I have learned more on discipline, patience and never giving up.

There were lots of great things I learned, from getting opportunities to improve my expertise to always staying professional no matter the situation. I also managed to improve my scam-detection meter quite a bit.

Maybe the best lesson for everyone is to not trust random "buyers" that promise the moon and then some. Most of those buyers that say "Give me a discount now and I will give you 20 more orders after" are usually people that never come back and who just want to get your work cheaper. And in general, a great lesson is that.. if it's too good to be true (little work - lots of money), then it's most likely a scam.

Consistency and hard work are essential. Patience is a must, and should never give up. Sometimes the path may seem difficult, but hard work always leads to success on Fiverr.

Do not hire a team if you don't have a good budget. Low-budgeting team members will destroy your Fiverr profile. I always looked for low-budget team members to outsource my work, but it fired back badly. Now, I have a good team and repeat clients 🙂

what I learned from Fiverr is to be patient, in order to achieve what we expect.

I've learned to be cautious and to never put all of your eggs in one basket. Fiverr offers zero protections for the seller and a single misstep can cause years of progress to crumble even if it's entirely not your fault. As a new buyer you'll almost never be chosen over a seasoned seller and almost all of the common freelance fields are already over crowded so niche's are extremely rare to find.

Take logo design for example. This is likely the most crowded section in fiverr and even if you did manage to make it to the first page there's 3 sellers that combined have more orders than all the next few pages put together. There's also a source of ....autocannabilism since there's also an auto logo maker feature on the site. 

It takes a good designer years to be able to stand out just to make way less money than you would anywhere else and then by some miracle you do carve a small niche for yourself Fiverr changes their level system and how you get graded in it and you'll lose all your progress, levels, and perks.
