I got into Fiverr in 2022 to test it out as a side hustle for Cybersecurity professionals.

To be clear... I am NOT a big fan of freelancing, as most cybersecurity professionals already have 9–5 jobs and busy schedules.

Trading time for money is not scalable with that type of job stress

This is why I have always preferred to write e-books, create courses, etc.

You get ten orders with freelancing, then that is ten times the effort!

However, with all the layoffs and cost-of-living issues, many cybersecurity professionals now need a viable side-hustle to survive.

This is where sites like Fiverr and Upwork come in.

Fiverr is an incredibly popular freelancing platform that has evolved considerably since its early days.

It is now a thriving marketplace for freelancers with a proper gig ecosystem.

Even making a few thousand dollars a month on this platform can be life-changing for people.

You can also earn in dollars, which is amazing for countries like Pakistan and India, where I am from.
