I don't know if it still works today, but Forbes says there are some people who make very serious money on fiverr, but they are mostly creative work though (voice over, writing etc). Not sure if it will work for software dev. Also the site is quite established now, so there is some stiff competition for low price.

I signed up for voice over work. I felt kind of silly putting myself out there like that. There's a sea of voice actors on fiverr so I figured I would never get a gig. But after about a week someone bought $25 worth! (I charge $5 for 300 words)

It's funny, that little amount felt more like "real money" than my steady paycheck does.


Have you done voice over before? Also, is it okay to ask if you are a guy or a gal?

I find fiverr super interesting for coming up with creative ideas. Stumbled on this one randomly, which made me smile (even though I have no use for it) - https://www.fiverr.com/irishguy1/create-a-silent-movie-of-yo...


Never have. I'm a guy. Midwestern American accent. But if you look at the buy requests, people are looking for anything but that! Big demand for British female and different languages and bilingual.


Yeah, that is why I asked. I am surprised you are able to sell male voice over, without experience. Kudos!
