Looking to create your very own full-time career where you can be your own boss? One way many people are doing this is by becoming freelancers on platforms like Fiverr. If you're considering working on Fiverr, or are just curious about what it's all about, let me share my experiences from over the years.

I never imagined I would be a freelancer.

Back in 2016, at the age of 21, I returned home from a six-month trip to New Zealand. After having an amazing time, I had one fundamental problem.

I was completely broke.

To go on my trip, I had to quit my job and move out of my apartment, meaning that when I returned home, I would come back to nothing. I never went to college or university and had very little to my name.

Ah, the decisions that past me made.

Upon returning from my trip, I quickly found work standing at the end of a machine in a cardboard printing factory. This factory was literally dedicated to printing Amazon boxes. Millions of them. You can imagine how exciting the 12-hour night shifts were.

After the first year, I decided there must be more to life than this. I was young, energetic, and capable. I had skills and the ability to learn. I was a clever guy, so surely I could do something more.

After reading a few 'how to make money online articles', I came across the job of a freelancer. I heard the term chucked around but had never given it much thought. Freelance. Work anywhere in the world. Do the work you love. Charge what you want. Choose your own hours.

It was that or continuing to work in the dark, dusty factory where the best food in the cantina was the two-day-old baked beans. I gave it a shot.

Six years later, I've never felt more fulfilled. Thanks to platforms like Fiverr, I can live the life I want to live.

When I started out freelancing, I didn't really know what I wanted to do. Nowadays, I'm hyper-focused when it comes to writing blogs, articles, and ebooks, but that's after gaining a few years of experience under my belt. Back in the day, I had no clue which direction to go as a freelancer, but Fiverr made it easy to experiment.

In fact, there are over 300 categories of jobs to dive into, which is just mind-blowing when you think about it. From graphics, web, and logo design to translation services, blog writing, Discord server set-up, and animation, the list of things you can do is only capped by your imagination.

There were skills I had, such as setting up WordPress sites, that I didn't even consider I could make money from, yet in minutes, I was. Quite a bit in fact. Having the ability to experiment and find the work I love has been an incredible journey so far.

I'm both a seller and buyer on Fiverr, and there's no denying the platform is shockingly user-friendly.

As a seller, you can easily set up your gig, add images, videos, and create an enticing description of what it is you're offering potential clients. You can also offer different packages at different price points to help increase your earnings per gig.

Yeah, there's a little learning curve, and it can definitely feel overwhelming at first, but every platform is going to feel that way in the beginning. Fiverr was super easy to pick up as there were just five steps to complete before my Gig went live becoming available for purchase.

As a buyer, the search function is super straightforward, enabling you to easily find what you're looking for without any hassle. The messaging system is also great as it keeps all correspondence between you and the seller in one place.

Plus, if there are ever any issues with an order or problems with a seller, the customer support team is always super responsive and helpful.

Overall, I've had a fantastic experience freelancing on Fiverr, and it's changed everything for me. If you're thinking of giving it a go, then I say go for it! You might just surprise yourself with what you can achieve.

Delivery requests are sent to the drivers, known as Dashers, using the Doordash app. As soon as you install the Doordash driving app, you can start making additional money.

Some orders come with a bonus, like an additional $2. Those are delivery requests related to notable customers or significant events. Using the Doordash app, you'll sign in and indicate that you are available to take delivery orders.

If you take more deliveries than the usual Dasher, you'll receive a bonus and make extra money. An acceptance rate of 80% usually results in a bonus. Doordash drivers don't always use their cars. In certain places, they deliver on foot, on a bicycle, or on a scooter. On average, the hourly wage ranges from $15-$25.

Being an Instacart driver or shopper gives you a lot of freedom while paying you good money for using the Instacart app. By looking at the various shifts or "pickup hours" on the Instacart app, drivers and shoppers may choose the hours they wish to work.

You'll see that some days are marked as "unavailable" or "no hours available for pickup" on the calendar, which indicates you can't schedule hours during those timeframes. Shifts and accessibility are displayed on a weekly basis.

If you want to create a schedule ahead of time, you can swipe to the following week and secure your desired hours. Be sure to choose the appropriate places or regions where you wish to work and keep note of the hours or days when there are open shifts.

Based on the status and the flexibility of hours and shifts, Instacart shoppers and drivers can work as much or as little as they'd like. In-store shoppers who work part-time are allowed to put in a maximum of 29 hours per week making up to $25 an hour.

Once you enter the Postmates workforce, it's simple to transform your passion for driving, bicycling, or walking into a lucrative job. However, before you apply, take your time to weigh your options. You should be sure the job will pay you what you want it to.

The typical Postmates courier earns $11 per hour on average, plus 100% of client gratuities.

Having a flexible side gig you can opt-in and out of whenever you want can be pretty helpful when you need to make something extra on the side.
