amitbt has been offering writing and internet marketing services on Fiverr for about 2 years.
A lawyer with a B.A. in Economics and Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.), Amit’s been working in marketing for 10 years. He first discovered Fiverr as a buyer and soon after started offering his services. About 8 months after he started selling Gigs, Amit was able to quit his day job and now makes his living from Fiverr.
“Not too long after starting on Fiverr I actually managed to quit my job. There is no way I could have the financial freedom I enjoy without you guys. To say Fiverr changed my life is a huge understatement!”
How does amitbt maintain a steady income on Fiverr?
We’ll let him tell you. Take it away Amit!!
Promote Your Gigs
I submit professional press releases about my Gigs, write articles, as well as ask buyers to “like” and “collect” my Gigs with every order I deliver. Not only that, but in the delivery message itself I’ll ask the buyer to check out my other Gigs and add the links – that’s actually the best tip I can give.
Another promotional tactic I use on a regular basis is to advertise my services via forums that are related to my Gigs. I’m also not shy about getting the word out on sites such as Linkedin, Facebook, and any other sites that I see fit. Not in a spammy way of course.
100% Satisfaction Guaranteed
I think that the internet can be a scary place. There are a lot of scammers and people who over promise and under deliver. If you make that “fear” disappear, then you’ll probably get more customers. Offering buyers a 100% guarantee is a good way to eliminate the fear that some people have when it comes to buying online.
My philosophy is to make it easier on the buyer. If they don’t like the service/product that I offer, I’ll take their feedback and use it to improve the final product I deliver.
I also offer an unlimited revision policy even after the order is delivered. I ask the buyer to tell me what they liked and what they didn’t like, then I can fix it according to their requirements. I’ll keep working on the order until the customer is 100% happy. If my customer is still not happy after this revision process, I will cancel the order.
However, let me say this…it is rare that I’d actually have to cancel or provide the refund!
If you deliver what you promise in the Gig description – and if you go the extra mile by over delivering, most of the customers will be happy and will come back for more.
Discounts: Buy 4 Get the 5th for Free!
Offering discounts is a great way to increase the number of Gigs that people order. If someone needs a lot of content then my Gig will save them lots of money in the long run.
Also, I think it’s a way of saying “thanks” to the buyers that put their trust in me as a seller and buy in bulk.
Without a doubt, it helps me get more sales!
Quite simply, it’s not only a great way to attract more customers, but it also helps to sell more Gigs per customer.
Also, I think that if the customer is not using the special offer, they might feel like they missed out on an opportunity to save some money – which encourages them to buy more.
Like I said, it’s a very valuable way for me to get new customers and turn them into repeat customers. The best part is, at the end of the day, everybody wins!
Do What You Love!
The most important thing is to sell Gigs related to something that you really enjoy doing.
I think you have to be passionate about what you are offering, otherwise you won’t stick with it very long. If you are doing work that you don’t enjoy, you will quickly get burned out and eventually drop it.
Writing is what I love and I think this is the main reason for my success on Fiverr. In the beginning I only got 1 to 2 orders a week, but I was determined! I always looked in the “Request Gigs” section for more work – I don’t think I missed even one request from that section for a few months and would contact as many people as possible. I also spent time promoting my Gigs to get more exposure. Thanks to these efforts I started to get more customers and eventually lots of returning customers.
Thank you amitbt for these awesome tips! Congratulations!










Great Story Amit! I was looking for some inspiration an you are here to give some. Its good to hear that even after having such a wonderful career path you choose the way to live a free life. Fiverr has given us all many things and you are a living example! Great success ahead to you and all of us. Happy Gigging :)
Thank you Anubhab.
Fiverr is a great place to get the financial freedom we all want!
A very great story! Got a couple of tips to further improve my gigs as well! :)
We’re almost alike…I am really enjoying the things I am offering here on fiverr and that is why I am still here giving quality services to my buyers…
Thanks for the important chunks of information…
It’s a pleasure :)
Absolutely! Having some fire in your work is not negotiable in my opinion.
Hi amitbt
Great story and excellent tips. When I first joined Fiverr I was only looking to make a few bucks pocket money. Then, like you I soon discovered that my pocket money was becoming quite substantial. However, I didn’t know that a full time income could be earned. How naive of me. So thank you for your guidance. After I became a Level 2 seller I provided special offers of my gigs. Buy 1 plus a $5 extra get 3. Buy 1 plus $20 extra get 15 plus a mystery bonus gig. When I did this my income rocketed. So my experience has been the same as yours – providing value is a great upsell.
It is now time to build large and become a super seller like you.
Mindskills
Thanks for sharing. It’s very usefull for new persons like me. Hopefully, many people will buy my giggs
Way to GO!!! Congratulations on your success!! I love your “delivery tips” Ive never once asked for a review, a fb like, Ive never told them to check out my other gigs or ANYTHING! I do pretty well, wonder how much better this will get once I implement this great advice. :)

Thank you for all the good advice.

