Why You Shouldn’t Share Your Exact Fiverr Income



Okay, so I sort of broke this rule but I only gave you a glimpse at what I’ve earned so far. At no point did I let you know how much I had in the Fiverr bank this month—or what was left available for withdrawal.

It’s really important NOT TO SHARE your exact Fiverr income.

But why, especially when you want to make it clear that it’s not a scam?

Opening Yourself Up to Hackers

When you share your exact Fiverr income, you’re telling people how much you have available for withdrawal—or how much will be there within 14 days. It opens you up to being hacked.

People are always looking for easy ways to get their hands on money and one of those is to hack into accounts where sellers make money and then have to wait to withdraw it; or choose to wait until it reaches a certain amount each time.

It’s not just on Fiverr either. You need to watch out for this anywhere.

By sharing your username and exact Fiverr income, you’re telling people:”look at me, look at how much I make”. Others don’t want to do the hard work that you’ve put in so they’ll get your money instead.

But How Do You Prove Fiverr Isn’t a Scam

Like me, you may have something that you want to sell. You may want to promote an eBook or a subscription service to help people make more money on Fiverr.

One affiliate marketing trick is to share exact income to show people the opportunity is legitimate. How do you do that with Fiverr if you can’t share your exact Fiverr income?

Well, no affiliate marketer actually shares their full income. They’ll show you how much they’ve made in the past but chances are that money isn’t sitting in their PayPal account or whatever account they showed anymore. That’s the trick to use with Fiverr. Don’t share the money that you have coming in from withdrawals. Don’t show the money you’ve made this month.

Show the amount that you’ve made since becoming a Fiverr seller. This is a general amount. I did show how much I’ve withdrawn but how much have I spent on gigs to help my business? That you will never know!

Be careful online. There are a lot of unscrupulous people looking to steal your money. If you share your exact Fiverr income, chances are you’ll find your account hacked. Check out the Fiverr Forums for the amount of people who have been hacked in the past…it really does happen. Do you want to lose hundreds, maybe thousands, of dollars?
