Forgive the dumb question but what kind of output do you make?
Do people ask for graphs on fiverr like the article? (I can only imagine sort of "must have a powerpoint ready for 9am in Tokyo sort of thing. I know that's a real industry even if that industry always seemed to me like everyone gathering round a fake painting with everyone knowing it's a fake)
I sell logos and vector illustrations.
I have tons of pre-made ones in my portfolio. If someone likes one of my logos for their business - they can just buy it outright. They don't even have to contact me and can just buy the file package generated by the website.
If the client likes the logo, but can't figure out the interface, or want me to apply some changes - he contacts me. I talk to him, do everything that he requests and at the end I sell him the logo + premium for my time and additional custom work.
Usually people ask me for things similar to what they saw in my portfolio. Rarely do I get unusual requests like this graph. If I get a request that I can't do - I will say no or refer them to the graph guy. But if I am feeling creative - I tell them an unreasonably high price. Sometimes they agree and it turns out that I was a graph guy all along

Anyway - always interested.
