Fiverr is an online marketplace that hosts thousands of gigs, which are defined as “short-term task or project assignments.” These gigs usually range from design work to programming tasks.

Many beginner designers are ready to try everything during their career beginning. It seems that the beginning is pretty hard, so everything works as a start. Is this thinking right?

Why you might consider Fiverr? Because it’s easy to start. All you need to do is to register, post your gigs, and wait for your orders which should come pretty fast.

Isn’t it perfect for starters? Especially with the powerful marketing campaign that Fiverr does on social media, it assures you that success is very close. You will earn thousands of dollars.

In the reality, only a few people from thousands earn huge money on Fiverr. Most freelancers compete for every $5 gig. There are more possible issues with using Fiverr as your go-to source for UX/UI design work that you should know.

Fiverr Doesn’t Guarantee Quality

Fiverr is a popular platform for freelancers and small businesses to find work.
