MAKE MONEY BY FREELANCING – GET INDEPENDENT
By

Basic Definition of Freelancing

Freelancing is the work that pays you according to your skills. For example, video editing, graphic designing, data entry, etc. It suits as a part-time job, but you can also take it as a full-time job. It totally depends upon you.

 

THINGS YOU NEED TO BE A FREELANCER

   1. A Good Device

You need a laptop or any other device (but not a mobile phone) and an internet connection .

   2. Skills

You don’t require a lot of skills, but it is necessary for earning money from freelancing for you to have a skill. For example, video editing, graphic designing, etc.

How to work

To work, you have to make an account on Fiverr or any other freelancing website. Don’t make a buyer account; make a seller account.

🧑‍💻 Fiverr Order Process – For Sellers (Explained Casually)

Step 1: Set Up Your Gig

This is your digital shop. You decide what service you want to offer — maybe it’s graphic design, writing, video editing, or even voiceovers.

You add:

  • A catchy title

  • A clear description of what you’ll deliver

  • 1 to 3 packages (Basic, Standard, Premium)

  • Images or examples of your work

  • And requirements (what you need from the buyer to start)

Once done, publish the gig, and you’re live on Fiverr!

Step 2: Wait for Orders (or Respond to Messages)

Now the waiting game begins! Buyers can:

  • Message you to ask questions or request a custom offer

  • Or go straight ahead and place an order

Always respond quickly—Fiverr loves fast responders.

Step 3: The Buyer Orders—Time to Work!

When a buyer places an order:

  • Fiverr notifies you

  • The timer starts only after the buyer submits the required info

Then it’s all on you. Do your best work, be professional, and stick to the deadline.

Step 4: Deliver the Work

Once you’re done:

  • Go to the order page

  • Click “Deliver Work”

  • Upload the final files

  • Write a polite and friendly message

Hit Deliver—and you’re done (for now)!

Step 5: Handle Revisions (If Asked)

If the buyer wants a revision:

  • Don’t panic — it’s common.

  • Just make the changes and redeliver.

Stick to what’s included in your gig. If they ask for something extra, you can offer a paid revision.

Step 6: Get Paid 💸

After the buyer accepts the delivery (or 3 days pass without any action), Fiverr marks the order complete.

Your money moves to “Pending Clearance”:

  • It clears in 14 days

  • Or just 7 days if you’re a Top Rated Seller

Once cleared, you can withdraw it to your PayPal, bank account, or Fiverr card.

🔁 Bonus Tips

  •  Always communicate clearly and politely

  • Use the Fiverr app to stay active and reply fast

  • Deliver before the deadline, not at the last second

  • Collect good reviews—they help boost your gig in Fiverr search.

How to actually get your first order

✨ 1. Don’t Just Offer a Skill, Offer a Solution

Imagine you’re a buyer scrolling through Fiverr. You’re not looking for “someone who writes.”
You’re thinking:

“I need someone who can write my blog post so I can finally launch my website.”

So instead of saying:

“I will write articles”

Say something like:

“I’ll write a blog post that sounds just like you — so your brand feels real.”

Be clear. Be helpful. Talk like you’re solving their headache.

🎨 2. Make It Look Trustworthy (Even If You’re New)

Your gig is your shop window. If it looks messy or unclear, people scroll past.

  • Use clean images. (Canva is perfect—free and easy.)

  • Add a short video if you can—just your voice or face saying who you are and what you do

  • Smile. Be real. People trust people.

💰 3. Start Cheap—and That’s Okay

You’re not “undercharging”—you’re ”just getting your foot in the door.

Offer your service at $5 or $10 to start. Why? Because people are more willing to take a chance on someone new at a low price.

Once you’ve got a few solid reviews? Raise your rates without hesitation.

📱 4. Be Online and Respond Fast

When someone messages you, reply like you’re excited to help—not like it’s a chore.

  • Use Fiverr’s mobile app to stay active

  • Turn on the “Available Now” option

  • Try to reply within an hour—it builds trust and helps your ranking

💬 5. Use Buyer Requests or Briefs

There’s a section on Fiverr where buyers literally say what they need. Go there every day.

When you see a job you can do, send a short, honest offer like:

“Hey! I saw your post and I’d love to help. I’ve done similar work before and can send something over today. Want to see a quick sample?”

No pressure. No spam. Just friendly help.

📣 6. Tell the People Around You

Post your gig on your WhatsApp status, Instagram story, or Facebook. You never know—your cousin’s friend might need a logo, or your classmate might need resume help.

Your first client could be closer than you think.

🧠 7. Be Kind, Be Clear, Be Chill

When you get your first order:

  • Communicate well

  • Deliver on time

  • Give a little extra if you can (like a bonus version or a helpful tip)

Then politely say:

“Thanks so much! If you liked the work, a short review would really help me grow. No pressure!”

People appreciate realness.

🔁 8. Update. Learn. Repeat.

Not getting clicks? Tweak your gig.
Got a bad review? Learn from it.
Feeling stuck? Watch a tutorial or study top-rated sellers in your niche.

Every small move adds up. You’re building something. Trust the process.

🎯 Last Word: Keep Going

No joke—most people quit Fiverr before they even get their first order.
But if you just stay consistent, stay kind, and keep improving, the work will come.

📌 Your goal? Get those first 3 to 5 orders. After that, Fiverr’s algorithm starts showing your gig to more people, and the snowball starts rolling.
