Hi Everyone, in this blog post. I would like to share my personal side hustle doing Fiverr arbitrage and make $1400 net on Fiverr with zero skill set. Actually, I have heard this concept before and am interested in trying this business model. So, I decided to create my first Fiverr account using my name and doing arbitrage on Fiverr.
Some of you may hear the term “Fiverr Arbitrage” the first time. Let me explain a bit about it before I explain what I did to achieve $1400 net without doing anything on Fiverr (zero skill set).

What is Fiverr Arbitrage
Fiverr Arbitrage is a buying and selling gig activity on Fiverr to gain profit without doing any fulfillment. It means you can deliver service with zero skillsets since you will outsource it from other freelancers. This kind of practice is the same as the drop servicing business.
The good news is you can outsource the freelancer not only on Fiverr itself, but you can also outsource it from other websites outside Fiverr that can provide lower prices to fulfill the work. I highly recommend you to at least have basic knowledge about the service you want to offer.
Fiverr Arbitrage Methods
Basically, Fiverr arbitrage methods will be reselling gigs with higher prices by fulfilling it from other freelancers with lower prices.
Nowadays, the concept of Fiverr arbitrage has grown. You can outsource it also from another website outside Fiverr which can provide a lower price to fulfill the order. On my first Fiverr account, all my gigs are mostly arbitrage without me doing any fulfillment.
Fiverr Arbitrage Step-by-Step: How I Made $1400 Net with Zero Skill Set
Here you can see from the picture below all my Fiverr orders, which are coming consistently every day. Those orders all come from the Fiverr internal traffic only. I didn’t drive external traffic to my gig to get those daily orders.
Curious how I can get daily orders consistently? It’s because I ranked one of my arbitrage gigs on Fiverr page one. Here you can see the consistent order every day from Fiverr when your gig ranks on Fiverr page 1 for specific services. Sometimes my arbitrage gig can be found on Fiverr page one or two.
Based on my experience, you can take your Fiverr account starts getting order consistently when you keep having good positive reviews from your customers. Then, once your gig gets recommended by Fiverr, you will have a chance to get another order organically from Fiverr. So, quality work plays an important role.
The more order you have, the more Fiverr keep recommending your gig and rank it. So this is why I can get so many orders coming in within one day. Luckily, I don’t have to fulfill any of them, so it’s like passive income for me. Once you have collected positive 75+ star reviews, your gig will be start ranking either on Fiverr page one or two (YES, it takes time!!).
Let me share step by step on what I have done to achieve $1400 net by reselling gig on Fiverr with zero skill set.
Step 1: Determine the Gig Service
The first step is determining what kind of service do you want to sell. You can start by checking on Fiverr, which service you have familiar with. You don’t need to have the skillset, just the basic knowledge about how the service will be delivered to the client. Then, after picking the gig service, you want to arbitrage. Your next step is to find where to outsource the job.
Step 2: Find Outsourced Worker to Deliver
The second step is finding an outsourced freelancer to deliver the job. Actually, you can outsource it from other sellers on Fiverr. But, I still will suggest you outsource it outside Fiverr for the sake of easiness to run your arbitrage business.
I know most of you don’t have any ideas how to outsource the job outside Fiverr. The key here is finding a website/software that can do the job at a lower price to gain profit. Or you can start by finding the outsourcing website first then decide to resell that service at a higher price on Fiverr.
If you don’t know how to find the website or software to outsource the work. Don’t worry, I will share it with you after this step-by-step section to give you some ideas.
Step 3: Pricing Strategy
The third step will be setting up the right pricing strategy to gain profit. You want to ensure to have enough profit margin after considering the Fiverr sales fee, which is 20% of your order.
You can start by selling at a competitive price at the beginning to attract customers ordering your gig. Then, after you have collected several reviews, you can increase your selling price to gain more profit.
Step 4: Rank your Gig on Fiverr and Get Order
After you have set your profit per order, the last step is publishing your arbitrage gig on Fiverr.
Ensure to use the popular keyword for your gig to rank it on Fiverr. You don’t have to worry if your gig title names are the same as other sellers. Fiverr algorithm will rotate each gig on the search page, so your gig will have a chance to get an impression (eyeball).
When you just publish your gig, it will be difficult for you to get your first order, especially if your Fiverr account is still new. Therefore, I highly recommend you use the buyer request feature on your Fiverr account at the beginning to get your first order.
