I am going to show you how to make money on Fiverr step by step. If you didn’t know, Fiverr is a marketplace where anyone can sign up and sell services for $5 and
That can be anything from logo design, transcript, video creation, backlinks, social signals and so on. You can even get a video of your name in shells on the beach or hold your sign while skydiving.
If you have a browse through the available Fiverr gigs you will see how varied they are – there really is a gig for everyone!
The best bit is anyone can learn how to make money online by signuping to Fiverr as a seller and starting selling their service.
This is exactly what Eze John did earning $1,644 in 30 days and you are about to learn the exact process he used to make money on Fiverr.
If you are looking for a way to get started online – it really doesn’t get any easier than this. Even I’m admiring its simplicity.
Credit to Eze John for revealing all of this, he could have easily packaged up what your about to learn as an eBook and sold it.
Instead he chose to teach you how to make money on Fiverr free of charge, so hat’s off to him for doing that.
Eze John is 20 years old from Nigeria. He is always looking for new ways to make money online and struck success with Fiverr.
He is going to share precisely how he made $1,644 in 30 days with his gig so you can do the same!
Fiverr is the leading marketplace for services starting at just $5. Lots of people buy and sell services (and also products) everyday through Fiverr.
The available services range from business promotion, social networking and advertisement to funny videos, graphic design and translations to mention just a few.
These offered services are called “GIGS” on Fiverr. You can find almost anything you need. People from all over the world visit the site to offer their services and expertise.
Before I get into things let me show you proof of my earnings from my Fiverr account which is less than 40 days old.
As you can see it shows a total of $1,644 earned but has since gone on to earn nearly $2,000. I did all of this using a piece of software I bought for just $67.
So how did I manage to make that much money with Fiverr? Well first of all I spent time looking at what other people are having success with.
At the same time I spotted an awesome product that helped me create animated videos really quickly.
So the idea for my gig was born – I’m going to create a video animation service offering things like whiteboard videos, 3D animation videos, hand drawn videos etc.
There is no big secret here – I just looked at what other people sold and what I could make quickly and created some relevant gigs.
You could say that preparation met opportunity perfectly!
Here are some samples of the videos I was selling to give you a better idea-
Pretty cool videos right?
What a lot of people don’t realise is just how high the demand is for videos like this and they are super easy to make!
You can just create a gig for these kind of videos today on Fiverr and start getting orders the same day – they are hugely popular!
As you can see the orders come flooding in!
You might be wondering how exactly I’m creating the videos and you’ll be glad to know it is really simple.
Not long ago a WSO appeared for Video Maker FX which is a simple piece of software to create animated videos. I paid $67 for it at the time.
The software makes it really easy and quick to make all kinds of different videos for all kinds of business in no time at all.
But there are tons of different types of gigs you can offer.
Take a look at these 36x methods to make money on Fiverr for example.
So now I’ve shown you what I do and what I use to do it, now all you need to is how to make money on Fiverr yourself.
Just follow the steps below and you will learn how to make money on Fiverr easily-
First of all I bought Video Maker FX and spent time practising making videos of all different types with it.
It took me a couple of weeks of playing but I soon got the hang of being able to make videos quickly.
Once I knew I could produce awesome videos I created my Fiverr Gig.
I kept the title short and simple – “I will Create a Professional Whiteboard Animation Video In 24hours for $5.”
Here are some other titles I have used that did well-
Feel free to play around – you get the idea!
If you do a search for similar gigs you will notice some of them have better images than others that really stand out.
Do some searches and take some inspiration from the gig images that really stand out to you.
Once you have done that you can use PicFont.com to create your Fiverr gig image, if you really want to stand out you can also hire someone on Fiverr to do it!
Your description is also a very important part to your gig that you need to get right.
Just like with the images I also search around Fiverr and look at what the other top sellers are doing and use their descriptions as inspiration.
Whatever you do, don’t copy their descriptions or your will get banned. Just use them as inspiration and come up with your own unique description.
One of the most important parts of your gig is setting up the tags and keywords.
A lot of people don’t realise this but having your gig tagged correctly is very important to the ranking of your gig in Fiverrs search results.
Take a look at the picture above and you will see the tags I used and also set your gig delivery duration to “1 DAY”.
You also have the option of adding a video to your gig to make it stand out. Again this helps to boost rankings and sales so pay attention.
I just used Video Maker FX to make a catchy video for my gig, it doesn’t need to be anything special but shows off the service as well.
Once you have everything setup and your Fiverr gig is live you need to apply the secret sauce to get the gig ranking and sales flowing in.
