How do I start Fiverr in Nigeria?

As a freelance marketer, it's easy to think that there are no ways of making extra income other than selling your own products (or affiliate marketing) or creating something from scratch yourself. But the truth is that there are lots of ways out there if only we take advantage of them. In fact, one such way was introduced by someone called Daniel Steinmetz back in 2012. He created what he calls "The 5 Dollar Economy" which basically teaches people how to sell things via internet for as low as $5 per transaction. The idea behind this system is simple but revolutionary at the same time because not many marketers have been able to create effective systems based solely on $5 transactions.

Fiverr has essentially taken the concept further with its unique model which allows users to buy and sell anything they want under $5 increments. If you're wondering how exactly does this work, read on!

You don't need any special software like PayPal to use Fiverr. All payments made through the site will be processed using the Paypal gateway. You just need to visit the website and follow the steps provided to complete the process. Once done, you'll receive notification emails regarding the status of your order.

What payment methods does Fiverr accept?

Currently, all major credit cards including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, JCB, Diners Club International, and Discover Card are accepted. Other forms of payments include cash on delivery, bank transfer, check, etc. However, note that some merchants may require additional verification while others might charge higher fees depending on the type of card used.

If you've bought something from another user, you'd normally expect to send a tip over email to compensate the seller for his/her service. This is also true when buying items directly from Fiverr itself. Just select Tip during checkout and enter your details. Alternatively, you could opt for tipping through Facebook Messenger instead. Either way works fine since both platforms allow you to track your tips easily without having to worry about sending physical cash.

But wait...there's more! For those who feel uncomfortable giving digital tips, you could simply go ahead and purchase some credits. These credits come in handy when you wish to give gifts to another member of the community. Credits can either be purchased individually or bundled together into packs.

There are two types of bundles available - gold and platinum. Gold packages consist of 10 credits worth $50 whereas platinum ones cost 20 credits and equal to $100. What makes these bundles interesting is that they contain more credits compared to regular packs. So if you plan to gift 100 credits in total, then choose platinum bundle.

Lastly, if you're looking to support your favorite members, you could subscribe to their premium accounts. Premium subscriptions come in three tiers and costs vary according to the tier chosen. Tier 1 offers unlimited monthly subscription to selected sellers at $29, Tier 2 charges $39 per month for unlimited access to all sellers while Tier 3 costs $49 per month for unlimited access to all sellers regardless of category.

Note that you won't be charged until your first invoice appears. And once you begin receiving invoices, you'll see recurring bills every month unless canceled. Cancellation isn't possible so far but you can always unsubscribe later on should you decide to stop paying.

So now that we know everything about how to pay for services on Fiverr, let's address the next question on everyone's mind - Do I pay before or after Fiverr takes a commission off my earnings?

Do you pay before or after Fiverr?

While most people tend to believe that you must pay upfront before getting a product delivered, this is not necessarily so. Some sellers on Fiverr actually prefer to get paid post-sale so that they can enjoy the benefits of lower shipping fee and faster processing times. It's up to you whether you want to incur the extra expense or risk waiting longer for your package to arrive. Also, bear in mind that buyers aren't required to pay within 24 hours. They can delay payment till anytime they want although it usually lasts 7 days from date of sale.

Now that we got our answer, let's move onto the final part of this article - How much money does Fiverr earn from sales?

According to various reports, Fiverr earned roughly $2 million dollars in 2014 alone. While the exact figure is unknown, Fiverr claims that it receives hundreds of inquiries daily and processes thousands of orders everyday.

Also, keep in mind that Fiverr doesn't run ads or promotions alongside its listings. Therefore, most of the revenue generated comes from commissions received upon successful completion of deals.

To sum up, here's how Fiverr works:

Sellers list their best quality items on Fiverr.

Buyers browse through lists submitted by sellers and find suitable options.

Once found, buyer sends a message to seller asking him to quote his price.

After confirmation, buyer writes down amount due and pays immediately using preferred method of payment.

Upon receipt of funds, seller ships item(s).

Both parties share 50% of profit while remaining 50% goes towards running Fiverr business.

That sums it up pretty well. Now that you know how Fiverr operates, why not consider taking part in this growing marketplace? Signing up is free and gives you full access to features and functionality offered by the site. Furthermore, Fiverr encourages new entrepreneurs to join by providing training materials and resources suited specifically for beginners.

For those interested, below is a quick guide on how to set up your profile and upload images to attract potential customers.

1. Create Your Profile

Signing up is completely free and requires minimum effort. Simply click on Start Selling button located right above search bar. Then fill in basic info like name, location, gender, birthday, occupation, language, among others. After filling your personal information, you'll be asked to verify your account. To proceed, click Send Code Link. A code will appear in your inbox. Open the link and copy the code manually. Paste it into box given on screen and hit Continue. That's it! You're ready to start earning money today.

2. Upload Images & Videos

Next thing you want to do is add photos and videos to showcase your offerings. Remember to tag your listing appropriately so that searchers would know what kind of contents they'll encounter. As for pictures, uploading images is straight forward and you wouldn't face difficulty doing so. On the contrary, video submission is slightly tricky since uploading files larger than 15MB results in automatic ban. Luckily, YouTube provides direct links to download videos uploaded previously. Here's how: Go to Sell section and scroll down to Video tab. Click on View My Videos dropdown menu and paste URL of desired clip. Hit Submit.

3. List Products & Services

Here's where real fun begins. Let's say you're planning to sell electronics. First step would be to view existing categories on Fiverr. Choose Electronics as the base category. Next, look around the page to spot relevant subcategories such as Laptops, Smartphones, Cameras, Computers, Tablets, GPS Devices, Digital Camera Kits, Audio Accessories, etc. Take note that you can filter categories by clicking Categories Filter icon located beside Search Bar. Once you locate a topic you're comfortable with, head over to Add New Category. Type in description and keywords pertaining to your item and press Save. Repeat this procedure for each category you intend to list. When finished, submit your pending submissions. Note that Fiverr automatically bans incomplete listings. Hence, if you fail to finish your current task, please return to this page and try again tomorrow.

4. Earn Money From Ads

Aside from listings, Fiverr runs advertisements too. Although it's optional, users who display advertisement banners on their profiles stand to gain maximum benefit from this feature. Whenever visitors land on your ad, they'd notice small banner placed along side left sidebar. By default, ad displays prices of advertised items. To change this setting, hover mouse pointer near Price field and click Edit. Set price range between 0.01 and 100 cents. Afterwards, hit Update Settings. Lastly, place text describing your product and hit Done.

In addition to displaying prices, Fiverr serves ads featuring discounts and promo codes. Users who click on ads will be redirected to certain landing pages tailored especially for them. Advertisers can customize content displayed on these pages by selecting specific sections in Content Builder. Keep in mind that you can edit ad texts whenever necessary. Also, advertisers can adjust number of impressions shown to viewers per day. Head over to Manage Tab located underneath My Account heading. Select Promotions Department followed by Customize Banner Ads. Use Adjustment sliders to toggle discount percentages. Finally, save changes by hitting Apply Changes.
