I don't know if any of you have ever heard of the gig where you can wish people happy birthday on Fiverr and get paid to do so. Apparently, some of these gig workers have had over 475 orders at
Speaker A
least because this guy alone has 476 reviews, and we all know that not everyone leaves a review. Even if it was just at $5 per video, the total amount he's made since starting this is $2,380 simply for creating quick videos
Speaker A
wishing people happy birthday. Now, after doing my research on this, some of these videos are absolutely incredible. Check this lady out who dresses up like Disney princesses and wishes kids happy birthday. Happy birthday to you, that it is your birthday and that
Speaker A
you are three. This specific guy is absolutely hilarious, and he does many different things. Hi there, this is Billy Ray, and uh, this is exclusive on Fiverr. I'll sing you a little country song or just wish somebody a happy birthday or
Speaker A
anniversary, whatever you want me to do. Then there's this girl who basically does nothing except for sing happy birthday, and she has reviews. Hello, beautiful people of Fiverr. I will sing a happy birthday song for you. Happy birthday
Speaker A
to you. The last one I want to show you really quickly are these guys who dress up like clowns and Santa Claus in the middle of the desert with their camel, and they sing custom happy birthday [Music] messages. Happy
Speaker A
birthday, happy birthday. To hearing about this and learning that you can actually make money doing something like this, you already know I had to give it a try to see how it goes. As embarrassing as this one may seem, let's see if we can make a
Speaker A
little bit of extra money doing it. Now, I think it's pretty obvious the first step was for me to go to Walmart and get a couple party supply things so that I could start creating these videos on Fiverr. Walmart had a couple cute
Speaker A
things, and I knew by the looks of Fiverr, no one's videos make it seem like I would need anything too special or too out of the ordinary, so these looked like they would do the trick. But then I just
Speaker A
decided on this one. I grabbed some hats, party horns, and I headed home. Now, the next step was for me to create a Fiverr profile so that I could start offering gigs on Fiverr. Setting up the profile was relatively simple. It was nothing
Speaker A
extreme, nothing too difficult. I think the entire process from start to finish took me roughly 20 to 25 minutes. When it came to my description, I really didn't know what to put, so I just put this: I will wish anyone a happy birthday or
Speaker A
anniversary. This will come in a 30-second format and can either be singing or talking. If you would like for me to sing, sing, it's going to be a little bit extra. Let me provide a little insight: my singing is absolutely fantastic, and I
Speaker A
should have won American Idol in 2003 when I was on the show. I'm totally kidding. I was never on the show, and I do not have a good singing voice. I mean, in all honesty, you can't really take this
Speaker A
one too incredibly serious. I mean, you're singing people a happy birthday. I do not have a good singing voice. I've never really done this before in my entire life. I think the whole idea is relatively supposed to be silly, so I
Speaker A
decided to just keep it silly, keep it fun, and not take it too seriously. Just to be clear, I did not select Fiverr Pro, okay? I just selected the basic Fiverr account that does not have you verify whatever you're doing, just the basic
Speaker A
Fiverr gig account. And because I'm in the USA, I also had to fill out the W9 form and submit it now for them to review it and actually approve it and move forward with actually posting gigs. I didn't know how long that would
Speaker A
actually take, but it ended up only taking about 10 to 15 minutes for them to send me back an email stating that it was approved and I could go ahead and post gigs. I overall decided to do two
Speaker A
gigs: one with me just talking and saying happy birthday, and then one with me singing happy birthday, which is so cringe because, like I said, I don't have a good singing voice. It did take me about one complete hour to record and
Speaker A
edit both videos and set them up as gigs on my Fiverr account. Just a moment, I'm going to show you my Fiverr profile, and I'm going to go over how many orders I have so far. But I want to quickly take a
Speaker A
moment to mention today's sponsor Aura. I do a lot of trying outside hustles on this channel, which has resulted in me discovering a lot of scams here on YouTube, which initially led me to receiving a ton of spam. However, thanks
Speaker A
to today's sponsor Aura, I never even have to worry about it anymore. Now, I'm not sure if any of you are members with AT&T, but they were just involved in a massive data leak. And for those of you
Speaker A
who are not aware, AT&T just revealed that over 73 million customer records, both existing and former customers of AT&T, were released on the dark web. They recommend that those affected use strong passwords, monitor account activity, and consider credit freezing or fraud alerts
Speaker A
from the credit bureaus. But interestingly enough, Aura does all of this for me in one app, and best of all, I don't have to download a ton of different apps and do a ton of different things just because
Speaker A
the company couldn't keep my information safe. I'm not currently a member of AT&T, but I did used to be, and when I heard this information, I was not worried at all because I have Aura, and I know
Speaker A
that Aura is doing that behind-the-scenes hard work for me of keeping me safe online. Now, it's not just AT&T users. Anybody who does a simple Google search of your name can find out things about you, such as home address, where you work,
Speaker A
health records, who your relatives are, and more. Data brokers, like we've discovered from my side hustle series, are trying to gather all that information to sell to people like scammers, spammers, or anyone else on the internet who may want to target you or
Speaker A
may want your information. Of course, I value my privacy, and I also value yours as the viewer. You can go to www.aura.com/KimberlyMitchell to get started with your 7-day free trial today. That's also going to be linked in the description
Speaker A
box down below. Now, it's time for that reveal of me going over to my Fiverr profile and showing you all what it looks like and showing you all what my videos look like and how they turned out. Here we are on my Fiverr account. As you
Speaker A
can see, I have two options. My first one is I will create a happy birthday video. That one is just talking. Let's click into it, and I'll kind of show you. It says for this specific gig, I will wish
Speaker A
anyone a 10 to 15-second happy birthday, which can include the name and age of the individual who is having the birthday, and a custom message, appropriate only, obviously. This will be quality 4K video with premier sound and lighting and is
Speaker A
talking only. Does not include singing. Now, come to think of it, I should have made the singing one more, which I'm going to go in and edit. But if you'd like to edit, you can just hit this button here, and then this is what people
Speaker A
will see in order to continue and book with you. They can also send you a direct message via Contact Me. And if you want to see the video, I'm going to play it now. Happy birthday, Bobby. I hope you have
Speaker A
the best 38th birthday that ever existed. We're so blessed that God put you on this Earth. Go out and enjoy your 38th birthday. Happy birthday. That one's not even the best one. We're going to watch the one of me singing, which I'm going to
Speaker A
go in and edit it right now. I'm going to edit it and make this higher because I just realized I'm singing, so it should be more, right? Okay. As you can see, I added some photos here like what other
Speaker A
people had, and then here's the clip of me singing happy birthday. This birthday song is going out to you, Regina. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. And then now it's just like a little thing where I can put their name. Now,
Speaker A
let's take a look at my overall earnings for the first couple of days that I...
Speaker A
anything like that to show for as of right now I don't really know what to expect from this to be quite honest I don't know how long this would take to even get orders I don't know if I'll
Speaker A
ever get orders there are a ton of people offering this service so I'm literally probably at the bottom of the list I don't even know if people will ever even see the profile but I did give it a try and I'm going to see how long
Speaker A
it takes if I ever do get an order and if I do I will give you guys updates on how much I've actually been able to earn if you think this is interesting and you also want to give it a try drop a
Speaker A
comment down below or give me any questions you think you may have regarding it as always thank you all so much for your support and I do look forward to seeing you in my next video bye-bye
