very true unless she is working with others. Its not easy, especially editing. I worked at a place where 2 editors had a mental meltdown, because the business owner was too cheap to hire more editors and he worked them day and night (including weekends).
Nothing good is ever easy. But the learning lesson here is that she developed herself in a high quality subject matter expert. By delivering quality product, her rating increased which means her fees could increase - one begets the other. On a separate note, this is one of the better Making It videos I’ve seen in a while.
yeah the problem is that alot of tik tok kids believe everything and drop out of school cause they see an easy way out but in reality, freelancing or etc is not for eveyone, you must be really passionate about it.
Sure, but she just said she only works 40hrs a week. For her, this is easy money, but for anyone else who tries to go down this path, they'd be lucky to make 50k a year working 60 hrs.
People here are talking about her talent, but I see very few people talking about her discipline. The discipline to manage yourself in a non corporate environment where you have no one to answer to and no one to keep you in check, I personally think that is very very commendable. And I also think that is one of the big things that contributed to her success.
@@vija992 She's been at it since 2017, so ~4 years, working 5 days a week is ~1000 days. Given that some of the work she does is editing, writing blog posts, or IG posts, I can easily see her cranking out ~11 of those a day. Not everything is an ebook. And if she's capable of writing 10k word ebooks in 2 days then she's clearly a fast writer.
@@vija992 as you grow u must outsource some work. Even amazon was doing it himself from his garage and later he got people working for him. It is the same thing. She must get other cheaper writers and then edit their work b4 submitting it. If she does it all by herself she will break down
@@ayojoy1443 that's not the point of my comment. Outsourcing is not bad in itself, but not being transparent about your practices is. And she does lots of other questionable things too. I mean, she is praised on this video, and it's CNBC to blame for giving her the spotlight without researching her properly
I wish her continued success! When my husband started his business he worked 18 hour days. He saw clients during the day and did all the quotes/office work at night. Year 1 was $275k. With tremendous discipline it can be done.
She changed my life. I found her on tiktok and started following her advice because I'm a writer myself and I owe a lot to her because her advice came during COVID when I lost my job.
This is a scam. The person commenting is likely part of it. Don't fall for it people. They lure you in and then sell courses. It's an oversaturated market filled with cheap slave labour.
For the average person who enjoys writing, 10,000 words could be done in maybe 6-8 hours. It's primarily proof reading and combing-through the details that takes the most time, usually.
@@JaydenLawson That's assuming you already know the words that will be used. Usually when writing you go through many poses while thinking about which words to use and how to continue your paragraphs. Depending on the topic at hand you could also need some or a lot of research, which takes considerable time.
@@stand4justice4867 sure. Add some research time. I'm just saying, if you're in the zone, and you've trained yourself to get in the zone, it doesn't seem that impossible in that timeframe
Absolutely not. I’m 26 and make over 700k a year. The amount of greed, hate, jealously, and envy that comes with this is disgusting. I am happy to be free but sad that it came at the price of my social life.
As a writer locked up in a corporate job now, this is just so inspiring! There is a way out! Or if not out, then another way! Thanks so much for this!!!
same feeling Man, As teen ager I loved writing through the years and 9-5 Jobs I became exhausted and lost my confidence , now trying to reset and find out if I can do something writing
crazy, with her work ethic she actually might have been a great corporate worker but not have made the money she does now. She basically earns small company CEO/founder money
@@ryansmithc You could have called it a scam when she was starting out, and her clients were calling out the low quality of her deliverables, refusing to re-hire her, and leaving her bad reviews on Fiverr. Obviously that hasn’t happened. She’s churning out a lot of work, because to her clients it’s still very valuable and high quality work. The value of writing deliverables is easily measured. You can’t call it a scam when the data is showing otherwise.
@@ryansmithc Not _really_ a scam. Her profile has ~7000 positive reviews and she charges ~75$ per gig so if you add everything up since 2015 she made about half a million $$. I suppose the number 378K is mostly from her last year on the platform. I am sure that there is quite a fair amount of exaggeration going on in terms of results but it still adds up.
thts what I was thinking, but prob cause quality control is hard especially on fiver with no real contracts. Also if a deadline isnt met then the responsibility is 100% on her cause she was the one hired for her work. anyway she seems to be good at/enjoy her job and management is a completely different job but it does sound like shes trying other things which is good.
Let's not mistake this for something easy that anyone can do to make 15k a month online. Writing is a talent and on top of that, doing anything for anyone else is hard work, doesn't matter how much you love it, you're still not doing it for yourself.
More importantly, she got in on the ground floor of fiver and did the grind for a couple of years. I assume trying to break into her gig now with similar success is probably impossible. Awesome for her but I wouldn't quit my day job. Now she wants to sell her path like the other drop-shipping dude bros which is disappointing.
Writing is not a talent. Like visual arts, it's something anyone can practice and get better at. People tend to give up though, in the learning stages and believe they have no talent for it. I couldn't read or write properly, during ALL my formal education. Teachers plastered my work with red pen, corrections. After leaving school though, I decided to write a book, just for me. I was completely driven, by putting words together. This was just prior to Google search engines, so I used a dictionary and thesaurus. Now everyone I know, asks me how to spell, and proofread their work. Even employed as a Legal Secretary, where words are law. The key really is to be driven enough. Even if you're not doing it for yourself, for the most part, that's where you start.
That’s me. Slaved it out for 15 years in retail. Software engineer now. The last five years of my life have been transformative beyond any reality I grew up with.
Some people can’t see the opportunities there are to earn income and a create a decent living beyond the typical 9-5. Where others see opportunities some see something that’s “impossible” or “won’t work.” The good thing is you don’t need the approval of others to be able to pursue your goals, you need to just believe in yourself, and ultimately take action towards those goals, and have patience and not give up just because you might not see results right away. 👍
Not 100% accurate. You need knowledge, hardwork, and perseverance before and after getting the opportunity. Opportunity in the hands of oblivious people won't work, it works when you know how to use it properly. Key take away: There's no such thing as easy money. What makes it seem easy are your attitudes and feelings towards the work you do.
