 In Part 1 of our look at Fiverr, we looked at the origin of Fiverr and how you as a network marketing entrepreneur can use the services for sale on Fiverr to your network marketing advantage.

To fully understand the Fiverr experience, we wanted to see what it was like selling on Fiverr. So, in November we established a free account (all the accounts are free to establish).

Two days after our first gig was posted, we had a sale, and we have to say, it was a very cool experience! Since then we've actually filled 36 orders and have earned money and have moved up to be a preferred "#1 Provider." Now we don't plan on making Fiverr a significant form of income, but it is a valid platform for further network marketing possibilities (described below).

Selling on Fiverr - What Would You Do For $4?

While the seller spends $5 per basic gig, when you are a seller on Fiverr, you only make $4 of that. Fiverr takes 20% right off the top, so you are actually working for $4 per gig. OK, so why would you want to try and earn a meager $4 for doing something that might take some real effort? What if it took you 30 minutes of time to do something for $4. You are doing something that may not even qualify as minimum wage.

Plus, how in the heck do you get found in that massive database, especially when you, as a newbie, have to be chosen out of the vast army of fellow "Fiverr-it's" looking to beat you out for that modest $4 (or less)?

Well, it's not as bleak as all of that. Fiverr has a vast forum and many blogs through their customer service department on how to get noticed, and move up in the ranks. Remember, your average gig after you are established could be significantly more than just $5. In our case, as we went up in the rankings, we now have additional "gigs" we can offer up to $40 per gig. That is a real opportunity to make some money.

However, the most important angle of Fiverr (in our humble opinion) is there is also the possibility you can meet someone in another business that creates alliances outside of Fiverr that you may never have encountered. Those connections are worth a LOT. We've made some of those connections and for that point alone, our Fiverr experience as a seller has been well worth the effort.

Signing up to be a Fiverr seller is easy (and free) to do and getting your gig in place will take some thought - there is limited space for a title and you need to be good at keyword tags. Here is where your writing skills will help you out.

Fiverr Selling Success Is About Copy-Writing Skills and Tags As with network marketing, your skills at copywriting are imperative. You have 1,200 words to describe what you'll do for your Fiverr gig, and that is not a lot of words. Your Fiverr title needs to be exact and on the mark. You'll also be given the ability to attach tags to your Fiverr gig, and once again, be exacting in your use of keywords so you can be found.

You have the option of using a video of up to 60 seconds, and this is imperative for success. Fiverr states that you increase your odds of selling something by 220% by using an "introductory video". We don't know how they computed that statistic, but we are in agreement that videos can offer an insight to a prospective Fiverr buyer that words and an image cannot do. If you do decide to sell on Fiverr, USE A VIDEO as part of your gig!

One frustrating aspect of creating a title for your gig is Fiverr says you have 80 spaces to work with, and that is not really true. Their system will not allow a title past 50 spaces. Fiverr is trying to keep the titles from being overwhelming and with the number of Fiverr members advertising, the sheer size of long titles would be unwieldy and cumbersome on the results. In this way, we'll give the benefit of the doubt to Fiverr who is trying to assist you as a Fiverr member to be succinct.

We get the point - tell visitors what they'll get and grab their attention. While we wanted more in our Fiverr title, we had to hone our thinking to be very focused on what we said, and in the end, keeping our headline short is probably in everyone's best interest.

As we stated, we view the Fiverr selling experience as a sort of experiment to see how it works, but the connections you can make are worth the effort, and we view any income we make to be a bonus. We take the view here:

Your experience as a Fiverr seller should be with a wider long-range goal in mind. As a network marketing entrepreneur, by experiencing how Fiverr works on the selling side you can expose your skill sets to new people you have never met, and isn't that what network marketing and making money online is all about? Future alliances from meeting new people can bring synergy to your network marketing business.

So, how much can you make on Fiverr? The "secret" as with network marketing is no secret: Hard work, correct use of copy-writing skills, and persistence to know what to do.
