Totally depends on the project. If you automated the process you are offering, why not?
For example: If you created an automated process to convert plain text to a kinetic typography video, or a logo to 3d, you would only need 5-10 minutes a day to copy/paste the text (which you could even outsource) and mail the results.
5-10 minutes a day for 60k sounds fastlane to me.
I've heard of people who use Fiverr to validate their idea -- example: someone who wanted to build some resume designing software first manually designed people's resume's by testing it on fiverr.
After he was getting more requests than he could fill he started building software to automate it.
Maybe if you could automate your service..

^ This is fastlane. 'Fastlane' is not some arbitrary 'matter of opinion' thing. It is very clearly definable.
Fiverr freelancing:
Violates Entry (because anyone with the skillset can start competing with you within 20 minutes)
Violates Control to some degree (If fiverr shuts down, so does your revenue)
Violates Scale (because you are just one person, and therefore you are your own bottleneck)
Violates Time (because the income is not divorced from your time)
Read the book, because it's the best one of its category.
