I worked on fiverr for more than 1 year and believe me, it's not worth it
You can earn some money, that is true, but many times it's not worth the hours invested
This depends where you are coming from, it's profitable for people living in very poor countries where 10-15$ dollars is called a payday
But as tempting as it seems to pay 5-10$ for services, don't bring your hopes up, because Fiverr is full of so called ''professionals'', when in reality most of them are indians with little to no skills at all

So keep in mind when ordering on fiverr that at the end of the day you receive what you paid for, which might be low quality or stolen work
I'm working on multiple platforms as a freelancer and can tell you that working on fiverr was the worst experience so far

So you can get a more in depth perspective of my personal experience
As a seller: On this platform everybody is expecting high end professional services for 5$ or even for free
This comes from an animator/illustrator who had more than 150 orders in a period of a year or so

As a buyer: Most of the sellers are scammers, stealing work and re-selling the same product over and over again

Customer service is pretty useless as well
Fiverr is aware of all the bull$#*! that is happening on their platform, but they don't give a damn as long as they are making money
Their promotion attracts mostly cheap $#*! customers that believe that anything above 5$ is too expensive and outrageous, putting pressure on sellers to lower their prices while providing good services
People will try to take advantage of you and even get work for free, or in case you are a buyer, they will try to get away with your money

I had good and bad clients, mostly bad

I stopped working on this platform because by doing so, i was promoting a company of thieves and scammers
Also remember that fiverr is taking 20% from your total earnings

If you are a potential buyer assume the following:
1. The seller's photo is not a photo of the seller.
2. The sex of the seller may not be as represented.
3. A claim for fluency in a language e.g. English is incorrect.
4. An expertise claimed is absent.
5. A country in which the seller lives e.g. USA is fake.
If after having considered the above you are still interested then:
1. Pay only by Paypal.
2. Get ready on the delivery date to access the Resolution Centre and ask for a refund.
3. If Fiverr offers you a credit write to Fiverr support and demand a full refund of all moneys including processing fee to be refunded to your Paypal Account.
4. If that doesn't happen take it up with Paypal.
5. If there is still a problem consider reporting Fiverr to USA regulatory authorities.

I was shocked to find so many negative reviews about fiverr on this website! I've used many freelance sites, and fiverr is by far the best so far! Of course if your services are poor as a seller, your experience HAS to be poor, if you're poor in communication, interpersonal skills, and SPOTTING the right seller, well, as a buyer you will have poor experience. First 6 weeks on fiver and I'm making over $1000 with extremely happy clients, just unbelievable. I believe if those who are great or satisfied with fiverr were to be compared or to comment here, 5 stars would surpass - if fiverr wasn't great, it wouldn't be growing, as it is, evidently. Buyers & Sellers, Fiverr is the best.

This is a promise-selling business. There is no proof that the sellers here actually do anything else. They don't have real names nor substantiated credentials. Some of them are represented via stock photo images. (See suretips1. Very attractive female on the picture. In fact, the actual agent is a male with a non-professional photo and insubstantial training in marketing on his LinkedIn account.) (He is likely using several avatars to promote his (non-existent) expertise.) You never get to know whether they have provided the services as promised. And what a great idea: The review of their work must be provided at the moment they say your order is completed. This basically means that the seller created the ad. The ad has not been distributed, nor do you know how it performed. Of course you are so excited about being helped quickly that you give the sellers the best reviews. But after that, nothing happens. You see no results. Now you are out of your money, and the Fiverr sellers are protected because they say they performed what they promised. They can't lose on this business model. Only you, the buyers are not protected and tricked into the deal by way of believing the non-realistic and prematurely collected reviews.

It was a great site when it really was just $5 - but now sellers are allowed to sell in 3 tiers, include silly extortionate fees such as commercial fee and broadcast fee and etc... it's now just as cheap, and better, to go through a professional agency or some other method than use the rip-off that is now Fiverr. Nice business model to start with, no longer unique or cost effective. Business model gone bad.

I am the seller of fiverr, all fiverr cares is how much commission they will make from each transaction and how to keep sucking money from buyers, they don't care about the quality, the service and they treat sellers like slaves with no customer support to sellers at all. There are many great and nice buyers. But some buyers are abusing the system but Fiverr does not care as long as they get the commission. Fiverr does not show any support on sellers and will delete their accounts anytime and freeze their income with no reason. Fiverr also choose emails to reply. They do not reply any emails that challenge their systems.

$5? OK with initial simple order being about $40... if... the work was done well. Seller claims proficiency with English - not true - communication frustrating. Cannot actually talk to the seller - communication frustrating. Project deemed "complete" in 3 days whether or not you are able to find their communication. Asked for revision - came back with most of the revision requests still ignored (there was clarity in the original request). No support phone number. No support chat opportunity. Requesting they contact me to help get this resolved for all concerned... guesses as to whether a buyer will be contacted?

Traffic is an essential need for every website. I was really upset and discouraged when I was spending so much on marketing my website but lacked a good writer. I found an agent on fiverr.com (see here: https://www.fiverr.com/alexias44) who provides me with excellent content for my website. Now I blog with passion and joy because I know I have quality content for my audience. I have been using her writing services for sometimes now and she is the best so far.
