Fiverr®: Where Lifestyle Experts Post, Customize & Expand Their Dating Services in 190+ Countries

The Short Version: Fiverr® gives experts in the dating industry an open marketplace to create, customize, and sell their niche services on the web. The flexible and affordable platform currently lists millions of services posted by entrepreneurs, freelancers, and small businesses around the world. Fiverr’s global community of creative self-starters monetize their talents and market to people in 190 countries. In the site’s lifestyle section, any industrious individual can sell dating advice, online dating consults, and other digital services to singles in a targeted and innovative way. Fiverr connects dreamers and doers with a world of opportunity to grow their brands and make a living through specialized freelance work.

In 2015, Stacy wanted to work from home, pursue her passion for writing, and help singles improve their love lives — and Fiverr®, a global online marketplace, gave her a way to do just that. She created a profile, under the username Stcylace, and marketed herself as an online dating coach who specializes in writing and editing dating profiles.

Stacy, a freelance dating expert on Fiverr, met her fiancé by writing attractive online dating profiles.

Stacy set up custom Gigs® (short-term services) and began building her brand on Fiverr. Her dating services included giving detailed feedback on dating profiles on OkCupid, Plenty of Fish, Match, and other well-known dating websites.

“I also offer a Gig for writing customized opening messages as a way to help people connect with their digital crushes,” she said in a blog post on Fiverr. “I was able to become financially stable within just six months of starting my account!”

The Fiverr platform gave Stacy access to singles across the globe, but what she truly valued was the site’s flexibility. As an online seller, she could expand her freelance business from home. “I actually have a mobile career now, which was always a dream of mine,” she said.

Stacy is not alone in her success on the website. Since its founding in 2010, Fiverr has promoted over 30 million projects made by individuals and small businesses. In 2016, an average of 5,600 services were created every day, and more than 950 services were sold every hour.

Today Fiverr operates in more than 190 countries to help freelancers everywhere find lucrative ways to share their expertise on the web. Fiverr sellers set their own prices and keep 80% of all revenue earned on the site. The platform gives professionals the flexibility to work how and when they choose, and they can customize their brand offerings to meet the needs of their niche audiences.

In Fiverr’s lifestyle section, dating experts offer dating and relationship advice as well as hands-on dating profile assistance to grow their authority, generate revenue, and engage with singles in a global marketplace.

“If you have an idea, we think you should give it a shot and see if it resonates on Fiverr,” said Sam Katzen, Senior PR Manager at Fiverr. “You can test out any idea, talent, or service without any overhead on the site — it’s super fast to create a profile and start selling, so that fuels a lot of innovation in our community.”

Originally, Fiverr was built as an affordable tool to help entrepreneurs make ends meet. Launched in 2010 in the midst of a global recession, the site was known for $5 services and one-time gigs. However, as the site’s popularity grew and the gig economy grew, the level of services grew along with them.

Fiverr prices can sometimes start at five dollars per job, but professionals can choose to set their prices as high as $10,000!

“Despite the name, Fiverr hasn’t been in the five-dollar marketplace for quite some time,” Sam said. “Our freelancers can charge whatever they want on the site, and their services have grown increasingly more complex to serve a more upscale market.”

“[Fiverr] took a lot of stress off me. It allowed me to focus on my business.” — Robin DeMarco, Founder of Coached by Robin

Fiverr provides an altogether different way to work — with more flexibility and less risk. Millions of freelancers use the platform to create custom services to fit their skill sets and work parameters. This is a tempting prospect for adventurous sellers with an idea or a talent they want to test online.

Sam told us that a majority of the site’s users, about 76%, are millennials who enjoy the freedom of Fiverr. “Millennials really value flexibility, and that’s what we provide,” he said. “The gig economy space has really been embraced by the millennial generation.”

Posting a service is free and simple, requiring no overhead, so whatever you earn is pure profit. This accessible setup encourages freelancers to experiment with varied services and diversify their businesses. Dating experts can create different Gigs to see what singles respond to and what services work best.

