Whenever I open YouTube in non-member, non–ad-free mode, I get a Fiverr ad telling me I can find a freelancer for almost everything.
Of course, also for writing and copy.
And since I know many of you are curious about offering their copywriting services on Fiverr in 2025, I’m excited to share my interview with
from , one of the top-rated copywriters on the platform.Maya has worked with over 2,200 clients, and her Fiverr business was featured in Business Insider.
She’s also part of Fiverr’s Sell Pro community, with direct access to Fiverr employees who show her how to optimize her profile and gigs.
But first, let’s bust a big myth.
“Fiverr is a few levels below content mill…”
“I’ve always written off Fiverr as being a few levels below a content mill. I know some people do well on it, but I’ve never heard anything about pitching yourself high to begin with.”
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
During this week’s podcast interview, I talked with Maya about Fiverr, which used to have a reputation for $5 gigs and race-to-the-bottom pricing, and that things have changed.
And Maya is living proof with these amazing earnings to date:
🎧What we cover in this week’s episode
In our interview, Maya shares:
The mindset shifts that helped her grow
How she 4x’d her income with Fiverr + LinkedIn
Why distraction nearly ruined her career
How she sets boundaries and works on her terms
What beginners need to know to avoid undercharging (and why Maya gives high prizes right from the get-go)
And yes—she shares how she made $12,000 from a single gig, with no paid ads or big audience.

Why Fiverr is made for (copy)writers
Copywriting, when done right, can be highly profitable.
And Fiverr makes it simple to:
✅ List your services
✅ Attract global clients
✅ Get paid to write (without chasing invoices)
Whether it’s:
Newsletters
Book writing
Social media copy
Website messaging
Brochures, magazines
Landing pages and funnels
B2B and email campaigns
As a beginner, you can start with a small scope of work, then expand, specialize, and scale from there.
If you check out Fiverr’s resources, you’ll see they even support you with onboarding tools, profile guidance, and reviews that build trust quickly—something most beginner freelancers struggle with.
The NEW small business survey shows…
Maya thinks Fiverr is one of the best platforms to launch a copywriting business, even if you're brand new.
The new Fiverr Small Business Month Survey 2025 confirms this.
The survey shows (copy) writing, content creation, and translation belong to the most ordered Fiverr services…
Because “creating engaging content” is what small businesses want from freelancers on Fiverr.
From imposter syndrome to $250K+
Back in 2014, Maya quit her 9–5 to go freelance. She was raising two kids, had no idea how Fiverr worked, and nearly gave up a dozen times.
She set her prices way too low.
She thought about going back to a “real job.”
She got distracted chasing other offers that weren’t aligned.
But over time, she found her groove. And today?
✅ She’s made over $240,000 on Fiverr
✅ She’s in the top 1% of all sellers
✅ And she once earned $12,000 from a single gig
Here’s how Maya puts it:
“(…) although I’m in the top 1% of sellers, there are service providers who’ve made over $1 million. Yes, on Fiverr, of all places. (…) If you’re just starting out, I’d recommend you go create a few gigs on the platform. Worst case, you’ll get a good feeling of how to structure a service offer. Best case, you can outearn your job in a couple of months.”
