Hey guys,
I have been using Fiverr in the past few weeks and months to try and achieve some extra money. I have had a few sales but nothing great, so I was just wondering how many people here use sites like Fiverr etc as a way of generating money and how successful you have been?
From my experience, I didn't like having the price for my work already determined, it felt like I was slaving away and trying to go above and beyond to be competitive just for $5, well $4 when they take theri 20% cut. As Fiverr is so saturated, my gigs quickly became lost.
Any thoughts or experiences you want to share with these sites?

I am in 2 minds about such sites, I joined Fiverr many years ago as a space filler and to relieve boredom when I was asked to do the same sort of work by numerous clients, but as you say IT IS Slave Labour.
However a friend of mine has had a great success with Fiverr, and has encouraged me to return, which I did a few weeks ago. I guess it depends on your personal views and what your specialised field is.I know deep down, I am going to leave again, as it just does not sit right with me, I am not comfortable with the site and what it stands for at all.