Fiverr attracts young, adventurous entrepreneurs looking to grow their businesses online.

The freelancers on the site aren’t limited by their location — their talents can reach people across the globe using Fiverr’s online network of creators and consumers.

“You can sign up and create a Gig in five minutes because we don’t collect much demographic information. We think everybody should have as much opportunity as possible,” Sam said. “You shouldn’t be constrained by where you live or your gender or your race or  your age — those things shouldn’t inhibit your ability to be talented and deliver quality service.”

Fiverr lists millions of services in 100 different categories, including graphic design, digital marketing, business, writing, programming, and lifestyle. The relationship advice section is a robust resource with dating experts from around the world offering their services to singles on the web.

The site’s features make it easy for freelancers to scale up their services with just a click. “With Gig Packages, you can create tiers of good, better, and best services,” Sam said, “to give your customers more options and deals.”

A Gig is a narrowly defined job posted online to help someone with a specific task, such as writing a dating profile, in a single transaction. The seller can sweeten the deal with a few Gig Extras offered to add extra help in the form of related services, self-help books, or other useful products. This is a great way to add to your revenue by recommending a full range of your brand’s products.

Fiverr freelancers can easily package up services that go together well — like dating advice and image consults — to offer singles an irresistible deal.

From giving feedback on customer reviews to tacking on additional services, the Fiverr marketplace gives you the freedom to manage your business your way. Dating experts can use an array of simple tools to market their skills online and turn a profit without ever leaving their laptops.

“You can manage your workload more effectively on Fiverr than you can alone because we cut out so many variables,” Sam said. “You don’t have to spend time prospecting for customers or managing payments because we take care of that for you.”

Fiverr supports a global online community, so it only makes sense that the company has offices around the world. Their original headquarters was in Tel Aviv, Israel, but they’ve since expanded to New York City, San Francisco, Miami, and Chicago. The tech startup attracts the best talent in these forward-thinking cities by offering competitive perks and a dynamic work environment.

According to the website, “Our goal is to create the Earth’s most amazing digital marketplace. A place where people can find and purchase nearly any service they need, all while helping talented people thrive.”

This lofty mission statement is backed by an enthusiastic and active team collaborating around the world. The contemporary design of the offices — with comfy couches, snug conference booths, and a beautiful outdoor terrace — fosters creativity and innovation in the workplace.

At Fiverr, employees can blow off steam in the company gym or play around in the arcade room to get their juices flowing. Multiple cafeterias and dozens of conference rooms inspire casual brainstorming sessions between passionate experts in design, marketing, development, operations, and customer support.

“We really try to practice what we preach here,” Sam told us. “Fiverr is a brand driven by the doer’s mentality of moving quickly and getting things done.”

Fiverr maintains a fun and dynamic work environment where new ideas are always welcome. The company’s slogan is “In Doers We Trust” because Fiverr’s success is dependent upon the success of the doers who use the platform.

“The site is made for people who want to get things done,” Sam said. “Taking action, moving quickly, having an impact — those are values that we carry across our entire team.”

Fiverr is the world’s largest marketplace for buying and selling professional services, and it’s an ideal platform for entrepreneurs seeking more control over their businesses. If you’re trying to gain traction in the dating industry, Fiverr offers a substantial opportunity to grow your brand and generate revenue in over 100 niche categories.

Signing up as a Seller on Fiverr takes about five minutes and is 100% free.

Maybe your specialty (like Stacy’s) is writing dating profiles or maybe you excel at doling out helpful relationship advice — whatever your talent is, Fiverr encourages turning your passion into profit by joining the growing gig economy. Freelancers enjoy the freedom to create, customize, and promote their niche services however they see fit on this accessible platform

On Fiverr, a Gig is bought every four seconds as millions of people browse for affordable digital services.

“Over the years, we’ve consolidated our efforts around the entrepreneurial space. On Fiverr, customers are pushed to you, so you can just work,” Sam told us. “We give freelancers the ability to navigate their own path and monetize their talents more efficiently.”
