Fiverr is an online marketplace for professional services like graphic design, web design, writing, editing, illustration and logo creation. It is a platform for professionals to sell their services to consumers. Like its name, services on Fiverr are billed at $5 dollars. That means you can get a business logo created on Fiverr for that price. If you would like more options with your service however, an extra fee can apply thus making your bill go up more than $5.
Services you can get on Fiverr include
Web design
Logo design
Speech recording
SEO writing
Blog post writing
You may be wondering why these services cost as low as this considering how much they go for ordinarily, but it is only simply because Fiverr was built as a platform for people to sells skills and talent they weren’t probably using.
Payment Method
Payment for Fiverr services is via PayPal. Your payment is not released to the seller until you have received the service and are satisfied with it. This way, you are assured that the vendor will not receive payment and disappear.
I once ordered a business logo on Fiverr and found that it wasn’t what I wanted after it was done. Fiverr will not offer you a refund should this happen, but the money will be kept in your Fiverr wallet till you are ready to make another purchase. You cannot ask for a refund to your PayPal account, you can only reuse the money on Fiverr.
How To Make A Purchase
Considering that prices are so low, there is the possibility of having unpleasant experiences on Fiverr. For starters, look out for vendors with high rating and lots of past projects to show for it. It’s either that or someone whose portfolio looks like what you are searching for.
You will be asked to send a message to the vendor. Be as detailed as possible to prevent misunderstanding. The vendor will give an estimated delivery day, and once your order is ready, it will be uploaded onto your Fiverr page.
Fiverr is a marketplace that revolutionises how business is done. It brings people who possess specific skills together with consumers who may not be able to afford upscale services.