This has been my secret for about 6 months that I have only shared with a few of my friends. I can rank any gig #1 for any keyword on Fiverr in less than 48 hours for any search term like “video animation”, “usa traffic” and so on.
Here is how I do it-
NOTE: You must have completed the previous steps for this to work.
Create a dummy Fiverr Account and buy your gig twice. Then give your gig a nice positive review (You will only loose $2 when you do this).
Now just sends at least 250 fake hits/visitors to your Fiverr gig. This will boost your gigs impressions and make it more visible to cash at hand buyers.
If you don’t know how to get fake visitors, well you can just buy them from Fiverr but don’t go overboard with them.
Make sure you use accurate tags for your gigs and also include the keywords you want to rank for in the title and description.
If you are going to do a gig like the one I’ve shown you above you would use tags like-
Well truth be told I do not do anything to promote my gigs outside of Fiverr. All I do is what I have shared with you in this tutorial.
There are over 1 million buyers on Fiverr so once I have ranked my gigs I do not need to promote them because I already have massive exposure to cash at hand buyers.
So now you understand how to make money on Fiverr – what are you waiting for?
Go and make your first dollar online right now!

How To Make Money On Fiverr Update was originally published on Matthew Woodward
Choosing the best WordPress hosting for your site is critical.
And the most important thing you need to consider is…
How fast it is!
Why?
Because if your website loads slowly, you will suffer from-
And last but not least…
Your websites speed is critical to the bottom line of your business.
And all of that starts by making sure you choose the best WordPress hosting for you.
Keep reading and you’ll understand exactly what I mean…
Because the tests below will help you save $1,080 this year.
Choosing the best WordPress hosting is easy.
You want to make sure that the host you choose-
The problem is, that is much easier said than done.
So to find out who really offers the best WordPress hosting…
I setup 18 test blogs across 7 popular managed WordPress hosting providers.
And then I ran 6 tests across each of those 18 blogs-
So with WPEngine & LiquidWeb being the most expensive of all of them by a long way.
You would expect them to be the clear winners…
Right?
Not even close.
I setup a total of 18 test sites across each of the 7 hosts.
Hosts that included a CDN as part of their package had 2 sites installed on them (WPXHosting, Kinsta & WP Engine).
Hosts that ask you to use a free CDN like CloudFlare had 3 sites installed on them (Siteground, Hostgator, Amazon EC2 & LiquidWeb).
All of the sites are hosted in the USA.
Then I created 3 different types of blog on 1 host and cloned that across each host using this plugin–
Cronus Theme
11 photos
2,000 words
Cronus Theme
30 plugins
No text/images
Blog Type #1
Plus Free CloudFlare CDN
And to help make things a little easier for you…
You can see the live versions of all of test blogs below-
HostGator
LiquidWeb
Amazon EC2
Kinsta
WP Engine
Feel free to click through to any of them and run your own tests!
But if you’re too lazy to do that…
Here are the results of my 6 tests-
In this test:
I took the Blog Type 1 (image heavy) install for each host and ran it through GTMetrix twice.
Often a sites content is cached on the hosting server and CDN.
So I ran 2 passes of GTMetrix to make sure all caches were primed.
Then I tested each site from 7 global locations and averaged out the results.
This is what it looks like-
But it’s fair to say that all of the hosts performed within acceptable levels in Canada and North America (except for Amazon EC2).
It’s only when you start taking a global look at things do you see dramatic differences in the load times.
But having globally fast loading times is critical in the modern economy.
A plugin heavy site can cause huge problems when it comes to load times.
And it’s easy to get carried away!
This blog has 56 active plugins at the time of writing-
And plugins can have such a big impact on load time…
WP Engine maintains a list of plugins that are banned on their platform.
So for the Blog Type 2 (plugin heavy) installs, I installed 30 popular plugins with no other content whatsoever.
This test is different because we are testing the computing power of the host, rather than the speed of delivering static image files.
Then I tested each plugin heavy install from 7 global locations & averaged out the results-
Like the first test, WPX Hosting is the winner here.
Although it is a marginal win over WP Engine.
It’s worth bearing in mind that the tested page had absolutely zero content.
And the slower hosts seem to have started choking with the higher number of requests.
The WordPress Performance Tester plugin is specifically designed to stress test WordPress hosting servers.
It does that by running a number of tests-
And then outputs 2 performance metrics-
I ran each of the Blog Type 1 (image heavy) installs for each host through the plugin.
And these were the results…
As you can see 2x of the more budget friendly hosts WPX Hosting & Siteground performed incredibly well here.
