Hunky Dory, Jackinory

There’s nothing more satisfying to us than hearing about the life changing experiences you guys have had because of Fiverr. Quirky video artist and musician Jackinory recently reached an impressive milestone for any seller and wanted to share it with us:

1,000 dollars

Congratulations on making $1000 on Fiverr, Jackinory!

We were so delighted for him that we asked if he’d do us the honour and write a special blog post so we could share his achievement with everyone. He’s a little odd and certainly has his own style, so keep an open mind when reading ;)

Over to you, Jackinory:

“So currently I’m laying in bed, using my laptop, editing videos and I just checked my earnings, $1012! I’ve done it, I’ve done something that I set out to do and the feeling is fantastic.

I’m going to explain why making a $1000 on Fiverr has been one of the most amazing experiences of my life – apart from the time a friend’s cat jumped at me to give me a cuddle.

I started on Fiverr 11 months ago, originally it was a case of SamCornwell telling me about it, then me thinking “No one will buy a video of him ranting like a turnip”, but If I could eat any type of hat, it would be the worlds biggest Sombrero right now. So I thought if he could do it, then I could too! I started off with some very embarrassing Gigs which got many orders! ‘zero’ to be exact, I’d failed on my first attempt.

A few months later thing’s really took off when my Dad bought me a Motor bike, I had to pay him back ASAP, I hate borrowing money from him and the guilt soon took over. It spurred me on to make a better Gig, thus creating a video service featuring yours truly. A short while after that I was featured by the wonderful Fiverr staff and the real love story started there!

I’m not the biggest seller on Fiverr by a long shot, I usually get about 3/4 gigs a day to keep me occupied so I plough through them when the fellow housemates have gone to sleep land, I find it easier to work at night as I feel I’m more creative (and also half asleep).

To finish this off I’d like to mention that in September this year I won a competition set up by Microsoft in which I had to make a video stating why I wanted a makeover for my student house. I won the competition! The Windows team will be decorating my living room in my student house very soon and giving me some fantastic prizes! If it wasn’t for Fiverr, I wouldn’t of had the confidence to record myself at all, and now look at where it’s going for me. Amongst the prizes is a phone with HD recording capabilites and so a Hi-Def Gig is in the making, I can feel it! – I will make a video so clear and crisp you’ll be able to see the sweat on my forehead for $5!”

Thank You Fiverr.com”

Fiverr User Scoops $1000 first prize in Video Contest

$5 for a video? How about $1000 for a video?!

That’s exactly what happened to Fiverr’s very own yellow celebrity when he won a competition set up by Dashers’ Insurance Services who had been buying video Gigs from selected Fiverr sellers for a competition run by their company.

The brief was simple; to advertise Dashers in a fun, catchy and attention grabbing video. Luckily this is what Fiverr user ProfessorPuppet is perfect at. 56 seconds of pure hilarity is all that was needed to scoop the first placed prize of $1000 from Dashers.

Take a look at his winning entry:


In fact, not only did this win him a sack full of cash, the popularity of ProfessorPuppet’s alter ego was so much so that he also took 2nd place too – Another $500 in the bag! WOW.

What’s more is that Prof. Puppet was not the only video supremo to cash in with Dashers. Fiverr users Krazyretarded and Samcornwell also brought home a cool $450 between them coming 3rd and 5th place respectively.
