High Fiverr to our own New York City Giants

Step right up, step right up, read all about it!

If you were in New York the last couple of days, there was only one story worth reading about. No, we’re not talking about the Giants winning the Superbowl, although it was awesome, it was nothing but a mere side note. What we’re excited about is seeing our very own users in print in the New York Post!

We picked up a copy bright and early in the Big Apple on Monday morning:

Congratulations to all the Fiverrs mentioned. If you’d like to read an online version, you can check it out here on the NY Post’s website.

The five successful Fiverrs that got to see their name in print:
JerseyFerretti,

Well done guys & happy Gigging.

The 29th February Marriage Proposal Gig

Ladies, your chance is looming. There’s less than a month (and it’s a shorter month than normal) until a 1 in 1461 day opportunity to ask your fella to marry you. What am I talking about? It’s a leap year of course and this February has an extra day bolted on to the end of it, just to confuse us all.

The tradition goes a little something like this. Guys are normally the ones expecting to be getting down on one knee, but on a leap day it is expected that the fairer sex have the honor. So what has this got to do with Fiverr and you? Well one of our illustrious sellers has come up with a cute little Gig, offering a valuable service for the day…

So girls, if your man doesn’t pop the question this Valentine’s Day, then you’ll get your own chance on the 29th February. And if you need a little bit of help doing the asking, you can Fiverr it:

He came, he sky dived, he raised the bar.

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.

The Fiverr Community can do that for you!

How does one show spirit within the community? User Forgetaboutit has the right idea on their radio commercial Gig, by encouraging the use of other services available on Fiverr.

A quick read of their Gig description reveals a bonus extra if you use a Fiverr voice over artist to create the commercial that will be played:

“We will DOUBLE your FIRST order if you use a Fiverr voice over professional to record your spot.” – Nice.

We think that this shows great community enterprise and can’t wait to see other examples of the same. Have you ever bought several Fiverr Gigs in the aim of one goal? Perhaps created a video using several Gigs or helped start your business with the aid of Fiverr sellers. We’d love to hear from you!

Introducing: Fiverr Levels – The ability to Upscale Your Gig Business and Make Even More Money!

We’re kicking off 2012 with a major new feature on Fiverr that is going to be a game-changer for many of you!

The code-ninjas at Fiverr HQ have been working relentlessly, preparing an arsenal of tools to enable even more sellers with the ability to make more money. There are so many hard working entrepreneurs out there striving to deliver top quality Gigs and be Fiverr’s very best, that we can now recognise for their hard work and dedication with our biggest upgrade to Gig selling since… EVER?!

Fiverr heavyweight Professor Puppet stepped up to the role of presenting a short introduction. He’s a great example of a user that has built up a successful Fiverr business from scratch, utilising the tools available to offer high quality Gig content to thousands of happy buyers.

Ladies and gentleman, we bring to you: Fiverr Levels! [Take it away, Professor.]

Excited much? Knew it! Let’s talk details.

Resources previously available to just a handful of selected Top Sellers are now being opened up to the entire Gigging community via Fiverr Levels. There are three different Fiverr Levels as Professor Puppet explained. These are named Level 1, Level 2 and Top Rated Seller.

As you become eligible for these different Levels you will unlock an array of money making tools to use at your disposal. As you continue to grow as a seller on Fiverr, you’ll unlock more features that’ll help you make even more money!

We’ve broken them down for you here:

Yes we know, you’re salivating at the prospect of adding Extras to your Gigs and being able to accept multiple purchases. As long as you’re active on Fiverr and making sales, whilst meeting the above criteria then you can expect to receive an email very soon notifying you on your updated Level 1, 2 or Top Rated Seller status.

You’ll also notice that we’ve given the user interface a facelift in some key areas, improving the overall look of your Gigs and user pages. We won’t show you here, but hope you like the changes!

We can’t wait to hear your thoughts (in the comments below) and are looking forward to seeing you make use of all the new tools at your disposal and turning your Fiverr store into a real income that you can rely on!

Happy Gigging guys!

The Fiverr Team.

Santa Auditions – Blooper Reel

Hola Fiverr Community, how’s it going? We trust you are all feeling festively plump after a splendid holiday break. What’s everyone been up to?

Now Christmas is over and we’re all nibbling on the leftovers, we thought it’d be a great opportunity to show you another type of leftover – Santa Auditions, created by the fantastic Gnu Films.

Check out this brilliant little video:

With a little bit of help from some great Fiverr sellers, Gnu Films created what we think is an awesome compilation. Our community is nothing short of amazing and up at Fiverr HQ we were overwhelmed when we first saw it. It’s a great example of what you can do when you really put your mind to it!

Thanks Gnu Films – you’re awesome!

Also, here’s a big shout out to the Fiverrs who featured in Santa Audition Tape Bloopers:

oldbittygrandma – Santa doesn’t smoke!
gilligan48 – Lactose intolerant Santa.
robertocarlos – Dude, your hand hasn’t even got a hat!
pinkkoala – Unconvincing. You don’t even have a beard…
doblecombo – Is Santa Italian now?
krazyretarded – He likes his milk!

We hope you’re all set for a great New Year’s Eve party and look forward to many more fantastic community efforts in 2012!
