After a long break, I’m excited to reconnect and share my journey of achieving my first $1000 on Fiverr. It wasn’t always smooth sailing, but the experience taught me a lot. Whether you’re just starting out or looking for new ideas, I hope my tips and lessons will inspire you! 

I joined Fiverr in 2017, offering website development services. Initially, I struggled to get noticed. It felt like I was shouting into the void. But after tweaking my approach and being consistent, I landed my first order, which eventually led to more.
