Register on Fiverr

Before going into the details of this guide and explaining how Fiverr works, let me explain how to create an account to access the service. Registering on Fiverr is a procedure that can be carried out both from a computer and from smartphones and tablets, by downloading the application for Android and iOS devices. 

If you want to create your account on Fiverr from a computer, connected to the official website of the service, click on the Join item at the top right and choose whether to register using your Facebook account, your Google account or via email. In the first two cases, press the Continue as [name] or Continue with Google button, otherwise enter your email address in the Enter your email field and press the Continue button. 

In the new screen displayed, enter the username and password (must contain at least 8 characters, including an uppercase letter, a lowercase letter and a number) to be associated with your account in the Choose a username and Choose a password fields and press the Join button . Now, log into your inbox, open the email received from Fiverr and click the Active your account button to activate your account and complete the registration.

If, on the other hand, you prefer to register with Fiverr using the service application, start the latter by tapping on its icon (the word Fiver white on a green background) on the home screen of your device. Then press on the Next and Join items and, in the new screen displayed, tap the Connect with Facebook button to create an account by connecting your Facebook profile, the Connect with Google button to register using your Google account or the Sign up button with email for the classic email registration.

In the latter case, enter your email address in the Enter your email field, specify a username and password to access Fiverr in the Choose a username and Choose a password fields and press the Sign up button. Within a few moments you will receive an email from Fiverr: press the Active your account button contained within it to activate your account.

Buy a service on Fiverr

If you intend to purchase a service on Fiverr (called Gig), all you have to do is connect to the main page of the platform, log into your account, locate the service of your interest and complete the purchase.

To proceed, connect to the main page of Fiverr and, if you have not already done so, click on the Sign in button at the top right to access your account. In the new page opened, select the category of the service you need, choosing one of the available options among Graphics & Design, Digital Marketing, Writing & Translation, Video & Animation, SEO, Web Traffic, then choose a sub-category from those displayed on the screen and identify the Gig that you think best suits your needs. Alternatively, enter the keywords related to the service of your interest in the Find service search field (located at the top left) and press the Search button.

To understand better, let’s take a practical example: if you have a text in Italian and you need to translate it into English, click on the Writing & Translation category and choose the Translation sub-category in the left sidebar. In the new page opened, select the Italian option in the Translate from field and the English option in the Translate to field to view the available Gig.

In addition, through the Delivery Time and Price range options, you can further filter the offers available based on delivery time and price. Once you have identified the Gig of your interest, click on its name to view the description, the reviews of other users, the related Gig and the available purchase packages. Among the factors to be taken into consideration, there are also revisions that allow the buyer to ask the seller to make changes if the service received does not fully satisfy his needs. In case of doubts, you also have the possibility to contact the seller by pressing the Contact me button and entering your request in the appropriate field.

Once you have identified the Gig that best suits your needs and the package of your interest, press the Continue and Order now buttons, choose the payment method you prefer between credit card (MasterCard, Visa, Discover) and PayPal, enter the data and press the Confirm and Pay button.

It will be useful to know that your payment will not be credited immediately to the seller’s account: the transaction will be successful only if the latter accepts the order and completes it within the established time. Once the seller has done the work, you will see a notification on the Messages item (indicating that there is a new message) and you will be able to view the final result.

If, on the other hand, you have not identified any Gig that meets your needs or you do not want to waste time searching, you should know that you can publish yourself a request for the service you are looking for. To do this, connect to the main page of Fiverr and, after logging into your account, press the Post a request button.

In the new open page, enter your request in the Looking for field, specify the category of your request using the drop-down menu under the item Choose a category and specify the time you are willing to wait for the delivery of the order, by selecting a options available between 24 Hours, 3 Days, 7 Days and Other. Finally, if you wish, specify your budget in the What is your budget for this service? Field. and presses the Post button to publish your request. As soon as a seller is interested in doing your work, you will receive a notification and you can get in touch with the user in question.

As mentioned above, if the service received is not to your liking, you can ask the seller to review the work by also suggesting the changes to be made by pressing the Request revision button. If not, press the Accept & review order button to access the complete work, download any files and leave the review to the seller. Finally, if you are wondering what happens in cases of problems with the order, you will be relieved to know that there is the possibility of opening a dispute: Fiverr will take on the role of mediator to try to resolve the problem.

The procedure for purchasing a Gig from smartphones and tablets using the Fiverr app is almost identical to that described above for computers. After starting the service app, tap on the More item in the bottom menu, press the Sign In option twice in a row, enter your login details in the Enter your email or username and Enter your password fields and presses the Continue button. Now, tap on the Home item and enter the service you are looking for in the What are you looking for? Field. Alternatively, press the icon of the four squares at the top right, select one of the available categories and tap on the name of the Gig of your interest, then press the Order [price] button twice in a row and then the Pay now button. Then choose the payment method you prefer, press the Continue button and you’re done.
