Fiverr ProUp-and-coming
Before you order
- Define the customer you sell to in one sentence (who, where, what size). Market sizing for "small businesses worldwide" produces a big, useless number.
- Write down how you charge (price per customer per year). Bottom-up sizing is customers you can reach times what they pay you.
- List the competitors you already know and the ones customers mention. The researcher should extend your list, not start from zero.
Seller shortlist
How this list was made
- Fiverr Pro (vetted) badge
- Gig rated 4.8 or higher with at least 20 reviews
- Most recent review within the last 30 days (Fiverr no longer shows a "Last delivery" line, so the latest review is the recency check)
- Gig is about market or competitor research for a business, not SEO or marketplace product research

The market slide is where founders lose credibility fastest
As a startup investor I read many market slides, and the most common problem is not a small market but a number nobody can explain: a large total taken from a report, multiplied by a small percentage. It sounds conservative and tells the reader nothing. What persuades is the opposite construction, the number of customers you can actually reach, times what each pays you, with a source behind both. A good researcher builds exactly that, and the result is often smaller and much more convincing.
How to read the shortlist
Dr. Loaloa Riad focuses on validating an idea before you commit. Will Bryant writes the research into an investor-ready document. Fahad A is the pick for a competitor deep-dive. Hristo Dikov also builds financial models, which helps when the sizing has to feed one, and Dragana T. is the lowest-priced Pro option.
Share your one-sentence customer definition in the first message, as in the first message guide, and check the scope in any custom offer — countries and competitor count are where the price moves.
Check the sources, not the report design
A market report can look professional and still rest on numbers nobody can find. Before accepting, open a handful of sources at random and confirm each contains the figure quoted, for the year quoted. Then change one input in the spreadsheet and see whether the market size moves. If the number only lives in a PDF, you cannot update it for the next round, and you cannot answer the first follow-up question in a meeting.
Brief to send
Every field here is one a seller would otherwise ask about in a call. Fill them all; write "not applicable" rather than deleting one.
- The customer
- Who buys, where, what size of company or person. One sentence.
- The question
- Market size for a deck / competitor map / whether to enter a market. What decision this informs.
- Pricing
- What a customer pays per year, so the sizing can be bottom-up (customers × price).
- Method
- Bottom-up first, top-down only as a cross-check. TAM, SAM, SOM each with a one-line definition.
- Sources
- Every number linked to a named source with a date. Mark estimates as estimates.
- Competitors
- My current list. Add others with pricing, target customer and how they sell.
- Format
- A short report plus a spreadsheet with the calculation, so I can change an input.
- Acceptance
- Final payment when every figure has a source I can open and the spreadsheet recalculates when I change the price or the customer count.
- Follow-up
- Rate to update the sizing for a second segment or country later.
How to accept the work
- Open five sources at random. Each link works and actually contains the number quoted, for the year quoted.
- The serviceable and obtainable numbers (SAM, SOM) are built from customers you can reach and your price, not from a percentage of a big total.
- The spreadsheet recalculates when you change the price or the number of customers.
- Competitors include the ones your customers mention, not only well-known companies from search results.
- You can explain the market number in two sentences, with the method, to someone who has not read the report.
The general case — owning the accounts, alerts on failure, testing without watching — is in Acceptance checklist: does it run unattended?.

Questions people ask
What is the difference between TAM, SAM and SOM?
TAM is everyone who could ever buy this kind of product, SAM the part your product and channels can serve, SOM the part you can realistically win in the next few years. Investors look hardest at SOM and at how it was built.
Why do investors distrust a huge market size?
Because a big top-down number ("1% of a $50B market") says nothing about whether you can reach customers. A smaller bottom-up number with sources shows you know who buys and at what price.
How much does market research cost on Fiverr?
The Pro gigs here start between $100 and $400. Primary research, several countries or a full business plan cost more.
