Alexandra shares her incredible story and gives insight
on how to make some serious cash without a 9-5 job.
Alex Fasulo is a full-time freelance writer, Fiverr millionaire,
and host of the Freelance Fairytales Podcast.
She is best known for making 378k in one year using
Fiverr's freelancing platform as a PRO seller.
"It wasn't a pretty decision, it was just out of necessity"
Alex shares how she went from a
normal 9-5 job to freelancing for Fiverr
Burning Passion? Maybe Not:
Alexandra went to college and made it through a big chunk of life before realizing that she loved writing. It wasn't something that tugged at her, and she didn't grow up dreaming of becoming a writer. But nevertheless she truly does love it now.
Started working in a corporate setting at 21 and moved to NYC. (After applying to 200 jobs!)
How long did she last? 4 WEEKS!
Which led her to freelancing, it wasn't pretty- just a necessity.
Unique journey figuring out how to make money to avoid going back to corporate.

How does Fiverr work?
Freelancing marketplace full of buyers and sellers
- Create a GIG (service you offer) i.e blogs, website, Ebooks, etc
- Instant, short term jobs based on order
- Buyer has to fill out a questionnaire (topic, business URL, key words)
- You control how much you work and how much you make
- Fiverr Pro- for top 1% of sellers
3 months into Freelancing I embraced it and loved every second of it, but it wasn't until 6 months in did I know this was long term.
"I can control what I make,
which means I can control my bills"
I didn't know if this was going to be long term,
I didn't realize this would become a brand
but I did know that I could write
and people would pay for that.
"Mistakes":
- Waited 2 years before raising prices ($15 to $25)
- Never set a cap because making money was more important to sleep
- Never said no to an order
- Didn't have time management skills and would work 16 hour days
How did you manage your time? I didn't!
The hard work has paid off and has allowed me to mentor others
to not make the same "mistakes" that I did. #regretnothing
open fiver tonight, create a profile and DO IT.
-no course, coaching, or video is more beneficial than you doing it
- work for free for family and friends to gain experience!
- customer service is the most important and will take you far

Hi Friends! I'm Jessica Haizman. I'm 28 years old and married to my best friend. We spend 98% of our time together, and no we don't spend it all cleaning and organizing. I have a daughter, Adalynn and an Australian Shepherd, Bali and they get the majority of my attention.
I have created efficient systems in all areas of our home, our phone, our careers, and our lives- and I have made it my mission to share these tips with anyone and everyone that will listen.
Why? Because these systems make my life SO MUCH EASIER and SAVE ME SO MUCH TIME. These systems keep my home clean, bring joy and calmness into my life, and allow me to spend less time picking up clutter and more time living life- I want that for you too.
The goal is to help, whether its a quick tip or life hack that I share to Tiktok or a day in the life on my social networks @jessicahaizman, a printable chart that helps me stay organized or my all-time favorite apps, an intensive course answering all the FAQ's or working 1:1 with clients to create healthy habits- these resources are all available to you!
Some things you will stumble upon are how I use non-toxic natural cleaners, have made the change to no-waste by switching to reusable towels instead of paper or glass storage containers instead of ziplocks. You will also find lots of DIY recipes and how to use common household ingredients like baking soda, white vinegar and hot water to tackle some of your toughest messes. You'll learn about my favorite cleaning supplies and cleaning products including all purpose cleaners, glass cleaners, stain removers and more.
Having a clean home drastically affects your physical and mental health, so jump on board and learn all the tips I have to share! Take the time to explore my website and interact with me on social media. I'm so excited to see how organization and a new approach on cleaning the home will change your life and leave you full of joy!
