How to Use Fiverr for Your Blog

How to use fiverr for your blog


Fiverr is an awesome website where you can get all kinds of projects done for your blog for just $5. I have used this site for many things and it has been a huge time saver. Most recently, I had someone on fiverr create my video introduction. (See the first 10 seconds of this video.)

(Note: if you’re like me, you will want to point out that I am not capitalizing fiverr. That is because they choose to ignore all grammatical rules and don’t capitalize their own name. Drives me crazy when writing about them!)

I thought fiverr was kinda weird for a long time, but once I started looking into it, I became a fan. Once I found out that I could get stuff done for $5 that I normally would pay $20, $30, $50 or more for, I was sold. Of course, as with anything, there are weirdos on there, you just have to weed through them to get to the good “gigs”, as they are called on fiverr.

Need some guidance on how to use fiverr? You’re in the right place!

First, I’ll cover some of the things that you might use fiverr for. After that, I’ll give you some tips for using fiverr and finding good gigs.

How to use fiverr for your blog:
– get a logo created
– have someone make you a button
– get a video introduction made
– have someone make you fancy titles for your sidebar sections
– have someone proofread a post
– have someone draft you a privacy policy or disclosure policy
– have your photos edited or touched up
– get business cards designed
– find gigs on fiverr here


How to find good gigs on fiverr
• Check the ratings. Do not buy from someone with no ratings. I don’t even buy a gig from someone with less than 10 positive ratings. If someone has any negative ratings, think twice.
• Don’t be so concerned with getting a U.S. worker if you’re wanting graphic work done. If it’s writing, try to get someone from your native country.
• Use your judgement. If it sounds too goo to be true, it is. If you’re iffy about someone on there, don’t buy their gig.
• Share gigs with friends! If you get something done that you like, pass that fiverr person on to a blogging buddy who could use it!

So check out fiverr and see what you can get done for a measly five bucks!

    One of the things I love about Fiverr is how easy it is to keep track of orders. The back end allows buyers and sellers the ability to track everything. I have to admit that it’s pretty impressive. I have been testing out the new Fiverr since last week, and I love the new changes and look they got coming out for everyone soon.

    I agree with what you said about not buying from someone who has no rating or reviews. It really is not very risky though since it’s only $5, and once the order is delivered, if the work is not the way it should be, there actually is an option to reject the delivery and give the seller an opportunity to re-deliver the work or cancel the order.

    It is easier to deal with someone who has been selling for awhile who has good ratings since they probably know the system at Fiverr better than the newest people.

    The best advice for people visiting this site is to head over to Fiverr and see what they got. You might be surprised what you might find, and for just $5 I think its worth it.

      Thanks for stopping by Kevin!
      Good to hear they make it easy on sellers. I am going to delve into selling some gigs soon. And yes, while it’s only $5, it is certainly easier to just deal with people who have some positive ratings already.

        I actually have a Google alert setup for the keyword “Fiverr” and your article showed up in the list. I have been selling on Fiverr for about 5 months now. Starting out was a little slow, but once I hit level 1 it took off like a wild fire. Let me know if you need any help setting up shop over there. I’ll be glad to share some tips.

    If somebody is looking for a freelancer job – don’t use fiverr. They took my money and never gave it back to me. I suggest SEOClerks.com , as the best site for freelancers.

      I have never heard of that happening with fiverr, but thanks for the heads up on SEOClerks, it looks like there are tons of graphic designers over there!

    Mr. Zack, Excellent article, I know a few people who prefer freelance blogging to more traditional freelance writing jobs. It’s nice to hear one feedback and tips from someone who’s doing it. If area designed, you can think about promoting vector style on fiveer.com. These style are great in demands nowadays as web designers invariably buy these items online at inexpensive rates. Make sure that to make top great quality, flexible, useful vector style for your website and you will be developing a lot of money from fiverr, all autopilot!