@@ryansmithc Great someone has the brain to see the lies. Let us do quick math, 378k a year . Assume she works all year long, minus 2 weeks vacation, say 50 weeks, that's $7560 per 40 hour week, ie $189 per hour. Fiverr takes 20% of what the clients pay, so I assume this is her take home, in other words, 80% of what she actual makes. So she makes about $236 an hour , writing ebooks and blogs on Fivrr. Wow! Not too bad... I am sure there are a few doctors and lawyers that will be jealous!
She really shows how much money a hard working, competent, dedicated employee really generates. She keeps all her income instead of helping support deadbeat coworkers and managers.
This comment made me LOL. We've all had them. I had a co worker who showed up late EVERY DAY, I'm talking 20-30 minutes late. He would say, "What did I miss?" and expect me to stop my work to fill him in.
Coworkers are deadbeat because they know working harder does not make you more money. Sheesh. Punch up not down or across. Oh and before you ask, yes I’m that deadbeat coworker. Studies have already proven that working harder for your bosses makes them richer and you burnt out. I don’t burden my coworkers at least. I just do the bare min and clock out.
@@serenesista Being too smart, competent or productive makes employees a threat to supervisors and managers. Complimenting, agreeing, liking their bad taste, telling stupid managers how intelligent or insightful (maybe too big of a word for them) they are will get you bonuses and promoted. Pretending to work is often more important than accomplishing real work. Many bosses will only care how well you treat them.
As a freelancer I doubt her income is the same every year. But yeah, anyone who can write a book in 2 days is an extremely talented individual. Good for her!
@@calvinfan6330 She definitely has a unique talent for doing it, there's no way she'd be paid this much unless there was something very special about her and her abilities. She's lucky she's found a way to harness to do something lucrative, we should all be so lucky.
After doing a little research it became apparent this girl is running a content mill: as many others have noted, the numbers do not, and cannot, add up. She outsources most/all of her writing projects, apparently to non-native-English-speaking writers, according to some of her customers. Her hustle seems to be selling courses to young people who don't know any better.
dumb and naive people who don't know any better buying courses? yeah, that's just a giant Red Flag when some "influencers" have links on their profile to their courses lol. I think one day I'm going to do that too. the easiest way to lure people pay for horseshits.
@@smellypatel5272 nah she really made that from Fiverr. The influencer stuff and course stuff is newer and a great way to scale her business and income.
No, she built a team of like minded people on fiver to help manage her operations and tedious tasks like emails etc so she can focus on the meat and potatoes. This is crucial to being successful in any entrepreneur taking the next step.
@@thatotau7478 Exactly. Before i was ghostwriter for students. I helped to finish their work as well. For good work (with good research & without plagiarism) it takes an hour to write 500-600 words. So 5k for 10 hours, with dinner and stretching it becomes 12-13 hours. It exhausts you mentally, you are always stressed. As u said i dont believe she does all the work all alone. Maybe she started solo first, but now she definitely has network from third world, from India i guess, their service is very cheap, coz they need constant order. For instance even 20% of 1000$ is very big money for them for work of 10k
You forgot the "* results not typical" part. If Fiverr contacted her to do an ad, then she's at the top tier. It's like Michael Jordon come out and tell you he made millions from playing his favorite sport, and you can too. It's 100% true and deceptive at the same time.
It also says, she worked 10-12 hrs 7 days a week (meaning she has no other obligations) & it took 3 yrs. (2016-18), not some overnight success. She also had private clients, plus social media clients, etc. & Fivver controls who can be labeled a PRO & thus charge higher rates! So, this is clearly more of an oddity than a norm! But good on her & more power to her.
@@lifesucksgetoverit5440 you are exactly the type of person she describes in the video. Learn how to do something positive with your life so you aren’t hating on the success of others.
Dayjobs are like being stuck in highschool. Sure you get paid, but now everyone has kids and you no longer hang out. Instead of talking about your dreams and aspirations for the future(most have given up on that) they talk about winning the lottery and gossip about the one still trying to make it. The Matrix was a documentary.
Talent, Work Ethic, Good decisions, Professional Advice ( Accounts, Lawyers), Calculated risk taker equals success. It is rare to find all these qualities in one individual that is why she is a 1 percenter born in the USA. She is an undeniable raging success and deserves all she has. Congrats to her and her family, they must be proud of her.
@@huntstyle It's probably taken her 5 years since she quit her job to get to this point so $100K is actually quite a lot. I'm sure it'll be much more than that over the next 5 years!
@@jtv1110 did you watch the whole vid? She's made $1 million in the last 3 years. But she did say later that she loaned like $280k to her mom to buy a house, and since her mom has paid her back. So she has done a good job at saving, just not a very good job at investing that money, but said she's planning to buy some property there. Sounds like she's planning to pay cash for it, though, which isn't smart. Leverage is your friend!
i admire her discipline. i made Fiverr to see if I can sell my work and within 3 weeks of creating my account i'm slowly beginning to get in orders. i get about 2 a day, pale in comparison to her but tbh, it's a graft. managing your own workload with your personal life, managing the people behind the orders, even though i only get 2 a day (lmao) it's honestly hard. you really have to manage your time and discipline yourself. no where near six figures (yet) but i just quit my day job this morning because i'm breaking even without the hassle or headache of managers and rude customers
Her: Makes money for legit reasons with skill and tries to teach others. Most "entrepreneur" guys: HEY, LET ME SHOW YOU HOW TO MAKE XX,XXX A MONTH, NO SKILL, SPEND NO TIME ETC.
This is GOALS! I recently signed up for Upwork to get into the freelance writer life and immediately doubled my hourly rate with no issues. She's right that you can make a ton of money but that discipline and dedication is another skill all in itself. Super inspiring! Love this.
