So you want to offer online marketing gigs for $5

But what gigs should you offer to generate the most revenue? While reporting expected earnings per category has its merits, it's time to run some comparative analytics to see which types of gigs have the most promise in the online marketing category.


In terms of demand, SEO gigs are the clear winner. The graph above shows the number of placed orders for different Fiverr online marketing categories as of 5/26/2015. SEO gigs dominate the demand with a whopping 2791 orders compared to only 52 in the domain research category. After SEO gigs, the next best-selling gigs are related to articles and PR submission (708 orders).

If you want to set your hopes high, it might be worth looking at the top sellers in these categories. On average, the top 10 SEO sellers make $130.77 per day, with earnings ranging anywhere between $9.48 and $280 per day, so there's quite a bit of variability there - and these are the top sellers. In the article writing category, average earnings for top sellers are at about half what SEO sellers make ($62.74 per day) and range between $25.83 and $86.67 per day.

But if you're not a top seller, you can set more realistic expectations based on your seller rating:

If you're a new seller:

• SEO: $3.05 per day
• Web Analytics: $3.14 per day
• Article Submission: $5 per day
• Blog mentions: $ 2.67
• Domain search: $3.75
