If you don’t recognise this happy chappy, then where have you been in the last few months on Fiverr? User Baldy first showed up in the videos section offering an hilarious sky diving promotion video. Within days it gained traction and within a few weeks he was offering several other alter-egos’ video services, including a granny in a supermarket on a scooter and a buck-toothed hillbilly in a caravan. [I kid you not.]
Baldy’s story is an interesting one. I dropped him a line when he first appeared on Fiverr to introduce myself and he was as charming back then as he has always been. Whilst between jobs, he decided to use his hiatus productively and set up a Gig to start earning a bucketful of cash. ‘…Not only does it bring in a much needed income to feed my wife and five children, it keeps this old grey brain active too…’.
What made Baldy’s videos stand out from the rest was his clever use of green screen technology. Offering something unique to his buyers gave him an advantage and pushed sales through the roof. I’ve seen many positive trends happening to Gigs on Fiverr however, what Baldy managed to achieve changed the playing field in terms of quality. He showed the world how to get noticed on Fiverr and become an instant success by providing exceptionally high quality video content.
I’ve recently heard from the sky diving maniac, who got in touch to tell me he’d landed a full time job as a plant manager [Not entirely sure what this is, but I'm imagining Homer Simpson in Mister Burns's nuclear power plant]. I’m delighted for him and feel exceptionally lucky to have met such an inspirational seller on Fiverr, who I believed raised the bar for creative Gigs everywhere.
Before Baldy started his new adventure, I asked him if he could make a video tutorial revealing his behind the scenes secrets on how he actually did it all. I even purchased a Gig for the privilege, although watching it back I think I owe him a few more Fiverrs for the work that went into it:
Thank you Baldy, you’ve been an inspiration and we hope to see you back on Fiverr again some time soon, moistening up that brain of yours.
fiverr takes a lot of creativity. and anyone who can think deeper will be a fiverr king. i am now in my thinking corner with an idea to break into fame.
I’ve never used baldy’s services, but that’s no because I haven’t wanted to. Even now, as I read this post I was reminded how much I ‘want’ to use one of his awesome gigs. I simply don’t have anything I could use them for! Yet! I’ll figure out a use….. Anyhow. The point of my post is this. This man’s videos are freakin’ awesome! I’ve watched every one he has as a ‘demo video’ on Fiverr and got a chuckle every time. It’s not hard to understand why Baldy has become a Fiverr superstar! And at some point I’ll figure out a way to use his awesome services. You just wait and see!
I’m amazed by all the talented sellers on fiverr and Baldy is definitely one of the best! Thanks for the tutorial, I’ve bookmarked it for future reference. :)
Great idea! I should’ve though of that for MY gig! – Jennifer

Aww loved all his gigs, sad to see him go but glad he’s got a permanent job.
Maybe he’ll drop in now and again :D
BALDY WAS GREAT! I caught his gigs before he exploded on fiverr, ordering the skydiving video to wish a friend happy birthday. Best wishes back at the factory… you’ll be missed here!
Baldy is great! I loved his gigs! He was so willing to help others understand what brought him success. Very giving individual. Really love his work, his business ethics and his awesomely positive attitude!!
He is great. I loved watching his gigs.
thank You Baldy You will be missed. this guy went as far as helping me come up with video gig ideas and ways to sell more. he took time to have a phone conversation with me seller to seller.
What a great guy! Lots of people would choose to keep all of that information to themselves, but the reasons he gives for sharing the knowledge makes perfect sense. THANK YOU – and come back to fiverr soon!

Cheers, DD:)
Brilliant stuff…. got to get some of that goign for our QR CODES
Creativity is definately the key here on Fiverr. I think a good 2nd place would be over-delivery & value for money…
It is both hillarious and well thought at the same time. It’s more then the money’s worth in my opinion. :)
Thanks to Baldy for sharing us the tricks ‘o the trade! Sorry I wasn’t aware of his gigs before he bagged on us! But good luck in your new job, man!
That’s crazy video there.