Upwork is a great platform for writers, I've been earning there for 8 years now. For me, creating a workable system for writing personalized proposals so I don't spend as much time writing proposals (cover letters) as I do actually doing the job was the key to success. I also learned to trust my instincts when it comes to deciding which jobs to take a pass on. I have more than 30 years of professional experience as a journalist, editor, and copywriter, but there were times in the past when I got desperate and took relatively low-paying jobs just to keep earning. I finally stopped settling for anything but "expert" level pay a couple years ago and have had great results. Keep at it, keep expanding your skillset, build a great portfolio (very important!), and you will succeed, too. Best of luck to you🙂
This lady is a writing machine! I never thought writers could make so much! This makes me really happy, even though I'm not a writer by any stretch of imagination. I just think artists deserve more than what they usually get.
She's hustling and getting rich while I'm here watching RUclips videos. All kidding aside, she's got a skill most of the world doesn't have if she's that prolific with her writing.
She's a scammer. Here's why: She used an automatic text generating program + outsourced her Fiverr work to 3rd world writers. This allowed her to knock out projects FAST. Her $350k income figure includes her Shopify store and Course sales. It's NOT from Fiverr alone. It's actually fraudulent to combine multiple forms of income & then claim it's one source in your advertisement. She's opening herself up to an FTC lawsuit. She's not subtracting the amount of money she's paid out to contractors from this income figure. I also suspect she's padding the number a bit. It's a shame she's misleading new writers into thinking they can easily make multiple 6-figures on Fiverr. Hint: you can't.
@@xdtony650? You don't have to trust me.. Believe it if you want or you can research for yourself, and read the reddit pages where her replies are documented.
@@kaberigomes2117 I assume the content is in English - so I doubt 3rd world writers could write something that is in perfect English? Where did you get this information from?
@@SwatiPatelnz You could either find the semantics wrong, and make that a point of judgement for truth . Or understand the context to see the point that i made. She used a Indian writer to write a few projects, as far i as remember from reddit. Now you can argue Indians can't write in 'Perfect English', or isn't a 3rd world country. Or trust the story itself. This thread is old, so i am not going to add any more comments. If you are incredulous, i encourage you to do your research. 👍. And then you'll be satisfied with your conclusion. 💁🏻♂️
the fact that she worked hard and then took out a majority of her savings to help her mother buy a house is amazing. Huge kudos for being so generous and loving and helping your own family.
Maybe it's because I'm not American but Mediterranean, but when she said she "LENT" the money to her mother instead of giving it to her made me go "WHAT?" Every Greek or Italian child making this kind of money would be honoured and happy to gift a house to the parents who made so many sacrifices, (time, money and all the rest) to raise their kids. Of course I realize that not all cultures are the same, so I shouldn't be judging anyone. But it was too jarring, it took me by surprise.
@@irmar Gifting a house to her mom would require her or her mom to pay a substantial gift tax which I think is 40% of the value of the gift. By lending her mom the money with the expectation of receiving it back, neither of them have to pay that gift tax. I'm not saying she did this, but if I were them, I would pretend to loan the money and write out fake 'repayment' agreements in order to avoid that tax.
Keep working hard and smart bro even if it doesn't happen at 28 (it may happen) it will happen within time and it may surprisingly be even greater than you expect ;)
That's 40 pages in 2 days. I don't know anyone who writes and proofreads this fast on a consistent basis, & I know many professional writers. Writing is brain intense. I'd like to see CNBC show more proof with its interviews, including tax information. Also, I'd love to see samples of writing. Does anyone remember their high school or college teacher telling them that writing is easy and then pulling an all nighter to crunch out an average paper? Anyway, buyer beware.

How awesome is this?! I mean I was amazed when I made $1600 in January as a side hustle on Fiverr. Now it has been very quiet... Hopefully I can make more this year 🙌🏼
I was a freelance writer for over 20 years. She's not the typical freelancer because she's writing e-books instead of white papers and case studies or like I did -articles for newspapers and magazines . Im not surprised she's making a lot more money. Frankly, its a lot easier financially to be a freelance writer at least in terms of pay at least it was for me.
@@TheHandleOnRUclips It. depends I wrote for magazines and newspapers and their freelance fees. varied. I was a local/regional freelancer. People who write for national publications likely make more money.

Kaberi Gomes How do you know this? I’m not being accusatory or shady. I’m just genuinely interested in knowing. Especially as someone who enjoys writing and is good at it it just seems impossible that she’s able to write this much so I was skeptical too.
@@tudy3044 Please tell me the time stop where it shows 1 million fiverr balance? Could easily be photoshop.. But let's not even go there. But that still doesn't refute her asking for others writing works that she undertook. Like do you think i wrote all of that out of hatred for a stranger? Read the reddit page, it's pretty detailed. But you know what, believe what you want, go try an and be a writer at fiverr and expect to earn 1 million. If you are really that docile and pliable and amenable, good luck to you.
@weeekly loona elris If you're credulous enough to buy that. Go ahead. There's alot of crypotocurrency and stock market gurus who shows such figures. You should follow them. What do you think is more credible, a PR video where she dresses up and tries to convince you with her earnings figure on a screen(, send me your email and i can show the exact screen with double the figure) Or account of real people interaction with her. I am not saying this out of temerity, or hubris, but you can believe what you want, as for me, i did my own research before having an opinion.
I'm getting into the NFT art stuff. stilll early there and the money is so random. animation is king but I do photoshop which is still ok. the profit margins are soooooo good. even if you sell a digital piece to someone you get 10% when it is resold. so if it goes for 100K someday you get 10K.
If you rent on Airbnb, rent out for a minimum of two weeks to prevent the weekend partiers from ruining your place. I rent out my Florida mobile home for a minimum of a month in a 55+ community. The community insists on doing background checks on all of my renters. It has worked out well thus far.
I'd really love to see the breakdown of the revenue. How much comes from Fiverr projects vs the other things mentioned (online courses and "private clients")? Did she land 1 or 2 big clients and a few small ones? Also, writing is a creative process and an iterative process... I'm curious how she's able to churn out pieces like a factory. Does she specialize in certain topics, thereby avoiding tons of research? Is any of this automated?
I am not her obviously but I am a freelance writer and make around 5k a month, working a maximum of twenty hours a week. Most writers indeed focus on specific topics; I write about medical finance and have a lot of knowledge about this topic which makes research really fast. Most writers specialize in specific topics so they can be referenced as an authority on that topic. Due to my speed I write articles around 1k words in about 1-1.5 hours, which nets me around $150. A lot of it becomes automatic which saves your energy for projects that are actually hard.
