Is Fiverr Still Worth It in 2025? My $2.4M+ Journey So Far

March 2025 closed out at just over $38,000 in earnings from Fiverr.

That number still surprises me. Last year, most of my months were below $30K. The key takeaway is this: Fiverr can still work if you treat it like a real business.

I am not just sitting back waiting for orders. I am building, experimenting and adapting. The platform is changing and if we want to grow, we need to grow with it.

🛠 What Fiverr Is Doing Right Now

Yes, there have been updates. Fiverr Go, AI tools, new features — all rolling out.

I know some sellers feel uncertain about these changes. I have had mixed feelings too.

That said, Fiverr is still investing in growth. They are running commercials in the U.S., including during major events like March Madness. That tells me they are still focused on bringing in high-quality buyers.

This gives me a sense of optimism.

Not every update will feel right immediately. Some might seem unclear or out of place. But Fiverr has made adjustments in the past and they will probably continue evolving based on feedback.

❗ The Old Way of Waiting on Fiverr Search Is Over

If you are still depending only on Fiverr's search to send you traffic, it is going to be tough.

Some of my gigs get just 1,000 to 2,000 impressions per day — sometimes even less. That is not where the revenue comes from.

I bring in my own traffic.

I reach out to past clients
I promote my services through YouTube
I link to my Fiverr profile from X and Instagram
I talk about what I do and share results regularly

This is what works now. Not waiting. Not hoping. Showing up and building momentum.

📱 You Need to Be on Social Media (But Not Everywhere)

Pick one platform. Make it your home base. Post consistently.

Here are my top 4 choices:

LinkedIn
Great for building credibility and a professional brand. Easy to set up and good reach potential.
YouTube
If you're comfortable speaking on camera, this is one of the most valuable platform. Just from my own channel, I consistently get 5 to 10 new newsletter subscribers per day. That kind of long-term traffic and connection is powerful.
Instagram
Ideal for visual content like design, branding, or social media work. Share behind-the-scenes, client work, or updates in stories and DMs.
X (Twitter)
Probably my favorite right now. Super fast. Great for posting results, screenshots and personal thoughts.

You do not need to post everywhere. Just pick one, stick with it and start showing what you are working on and learning.

🧠 You Do Not Need Perfect English or a Polished Voice

I am not a native English speaker. I still make mistakes sometimes.

But people know it is me. They can tell it is real — and that is more valuable than sounding perfect.

Use tools like ChatGPT to check grammar or spark ideas, but try to write in your own voice. You will improve quickly and people will connect with you more.

🔍 Look for Underrated Gigs and Niche Angles

There are still services on Fiverr that most sellers overlook — but buyers are actively searching for them.

For example, I saw someone offering social media profile setup for $250. He had 3 orders in queue at the time I recorded my video.

If you are offering services like logo design, website development, or social media, try to niche down early. Instead of saying:

I will create a logo for your business

Say something like:

I will create a logo for your restaurant business.
I will create a logo for your real estate agency.
I will create a logo for your med spa business.

This approach helps you stand out more clearly and face less competition in Fiverr's search results.

📈 What I Am Focusing On Right Now

Here is what I am currently working on in my business:

Posting results and updates on X.
Sharing behind-the-scenes agency work on Instagram.
Publishing consistently here on Substack.
Driving traffic to Fiverr through YouTube.
Promoting my new Instagram Strategy gig.
Preparing to launch a platform in April to help sellers reply faster, track leads and manage communication more efficiently.
