How to use Fiverr to build your business from the ground up
I discovered Fiverr a few months ago when I was looking around for a marketing whizz to help me optimise and manage my facebooks ads for my new Pregnancy Yoga Membership Platform. The moment I did, I wish I had known about Fiverr earlier! Starting a business, even if it’s something “simple” like a blog or an online membership is tough, and getting started is so intimidating that it often puts people off right from the get go! Sound familiar?
Fiverr is packed with professional freelancers that will do the jobs you can’t do or don’t have time to so that your business can thrive without you having to know all. the. things.

GETTING STARTED
Most new businesses need a website to get off the ground and create an online presence. This is old news, but even with easy-to-build CMS systems it can be a huge undertaking for someone not familiar with design or with working in the online space. Not to mention, it’s extremely time-consuming! This is probably one of the first stumbling blocks entrepreneurs hit, but if you don’t know anything about creating a website, SEO or hosting don’t worry at all - someone on Fiverr does this for a living and they can do it all for you!
USING FIVERR TO CREATE CONTENT
Creating content like visuals, videos, infographics and writing blogs posts can be a fun part of fuelling your business’s growth and creating brand recognition. But it’s really only fun if you’re the creative type! What if you’re an accountant, a chiropractor, a math tutor or gym owner and you don’t have a creative bone in your body? Or maybe you’re run off your feet and you simply don’t have time to spend crafting beautiful pins for Pinterest or designing epic facebook ad images and videos. If you’re struggling with finding the time or the inclination to create attention grabbing headlines, blogs and social media posts don’t you worry one bit - once again, Fiverr has got your back!
USING FIVERR FOR DAY TO DAY MANAGEMENT & OUTSOURCING FOR YOUR BUSINESS
There’s so much that goes on behind the scenes in the day to day functioning of even the smallest of businesses and, like most people, you probably started your business because you were passionate about your skillset. It isn’t long before fresh-faced, enthusiastic entrepreneurs realise that, as well as doing the thing they are the most passionate about, they need to manage their accounts, create a social media presence, maintain a weekly blog, create flyers, business cards, build and manage an email list and so much more!
Don’t worry, don’t give up and don’t fall short - you can do all of this and more by outsourcing all of your business needs through Fiverr.
If getting your new business off the ground seems intimidating I hope this article goes a long way toward reassuring you that you don’t need to know how to do it all to be a success, you just need to have access to resources that will let you find the right person to do it for you.
If you are a freelancer making your living from this kind of work, one of the major things you will always need to be aware of is how you can hope to have enough clients to keep your operation afloat as long as possible, and to make as much money as you can.