This is fake stuff... Let us do quick math, 378k a year . Assume she works all year long, minus 2 weeks vacation, say 50 weeks, that's $7560 per 40 hour week, ie $189 per hour.

so inspiring. i recently quit my job and was considering pitching myself to this company to write their blog posts. i have pushed it off forever but im gonna do it this week!
Ok I love this episode and might be one of my favorites! I love how she took the opportunity to leave her job and find a different and more compatible way to make money. Another inspiration! Only thing I wished they did was show that usual pie chart breakdown as opposed to mentioning what she spends here and there
If she wants to quit Fiverr, and move to teaching. She could also create her own copywriting/content creator company, and have others work for her just for another source of income where she has to put in minimal effort.
It's a nice thought, but it's often not the case. Heaps of people follow their heart and it's not always in an industry people are able or willing to pay you a lot for. I agree with not staying a job that makes you sad, though. Nothing is worth that.
So cool (if it’s true). It’s unlucky tho how hard it is to get into freelancing on fiver. You can’t get jobs until you’ve completed jobs but then can’t complete jobs without getting a job. Congrats to all Americans that started early and made it on the platform.
@@ryansmithc seems like it man. Unless she’s pimping thousands of people over there to work for her there’s no way you can make that much money on Fiverr. Not even sure if their top employees are paid that much.

Congratulations Alex! You obviously worked hard and deserve the rewards for your efforts! It is so sad that there are trolls and haters. That's one of our big societal problems right now. I'm glad you didn't let them get you down!
Definitely she has the talent for it. Smart Choices as well. As a freelancer for over 6 years on fiverr i can say i am doing almost everything she is doing. It’s really amazing to see her story.
Watched this twice as it’s very inspiring/ i like how no shortcuts were given or taken- she works hard and is earning what she feels worthy of - and she helped her mom?! Good humans exist!!!
It's just jelousy and there own personal egos that make them try to put you down. No-one likes seeing someone doing better than they are. Makes them feel less of themselves and inadiquate or a failure. Congratulations on everything you have achieved.
A female who is a BOSS! Worked her way up and making her own money. This is very inspiring and empowering to women. I appreciate this and this is a story I would want my daughter to look up to.
Very happy to hear her mom paid her back. Family is not always this way when one member is the household is very successful. Glad she made it which means we can all make it, just need to find what works with us.
People need to understand her income is not solely from ghost writing on Fiver. She has multiple streams of income as stated in the video, selling courses as well as on Shopify.
This is amazing. She should be so incredibly proud of herself. Watched a video on cnbc recently about people who refuse to pay back their student loans. It was discouraging to see people essentially give up. This could’ve been her but she found an opportunity in the face of adversity. Cheers to all your success.
You sound like such a fool. Student loans are nigh impossible to pay back due to how expensive they are and college is a poverty trap. Working hard at a job usually just means your boss gets richer while your income remains the same.

Let’s not mistake this for easy money. This woman is most likely an excellent writer and an obsessive proofreader.
very true unless she is working with others. Its not easy, especially editing. I worked at a place where 2 editors had a mental meltdown, because the business owner was too cheap to hire more editors and he worked them day and night (including weekends).
Nothing good is ever easy. But the learning lesson here is that she developed herself in a high quality subject matter expert. By delivering quality product, her rating increased which means her fees could increase - one begets the other. On a separate note, this is one of the better Making It videos I’ve seen in a while.
yeah the problem is that alot of tik tok kids believe everything and drop out of school cause they see an easy way out but in reality, freelancing or etc is not for eveyone, you must be really passionate about it.
Yeah this is more like the free market rewarding skill and efficiency
Sure, but she just said she only works 40hrs a week. For her, this is easy money, but for anyone else who tries to go down this path, they'd be lucky to make 50k a year working 60 hrs.
People here are talking about her talent, but I see very few people talking about her discipline. The discipline to manage yourself in a non corporate environment where you have no one to answer to and no one to keep you in check, I personally think that is very very commendable. And I also think that is one of the big things that contributed to her success.
She is fraudulent, google her. She outsources her work. She had completed 11,000 gigs. No way she did it on her own
@@vija992 She's been at it since 2017, so ~4 years, working 5 days a week is ~1000 days. Given that some of the work she does is editing, writing blog posts, or IG posts, I can easily see her cranking out ~11 of those a day. Not everything is an ebook. And if she's capable of writing 10k word ebooks in 2 days then she's clearly a fast writer.
@@vija992 as you grow u must outsource some work. Even amazon was doing it himself from his garage and later he got people working for him. It is the same thing. She must get other cheaper writers and then edit their work b4 submitting it. If she does it all by herself she will break down
Very well said
@@ayojoy1443 that's not the point of my comment. Outsourcing is not bad in itself, but not being transparent about your practices is. And she does lots of other questionable things too. I mean, she is praised on this video, and it's CNBC to blame for giving her the spotlight without researching her properly
she found her niche. she did it. she sounds happy, doing what she loves. she made it.
Yep it's marketing. Do it. Market yo self.
Amen. Enough said
@@ericwood3709 Why are they fake? Where do you get this info about her? I’m curious
She's living the dream doing what you love and making bank
this is fiverr pro ads
I wish her continued success! When my husband started his business he worked 18 hour days. He saw clients during the day and did all the quotes/office work at night. Year 1 was $275k. With tremendous discipline it can be done.
18hr a day? I hope that didn't last too long cause he will be dead in no time.
Lol
Sounds horrible... I hope he's really passionate about this
What business?
what kind of business?
She changed my life. I found her on tiktok and started following her advice because I'm a writer myself and I owe a lot to her because her advice came during COVID when I lost my job.
Are you making a good amount now ?
How are you doing now, Are you getting writing gigs?
Would def be interested to know how it helped. Best of luck!
Awesome!! Are you a freelance writer now? What kind of advice did you follow?!
