If you’re wondering what are the best low-competition, high-demand gigs on Fiverr that you should start selling, continue reading cause we have all the answers on how to find low-competition Fiverr gig ideas.
As more people strive to work from home, it is bound to grow with technological advances. Fiverr became a platform for offering freelance services when it faced little to no competition in the late 2000s. Many users are offering their services on the website to potential customers, creating fierce competition.
Ultimately, sites like Fiverr offer a platform on which service providers can link up with service providers. For example, due to the increase in e-commerce, there has been a significant increase in the number of people that seek to make money online.
To earn money efficiently, you must look for services with low competition and high demand. This article will give you an insight into what services you should perfect and offer prospective customers. I will focus on highlighting high-demand and low-competition Fiverr gigs. I will also include the prices of these services according to the site.
How To Get Your Foot in The Door
The key is finding the right balance between low-competition gigs and high-demand, well-paying jobs.
For example, high-demand freelance jobs include content writing, AI generation, resume writing, social media management, and logo design. However, getting your foot in the door can be hard when you’re new with no experience.
That means you may have to work for a lot less at first. Yet, as you build experience and review (and get better at specific gigs), you can start charging more and more according to the market.
On the other hand, more accessible gigs include providing consumer feedback, proofreading, adding subtitles, and creating Canva designs. However, with lower demand for these, it might be hard to make a living.
Somewhere in the middle of these two groups is the sweet spot for earning a living as a freelancer that you can count on to pay your bills.
1. Certificate Designing
Certificate designing is a basic service offering you should consider. With the increase in online studies, an institution will need a reliable certificate designer. It is one of the top-selling gigs on Fiverr that you can offer.
Fiverr gigs include education-related certificates like diplomas and awards, bond certificates, stock design, membership certificates, participation certificates, and many more. Designers on the site usually charge around $5-20 for their final piece.
The best part is that you do not need a university degree to design them or complete this work-from-home job. You can teach yourself to become a graphic designer.
Currently, there are many certificate designers – 1536 designers to be exact.
So you have to ensure you deliver quality work to be noticed.
Canva is free cloud-based online graphic designing software where you can create and develop almost anything within minutes. You can use Canva to design a certificate and then sell it. If you search for certificates on Canva, many templates will appear. You can also use Canva for fun design templates like thank you cards or wedding invitation cards.
When you get projects, you can use the templates, edit and send them to your clients efficiently. You must pick any design, redesign it to fit the client and get paid.
2. Spotify Banner
Spotify is one of the best music streaming platforms on the internet. If you are a music lover, you know how this platform works. Any graphic designer will be happy to know that designing Spotify banners is the least competitive Fiver gig in the graphic and design category.
When you run a search on the Fiverr website, there are currently 70 services that are available for the Spotify banner. The number of offerings is relatively low, especially when you have a high earning potential of up to $85000 annually when it's your full-time job. That rounds up to over $7,080 per month.
Considering the small number of services offering Spotify banner designs, I encourage you to get in on the action if you’re a designer or want to learn.
3. Project 24 Blog Post (Blog Writing)
Blog writing is in high demand, but it can be hard to get in. Offering clients a specific blogging style (Project 24) can give you an edge. This is one of the best opportunities available on the Fiverr website. It is one of the few more accessible gigs to sell on Fiverr.
Of course, you will need to educate yourself first. The Income School YouTube channel is the best place to start for that. If you can shell out some money, I recommend taking their course: Project 24. That way, you could do blogging and be a freelance writer for others.
If you have yet to hear about project 24, it's a training program developed by Income School, where they teach aspiring bloggers how to start a successful blog and YouTube channel. They have a unique keyword research method and a systematic way of creating blog posts, which is the best way to get on Google's first page. You can check out their YouTube channel to learn about starting a successful blog if you need more information.
There are currently 6021 service providers. All you need to do is earn a 4.5-5.0 rating. You can make around $24,000-$115,000 per year. Blog education will put you ahead when a client looks for these services on the site. These days, understanding how to use AI writing tools appropriately can also help you write at scale.
4. Discord PFP
PFP stands for “profile picture.” Many people want their picture, whether personal or for business, to be as appealing as possible. Discord is a platform primarily used by content creators or gamers who like to engage with their audience.
An animated profile picture is what most people would want, so make sure you learn how to do it well. If you’re interested, learn basic graphic design and how to make good profile pictures. You can then capitalize on this opportunity to sell your designs.
For clients to find you easily, you must include discord PFP in your gig title and description on Fiverr. Currently, there are about 138 service providers listed on the site. This means that it is one of the relatively low-competition niches. Discord PFP services start at $5. Payment can rise to $100 depending on the project you are to work on.
5. Infographics
Nowadays, infographics are everywhere. An infographic is a collection of images, charts, and texts that helps readers with an easy-to-understand overview of a topic. Almost every content creator is leveraging the power of infographics to convey messages brilliantly.
The primary purpose of an infographic is to present information, data, or knowledge in a simple illustration. Infographics fall under the graphics and design section on the Fiverr website. The price range is from $5-$110. There are more than 6,070 available services.
That aside, getting a job for an infographic is still accessible because the demand is enormous. For instance, according to ZipRecruiter, the average salary for an infographic designer is $85,918 per year. This rounds up to an average of $7,160 per month.
6. Gaming Montage
This is very good for all the video game enthusiasts out there. It is also convenient for those that like video editing. This category is competitive. Despite the high competition, it is thankfully also in high demand.
All you have to do is to combine small shots of videos into a 15-minute long montage. This is a fantastic gig for anyone who likes video games and video editing. All you have to do is to combine small shots of videos into a 15-minute long montage.