I pray the best for your business in the coming year!!!
Sincerely,
William
Wow! Thank you so much! You rule!
Congrats!!
Good Job sire,
Please How Can I Promote My Gigs
Have more than one gig on offer, write press releases, ask your clients to collect and like your gigs. Use social media to the max and MOST IMPORTANT…do great work! :)
Well done Amitbt
After reading this, I can see why you achieved Super Seller status!
I especially liked the bit “offering buyers a 100% guarantee” To me this shows me that you believe in your gigs 100% and delivering what you promise in the gig description, goes a long way with reducing refunds
Thanks!
You should always aim to provide the highest of quality in your service. Never be tempted to cut corners, as this will never work out in the long run.
I like to imagine that all of my orders are from family members or close friends. When I’m in this state of mind, I will always do everything in my power to make sure that my service is of the highest quality.
Working in this way provides the best customer service experience possible to all of my buyers. If I consistently give it 110% and always meet the deadlines…then the customer is going to completely satisfied!
By providing a quality product or service and delivering exceptional customer service, you are encouraging people to do business with you again and again. Repeat customers are the lifeblood of any business, it’s much easier to sell something to a happy, existing customer than it is to constantly find new customers. Also, the customer that initially spends $5 now may come back and spend $20, $50, or even $100 later on.
At the end of the day, it’s all about providing value. With every Gig that you put out there, you should always be asking yourself the question “am I providing value?” If the answer is yes, then you’re on the right track.
Lastly, just make sure you always overdeliver. Customers will love you for it and the feedback for your service will be awesome.
If you have further questions, I will be happy to answer them.
Yes it does indeed :)
Awesome pal! Congrats Fiverr Rules!!!
Yok

Amazing Stories dispell all the doubts that one can actually live a financially free life on Fiverr.Congratulations Sir
Than You Stanley! It is possible if you are motivated and determined.
Cool stuff! Fiverr has also been one of the many websites that helped me to leave my full time job. I have been living on internet-based jobs for over a year now. Staying home with my wife and chilling in my pajamas when it snows. It’s a good life and I’m making almost what I made at my energy-draining frustrating full time job in the financial industry.
Yea…. I know what you’re talking about…
Anyway, I am glad you can do it too! :) can you share some tips with us?
Well done, Amit. Congratulations, and here’s wishing you grow to greater heights in Content Writing online.
Cheers :)
Thank you Champ!!!
Many congratulations!
Thanks Alphabyte

So profitable! :)
So proud and so happy to see when a fiverr member makes it to top status and yes you can be come financially free with fiverr and not even make it to top-level status. I am personally at Level 2 (still striving for top status) and I make GREAT income with fiverr! I admit when I first started with Fiverr I didn’t take it really seriously at all. The first 6 or 7 months I just willy nilly my way..but after a few $5 gigs here and then $5 here there.. I saw the potential and now in less then a year and half I have made almost $6000 and it’s getting better every day! Not only the income has been awesome but with my gigs I have actually helped other Fiverr members promote their goods and services! I always tell people Fiverr is a win/win/win for everybody! Congrats Amit! Keep on doing what cha doing!!

Wow, your story charges me and keep my spirit high. Thank you for the tips too !
My Pleasure! I will post more tips here in the comments section later…
You are an inspiration to so many people. Indeed, fiver is changing the phase of online outsourcing business. Thank you for letting me in on your secret.
More secrets will be revealed in the future! (right here in the comments section)
As a frequent buyer on Fiverr it’s great when a seller delivers on what they promised in the gig description. Also if they are going to be late in delivering, then contacting the buyer prior to the deadline & letting them know about the late delivery.
It’s annoying when you see on a gig page that it will take 5 days to complete, then after you order the gig it’ll be pushed up to 10 days for delivery. I know I feel scammed when a seller does that & generally won’t bother buying that persons gigs again.
You are totally right. It’s not the way to treat customers. Sellers should always keep the buyer updated! That’s a basic thing…
Nice Tips
Thank you Alex!
I think Fiverr is an amazing .I love this place.Congratulations on your success .Fiverr is awesome

Congratulations! Yes, we all need financial freedom as opposed to financial servitude. Life is short. We need to enjoy it – not simply become part of the RAT RACE.
Do you have some favorite places where you post press releases? I like Examiner.com. You want to know why? Because you get more than just text and a picture. You can also include a slide show and a video. In fact, I created a Fiverr gig for press releases using Examiner.com for Ft. Lauderdale, San Francisco and the National Small Business Examiner. For details, check out http://fiverr.com/lamarjmorgan.
I like PRbuzz and SBwire. I also provide PR writing and submission services… You should check it out :)

I’ve heard of people quitting their waiting jobs for fiverr, but this is the first white-collar job I’ve heard of someone quitting for it.
Well, I think Fiverr seller is a even better than a White Collar Job! :) hehe…
Proof that if you work hard on the web you too can make it.
I started only 10 days ago on Fiverr selling my article writing buisness and already it is making me $100 a week!
It is a great way to make money and Amitbt is absolutely right in his approach. The more effort you put in, the more you can make.
Great article
You are totally right! :) Just give 110% and you will be the next Fiverr Super Seller! :)

Amitbt, thank You for your inspiring article and it really help me to do a better job in my gigs in the future. I wish I can be just as success as you are in fiverr.com someday in the future. Although it may take some hard work before anything will happen, your story is truly an encouragement for all of us in this gig business. It would be nice if you can give me some advice for improvement about my gig even I have already made a few orders with it.(30 is the update number, not 100 since 100 is too time consuming .)

Keep up the good work!
