How One 16-Year-Old in India Has Made Over $1,500 on Fiverr in 3-Months Selling Automation Solutions

Gone are the days when a fancy college degree needed to be presented to a client before they took a chance on a service and signed their name to an invoice. In the world of freelancing, if an individual can show up, get the job done, and do it in the allotted timeframe, the client is content. The client is so content, in fact, that they then return for more, since using the same service provider repeatedly saves them the time of onboarding another freelancer.

It’s a new dawn in the world of remote work, one where barriers to entry like college degrees and expensive tuitions do not deter the talented and work-hungry individuals from making a name for themselves.

The results can be witnessed in six different Fiverr gigs on his profile presently, ranging from ‘scraping, downloading or uploading data, performing automation tasks using Python and Selenium,’ to ‘training custom object detection, image classification using Tensorflow or Yolo.’

Even more impressive, Varun’s Fiverr profile is unabashedly Gen Z, playing to his youth with a fun a clever profile layout that makes him 100% authentic.
