What Would You Do for Five Dollars?

You will be surprised at some of the different types of things people will do for five dollars online.

One day I just decided I would look for gigs that paid on a daily basis. So I put in get paid daily jobs and I found a site called Fiverr, its a place for people to share what they are willing to do for 5 dollars. 

It kind of reminds me of twitter, but you can sign up for free. Create a profile and then either buy or sell services. Some of the more popular ones seem to be of people who will do video testimonials and product reviews for others websites.

Then there are those who will take a picture of themselves holding a sign, or they will record an audio message. I think my favorite one is the one where they will spell your name in a bowl of spaghetti.

You can get emails written, also it looks like personalized happy birthday videos are really popular. But don’t just think that people are doing small and insignifcant tasks.

Some get highly technical, such as voice overs, website building, article submitting to business directories, post pictures, design a t-shirt, create a drawing or send a tweet.

The many gigs fall in a variety of work opportunities. All you need is paypal. 

  • They have a section for : Gifts
  • Another category for:  Graphics
  • Plenty of tasks for : Video
  • Everyone needs Social Marketing
  • then there is Travel
  • So many requests for Writing
  • as well as Postcards
  • Pretty creative ways for Advertising
  • Talented people for Music and Audio
  • Can’t miss the section on Fun and Bizarre
  • Everyone needs Tips and Advice
  • This is a good one on Business
  • The geeks offer Technology
  • I probably can use help with Programming

Do you have a special talent, or is there something that you would do for 5 dollars. Then go check out this website.

You can Sell

How it works is you create a gig for a small service you are willing to offer then Share your gig with the world then you will be notified when your gig is ordered, and be asked to accept it. Then they will credit your Fiverr balance with $4, 48 hrs after you successfully deliver your work. You can withdraw your earnings to your PayPal 

You can Buy

You can start by finding a gig you like and order it, then pay $5 by PayPal or credit card, Also you can track your seller’s work progress, exchange files and communicate. Then  you can get your finished work! You will have 48 hrs after work delivery to ask for fixes from the seller then you can provide feedback and a review if you like what they did.

    Yes I am well aware of this site, one of my online friend told me about it. It can be of great help if we get the right person to do our job such as to design a logo for $5, it is cheap. If one is creative and writes an interesting gig, he or she can earn good money as well.

    I think the sight will be successful, because it allows buyers and sellers to come together and 100 people paying a person 5 dollars is some big money for your efforts.

    Tell you what, I will correct your spelling for $5. Here is a freebie to start with, it’s Internet site as opposed to sight.
    Regards!

    I hadn’t heard of this site. It’s an interesting concept. I think $5 adds up and is nothing to scoff at! Everyone has to start somewhere, right?
