1. Become a Content Writer

You will be surprised that there is a huge demand for content writers on Fiverr.

To be honest, not every website owner or blogger writes his/her content.

Many a time they like to outsource their content writing requirements with Fiverr.

There is no harm in doing that as long as the content is unique, plagiarism free and authentic.

As a content writer on Fiverr, you can charge anywhere from $5 to up to $50 for 500 words of content.

Pro Tip: If you are new to Fiverr, it’s better to start off with a $5 gig. Once you start attracting more buyers then you can price your gigs higher. Basically, the minimum starting offer for a gig on Fiverr is $5 but $1 is charged by Fiverr for providing the platform to make money. 

If you are a ProVerified Seller you can price your gigs even much higher.

3. Teach English on Fiverr

Teaching English on Fiverr is not a very popular gig.

I am being honest here!

But as an English teacher teaching English in South East Asia for over 3 years, I see this as a huge potential for Fiverr Sellers.

Demand for ESL teachers is getting higher year after year in many Non-English Speaking Countries.

So, why not make the best use of it?

Let’s start with the basics on How You Can Become a Certified English Teacher?

• The first step is to get a college degree (bachelors degree)
• Get an online TESOL or TEFL Certificate

There are many online TESOL/TEFL accredited programs.

Doing an online TESOL/TEFL will cost you anywhere around $150 to $350 to be a certified teacher.

To be honest, it’s worth the investment.

Here are the Top 10 Online TEFL/TESOL list of Certificate Programs for 2019.

For a 1 hour ESL Lesson, you can charge your students from $25 – $30 depending on your teaching experience.

You can focus on teaching –

• Conversational Speech and Pronunciation
• IELTS Exam Preparation
• Job Interview Preparation
• Grammar
• Reading
• Writing
• Vocabulary
• Improve your students Listening Skills
• Presentation Skills
• and much more…

You can even offer your students a monthly teaching package if they previously liked your 1 hour ESL teaching gig.

For a monthly package, you can charge your students around $100 (2 classes per week or 1 class per week; per class duration for an hour; a total of 4-8 sessions a month).

Imagine you have 10 students enrolled for your monthly package, you could be earning easily $1000 plus.

So, you can see teaching English online is a very profitable business.
