Are you a struggling musician who is looking for an online platform to showcase your talent and make money at the same time?
Then, Fiverr is the perfect place for you! Fiverr is one of the largest freelance marketplaces that offer various services from all over the world.
As a musician, I have personally used Fiverr and made over 100K while working from home.
In this blog post, I will share with you my tips and tricks on how I started, grew, and scaled on Fiverr.
In March 21st 2016 around 10pm, I was doing what most people do at the time - watching a movie and chilling out.
The laptop was on my lap so i browsed the internet whilst the movie was on. Suddenly a fiverr ad popped on my screen!
I click through having never heard of this site before and saw they offered logo designs for just $5!
i wasnt that much interested in logo design (even though $5 for a logo is a real good deal) but i was interested in the music section i spotted. So i browsed for a few minutes and created an account.
Once account was created i closed the laptop and went back to the film. 4 months went by and i completely forgot about fiverr untill a notification popped up in my email saying 'CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE AN ORDEER ON FIVERR!'
I remember thinking, 'huh whats fiverr?' lol. So after going on understading i had gotten my first client, i powered up the computer and started on the job.
It was a theme song for a carribean restuarant.
They were opening up in south london in 8 days time and wanted custom theme music to play on the opening day.
Write, recorded and mixed a song for them - delivered it on time, recieved my first 5 star review and the rest is history :)
A few weeks went by, i got second another job.
another few weeks went by, I got my 3rd job.
and within just six months - i was top rated seller on the platform and now fast forward 7 years, I've reached a milestone of earning $100K, worked with thousands of clients in over 42 different countries and made a ton of friends too.

The key takeaway here is my 'set it and forget it' mindset.
I created the account and walked away.
I wasn't checking it every day to get my hopes and feel let down when there wasn't a job - and till today that's still my motto, 'set it and forget it' or sometimes i called it:
Write, submit, forget, repeat.
This really works for not only music but business too.
Anyways that's how i made 100K as a fiverr musician BUT now its your turn.
These are my best tips on how i would start, grow and scale on fiverr if i had to start all over again
Tip #1: Starting on Fiverr
When starting on Fiverr, the first step is to create an account and set up your profile. Make sure that your profile showcases your skills such as your music niche, experience, and qualifications.
Be creative and professional when building your profile, as it's the first impression you will make on potential clients.
To stand out, post some samples of your music and highlight your unique selling point.
Once you have set up your profile, start by offering gigs at a competitive price.
(I'm talking literally 5 dollars) This way, you can attract more clients and gain more experience.
Don't be too rigid on pricing as you can adjust it with time and as you gain more experience on Fiverr.
Take advantage of buyer requests to pitch your offers and build your clientele.
Remember to set it and forget it.
I took me a few weeks or even months to see get my first client so hang in there and be patient.
