Get Cheap Help on Fiverr – Traffic Tip #74 : Free Traffic Tips

If you haven’t heard of them … well, I’ll let TechCrunch tell you about Fiverr since they did such a fine job telling me:

Fiverr is a marketplace for gigs that are priced at $5. Essentially, you can sell and buy tasks for $5. So anyone can create a gig for small service on the site, and visitors can accept gigs as well. Gig prices are fixed at $5. Buyers can order gigs and are required to pay for the gig in advance. Fiverr takes $1 off of the $5 fee.

So the money question is – how can this generate traffic for you?

Two ways. The Advertising section. You have to do some due diligence to get a really good deal. But since you’re only giving up $5 to sample services, if it doesn’t work out, you haven’t bet the farm.

So why isn’t this likely a scammer’s dream? Well, it’s in Fiverr’s interests to keep scoring that buck. So if word gets out that the guy you keep giving fivers and getting hosed, they’re out future monies.

You’ll have to do a bit of digging, and I say, as always, at least Google the person you’re trusting, and check them out on the social web to be as sure as possible that you’re not getting burned.

The other way you can get traffic from this is to offer bite-sized samples of your services to people through the site. Give people who inquire links to your work on your site. Host the form that collects buyers info on your site. Find a way to get them to your site and/or on your list so you can follow up with them in the future.

Note: I’m less trustful and still testing the Social Marketing section out. There are a lot more variables in play. More on that another day perhaps.

It's a fun site, not te be taking that seriously. For the siteowner it's also a big question mark if he ever can make money with it. Perhaps there are people who are offering to print money with this service, for 5 dollars that is.

I love fiverr. It's definitely my favourite site at the moment. Thanks for writing about it. I found your post very useful for people new to fiverr.

yes , it is a great site but they lack alot of features which might be beneficial to buyers. Failure to show the location of the gigs and even the cities might not be a good idea. Check magicgig.com which does the same job and shows the location of the gigs, even the cities. Although, magicgig allows you to share things you can do for $10 instead of $5. This attracts more sellers to the site because they will make more money

yeah! i will visit this place after my mcse training. you makes me conscious about it

I think it is worthwhile trying out these service after all it will not cost you an arm or a leg and you might just have found a good graphic designer, video or personalized poem. Have a look on http://www.ttenner.com there are a few useful jobs for £10.
