Maddy Osman: The whole point of Fiverr to me is business development and productizing your services so that it’s not necessarily a one-size-fits-all thing because you can also set gig extras, and you can make different packages. You could do “This is the barebones version of my service, business is the mid-tier, and then this is the works. This is everything for a premium price.” But you just want to think about your services in a way that you can consistently deliver things without needing to do a lot of additional research or questioning.

 

Intro: Hey, everybody. Welcome to another episode of How I Built It, the podcast that asks, “How did you build that?” We are in episode 164 today, and I am talking to my friend Maddy Osman. Maddy has a unique approach to her business and agency, and it’s mostly around getting gigs on Fiverr, selling her online courses on Skillshare, and other marketplaces. When she first told me about this, I was blown away. I have not had good experience with the online course marketplaces like Udemy, so they’ve left a bad taste in my mouth. I didn’t think that somebody living in the United States could make a good income off of Fiverr, and Maddy proved me wrong on all accounts. She offers fantastic advice on how you can get started, too, with both selling on Fiverr or other marketplaces, things to think about and, of course, the important rules you need to follow to make sure you stay in these marketplaces’ good graces, which has helped her considerably. She’s inspired me to start looking into some of this stuff, and I will certainly be more open to opportunities as they come across my inbox. So, thank you to Maddy for that. Let’s get into this episode, shall we?
