Is it possible to earn $1,000 on Fiverr within a month? What services could I provide to reach that goal? If there’s something I can learn to offer a service that allows me to earn $1,000 a month, what would it be? Are there any alternatives or other platforms?
If there was a clear path that guarantees earning $1k, everyone would follow it. You can earn that money through coding or translation, but what’s crucial is how you differentiate yourself from others offering the same services.

I work full-time and earn well. I tried Upwork, applied to thousands of jobs, and received zero responses. On freelance platforms, many people have work experience. The key is showcasing your skills to attract customers.
It’s better if you mention your skill/service here. Earning $1k on Fiverr is possible, and you might even secure some long-term clients. I know someone who landed a client from one ad post and now earns $2k per month from just that one client.

Marketing could cost that and more.

Who is he scamming, or how many hours does he work then? 
As mentioned, if you are a programmer, you could earn that in a week. With cold calling, you might make $1k in a month, but it could require full-time work, especially if you’re inexperienced.

I’m new to freelancing; I’m currently a software engineering student. How do I get clients on these freelance platforms?
@Arun
On Upwork, it’s as simple as making a profile, applying for open jobs, or waiting for recruiters to reach out.

What do you mean by cold calling?
@Ray
You could be a cold caller. It usually pays minimum wage, but it’s possible to earn more.
To earn $1k on Fiverr, you need to be a professional who has transitioned onto the platform. Many sellers fall into distinct categories:
- The top sellers earning thousands per month.
- Sellers from countries with lower costs where they provide services for significantly less.
- Sellers with little to no gigs despite having skills.
- Those with an established client base who might still be struggling.
- Newcomers who struggle to gain traction and often quit.
There’s money to be made in freelancing depending on your skills and portfolio, but for newcomers on Fiverr? It might not be worth the time.

Absolutely. Sites like Fiverr have devalued quality work by allowing very cheap labor in, which is detrimental to the creative industries.

It’s the same with copywriting. Most now think ChatGPT will solve everything, but they don’t realize the output can be lacking depth and originality.
Yes, it’s possible! Learning graphic design and social media marketing can set you on the right path. You should take courses on social media strategy, learn about Facebook/Instagram ads, and how to grow audiences organically. Upwork is an alternative. Success will require effort, consistency, and effective promotion of your services. Build up your profile and gather reviews.
Programming can help you achieve that, but competition is fierce.
