You can make a killing off of reselling services without working yourself.
It may shock you to learn that some of those who make enough from Fiverr to support themselves have gained a large part of their income from Flipping Fiverr gigs.
In this guide, I’m going to fill you in on all you need to know to start this business, whether you’re a freelancer or not.

First off, What is Reselling?
Reselling Fiverr gigs can also be known as “Fiverr arbitrage.” It can also be referred to as Drop servicing.
That is, you sell gigs from Fiverr to a buyer on another platform and then pay the freelancer who does the work their share while taking what remains as your profit.
This is in line with retail arbitrage, where people take items they didn’t make, advertise, and sell them.
Then they pay the item maker their money and keep the remainder as profit.
Is Reselling Allowed on Fiverr?
There’s no rule that says you can’t resell your Fiverr gigs.
Fiverr’s TOS claims you have complete ownership of every service you purchase on Fiverr and can do with it whatever you please.
Now that you know what reselling Fiverr gigs means and that you are allowed to do this business, let’s jump straight into how to do it.
How to Resell Fiverr Gigs
You need to take a couple of steps before you start offering your flipped services to the general populace.
Step #1: Create a Fiverr Account
This is the first and easiest step. It only takes a couple of minutes to register an account with Fiverr.com if you don’t already have any. Because you’re registering as a buyer, you don’t have to be too careful when creating your profile.
Step #2: Choose a Niche
There are so many freelanced jobs that you can offer that it’s crazy. Fiverr alone has dozens of subcategories spread out over eight categories.
However, some jobs don’t work as well as others when it comes to reselling. Jobs that can be resold easily need to meet some conditions.
- There has to have a reasonably great demand.
- Supply mustn’t be too saturated.
- It should be able to be bought for lower prices and sold for slightly higher prices.
- It must have some sellers with over a thousand reviews.
- It’s best if it doesn’t take too much time to complete an order.
While these criteria may sound incredibly difficult to meet, some categories and subcategories make the cut. Whiteboard animation videos, for example.
If done by a professional, these videos can look great and help explain things in place of long, winded articles.
However, they’re fairly easy to make, and someone who’s used to doing them can finish off an order in a couple of hours.
Training for this job does take more time than most people are willing to spend, though, so supply remains relatively low.
Some other top-selling Fiverr gigs that you can resell are:
- eBook cover designs
- eBook formatting
- Voice acting
- Article writing
- Making explainer videos
- Translation
- Ad design
- Making sales copy
- Logo design
- Subtitling
These jobs are just the ones I know of, but there are probably a lot more. And some of these jobs are easy Fiverr gigs anyone can do.
After choosing your gig, you need to learn a little bit about it. At least enough to sound like a professional to your customers.
If you sound like a complete noob, you might not be able to make sales smoothly.
Step #3: Choose a Platform
Next, you need to make plans for a platform. You need a site you can link to where customers can place their orders. There, you can offer various services with many variations where you can get the offers you want to sell.
However, creating a new website will take some cash. WordPress.org is the best platform to host your website. You’ll need to pay to create a domain, though.
You’ll also need to pay for web hosting. Bluehost is a great option for this. Then you’ll need to pick out a good-looking theme to adorn your website.
Once you create a few essential pages like your offers, contact page, privacy policy, portfolio page, blog, terms of use, etc., you can get all these done on Fiverr for cheap.

Alternatively, you can choose Upwork as your gig reselling platform. That is, you can create an account on Upwork and offer your services. Then when you get a customer, you can direct the work to your freelancer.
This involves flipping Fiverr gigs for profit without building a website for your business.
Reselling Fiverr gigs on Upwork works great because gigs that are worth a small amount on Fiverr can be resold for way more on Upwork.

Step #4: Find Your Freelancers & Test Their Services
There are millions of freelancers all over the internet.
However, what you want is a freelancer that can accept work for relatively low pay. Fiverr has loads of talented freelancers who are willing to accept work at fairly low prices.
For example, some top-rated freelancers on Fiver charge as low as $10 for eBook cover designs.
You should look for freelancers that are ranked, that is, level one or two sellers. It’s best not to approach Pro sellers because their asking prices are usually much higher.
When you’ve found a few freelancers that seem okay, then you should order test services. Shortlist a group of freelancers with good reviews and delivery times. Buy their gigs.
Once your order is done, scrutinize it properly and decide whether it’s fit for your customers (here’s where having that background knowledge comes in).
If it is, negotiate with the seller and make a deal with them. In exchange for steady, large jobs, you get a discount on the price. Most sellers will agree.
So, the criteria for sellers are:
- Quality of work
- Delivery time
- Attitude
- Discounts
Once you’ve found at least three sellers that are fine with your conditions, you can order a couple more times to make a portfolio for your WordPress service website or Upwork account profile, depending on the platform you choose.
Once you have done this, you move on to the last step.
Step #5: Promotions
Now that you have people ready and willing to handle your orders, you need customers. The more, the better. So, you have to promote your services.
If your chosen platform is WordPress, you can get customers for free by creating an affiliate program where affiliate marketers can help promote your offer for a commission for each purchase.
This course teaches you how to do that easily and effectively.
You can also run ads on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and Google. You should also promote on forums related to your niche. Paid ads will take a bit of capital, but you can start slow and increase your promotions later.
Conclusion
Flipping Fiverr gigs is an easy way to make some cash off of doing almost nothing. You’re just there to be the middleman between the customer and the freelancer.
The most important part of reselling Fiverr gigs is keeping track of who is doing what, for which customer, and your billing. If you can do that, then you’ll be golden.
