Tips From a $900K Fiverr Freelancer

Cameron Gurr, who left his corporate job for freelancing, shared advice for those starting out:

Play to your strengths: Focus on what you do best.

Study competitors: Offer something better or different.

Think outcomes, not outputs: “A résumé is just paper, but the real result is a higher salary or faster job search,” he explained.

Since 2020, Gurr has written thousands of résumés and built a six-figure annual income. His key takeaway? Freelancing can work — if you treat it like a real business.
