THE CULTURE OF FIVERR Fiverr isn’t a site like eBay, Craigslist, Kijiji, Elance or anything else. Yeah, I know it’s a $5 marketplace and that is Fiverr’s gimmick. But let me get into a theory of mine really quickly. I think Fiverr has invented a new kind of website and marketplace. I think it’s a trend that will really grow and we will start to see many more sites like this, perhaps even see a site like Kijiji go this way. Fiverr is what I like to call a “social marketplace”. It’s more personal and community-like than say a site like Kijiji or even Elance. People put their faces on their gigs. Their brand is themselves. Why’s this important or why should you care? Well, I dive into this a bit in my e-book but if you treat Fiverr like just a marketplace or another freelancing website, you may not fulfill your true earning potential. You can’t be faceless on Fiverr; you need a little bit of personality. This is not going to make or break your success on Fiverr but Fiverr does have its’ own unique style and culture. It is just something important to consider.
