horizonzero Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Due to fiverr taking the extra dollar and the conversion rate what are your opinions about earnings ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katecarlile Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 It can be extremely frustrating - especially for writers like me - sometimes what i earn works out at below minimum wage. But, you can add gig extras which improve your earnings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzieuk Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Not really an issue for me as I can push a hundred orders a day with multiple etc so I’m always clearing a living wage. The exchange rate however s ucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audile2 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 For our cheapest Gig it works out to 22x less than minimum wage as we’re mainly HQ’d in London… Worth it to build up some reputation though. GBP Shouldn’t get much stronger, if it does the government will intervene to prevent serious harm to exports, still hoping they add Bitcoin withdrawals too.

horizonzero Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share Posted August 6, 2014 Reply to @ozzieuk: Fair play I wouldn’t be complaining making that, I’m only starting off but earning £2 per gig is a boot in the balls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgjohn78 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Its pretty much the same for all sellers in europe, if the goal i to make a living you must only create gigs that you can complete in a matter of minutes like ozzieuk then spend an insane amount of time promoting and scouting for clients.Personally i haven’t came close to minimum wage at best i earn 5% of minimum wage but if i ever hit the higher levels i would add more profitable gigs (until then fiverr will be more of a hobby) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrproofreading Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 The conversion rate is definitely a pain. I’m now at a point where I can live comfortably using my fiverr income, however, it didn’t happen overnight. My advice is to simply walk before you run and treat each order as a gateway to a larger order/a residual income. Don’t over think the fact that it’s only £2.30, as it will DEPRESS you! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
