My Journey to Becoming a Level 2 Fiverr Seller with 600+ Orders
How I built a successful freelancing career on Fiverr, completing over 600 orders with a 5-star rating while balancing studies and other ventures.
My Journey to Becoming a Level 2 Fiverr Seller
Reaching Level 2 Seller status on Fiverr with over 600 completed orders and maintaining a 5-star rating didn't happen overnight. Here's my story and the lessons I learned along the way.
The Beginning
I started on Fiverr in 2021, offering Discord bot development services. At first, orders were slow, and I questioned whether freelancing was right for me. But persistence paid off.
First Month Stats
- Orders: 3
- Revenue: $45
- Rating: 5.0 (but only 3 reviews)
Fast forward to today, and those numbers look completely different.
What I Offer
My services have evolved over time:
- Discord Bot Development - Custom bots for communities
- FiveM Server Development - Complete server setups and custom scripts
- Web Development - Full-stack applications
- Automation Scripts - Python and Node.js solutions
Keys to Success
1. Over-Deliver Always
My philosophy is simple: always give more than expected.
Client expects: Basic Discord bot
I deliver: Feature-rich bot + documentation + 30-day support
This approach turned one-time buyers into repeat customers.
2. Communication is Everything
- Respond within 1-2 hours
- Set clear expectations upfront
- Provide regular progress updates
- Never leave a client wondering
3. Build Your Expertise
I focused on becoming the go-to person for:
- Discord development
- FiveM scripting
- Bot automation
Specialization helped me stand out in a crowded marketplace.
Challenges I Faced
Difficult Clients
Not every client is easy to work with. I learned to:
- Document everything in writing
- Set boundaries professionally
- Know when to decline projects
Time Management
Balancing Fiverr with:
- University studies (CS at KDU)
- Running Legit Store LK
- Co-founding AMCone.net
- Personal projects
Required strict scheduling and sometimes sacrificing sleep.
Burnout
Working 16-hour days isn't sustainable. I learned to:
- Take breaks when needed
- Raise prices to reduce volume
- Outsource when possible
Tips for New Sellers
If you're starting on Fiverr, here's my advice:
- Start with competitive pricing - Build reviews first
- Create detailed gig descriptions - Include FAQs
- Use professional thumbnails - First impressions matter
- Offer packages - Give clients options
- Request reviews - Don't be shy about it
Revenue Growth
| Year | Orders | Revenue | Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 50 | $2,000 | New Seller |
| 2022 | 200 | $12,000 | Level 1 |
| 2023 | 250 | $20,000 | Level 2 |
| 2024 | 150+ | $18,000+ | Level 2 |
What's Next
Fiverr has been an incredible platform for building my career, but it's just one piece of my journey. I'm now focusing on:
- Building my own products
- Expanding Legit Store LK
- Growing AMCone.net
- Creating passive income streams
Conclusion
Success on Fiverr (or any freelancing platform) comes down to:
"Treat every order like it's your most important one."
Whether it's a $10 quick task or a $500 project, the quality should never change. That's how you build a reputation that speaks for itself.
