He will also help them identify this and then build a dedicated plan on how to get there with the use of Fiverr’s freelance experts via the platform.

Bartlett said: “One of the most common mistakes I see business owners make is trying to take on everything themselves.

“Discovering Fiverr was transformative for me, every time I needed an expert or professional specialising in digital services it became my default marketplace. Rather than attempting to do things that are not in my skill set, I hired experienced freelancers in their field.

“As a result, I was able to accomplish more, and focus on growing my business”.
