A while ago a coworker of mine asked me about Fiverr, he wanted to know how it works, how much I make, etc etc.
 Since my coworker can speak/read/write three languages fluently, he seemed to be interested in creating an account. I told him he can do a translation gig for sure.
 He did create an account, but then his first daughter was born and he got busy so he still hasn't created a gig. He IS skilled and qualified though, so I'm sure once he creates his gig he will do quite well.
 Just today another friend of mine asked me about Fiverr, he seemed to be interested, he did point out though that he wasn't sure what we can offer as a service.
 He's a computer guy and can speak 2 languages, I'm sure he can be pretty successful too.
 He wanted to know more about Fiverr, so while we were sipping coffee and munching on scones, I told him everything, and I mean EVERYTHING I know about Fiverr.
 Both the good and the ugly.

 By the time I was finished, it looked like he was having second thoughts. I guess he found out that while Fiverr can be great, it IS a job after all, and you will be facing stressful situations quite often. He actually said "Eww...." when I told him about the silly "Hi give me job" spam messages I get.

 Any of you guys have friends who started Fiverr recently after seeing your success? Did they end up being successful too? 

So a friend asked me...