The buyer request will be shown on your account at a specific time, so you need to check it very often to know what specific time your account will receive buyer requests. Then, you will pitch yourself to those buyers by sending them an offer. If the buyer is interested in your offer, they will grab your order. This is what exactly I did at the beginning to get my first order.
Meanwhile, you will need to join the Fiverr Facebook engagement group or even what’s app group in your local country to boost your gig. So why do you need to do that?
There are two main reasons you will need an engagement group. First, you can do a review exchange with other fellow sellers, and second, you can exchange gig’s loves (favorite).
These activities have a huge impact on ranking your gig. In addition, if you don’t have any reviews yet, your buyer will most likely feel doubt about placing an order since there is no testimonial from previous clients.
So, YES, you need to work together with other Fiverr sellers to build reviews on your gig. You need to collect around four times 5-stars reviews for your gig to rank it organically. Collecting favorites and clicks on your gig also helps to rank your gig on Fiverr search.
If you implement all the strategies above, you should be able to crack your first order on Fiverr. Those methods are legit since I have proof it myself. You can implement those strategies by selling an arbitrage gig or your own gig (fulfill by yourself).
Fiverr Arbitrage Software You Can Use
Now, you have to understand how Fiverr arbitrage work and how to get your first order on Fiverr. As my promise to you, I will share to you the software you can use to outsource the work and leverage your skill set like a pro freelancer.
Here I share a list of software you can use to resell it on Fiverr. By utilizing this software, you can fulfill your work easily and deliver the job like an expert.
Speechelo
Using Speechelo will allow you to convert text into a human-sounding voice over with A.I. technology. It’s easy to convert text into audio with only three clicks with the help of Speechelo.
Fulfilling voice over job through Speechelo will save you a lot of money instead of outsourcing another voice over actress to do the job. You just need to make a one-time license payment ($45) on Speechelo and don’t need to hire voice over actors anymore. It can be used for a lifetime.
Speechelo can generate over 30 human-sounding voices with different languages. So, you don’t have to be afraid of delivering a robot voice over like other free software offers. Instead, the voice generated by Speechelo is a human-sounding voice over in which your customer will not even realize that it’s A.I. technology.
The beauty of this method is that you can deliver a pro voice over service with good quality human voice without you have to do any work, simply with only three clicks to fulfill the order. This is a great arbitrage gig idea you need to try to make money online.
Invideo
Another high-demand service on Fiverr is creating video ads, whether for the dropshipping product, commercial ads, or explainer video. I highly recommend you use Invideo as the best video animation software to create video ads and explainer videos.
Invideo will provide you with many templates for an explainer video, sales video, product videos, and many more. You just need to do a little bit of editing to adjust it as per your client’s needs.
Using Invideo will allow you to deliver videos content for Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok, Youtube, and Pinterest. In addition, creating stunning video ads becomes easy and quick by using Invideo. You can try Invideo for a 7-day free trial to see how great it can help leverage your skillset as a video animator.
Canva Pro
Graphic design skillset will be very useful if you can operate Corel Draw or Adobe Photoshop to provide design services such as logo design, Facebook post, Youtube thumbnail, Youtube cover, Instagram post, and Pinterest pin. But, unfortunately, many of us don’t have a graphic design skillset even though the demand was huge on Fiverr.
Luckily, there is Canva as a super easy-to-use graphic design software. It can instantly transform anyone into an expert in any graphic design task. I myself use Canva to create a banner, product images, pictures in this blog, Instagram post, Pinterest pin, etc.
I highly recommend you upgrade it to Canva Pro to get the utmost benefit of it. You can use so many fonts, stickers, elements, images, and templates without any limitation on Canva Pro. Not only that, you will be able to remove background also by using Canva Pro.
I could say that you will never regret enrolling in Canva Pro since there are so many graphic design jobs you can do without having any skillset in Corel Draw and Adobe Photoshop.
Well, those are the three software I can recommend to you. However, there is so much software out there you can use to skyrocket your skillset without being an expert, so you can do Fiverr Arbitrage by using that software.
Drop Servicing Business Ideas (Fiverr Arbitrage Ideas)
I have explained to you about selling Fiverr arbitrage by using software to leverage your skillset in the previous section. The other alternative is to outsource the freelancer from other websites outside Fiverr, which is cheaper to gain profit.
Here I will share with you some websites you can use to drop servicing business on Fiverr besides using the software.
