A few months ago, I wrote an article about how promoted gigs on Fiverr can work with a good work ethic and a solid gig behind it. Now I want to show you my earnings as well as talk about why investing back into your gigs instead of withdrawing is a good thing!

Investing in your gigs is a good idea if you can afford it.

In June I dove into the world of promoted gigs on Fiverr.com. By July, I had sold 5 orders to a total of $186.75

After this experiment, I took a couple of weeks off from Fiverr to work on other projects. When I came back, my services went weeks without a single bite.

I couldn't believe how quickly my gigs faded back into obscurity when I wasn't promoting them. You could say that this is a flaw with the Fiverr algorithm, and I wouldn't correct you. It does suck to give Fiverr their 20% AND cost-per-click promotional marketing. But the ugly truth is that I've earned 3x more in a short time by promoting my gigs than I ever did without promoting them.

To continue this experiment, I decided to reinvest earnings into myself.
