I know what you are thinking, Fiverr is a huge waste of time if you are looking to make big money.
However, if you want to make big money online, you are going to need to invest some money as well. Many of us, maybe even you, started with close to nothing to invest. This makes earning a lot of money online difficult. With a little help from a largely populated site (Fiverr.com), you can get some great startup capital to fund your future projects.
Making $50 a day is definitely possible with less than 1 hour of work each and every day through Fiverr. I have used this method for over a year to make money just to cover the cost of my articles that I am working on for my Adsense Journey. So without wasting your time, let’s jump right into it.
Making Money on Fiverr – The Blackhat Way
Before I lay out the exact method, you may need to lay your ethics aside because this is in a bit of a grey area. When I say that this is a blackhat method, I really do mean that. If you are the kind of person who wants to be completely honest to your clients, feel free to disclose what you are doing to the Fiverr buyers who will purchase your gig. This may net you less orders overall, but at least your conscience can be clean.
I would suggest that if you are just doing this for some startup capital, to not disclose the exact method and get as many orders as possible.
The basis of this method is to “write” articles that are “unique”. If you have ever bought articles from Fiverr, you know just how many gigs there are claiming that they will write you a unique article in such and such amount of time. I have been asked before why you would want to go into this writing niche if so many others are doing it, aka saturated. By using this method, you are going to be able to give clients unique articles which only take a few minutes of your time. Because of this, you will be able to provide more articles than your competition giving you a more competitive edge.
The Unique Article Method
- Put up a high quality Fiverr gig offering unique articles
- Offer some add-ons for your gig
- Take a script to encode articles already on the internet
- Zip all the files up and send them to your client
By now you may have been able to spot what is blackhat about this method. People generally go to Fiverr to grab articles that are unique so that search engines such as Google crawl them, index them, and hopefully send visitors from the SERPs.
This method is going to take an article from the internet, encode that article, and then send them back. The article that you encode will be the exact same original article that you found online, but to tools such as Copyscape, they will look 100% unique, without finding any copies.
The computer will show these articles as unique, but in reality, they will look and read like gibberish. To the human eye, they read perfectly. These articles do not help with SEO and are in fact close to worthless now days. This is the exact reason that it is considered blackhat but if you are open to your clients, I see no reason why you should not do this. You need startup money from somewhere right? This is a fast way to get some.
Details of the Method
- You will need to find some high quality articles that have good English and read well. The best place I have found are quality article directories such as Ezine Articles. After you get an order, go on over to Ezine and type in the keywords they want you to use. Select a nice article that is a decent length on their topic.
- Check the Complex and Dictionary check boxes on the left hand side. These options will encode all the words of the article except for long keywords. This means that some keywords in the article will not be gibberish to search engines and can be understood.
- Go to the bottom of the page and click on the blue Rewrite button. Congrats! You have just encoded the text of the article. On the right hand side of the screen under Output Text, you should see a lot of red underlines. This means that those words have been encoded and are not being understood by your browser, but will look EXACTLY the same as the article that you copied and pasted.
- Next, copy the Output Text in the right side column and open up a file in notepad. I like to use notepad because you can save .txt files and will not show the red underlines in the file so your clients do not ask you questions. Paste the text in the notepad.
- You are going to need to save the files before you can zip them up and hand them over to the client. Look at what I have posted in the pictures below to see what to do. When you go to save the article, you will see what the first picture is showing you. The encoding is automatically set to ANSI. What you want to do is chance the encoding box to Unicode and then save it.
Once you have all the articles ready that your client ordered, put them in one zip file and send them off and deliver the gig.
I usually offer 2 articles for 1 Fiverr gig, and then offer a gig extra to provide 5 articles total for 2 gigs. This gives people 1 extra article, and does not really take up any more of your time.
The average order is generally in the area of $15 and should not take any longer than 5 minutes to finish the work. Go out and make some startup money, but remember, keep it ethical, and inform people what you are doing. Everyone wants a clean conscious right?
Authors Note: I published this method way back in July on Pagerankworld.com. I thought that my readers may want to see it here, so here it is.
thank you for posting this great method but how do you promote the gigs or ranking high in fiverr search?
Hi Markus! I usually just create a Fiverr gig with a similar description to the gig that is already ranking and make my offer so sweat that someone just can not refuse to get mine over theirs. If you want to rank it, get a few friends to buy your gig and leave some positive reviews. It only ends up costing you a dollar and helps rank you in Fiverr!
Fivver is a tricky thing. I’ve had people tell me it’s a waste of time and it kind of is until you put together an offer people like. Once you crack the proverbial code it can turn into a nice little income where you can begin charging extra for priority service or next day delivery. I had a friend who would paint your logo and you could use that as a video intro. Turn around was over a week at 5 dollars, but if you wanted it done next day, 50 dollars. Just takes a lot of work figuring out what people want like anything else.
Nice tutorial to earn money using fiverr , I am a article rewriter it definitely use to me
Nice share.
I think it’s also important to note Gig extras and how they could come into play with this method. You make a measly $4 on Fiverr, if you can increase the average price of your Gigs, you’ll in turn increase your hourly rate on Fiverr, which is key.
Anyway, great post!

Thanks for this wonderful method, Neil. I opened a gig offering three articles, put on some compelling copy in the description, and got some 10 reviews through fiverr review exchanges. Earned $80 already and reached Level 1!
How do you suggest I move on from here? Should I keep getting lots and lots of reviews from review exchanges? Currently I’m earning about $5/day, but how do I increase it? Will more reviews increase the number of sales by a huge factor? I have also opened a separate similar gig and earned about $20 from that (after getting a couple of reviews).
