    If you know anything about making money online, then I'm sure you will have heard about Fiverr. It's a site where anyone can sigh up and post a any gig that they think may be popular. Then people will order that gig if they want you to do whatever it is that you advertised in the gig initially.

    I wanted to ask if anybody is making any money with this site? It seems like all of the gig niches are saturated now. Is it just a matter of looking at the popular gigs and creating that but with a twist?

    Have you seen SEOClerks? They're similar to Fiverr, however your baseline fee can be whatever you choose.

    I have never visited SEOClerks, although I have heard of it before. So I assume that SEOCLERKS just focus on SEO type jobs that people want to pay for. So it is kind of like an outsourcing site?

    I recently set up a gig on Fiverr,and had a few orders, but it took me at least two hours to complete the one order, and for Fiverr to take out $1 for themselves, plus charge me for the Paypal transaction fees, AND THEN for Paypal to take money out of what is left for the conversion exchange rate, then it really is not worth it. I am done with Fiverr. Unless I can come up with something that takes ten minutes to complete, then I am done with them. For my hard work, I only received £2.58 in English money, which is not five dollars.

    Yikes! I don't sell gigs, but I buy them all the time. Maybe you ought to look into those types of services that lend themselves to the $10-$25 add-ons that I've paid for in the past. Those sellers always seem to have a backlist sitting in the que. So they're definately making sales.

    I buy graphic stuff on fiverr all the time. I'll start a new site, and buy 5 different logo gigs, and for the one I like the best, I'll buy the PSD. I really like fiverr for that.

    I wouldn't want to sell anything on fiverr that took too much time to create though.

    I know a ton of people who make money on Fiverr. Most of them outsource all the work. I saw a script awhile back that checked your fiverr and then grabbed all pending work and posted it somewhere else. Basically, they put a gig on fiverr and then pay someone like 1 to 2 dollars to do the job instead of them doing it. Then they get their 4 bux from their fiver gig making 2 bux for every gig without ever doing any work. That seems to be what they consider the blackhat way, but basically it is just good business. I do not know anyone who spends all their time on fiverr doing the work themselves that makes good money. Maybe that helps, or not dunno.. But, seems to be the going method
