3. Be active on social media

Social media is active with over 4.2 billion people as of 2021, that’s more than half of the world’s population, you know what this means, this means that your potential customers are actively using social media

If you become active on social media, you will stand a great chance to get noticed by them and also increase your chance of getting work on fiverr, because, if you are active, they can easily find you on fiverr and once this happen, they will be compelled

4. Be active on forums

Forums on the other hand are also packed with lots of people, people that are looking for great services, forums like reddit, quora, warriorforum and so on are packed with lots of people, so if you are actively using these forums, you may end up getting loads of clients to your fiverr gigs and then make money when they hire you.
