How important is Fiverr to you?

[lloydsolutions]

As many people worldwide have the opportunity to make a living by being on Fiverr was just wondering how important is Fiverr to you and could you make a living without being on Fiverr?

Right now, fiverr provides my only income. 😃

[writer99025]

Fiverr is my only source of an active income. I have passive income sources which are far bigger than what I make on Fiverr and hence more important to me. I have had them much before joining Fiverr. Fiverr keeps me busy and gives me a purpose in life. Also, I use the income from Fiverr to further build my passive income sources. (which is interest income from savings/investments/dividend stocks most of which I inherited).

I can’t believe that you’re not married. I want to marry you. You are a literal wife magnet. Have you never thought about doing something philanthropic, setting up your own business or putting Fiverr aside for a wee and writing a best-selling book?

Guys with no jobs don’t get chicks in India 🙂 India is a very job conscious society. Stay-at-home freelancers get no respect.

[misscrystal]

I imagine you with a nice wife leading a happy domestic life someday.

You do have a job. Surely the whole country cannot be this way? India has such a huge population. There must be some who are more enlightened. India must have other self employed writers. Perhaps you could look in another country.

I am not really an ambitious guy, and have no major dreams or expectations. I just want to spend my time productively, that’s all. As long as I keep getting constant work on Fiverr I won’t look elsewhere. Also, I won’t do anything - such as starting a business - that would require me to remove any part of my savings. I do donate to charity, but not much. Thing is, nobody really helped me in any way in my life (except my parents), so I don’t really trust anyone. I don’t expect anyone to help me if I get into trouble, (in fact my relatives would be gleeful if that happens) so I don’t see the point in helping anyone either. That is also one reason I won’t marry - I cannot trust a woman enough to marry her. I just don’t trust anyone.

See the comment above 🙂 No, I don’t think I will get the comfortable lifestyle I have in India anywhere else. I don’t have to work for a living here, and work for pleasure. I don’t think that’s possible anywhere else in the world.

lol 😃 at what @cyaxrex said.

[writer99025]

In fact, when I say “nobody has ever helped me”…I mean people in real life or offline life. There have been a lot of people online, my clients, who have been very kind to me. I am deeply grateful to them.

70% income comes from Fiverr.com to me. This is great place to earn from Home…

Get a room you two!

Well writer99025, I think what you need is a bit of an adventure and immersion in a few things outside your comfort zone. In fact, I’m highly tempted to figure out a way to kidnap you and take you on an epic, alcohol-fueled mating rampage somewhere where we can easily buy ourselves out of trouble should things get too crazy.

Sadly I’m already banned from Thailand which would be the obvious place to conduct such a rampage. However, I do hear that there is still something of a hedonistic party scene in Goa? Of course, I’m guessing that you would hate every moment, hence why I would have to kidnap you…And why we’d need to have things like sangria for breakfast.

Life is sweet with the right companion. I hope you find yours someday.

[esthernyambura]

Ha! You won’t marry?
You are a very hardworking person.
Lets be true… We will all die one day…

1. who will inherit all the things that you have worked hard for?
2. Who will take care of you in your 90’s
   Your relatives?

[writer99025]

You think kids take care of their parents? Not at all. I will continue to write articles or do something online in my 90s till I collapse on the keyboard. And who will inherit my money? The government 🙂

[zeus777]

Let’s see…well, I check out new gigs almost everyday, roam around the forum almost everyday, so I believe Fiverr is a daily part of my life, but when it comes to income, I’d say it’s about 20% or so, maybe a bit more depending on the month. Fiverr is not my main source of income, but it has paid my rent, my traveling fee etc, so yeah, it’s pretty darn important! 😃

[emmaki]

This sounds like my sort of holiday. Not that I would necessarily remember it!

[perfectworker]

The real importance of Fiverr can only be felt when the orders have stopped coming in as they used to. Why? Because it is then that you realize how much you have come to rely on the funds coming in through your gigs on Fiverr.

[capitalquality]

Can we all come?

[emmaki]

I can see it already. The world’s most chaotic Fiverr pissup in India. No sells will be mek, except for the lucky bar owners and owners of local tat (“souvenir”) shops.

[capitalquality]

Sounds good. I’ll start packing.

[capitalquality]

I stopped full-time contracting with a 2-hour each way commute to look after my few alpacas and a little bit of land so Fiverr is very important. My partner still works so Fiverr makes up the total to something that lets us be comfortable. I couldn’t survive on Fiverr but I do turn down a lot of complex gigs to give me time to do the other things I have to do, so maybe I could if I worked more hours.
More importantly for me, I keep my brain active, my skills up, and I interact with a community of like-minded professionals.