This is a scam. The person commenting is likely part of it. Don't fall for it people. They lure you in and then sell courses. It's an oversaturated market filled with cheap slave labour.
The thought of writing 10,000 words in two days makes me sad.
She clearly loves her work and has a talent for it.
Facts I always hated writing
For the average person who enjoys writing, 10,000 words could be done in maybe 6-8 hours. It's primarily proof reading and combing-through the details that takes the most time, usually.
If you worked 5 hours a day, that's 16 words a minute. Roughly a word every four seconds. I dunno - seems doable.
@@JaydenLawson That's assuming you already know the words that will be used. Usually when writing you go through many poses while thinking about which words to use and how to continue your paragraphs. Depending on the topic at hand you could also need some or a lot of research, which takes considerable time.
@@stand4justice4867 sure. Add some research time. I'm just saying, if you're in the zone, and you've trained yourself to get in the zone, it doesn't seem that impossible in that timeframe
I think we should normalise talking about money and earnings. I think she’s brilliant, definitely inspiring.
100%
yes because it helps us all to know her earnings and motivates our own intentions to succeed
@@MaryBartnikowski definitely
corporates don't want that, or how else they are gonna manipulate the pay scale of different employees.
Absolutely not. I’m 26 and make over 700k a year. The amount of greed, hate, jealously, and envy that comes with this is disgusting. I am happy to be free but sad that it came at the price of my social life.
As a writer locked up in a corporate job now, this is just so inspiring! There is a way out! Or if not out, then another way! Thanks so much for this!!!
Myra, go for it. You can do it
same feeling Man, As teen ager I loved writing through the years and 9-5 Jobs I became exhausted and lost my confidence , now trying to reset and find out if I can do something writing
Go for it but don't believe anything you see on RUclips also
crazy, with her work ethic she actually might have been a great corporate worker but not have made the money she does now. She basically earns small company CEO/founder money
Except it's all a scam... and she's really trying to sell courses because fiverr is oversaturated with cheap labor. Don't be a sucker
@@ryansmithc You could have called it a scam when she was starting out, and her clients were calling out the low quality of her deliverables, refusing to re-hire her, and leaving her bad reviews on Fiverr.
Obviously that hasn’t happened. She’s churning out a lot of work, because to her clients it’s still very valuable and high quality work.
The value of writing deliverables is easily measured. You can’t call it a scam when the data is showing otherwise.
@@ryansmithc Not _really_ a scam. Her profile has ~7000 positive reviews and she charges ~75$ per gig so if you add everything up since 2015 she made about half a million $$. I suppose the number 378K is mostly from her last year on the platform. I am sure that there is quite a fair amount of exaggeration going on in terms of results but it still adds up.
@@cyberlord64 okay so what's her link?
@@ryansmithc Her Fiverr is Faswaldo.
What if you outsourced your freelance work to other freelancers at a lower cost and then just chilled
thts what I was thinking, but prob cause quality control is hard especially on fiver with no real contracts. Also if a deadline isnt met then the responsibility is 100% on her cause she was the one hired for her work.
anyway she seems to be good at/enjoy her job and management is a completely different job but it does sound like shes trying other things which is good.
legendary comment from the legend himself.
Become a producer
For certain jobs she probably could
People do that
Let's not mistake this for something easy that anyone can do to make 15k a month online. Writing is a talent and on top of that, doing anything for anyone else is hard work, doesn't matter how much you love it, you're still not doing it for yourself.
More importantly, she got in on the ground floor of fiver and did the grind for a couple of years. I assume trying to break into her gig now with similar success is probably impossible. Awesome for her but I wouldn't quit my day job. Now she wants to sell her path like the other drop-shipping dude bros which is disappointing.
@@collin9085 yeah, u could quit your job if u invested smart
True. If I tried this I wouldn't do well creating stories and biographies. My strength would be in editing. Proofreading.
Writing is not a talent. Like visual arts, it's something anyone can practice and get better at. People tend to give up though, in the learning stages and believe they have no talent for it. I couldn't read or write properly, during ALL my formal education. Teachers plastered my work with red pen, corrections. After leaving school though, I decided to write a book, just for me. I was completely driven, by putting words together. This was just prior to Google search engines, so I used a dictionary and thesaurus. Now everyone I know, asks me how to spell, and proofread their work. Even employed as a Legal Secretary, where words are law. The key really is to be driven enough. Even if you're not doing it for yourself, for the most part, that's where you start.
@@Christodophilus Exactly! Writing is a skill, and it gets easier with practice.
I wanna see one featuring an older millenial, born in the 80's, who got a late start but is crushing it now.

Yup
That’s me. Slaved it out for 15 years in retail. Software engineer now. The last five years of my life have been transformative beyond any reality I grew up with.
And my mom said writing would never pay. Turns out all I needed were the right opportunities.
Look into financial copywriting
Except it's all a scam... and she's really trying to sell courses because fiverr is oversaturated with cheap labor. Don't be a sucker
Some people can’t see the opportunities there are to earn income and a create a decent living beyond the typical 9-5. Where others see opportunities some see something that’s “impossible” or “won’t work.” The good thing is you don’t need the approval of others to be able to pursue your goals, you need to just believe in yourself, and ultimately take action towards those goals, and have patience and not give up just because you might not see results right away. 👍
Not 100% accurate. You need knowledge, hardwork, and perseverance before and after getting the opportunity. Opportunity in the hands of oblivious people won't work, it works when you know how to use it properly.
Key take away: There's no such thing as easy money. What makes it seem easy are your attitudes and feelings towards the work you do.
@@ryansmithc Great someone has the brain to see the lies. Let us do quick math, 378k a year . Assume she works all year long, minus 2 weeks vacation, say 50 weeks, that's $7560 per 40 hour week, ie $189 per hour. Fiverr takes 20% of what the clients pay, so I assume this is her take home, in other words, 80% of what she actual makes. So she makes about $236 an hour , writing ebooks and blogs on Fivrr. Wow! Not too bad... I am sure there are a few doctors and lawyers that will be jealous!
She really shows how much money a hard working, competent, dedicated employee really generates. She keeps all her income instead of helping support deadbeat coworkers and managers.
