Kendell Rizzo made over $100,000 in profit in 18 months part-time selling services, workbooks, and other downloadable products on Fiverr.
In addition to being a 6-figure Fiverr seller, Kendell is a crowdfunding expert, a world traveler, an ironman triathlete, and runs her blog at leadandlaunch.com.
It’s been more than 100 episodes since our last Fiverr episode where Mark (AnarchoFighter) talked me through how he was the first person to make a $10k sale on Fiverr.
Fiverr is still going strong, and it’s a great example of a Buy Buttons platform – there’s no bidding for work and no outside marketing necessary. This is what attracted Kendell to Fiverr after being frustrated with other freelance endeavors that sap time bidding for jobs or submitting resumes.
Within a year and a half Kendell turned over more than $100k in profit, and went from the $5 gigs everyone starts out with to averaging between $500-$900 an order. And with digital products for sale, this was all possible while working part-time.
Tune in to hear how she made her gigs stand out from the crowd in the competitive Fiverr marketplace, and why “over-delivering” is a fast-track to Fiverr success.

Boom! Glad you liked it!
Hey Lee! So glad you enjoyed this. If you ever want to bounce ideas just let me know. I love talking with other sellers.
Interesting Interview, I wonder are the repeat customers like social media companies who have clients then are buying the gigs and charging their clients much more. That is a basic strategy taught by others, buy gigs for services your customers need then charge your client double. I wonder if she could market herself with FB ads and see much more profit. FB ad, webinar, sell!! I think she could see much more revenue that way
Hey Rob, that’s a cool idea. I am so bad with social media. I don’t do any right now, I am so bad with it, I don’t understand social media marketing at all. Is this something you specialize in or just know it on a high level?
Hi Kendell, Branding yourself as a “Crowdfunding Expert” is definitely the way to go. You could get started with low start up costs. You would need a landing page, email autoresponder, Youtube Live account and FB ads account. As they sign up for the webinar, you are capturing their email addresses and building your list. You would give the webinar and make a pitch at end for your services. Those who don’t buy, you follow up with email by giving value and again making pitches for your services over time. I could also see you starting a podcast about the topic. This would also bring in more clients.
Great article! My question is this-your profile is awesome with all the online resources you’ve created that people can buy. Can anybody create a profile like that or do you have to achieve a certain rank on Fiverr before they let you do customized profile like this?
No anyone can create a profile and get started right away! Let me know if you have any other questions. :)
Awesome podcast episode!
Iam building my profile in fiverr right now and starting my first gigs there soon. This episode really helped me, I learned a lot here :)
If I will make a smiliar amount of money after a while, I’d love to come on the podcast too :)
Thanks and all the best Daidi
I really loved this episode and was about checking out your profile on Fiverr. It’s empty. What happened??
1. Leadandlaunch.com is also gone. Looks like she moved onto something else. Please fix the link above to say no longer available.
2. Is it true that 2 ways your gigs get faster traction is…
A, Have a female avatar as your persona?
B. Do an exchange with another newbie where you buy their gig, leave them good feedback and then they do the same for you?
What do you think of those ideas?
a good bunch of content. I really learned some new ideas about audiobooks.
which platforms did you used to create this site?
just curious, wordpress, wixx, siteground, ?
thanks for the tips
