Since throwing a gig up on Fiverr last summer, I've made $3.4K. 

Nothing crazy, but here's the kicker: 

100% of it came from inbound leads - I put 0 time or effort into marketing. 

I spent 1 hour creating a good profile, and that was it!

A few important takeaways from this experiment:

1. It's obviously not $100K, but it's a hell of a lot better than $0. 

Who wouldn't benefit from an extra $3.4K? 

I'm using it to pay for my bachelor party and other upcoming trips. 

2. Entrepreneurship doesn't have to be some big, scary thing. 

Just start by trying to earn your first dollar on the internet. 

You don't have to dive into the deep end - dip your toes in first!

3. Fiverr is grossly underrated and underutilized. 

The consistent stream of inbound leads and people actively seeking services/products is incredible. 

If you're struggling with how to start your entrepreneurial journey, I highly recommend throwing up a gig on Fiverr and seeing what happens. 

4. It was pretty cool that my I earned some of this through my own product - thanks Kahana!

What experiments have you done that have pleasantly surprised you?

PS: Comment below or shoot me a DM if you're interested in setting up a Fiverr profile - I'd be happy to help out! 

PPS: This isn't a sponsored post lol, just a huge fan of what Fiverr has done :)
