Fiverr’s pretty much the go-to spot these days if you’re a freelancer—especially if you’re green and just dipping your toes into the online hustle. Here’s the kicker: you don’t need to be some coding wizard or design prodigy to make bank. Loads of gigs just need a bit of creativity, a sprinkle of basic skills, and, honestly, the ability to show up and get stuff done. If you’re eyeing up Fiverr for 2025, here’s my personal take on the best gigs even total newbies can kick off right now.
1. Background Removal & Photo Editing
Seriously, EVERYONE wants clean product pics—shops, influencers, random Etsy folks. If you know your way around Canva, Photopea, or even just basic Photoshop, you’re golden. Stuff you can offer:- Making messy backgrounds disappear
- Swapping out backgrounds for white, transparent, or whatever the client wants
- Some light retouching or tweaking colors
2. Social Media Post Design
Let’s be real—businesses can’t survive without Insta, Facebook, TikTok posts. You don’t need to be the next Picasso. Canva’s got your back with templates. Here’s what you can pitch:- Insta quotes, memes, whatever’s trending
- Promo banners for businesses
- YouTube thumbnails that actually get clicks
3. Data Entry & Virtual Assistance
If you’re the type who gets weirdly satisfied ticking off to-do lists, this one’s for you. Typical gigs:- Copy-pasting stuff (yes, people pay for that)
- Switching PDFs to Word or Excel
- Digging up things online
- Keeping emails under control
4. Resume & CV Writing
Writing resumes is like pulling teeth for most people. If you can use Word or Canva and write a coherent sentence, you’re in business. Services?- Formatting resumes/CVs so they don’t look like a hot mess
- Cover letters that don’t suck
- Polishing up LinkedIn profiles
5. Simple Video Editing
Video is the king now and probably won’t lose the crown anytime soon. Even basic skills with CapCut or Filmora can land you work like:- Editing TikTok and Insta reels
- Trimming YouTube intros/outros
- Slapping on text, subtitles, or quick transitions
💡 Keep your delivery fast—24 to 48 hours, tops. Small creators want things YESTERDAY.
6. Translation & Transcription
Are you bilingual? Jackpot. People need:- Docs translated (Nepali + English? You’re rare gold)
- Subtitles for videos
- Audio files turned into text
7. Simple Website Setup (WordPress)
If you can handle WordPress basics, you’re already ahead of most. What you can do:- Get WordPress up and running on someone’s hosting
- Install a nice theme
- Add essentials like plugins or contact forms
How to Not Flop as a Fiverr Newbie
- Don’t try to do everything. Pick one or two things and get REALLY good at them.
- Use clear, keyword-packed gig titles. Like, “I’ll design killer Instagram posts for your brand.”
- Make your gig thumbnail pop—half the battle is just getting clicked.
- Deliver fast, communicate like a human, and be reliable. Repeat customers keep you afloat.
- Show up daily. Update your profile. Don’t ghost.
