I am freelancing on Fiverr for cheap $5 Gig (with optional $10 and $15 package). Barely have a client for march and this month, but sometimes got like 5 project months. Sometimes i reject several offers. Because i choose only small project (for cheap pay) :D

Note: first good rating really help. Need to install the Phone App to make sure keep response rate green.

What type of projects to you do for $5?

I can't imagine anything programming related that would be worth my time for $5.

Anything worth coding for a client will take at least an hour when it's all said and done. I made $12/hr flipping burgers before.

I'm wondering if GP is actually doing people's homework or something.

I wonder what's the average hourly rate on Fiverr. Grossly.

That said for some tasks and people I'd do it for 10$.

Its side work other than my full time. By the way most of my clients are generous and like to give more. My average selling price is $13.06 for now.

Its Python related project. It is really $5. But any of my client give more like $10 or $15. For the $5 is good enough for a day project. Sometimes i got it done really fast, sometimes several hours. But i choose a project that can be done in a day (after office hour).

you should put at least email in your profile here, if you want more gigs (and ratings)

Out of curiosity - what kinds of things do you do for $5 and how long does it take on average? Thanks!

Simple project like excel/csv processing, school task, etc.

Do you feel bad doing people's homework?

I dont.

I would like to explain if they asked. And give some comments on the code to tell what is the code doing.
