

The second gig will involve writing essays and articles focused on art and art history.

I wanted to gather your insights and experiences on this topic. Have any of you pursued a second gig in a different field? If so, what were the pros and cons you encountered? Did it prove to be a good idea in the long run? I'd love to hear your thoughts and advice on whether diversifying your gig offerings is a wise move. Share your experiences and let's discuss!

Essays are not exclusively limited to homework assignments. They can be written for online magazines, blogs, etc.

Those are articles 🙂The thing is, essays tend to be connected with academic content, so you'll get yourself in trouble if you mess around that area. And if you say that a lot of people offer that, they just weren't caught yet. 🙂

Thanks for the feedback.

Do you have any suggestions for my initial question, about creating a second gig even though I haven't received orders on my first one?

Depending on your level, you have a gig limit. I think for newcomers it's up to 7 gigs. So you can easily go and start 7 different gigs, no one is stopping you.

The thing is, offer stuff where you can deliver excellent work. If you have 7, yet low quality gigs, people will just ignore and buy other stuff.