This comment made me LOL. We've all had them. I had a co worker who showed up late EVERY DAY, I'm talking 20-30 minutes late. He would say, "What did I miss?" and expect me to stop my work to fill him in.
Shes not an employee!
Coworkers are deadbeat because they know working harder does not make you more money. Sheesh. Punch up not down or across. Oh and before you ask, yes I’m that deadbeat coworker. Studies have already proven that working harder for your bosses makes them richer and you burnt out. I don’t burden my coworkers at least. I just do the bare min and clock out.
@@serenesista Being too smart, competent or productive makes employees a threat to supervisors and managers. Complimenting, agreeing, liking their bad taste, telling stupid managers how intelligent or insightful (maybe too big of a word for them) they are will get you bonuses and promoted. Pretending to work is often more important than accomplishing real work. Many bosses will only care how well you treat them.
Umm she is NOT an employee, she's an ENTREPRENEUR
As a freelancer I doubt her income is the same every year. But yeah, anyone who can write a book in 2 days is an extremely talented individual. Good for her!
Can the books really that good if its written in 2 days
@@calvinfan6330 Yes! If you're as talented as Alex.
@@jaspherdansalan635 well i guess your right. I just hate writing papers so 10,000 words is dreadful to me.
@@calvinfan6330 She definitely has a unique talent for doing it, there's no way she'd be paid this much unless there was something very special about her and her abilities. She's lucky she's found a way to harness to do something lucrative, we should all be so lucky.
That's true, but even if she's making 100k less for let's say a slow year, that's still a lot of money,
After doing a little research it became apparent this girl is running a content mill: as many others have noted, the numbers do not, and cannot, add up. She outsources most/all of her writing projects, apparently to non-native-English-speaking writers, according to some of her customers. Her hustle seems to be selling courses to young people who don't know any better.
dumb and naive people who don't know any better buying courses? yeah, that's just a giant Red Flag when some "influencers" have links on their profile to their courses lol. I think one day I'm going to do that too. the easiest way to lure people pay for horseshits.
Interesting, thanks
It's kind of hilarious how many losers are worshiping her like she is not making this amount of money through surreptitious methods.
@@smellypatel5272 nah she really made that from Fiverr. The influencer stuff and course stuff is newer and a great way to scale her business and income.
No, she built a team of like minded people on fiver to help manage her operations and tedious tasks like emails etc so she can focus on the meat and potatoes. This is crucial to being successful in any entrepreneur taking the next step.

@@thatotau7478 Where are you getting this info from
@@thatotau7478 Exactly. Before i was ghostwriter for students. I helped to finish their work as well. For good work (with good research & without plagiarism) it takes an hour to write 500-600 words. So 5k for 10 hours, with dinner and stretching it becomes 12-13 hours. It exhausts you mentally, you are always stressed. As u said i dont believe she does all the work all alone. Maybe she started solo first, but now she definitely has network from third world, from India i guess, their service is very cheap, coz they need constant order. For instance even 20% of 1000$ is very big money for them for work of 10k

@@umirakh6802 you used to be a ghost writer? You on LinkedIn?? Let's connect, I wanna ask some questions
You forgot the "* results not typical" part.
If Fiverr contacted her to do an ad, then she's at the top tier. It's like Michael Jordon come out and tell you he made millions from playing his favorite sport, and you can too. It's 100% true and deceptive at the same time.
Well she did say that she started by making 15 a day and slowly rose to be number 2 in their tier. That alone is a feat.
@@irmar I think the fact that it is a feat is Livid Imps point
She literally said she was inducted into a special tier of Fiverr. How much clearer does the video have to be that this isn't typical??
hmm? she's at the top tier NOW. She wasn't before. Rags to riches.
I feel like she wouldn't be able to do this if she wasn't good looking. I don't see her doing this if she was obese.
It also says, she worked 10-12 hrs 7 days a week (meaning she has no other obligations) & it took 3 yrs. (2016-18), not some overnight success. She also had private clients, plus social media clients, etc. & Fivver controls who can be labeled a PRO & thus charge higher rates! So, this is clearly more of an oddity than a norm! But good on her & more power to her.

Upwork is a great platform for writers, I've been earning there for 8 years now. For me, creating a workable system for writing personalized proposals so I don't spend as much time writing proposals (cover letters) as I do actually doing the job was the key to success. I also learned to trust my instincts when it comes to deciding which jobs to take a pass on. I have more than 30 years of professional experience as a journalist, editor, and copywriter, but there were times in the past when I got desperate and took relatively low-paying jobs just to keep earning. I finally stopped settling for anything but "expert" level pay a couple years ago and have had great results. Keep at it, keep expanding your skillset, build a great portfolio (very important!), and you will succeed, too. Best of luck to you🙂
This lady is a writing machine! I never thought writers could make so much! This makes me really happy, even though I'm not a writer by any stretch of imagination. I just think artists deserve more than what they usually get.

What do you think is more credible, a PR video where she dresses up and tries to convince you with her earnings figure on a screen(, send me your email and i can show the exact screen with double the figure)
Or account of real people interaction with her.
I am not saying this out of temerity, or hubris, but you can believe what you want, as for me, i did my own research before having an opinion.
There is so much money out there in this world... You just need to grab it (easier said than done but it`s true). Congrats on your success!
I'm getting into the NFT art stuff. stilll early there and the money is so random. animation is king but I do photoshop which is still ok. the profit margins are soooooo good. even if you sell a digital piece to someone you get 10% when it is resold. so if it goes for 100K someday you get 10K.
Really isn't majority is owned by rich
If there was money out there they wouldn't have to inject money into economy
@@lifesucksgetoverit5440 It`s out there, people just don`t know where nor how to grab it
@@kassimo2169 Bullshii the money is lterally owned. by rich itherwise they wouldnt have to inject money into economy
If you rent on Airbnb, rent out for a minimum of two weeks to prevent the weekend partiers from ruining your place. I rent out my Florida mobile home for a minimum of a month in a 55+ community. The community insists on doing background checks on all of my renters. It has worked out well thus far.