But interestingly:
That is the exact opposite of what I would expect to happen…
You would think those extra $$$ translate into better hosting hardware and setups!
But the data is telling a different story.
Next I wanted to know:
How would each host perform under stress from 500 simultaneous visitors?
However I had a huge problem:
Most hosts automatically block tests like this because it reseambles a DDOS attack.
But it was critical that I conducted anonymous testing because I didn’t want the hosts to know I was testing them.
So I created a new page on each Blog Type 1 (image heavy) install with 1,000 words-
Then I set Load Impact to work by sending 500 simulated visitors to load each page on each host.
This is how it played out-
From the tests I was able to complete-
WPX Hosting was the hands down winner here – it wasn’t even close.
And although WPEngine, Amazon and LiquidWeb were slower…
They did not collapse under the testing and remained online.
As for the other hosts I had problems testing with-
And while I would have loved to get a result for them…
It would have brought attention to my testing & I wanted to test anonymously.
Perhaps in the future I will be able to run this test again for the missing hosts.
Speed of your website is one thing.
And given that the tested hosts are self proclaimed “WordPress Experts”…
I wanted to put that to the test.
So I opened an identical support ticket with each host to see-
Here is the support ticket I sent to each host-
Hi Support,
I am not a very technical person and need help with the setup of this redirect on my site hosted with you thanks:
hostingtest2.space – all pages except hostingtest2.space/wp-admin
to redirect to
hostingtest2.space
Thanks in advance.

It’s not a super easy problem to fix…
But it’s not super difficult either.
Any WordPress expert should be able to tackle it.
In my opinion the easiest way to solve this problem is with a .htaccess edit like this-
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^(/wp-admin|.wp-login.php.) [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http:/hostingtest3.space//$1 [R=301,L]
But:
There is always more than one way to skin a cat!
As expected – the test results varied wildly here.
Some hosts took full control and deployed a solution on my behalf…
Where as others… didn’t.
Here is how they performed-
And out of those 3-
It was WPXhosting that solved the problem the quickest and with minimum fuss.
However:
Their “WordPress experts” were not able to solve the problem.
4x of the hosts I tested did not include any kind of CDN-
And it is common advice for hosting companies to recommend you setup the free version of the CloudFlare CDN.
Supposedly this will help increase site speed.
But is that really true?
To find out I cloned the Blog Type 1 (image heavy) install to a new domain on each host and then activated the free CloudFlare CDN-
Then I tested each of these installs with GTMetrix from 7 different global locations.
And the results were very interesting…
So far we have focused purely on speed, reliabiliy and support.
But what about other hosting features…
As you can see:
There really isn’t that much difference between them on the face of it…
Except for price!
It’s only with the nitty gritty testing that you see huge differences in quality of service.
Regardless of which host you look at, each of them have their own cons.
The best wordpress hosting for me, isn’t necessarily the best WordPress hosting for you.
For example:
WPX Hosting is clearly the fastest, but if you need phone support…
They aren’t right for you.
So here is what I didn’t like about each of the managed WordPress hosting options-
WPX Hosting
Hostgator
Liquid Web
SiteGround
Amazon
While it is usually true that “you get what you pay for” in life..
That isn’t true when it comes to choosing the best wordpress hosting.
WP Engine ($115/mo) & Liquid Web ($99/mo) are the most expensive but also failed to perform.
HostGator were also consistently poor.
That leaves SiteGround, Kinsta and WPX Hosting to consider.
Kinsta and WPX Hosting performed consistently faster than Siteground.
But Siteground did hold steady throughout all of my testing.
I suspect if you added a quality CDN to SiteGround rather than the free CloudFlare suggestion they would perform much better.
But that’s an extra cost and Kinsta & WPX Hosting already include good CDNs for free.
So if I was going to rank them…
The great irony of these results is that…
WPX Hosting used to host this blog (I famously ditched WPEngine for them).
Then 2 years ago…
I moved the blogs hosting over to Kinsta because I needed-
But:
Since I moved this blog to Kinsta…
The WPX Hosting team have added a bunch of new features such as-
In fact I still have 9 sites hosted with WPX Hosting including my SEO agency site and my black friday deals site (neither of which have WPX Cloud activated right now).
Where as Kinsta are currently hosting this blog and my SEO course.
But as they say:
The proof is in the pudding.
And based on all of my testing and personal experiences…
The best WordPress hosting is WPX Hosting
(assuming you don’t need phone support)
And remember this:
A faster website will result in-
And most importantly…
So don’t waste your time and money with a slower host.
Who do you think the best WordPress host is right now?
I would love to know!