SEOClerk
SEOClerk is a great place to outsource freelancers outside Fiverr with lower prices. You can find many services such as Spotify promotion, Youtube video promotion, Youtube SEO, backlinking, indexing service, etc.
Ensure you set the right selling price on Fiverr to gain profit from hiring freelancers on SEOClerk. It’s important to choose reputable sellers with high ratings and fast response rates, so you can reach out to them fast when you need any adjustment on your order.

Overall, I made around $1400 net by selling arbitrage gig on Fiverr until my account got disabled due to a Fiver’s TOS violation. It was so pathetic when I ranked my arbitrage gig on Fiver page 1. Then, I suddenly lost my passive income due to my foolishness. Don’t worry. I will share with you my story on how my Fiverr account is disabled permanently.
My Personal Story: Fiverr Account Disabled Due to Fiverr TOS Violation (IMPORTANT to READ!)
Here I would like to share my personal story of how I ended up losing my first Fiverr account. Long story short, my Fiverr account was disabled by the Fiverr team due to my stupid mistake.
One day, the customer asks my PayPal email address because the customer doesn’t want to pay the Fiverr fee. It’s completely my mistake, I typed “P*aypal” (Fiverr can detect your keyword even if you put a symbol on it) on my chat to let the customer know that it was my PayPal email address. Surprisingly, when I press enter on my chatbox, it was detected by Fiverr.
Then, suddenly my Fiverr account getting under review, and all my gig was not active. It is such a BIG LOSS for me since my gig already ranks on Fiverr page 1, which keeps me getting orders consistently every day. So here is the email explanation from the Fiverr team about my account under review.
Since this is the second time, I made the same mistake. In the end, Fiverr’s TOS team decided to disable my Fiverr account permanently after a one-month review. Here is the final decision email from the Fiverr TOS team. Luckily, I have withdrawn all my money before my account got disabled by Fiverr.
Well, even though my first Fiverr account getting disabled. I managed to create a second Fiverr account and reached level one seller easily using my blog name which is Ebiz Strategic. Haha yeah, I made it again! since I know exactly how to grow on Fiverr.
Actually, the way I got the order on my second Fiverr account is by contacting my old customer from my first Fiverr account. So, I decided to contact my loyal customer on eBay and Etsy who always place repeat orders on my reselling traffic gig. It works! They place an order on my second Fiverr account.
Unfortunately, it seems Fiverr noticed that I created my second account since I am still using the same smartphone, same phone number, same laptop, and same internet connection on my second Fiverr account (This is my stupid mistake!). This is bad when I realized one of my best reselling traffic gigs didn’t get any impression even though already collecting 5 stars reviews 39 times.
My hypothesis could be that Fiverr may know that I create a second Fiverr account so I didn’t get any impression on my top-selling gig (This is really painful). Then, I realized that my hypothesis is valid when I try to use Promoted Gig feature where seller level one has access to it, you will get $10 credit ads for free from Fiverr to test this feature.
For sure, I will try to use this feature to boost my reselling traffic gig on the first page of Fiverr. Unfortunately, when the ads run, I still didn’t get any impression even though I increase the bid number. Then, I decided to ask Fiverr customer support about this issue.
Surprisingly! After the Fiverr customer support team asked the related team about the issue, they decided to disable my account permanently LOL. This is shocking me! It means this is the second time I got disabled on Fiverr.
Well, it’s just my personal story that I want to share, so you will be more careful moving forward when selling your gig on Fiverr. First, don’t ever accept any transaction outside Fiverr, or you will risk losing your Fiverr account, which means all your hard work will be diminished.
Second, if you want to create a second Fiverr account use a different mobile phone, different phone number, different laptop, and for sure a different username also. All of these mistakes happened because I didn’t read Fiverr TOS rule at the beginning. So I highly recommend you also read Fiverr TOS to ensure your account will be safe.
In my opinion, investing in your Fiverr account is a great digital asset that can keep bringing you free orders by leveraging the existing active buyers inside the platform. Currently, Fiverr active buyers keep growing year by year even though the pandemic has fastened the growth of the active buyers on the platform.
It will be great if you decided to jump into the Fiverr arbitrage opportunity as your online side hustle while working on your 9-5 job. Well, that’s all about my story on Fiverr. Then, you will be asking me whether I am interested to start my third Fiverr account and making it great again? YES absolutely!