Please do give me your advice. 🙂
Excellent! I am glad you are earning money from this (easy isn’t it?)
If you are getting about an order a day, I would stop getting fake reviews from exchanges and start putting something in your reply when you deliver the gig such as (If you could leave a review, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!”. I have a few gigs where I do this and I get about 90% reviews from people I deliver to.
If you are looking to scale it up, you can either create more gigs, or what I do is simply include gig extras that are irresistible. If I offer 2 articles for 5 dollars, I may offer 5 articles for 10. You get the idea. This increased the average purchase by a lot.
Let me know how it goes,
Neil
Two accounts. Currently making $300 per month with this method. Really helps to fund my SEO projects such as VPS costs, captcha costs, etc. But I do feel a little bit guilty, especially with all the repeat buyers telling me how good my articles are. Hopefully I get some good income in SEO and don’t have to do this much longer. 😛
The website for the encoder seems to be down. Are you also experiencing this? Has the encoder died?
Sorry to get back to you a day late! I just checked and it seems to be up and running. Give it another try and let me know if it works for you.
So practically im seeling articels which got written by someone else and Im manipulating them so you cant track them back via google or other search engines ?
I think i’ll stick to your 100 $ / day Adsense guide sounds better and more ethical to me 🙂
That is essentially correct. If you want to be ethical about it, just let the people know upfront what you are doing. I do not do this anymore, was just a way to get some startup money.
You mean telling them I use some tools to encode several words and sending them exact copies ?
What use do they have for this kind of articles ? If their prof. typing in a sentence in those articels wouldn’t he find the original data?
Thanks for your reply by the way!
That would never work. This method seems like just another “method” to make money online, but the truth is that you are cheating people. You are adding absolutely NO value to the world, and you are exploiting REAL people’s gullibility for cash.
Sorry, but that’s the truth of it. You can try it for initial capital, but please abandon it after you have earned the cash you need or have stabilized another income method. I also started using this method, but have now abandoned it after finding more ethical ways to make money online.
Honestly i won’t even start this method since it’s a scam.
Rough said but it is. Thats why I asked the previous question about the backtracking of the articels.
How do you earn money online now ?
Yes, the encoded words look like the exact same article so they are essentially copies. I really do not know what kind of use they would have for them. Perhaps filler content on a website without getting a duplicate content penalty? When people check a sentence of the article in google, nothing will return back because they are encoded and the original data is not.
As for now, I am doing a lot of different things. Many affiliate websites, few authority sites, couple apps, selling on ebay and Amazon… the list goes on!
So did you successfully sell articels with this method WHILE telling the people that you’re more or less just copying articels ?
No I meant if someone TYPES sentences by himself and search for them in google.. It should exactly return the articel you copied since you wrote it by yourself and didnt copy+paste the encoded articel.
Did you try the 100$ / day adsense guy as well ? How did it workout ? Was it hard to get into it ?
I kinda feel lost since this is a completly unknown water for me. Any basic tips you could give me to learn/understand some basics in SEO and affiliate websites etc. ?
Sry for the wall of text, hope you find time to answer each question ! 🙂
Awaiting your respond Neil
Sorry about that, I thought I responded. If they were to manually type out the sentences in google, yes they would show up. As for the 100 dollar a day adsense guide, yes it works. My adsense site did alright for a while, but I have moved on to more affiliate based sites. In that article near the bottom is a good beginning SEO guide just to help you out. Also google “Moz SEO guide” and they have a great beginning guide as well. If you are interested in starting an Amazon affiliate site (which is a lot of what I do now), I am thinking about putting together a long guide from beginning to end on how to set one up. Let me know if this interests you!
So you openly told them what you do and they still bought your articels ?
If so, i will definitly try this to get my first 100 $ to pay for domains/hosts/articels and so on!
Wow! Moz SEO guide looks damn good!
Will definitly read throu this now !
Amazon affiliate site ? Meaning sharing links and getting paid some % if someone buys the product right ?
Seems pretty interesting! I wouldnt mind if you put such an articel up, it will surely help a lot of people !
For me i’ll try to set up a site now as soon as possible, but Im still not sure which niche i should get into because picking niches you’re not interested in won’t work on the long term i guess !
Also i’ve to read throu the 100$ adsense guide more often since english isn’t my native language and understanding some keywords in a completly new environment aka internet marketing is crucial to fully complete every single step !
Thanks for all the informations Neil, you’re really helping me to get started !! 🙂
Yep, I do not do the articles anymore, but it was working great when I was.
And yes, the amazon sites I do are mostly review sites where I link to products on amazon and get a % for each item sold.
Keep researching and then take action! All the best.
Hi thanks for sharing this information….
To be honest, I am now a bit worried about buying written articles for my website…
How can I check if these articles are handwritten and unique? They might have done the same encoding as you described and I won´t be able to check this in copyscape etc?
Any suggestion ?
You can always check on copyscape first. However, when you get the article off fiver, copy and paste it into a word document. If there are red lines EVERYWHERE, it has been encoded. If not, you are good to post it.
Thanks Neil, I tried to encode multiple articles now from Ezine Articles but NOTHING is underlined red after I press rewrite, I checked complex and dictionary boxes as in your instructions….
So you said the red underline words are the ones that have been encoded but I don´t have a single one… and I tried it with a lot of articles …. has something changed with that spinner softwarte? what am I doing wrong ?
After you press rewrite, copy and paste the output text into a word document and you should see all the red underlines. I just checked it and it seems to be working just fine.