Am happy for her, l haven't even made a cent on Fiveerr for almost a year now and l keep on updating my profile but no luck.
Are you a writer?
one of the amazing souls I have ever known. She spilled out everything about how she gained so much money and doesn't spend too much on herself.
I'd really love to see the breakdown of the revenue. How much comes from Fiverr projects vs the other things mentioned (online courses and "private clients")? Did she land 1 or 2 big clients and a few small ones? Also, writing is a creative process and an iterative process... I'm curious how she's able to churn out pieces like a factory. Does she specialize in certain topics, thereby avoiding tons of research? Is any of this automated?
I doubt it's automated. She works 10+ hours a day. She discusses a range of topics she writes about in the video, ex blog posts, copywriting.
Except it's all a scam... and she's really trying to sell courses because fiverr is oversaturated with cheap labor. Don't be a sucker
I am not her obviously but I am a freelance writer and make around 5k a month, working a maximum of twenty hours a week. Most writers indeed focus on specific topics; I write about medical finance and have a lot of knowledge about this topic which makes research really fast. Most writers specialize in specific topics so they can be referenced as an authority on that topic. Due to my speed I write articles around 1k words in about 1-1.5 hours, which nets me around $150. A lot of it becomes automatic which saves your energy for projects that are actually hard.
This is fake stuff... Let us do quick math, 378k a year . Assume she works all year long, minus 2 weeks vacation, say 50 weeks, that's $7560 per 40 hour week, ie $189 per hour. Fiverr takes 20% of what the clients pay, so I assume this is her take home, in other words, 80% of what she actual makes. So she makes about $236 an hour , writing ebooks and blogs on Fivrr. Wow! Not too bad... I am sure there are a few doctors and lawyers that will be jealous!
She’s definitely not making that much money on fiverr alone. Probably not even half of it but this is an ad for fiverr so they’re not gonna tell you that
The grind is real 🙌 fair play to her! That’s insane
so inspiring. i recently quit my job and was considering pitching myself to this company to write their blog posts. i have pushed it off forever but im gonna do it this week!
Do it!!
GOOD LUCK!
Do it and goodluck!!
Lol
so proud of her
I am a freelance writer. And she is right, it is lots of work. She deserves her income.
Ok I love this episode and might be one of my favorites! I love how she took the opportunity to leave her job and find a different and more compatible way to make money. Another inspiration! Only thing I wished they did was show that usual pie chart breakdown as opposed to mentioning what she spends here and there
To get rich in life, you need to spend less and invest huge, you don't expect to spend 90%, invest 10% and sit to make more wealth.
So correct you need to live well below your mean.
You're right.
This year stock has been difficult to invest
I just sold my stocks looking for for a reliable investment amount to invest Crypto.
I have been making alot through BTC trading which has been the main source of my capital to invest real estate.
If she wants to quit Fiverr, and move to teaching. She could also create her own copywriting/content creator company, and have others work for her just for another source of income where she has to put in minimal effort.
This is just what I needed to watch for Women's History Month. You go girl!
You got it!
👏🏽
Yes!! 🧡🧡🧡
How many months do you need to feed your narcissism
@@jameslave98 be quiet James
She should be investing all that money, she could easily become a multimillionaire by 35 if she did
She needs to buy AMC
@@daveschannel7926 This is the way.
How do you know I'm not lol... this video covers 25% of my daily monetary life.
@@AlexandraFasuloBiz 👍🏻
@@AlexandraFasuloBiz if you keep reading the comments it will drive you up the wall.
Just a quick tip: *Follow your passion and money will follow you*
yep
It's a nice thought, but it's often not the case. Heaps of people follow their heart and it's not always in an industry people are able or willing to pay you a lot for. I agree with not staying a job that makes you sad, though. Nothing is worth that.
Eh
Sure.. On another life or planet.
Yes
She's doing really well at making money but I hope she learns more about investing! Glad to hear she is getting into real estate though.
Hints the expanding into other fields including investing in homes airbnb etc
So cool (if it’s true). It’s unlucky tho how hard it is to get into freelancing on fiver. You can’t get jobs until you’ve completed jobs but then can’t complete jobs without getting a job. Congrats to all Americans that started early and made it on the platform.
Except it's all a scam... and she's really trying to sell courses because fiverr is oversaturated with cheap labor. Don't be a sucker
@@ryansmithc seems like it man. Unless she’s pimping thousands of people over there to work for her there’s no way you can make that much money on Fiverr. Not even sure if their top employees are paid that much.
Go to upwork
@@sonderexpeditions how many sales do you have there? The lowest is $5 and there’s several $5 gigs for every thing
Just thinking about how much Fiverr has made off of her in fees makes my stomach churn. It's good that she's considering going solo.
Right!!!
I guess Fiverr has no operating cost. Instead of appreciating Fiverr for the opportunity they created that helped changed her life and thousands of other freelancers, you are mad because they made some money
onfeetnation They made almost double what she made.
@@natqu123it doesn't matter how much they made. If fiver wasn't here, she's still be making 38k a year. Now she is making 10x that. Why can't we be happy about that but instead we looking for something to be unhappy about
100% Agree. Indeed, I'd expect that divorce to have happened a lot sooner.... Is what people tend to do when it starts going just barely well...
My 3k words essay took me 2 months to finish 😅. You are really amazing x
Alex! Do NOT shut your mouth up! Keep going! You rock!
YES! Literally never mind the haters. You're doing great, they're all living in their mama's basements LOL
Ive used fiverr, people per hour etc for years for web design, they all outsource to india/Pakistan and charge uk/us fees, quality is non existent. Anyone thinking she makes this is being fooled by fiverr promotion, the time/earning doesn't add up. How fast and how many books/blogs can she type, after all she is selling her time not a product.
This vid is fake as... Let us do quick math, 378k a year . Assume she works all year long, minus 2 weeks vacation, say 50 weeks, that's $7560 per 40 hour week, ie $189 per hour.

It's all fake
@@deepfakesforreal9487 Nope. You are just ignorant. Why not go and check out her Fiverr page and then see how much she charges. Then you can calculate what she has in her queue cause it tells you right there. You can also see how much she charges and do your math at a better rate and have actual numbers.
