Fiverr itself is legit and safe to use as a freelancer or a client. Your payments through the platform are protected and they keep your personal information safe. While they do require some verification for freelancers, unfortunately, sometimes scammers can work their way into the system.

Fiverr works by letting buyers pay in advance for “gigs” which are any type of freelance service, ranging from web design, to social media marketing, to copywriting. When Fiverr first launched, all gigs were originally priced at $5, but now freelance sellers can decide to charge more or offer packages of services. Orders are typically completed within a day or two, but the delivery time is set by the seller and can take longer if the seller has a queue of orders. When your order is successfully completed, the seller will receive 80% of the total order value. For example, a $5 gig means the freelancer will receive $4 for a completed order.

There are two ways to view the site, as a freelancer or as a buyer. First, I’m going to explain the terms they use on their site and then I’ll break down how the process works for the buyer and the seller.

Fiverr Business is a tailor-made freelance platform for larger teams and businesses that provides a more convenient experience. This plan comes with collaboration and management tools that let businesses work with freelancers more efficiently. Fiverr Business freelancers will be prioritized on listing pages over non-eligible gigs. This increases the chances of freelancers working with higher-end businesses—with ongoing needs and larger budgets.
