Before you even think about registering with fiverr, then you really do need to
think about what you are going to sell. This is because if you are as an example
going to sell youtube views and a seller is considering two gigs offering roughly
the same service then the username can play a big part in their decision.
Think not? Well in the above scenario say the user names of the two gigs are
‘dario123’ and ‘youtubeviews’ then who do you think the person is most likely to
buy from? It’s going to be ‘youtubeviews’ isn’t it?
So that is why you need to leave registering until you’ve decided exactly what
you are going to sell.
If you make your username reflect what you are selling, it makes you look more
of a specialist and you will get more sales as a result.
Selecting Your (Paypal) email
Firstly be aware that whilst fiverr now offers its own revenue card that you can
apply for (This will take a few weeks to arrive) you really do need a paypal
account. They don’t payout by any other means whatsoever, no Western Union,
no checks etc. So if you don’t have a paypal account or are not prepared to get
one then fiverr’s not for you.
Why is the choice of you email such a key point? Well note that whatever email
you use to register for fiverr needs to be your paypal one. Not a problem you
might think?
Well actually your choice of email is crucial as once you’ve registered with that
email address then you can NEVER change it, no exceptions! This means that it is
best to use a personal email address as your paypal one to register with fiverr. If
you use a work email address, if you change jobs you won’t have access to it, and
as a result you will not be able to withdraw any money.
If this happens and you can’t access that email any longer it means closing your
fiverr account and starting again! Clearly if you’ve built a big customer base then
you may have real issues with doing this, but you could end up with no choice. As
when making a withdrawal you are sent a confirmation email, and if you can’t
access this then you can’t complete the withdrawal.
So always make sure that you register with fiverr using a personal email that you
can always get access to. Write down the password to the email, as if you cannot
access it, then as above, you will not be able to withdraw your money.