@@deepfakesforreal9487 Yeah, she charges $100-1000 per article and has thousands of reviews. It takes her less than an hour to write most pieces. She also doesn't take two-week vacations if you watch her TikTok, she works 7 days a week, but in the mornings on the weekend. She also works 40-50 hrs per week. You can look at her Fiverr acount, Faswaldo. It checks out.
I don't know who, but someone actually needs to hear this, you've got to stop saving all your money. Venture into investing some, if you really want financial stability
Invest globally in bitcoin, gold, silver, forex market, commodities. Just don't be left out and save yourself
Beautifully said, I tell my folks these words everyday. It's good to save money but most people don't understand the market moves and tend to be misled in facts like this and always depend on money in the bank.
Pure wise comment.
I understand the fact that tomorrow isn't promised to anyone, but investing today is a hard thing to do because i have no idea of how and where to invest in these?
@@ericroth9447 Hey, this is a computer age. Peeps who aren't even traders make money from the crypto and forex markets ,how many millionaires do you know who have become wealthy by investing in savings accounts? I rest my case.
This is so inspiring! I have written press releases, marketing emails, resumes for others, social media posts, etc. FOR FREE! It’s time for me to escape the rat race and use my talent to do it!
At this point she is an expert in her field of work so she needs to just focus on teaching clients/companies and RUclips. She don’t need to do 12hr days 7days a week now. She can double the income she has now by doing RUclips and Teaching. She even verified on IG and solid reputation. Price going up 📈 💰. Congrats to her, well done. 👏
I just want to know what these e-books are about, and where she gets the content. Because researching alone would take me a week, never mind writing it in two days. Do the clients just give her raw notes and ask her to compile?
Good question
Yes I'd like to know too!
Plot twist: she hires other ghostwriters on Fiverr to write them for far less than what she’s paid
I was wondering
@@JevonDS Yes, wouldn't surprise me if she subcontracts it out. Based on the volume of work she has, she can't fit this all into 40 hours.
Badass.
If only my grammar wasn’t trash 😂.
Her speaking is precise and clear and honest. Not a stumble. If she writes like she speaks i can see why she is successful.

I am a writer too! I am finishing a course in writing for children by May of this year. I had four blogger awards nominations in the past two years. My blog is on WordPress. I am excited for you, Alex freelance writing is cool!
I love how this series covers jobs that are "new" to the digital economy (like Fiverr Freelancers or Twitch streamers)!
18 k a monthly that's insane.... I get max 1.5k a month but only started around 6 month ago on upwork. You inspired me to dream more
Have you ever tried Fiverr?
@@tomroblesiii3340 No I didn't. Do u have experience with it?
are you a freelance writer as well?
@@ezradamie2836 Fiverr favors the client so if you ever encounter rude people who try to get you to do the work for free or try to take their payment back from you, Fiverr usually sides with them.
Good for you and great story! I love how you supported your Mom and get to do work you enjoy. Post about your money, life and whatever else you're proud of. Haters are gonna regardless, don't ever dim your light for them.
Congratulations Alex! You obviously worked hard and deserve the rewards for your efforts!
It is so sad that there are trolls and haters. That's one of our big societal problems right now. I'm glad you didn't let them get you down!
FIVERR is not easy money. You must have talent, skill and work hard.
Facts people really think it’s that easy
Definitely she has the talent for it. Smart Choices as well. As a freelancer for over 6 years on fiverr i can say i am doing almost everything she is doing. It’s really amazing to see her story.
Mind sharing a little about your average income?
I am a writer,mind if we interact more
This is why your new job should be the one you WORK FOR YOURSELF! (Remember, that's what your boss is doing). Congratulations Alex!
Nice to see somebody killing it doing what they love, I pray she continues to be successful!
I’m happy she has shared her success. You have to admire her.
yes
time to follow her
speak for yourself im emotionally prepared for it😂😂😂😂
🤣
😂
😂
Right!!😂😂 I’m emotionally, psychologically, spiritually ready
Same..holla!🙌🏼
Alex, you are so well spoken! I really enjoyed your transparency and genuine zest for life. Keep doing you!
Watched this twice as it’s very inspiring/ i like how no shortcuts were given or taken- she works hard and is earning what she feels worthy of - and she helped her mom?! Good humans exist!!!
Well done
Omg my favourite among us music
I'm from Pakistan and really appreciate this lady Allah give her more scuess
Let's get married Sana ;) I'm from the UK
@@zaynumar0 wth fellow pakistanis chill this aint marriage bureau
Who is allah? She doesnt Believe in allah lullah n she is very successful already
She is a high vibrational being!
nope. high energy bs
Kudos to you, Alex! She is brilliant, grounded and has very good money management skills. Keep climbing!
It's just jelousy and there own personal egos that make them try to put you down. No-one likes seeing someone doing better than they are. Makes them feel less of themselves and inadiquate or a failure. Congratulations on everything you have achieved.
A female who is a BOSS! Worked her way up and making her own money. This is very inspiring and empowering to women. I appreciate this and this is a story I would want my daughter to look up to.
loved this! very intelligent woman, this is pure inspiration for anyone putting up excuses to abandon the corporate life.
Very happy to hear her mom paid her back. Family is not always this way when one member is the household is very successful. Glad she made it which means we can all make it, just need to find what works with us.

You inspired me to try to be a voice-over in Fivver because I used to be a voice-over for Ads in China. I thank you so much for this program!
People need to understand her income is not solely from ghost writing on Fiver. She has multiple streams of income as stated in the video, selling courses as well as on Shopify.
Yeah but most of it comes from only fans
This is amazing. She should be so incredibly proud of herself. Watched a video on cnbc recently about people who refuse to pay back their student loans. It was discouraging to see people essentially give up. This could’ve been her but she found an opportunity in the face of adversity. Cheers to all your success.
You sound like such a fool. Student loans are nigh impossible to pay back due to how expensive they are and college is a poverty trap. Working hard at a job usually just means your boss gets richer while your income remains the same.
