"How I Made My First $200 Online Offering Services I Didn’t Even Know I Could Sell"

When I first heard that people were making money online, I thought it was all hype.

“Click here to earn $500/day!”
“Earn $100 by just watching videos!”

Most of it looked fake, like scams designed to trap people desperate to make quick cash. I ignored it for a long time — until I hit rock bottom.

📉 The Turning Point

It was June 2023. I had just lost my part-time job, had no income, and bills were piling up. I had no technical skill. No degree. No support.

I remember searching on YouTube, “How to make money online without skills.” One video caught my attention:
"5 Easy Fiverr Gigs You Can Start Without Skills.”

I clicked, not expecting much. But the video showed simple services people were offering on Fiverr — background removal from photos, writing basic testimonials, typing handwritten notes, even reading scripts in your native accent.

I thought: "I can actually do this."

🛠️ Getting Started with Zero Skills

That same night, I created my Fiverr account. I spent hours setting it up properly. Here’s what I did:

Chose a clean profile picture (just me smiling).

Wrote a simple bio: "I love helping people with quick tasks. Fast, friendly, and reliable!"

Published 3 basic gigs:

1. “I will remove background from 10 images.”


2. “I will write a positive testimonial/review.”


3. “I will type your handwritten notes.”




I used free tools like remove.bg (for image work) and Google Docs (for typing).

🔔 My First Order

Nothing happened for 3 days. I kept refreshing my dashboard, praying for a notification.

Then on Day 4, it finally came:
“You received a new order.”

$5 to remove backgrounds from 20 images.

I got to work immediately. Used remove.bg, checked each image twice, and delivered within 3 hours.

The client gave me 5 stars and said:
“Super fast and clean job. Will order again!”

That message was worth more than $5. It was validation. It was hope.

💡 Scaling Smartly

After that, I learned to package my gigs better:

$5 for 10 images

$10 for 30 images

$25 for 100 images


I also added extra services like:

White background replacement

Cropping/resizing

Fast delivery ($5 extra)


I wasn’t doing heavy work — just smart packaging.

Over the next 3 weeks, I completed 14 orders, made $207, and got 100% positive reviews.

📊 My Fiverr Strategy (No-Skill Needed):

Here’s what I recommend to anyone who wants to do this:

1. Pick 2–3 simple services (like image editing, writing short texts, file conversions).


2. Use free tools:

remove.bg (for image)

ChatGPT (for writing help 😉)

Canva (for basic design)

Google Docs (for formatting)



3. Focus on fast delivery — most clients love speed.


4. Write friendly messages — communication matters more than your work sometimes.


5. Promote your gigs in Facebook groups, Reddit, or even WhatsApp status.

💬 Lessons I Learned

You don’t need expert skills to start earning — just creativity and commitment.

Fiverr is a long game. Don’t expect $500 in week one. But even $5 can be your fuel.

Customer satisfaction > quantity. One good client can become a regular.

Presentation matters: your gig image, title, and description are your “shop front.”

💰 What Happened Next?

I didn’t become a millionaire. But I did cross $500 within 3 months. I reinvested some of it in learning Canva and ChatGPT prompt writing — and added new services.

Today, I offer:

Pinterest Pin designing

Resume rewriting

Simple product descriptions


All of them I learned after I started. Fiverr gave me income and confidence.

🌍 Who Can Do This?

Anyone.
If you have a smartphone or laptop and basic English, you can start. No degree, no connections — just real effort.