Currently, 1117 services are listed, which is an indication that competition is high. It would be best to get in early to get a stake in the industry. Regarding pricing, you stand to earn around $50,071 per year.
7. Legal Writing
In this type of writing, you must focus on legal content. This service suits a law student or anyone interested in legal content. You must know the law industry's technicalities to engage in this sector.
Sometimes, you may be required to summarize case notes or bring out certain aspects of a case. If you are a lawyer or studying law, this can be the perfect side hustle gig to make you some extra cash in your spare time.

As I write this article, there are only 1087 services listed on Fiverr for legal writers. According to ZipRecruiter, the average salary for a legal writer is $87,301 per year. Freelance writers usually charge $10 – $100.
8. Skyscraper Technique

The high ranking helps to display your website first during google searches. This is a very specialized gig where there is very little competition.

9. Domain Research
With a domain, you can either start a website from scratch and use a brand-new domain name or start a website with a domain name with many established backlinks.
With an old website domain, it is easier for a site to get traffic. With a brand-new domain, gaining visibility and views is more complicated. Thus many small business owners and content creators look for expired domains with high domain authority and lots of quality backlinks. This is where you can help them.
On Fiverr, you will notice that there are only 303 services that are listed. They will hire you because they want a high-quality domain name that hasn't been abused or used for the wrong purposes. If you choose this line of work, you will be glad to know that the average salary for a domain consultant is $81,307.
10. Case Study
A case study is a detailed study of a specific subject, such as a person, group, place, event, organization, or phenomenon. For example, a case study can involve planning and checking the results of a business and daily life work.
To get started, you will listen to your clients and present all the details, data, and facts the client will require. Continuing the business example, you might be asked to prepare findings on the achievements of the business for the year.
Fiverr has over 2,543 services listed for case studies. Like most Fiverr services, the starting pay for case study writing is $5. This could rise to almost $300, depending on how experienced you are.
11. Website Banner
A website banner is the website's home page where visitors will come and see details of the website. From the banner, a website visitor should immediately grasp what the brand is about and what they offer.
For example, if your client has an E-commerce website, he will ask you to design a banner related to selling. On the other hand, the banner will be related to books if the client has a used book website.
Essentially, the client will provide you with information, and you will design a banner. Like most design services, it requires you to be good at designing. So you must be creative to make some unique and attractive banners.
Photoshop is the widely used software for this project. An alternative to Photoshop can be Canva. There are over 2,166 services on Fiverr. Overall, you can charge $5-$150 per gig. It ultimately depends on how good you are.
12. YouTube Keyword Research
Keyword research is one of the most critical things content creators have at their disposal. With the right keywords, anyone can get a high ranking both on Google search and YouTube.
Since most YouTubers are busy creating content, they often require the service of a freelancer to find keywords that they can quickly get a ranking for on the first page of search engines.

You will need to provide the following:

You must know about SEO (search engine optimization) to write articles and blogs well. Everyone wants to rank their blog site so that they can get more and more organic views.
Yoast SEO is different from a regular SEO service and much more simple (and more measurable). In this service, you will audit and do on-page SEO. You will need to install the free plugin of Yoast SEO available on a client’s Wodpress website and do what this plugin suggests.
You will need to give a focus keyword and then see the density of that keyword. Yoast SEO plugin will then analyze and suggest you change the article. The only limitation is that you have to look for clients with their websites on WordPress (which is a lot of them).

There are currently only 690 services that offer to write for tech on the Fiverr platform. Since it requires a lot of time to prepare, it is relatively expensive compared to other forms of article writing. You can earn $50 -$300 per article you write, which is good money for most people. This means you are paid more for the work you do.

WhatsApp is one of the most used apps in the world. The number of WhatsApp users has been increasing significantly since its original launch. With so many users, it is an excellent opportunity to make some money with this platform.
