I LOVE Fiverr.com. They’ve made graphic editors, edited HTML pages and more. I hadn’t thought of asking them to edit an audio or video but that’s a good idea. A caution: if you’re going to use any low-end source for design, make sure you (a) know how to ask for what you want and (b) supply the images so you won’t get burned. At least that’s what I’d do.

I’m currently writing an article for my Best of Fiverr blog about three guys who specialize in breakup videos. They’re hilarious. They do characters, voices or will perform your own script.

There’s some real talent on Fiverr waiting to be discovered. If you need videos for your site, it’s a gold mine.

I don’t have any open gigs over there right now, I usually open them during slow times for client work – haven’t had any slow times in awhile now thankfully 😉

I’ve been using fiverr.com for over six months and I’ve been very pleased. I’ve used one person to do headers for all my blogs and she recently did two Facebook profile banners. She’s a excellent graphic artist as I visited her website and she sent me a zip file with some of her work. Apparently she’s now so busy on fiverr.com that there’s an additional $5 if you want your work back within 3 days. Plus if you want your logo files in a certain format you pay an additional $5. Why she does for $5 what she could get at least $60 for on her own, I’m not sure. Maybe the volume makes up for not having to market herself?

Also had good results with other services like e-book and Kindle book covers. As Laurie mentioned, if you’re looking for someone to do a job, make sure to click on the “Rating.” The people who have top ratings usually take longer as they’re In demand, but you’ll be outsourcing to someone who’s highly rated and that encourages more trust.

The underwater gig is definitely under-priced! And poor dog, he looks so bored 🙂 Nice ideas people come up with, but $5 is very less to actually spend time working on something. Perhaps one needs volumes to make some decent money from this site?

This is way too fun! Thanks Nik. kiss kiss

So, I want to buy a gig – the sign on the German shepherd dog, of course that says “I heart RemarkableWrinklies.com” – wouldn’t that be fun?

What will I do with it??? hmmmm… thinking, thinking, thinking.

I started out using Fiverr to buy link building gigs, and a few article submission gigs. Then I wanted more money to buy more gigs, so I looked around at what was being offered and found some things I could offer myself (and do an even better job).

Over the past year, it has helped me earn over $1,000, and I keep trying to figure out how to earn even more. It took quite some time for my gigs to start being found, but the order rate still seems very up and down and I don’t really know why. There have been times I could barely keep up, and other times very few orders in a week.

I always over deliver, and I have gotten nothing but good feedback from my clients, and that always makes my day! *smile*

My profile page is http://fiverr.com/users/lauriek (I will be adding a new gig where I’ll create a graphic for your ad and post it on 20 relevant FB pages in your niche, hopefully later today, but it may take time for them to approve it and show up in my listings, so if that interests you, please check back.)

One tip… When searching on Fiverr (whether by category or specific keywords), you can re-sort the results by using the “Rating” link, then you’ll see the gigs with the most positive feedback listed first. Also, for back link gigs, I always search using 3 words: link ping rss (those extra steps help the links get indexed, so the actually will count for your site)

In reply to Helen.

Hi Helen,

I am a Fiverr seller, I do press releases. At any rate, once you get traction on Fiverr people will approach you to do business outside of Fiverr so you’ll pick up clients through the system.

You just need to develop a few regular customers who like your work 🙂 Here’s the link to my gig if you want to check it out.

Nicole, this is a great list.

I have personally used Fiverr for a lot of tasks like voiceovers, video editing, video submissions, pdf submissions, converting word documents into powerpoint and submitting them to powerpoint websites etc.

Hey, I’ve got a British accent! Now there’s a business opportunity I hadn’t considered until today 🙂

Seriously though, I’d be interested to hear how you can convert a $5 gig on Fiverr to a regular client who pays a sensible fee for ongoing work?
