I spent a long time on Fiverr. I did so many $5 articles, I can write in my sleep. I had a ton of work, and I also burnt myself out. I raised my rates and crickets. Why? No one wants to pay for it. I had a ton of feedback and good reviews. I did get a few $15-$20 orders, but I made about the same as my $5 gigs as I had way fewer sales. Very few will pay you anything. $20 is still peanuts.

If you're good, they will take advantage of you. You'll get swamped and have very little return. I was writing 10+ 500 word articles daily, some with research for $5!!!! Once I think I did 25 and literally collapsed into bed.

My writing started going downhill as it's physically and emotionally impossible to go at that pace for long.

Get a blog, write here. Don't invest your time there.
