Have you heard of Fiverr.com? Fiverr.com is a website that gives you the opportunity to sell or buy a service for $5. In their own words – The place for people to share things they’re willing to do for $5.
Have you tried Fiverr.com? Was it successful or other wise? Tell us in the comments.
Services are called Gigs and are announced in the format ‘I will________for $5’. A seller will be paid $4 for each completed gig and Fiverr.com keeps $1 as service charge.
There are Gigs such as ” I will show you how to fix a slow computer for $5″, “I will jailbreak iPad, iPhone and iPod for $5”, “I will create a cartoon avatar for $5”, or some bizarre Gigs like “I will write or design anything on my feet and send you the pictures for $5”, “I will text with your boyfriend to see if he would cheat on you for $5” and the list goes on.
How To Sell on Fiverr.com
You will first have to create a Gig for a small service you are willing to offer. Next you publish or share your gig with the world. If someone ordered your gig, you’ll be notified and asked to accept it. After 48 hours of successfully delivering your work, Fiverr.com will credit your account with $4. You can then withdraw the money to your PayPal account.
There’s a green color sidebar on the right for sellers to do some market research on what type of gigs are popularly requested.
Rest assured that there will be orders if the services that you are providing are unique and attractive.
Competition will be high as this is worldwide!
How To Buy on Fiverr.com
Look for a Gig that you like and place your order. Next, use PayPal or credit card to make the payment of $5. After payment has been made, you can track your seller’s work progress, exchange files and communicate. You will get your finished work once it has been completed and you will then have 48 hours after work delivery to ask for fixes from the seller. Finally, leave your feedback and review.
Personally I think that this is a good concept as you don’t have to ask “How much?” when looking at an advertisement. This could be the right place for you if you would like to make some money online by selling services or buying a service for $5. Check out Fiverr.com.

I really love the Fiverr.com concept, but a bit afraid to go ahead, you could have shared a video ? As thing online are a bit secured and we need to have practice vision.
Fiverr.com is very secure, it's like buying or selling on eBay. Although the idea of a video is great, I don't think it would be of much help here. Thanks for the comment.
Fiverr sounds like a good place to find and offer micro-jobs…. definitely worth checking out. Judging from your description, it even works better than Microworkers.
Microworkers is kind of an interesting place too I must say. Thanks for dropping by teecup 🙂
I am regular user of fiverr and it is very useful. But there are lot of low quality gigs as well. Finding good gigs from thousands of gigs is the most difficult process.

I supposed you are using fiverr as a buyer Rojish? Could you elaborate more on what do you mean by low quality gigs? Are you referring to the quality of the completed jobs done or the odd and bizarre gigs that are being offered? Thanks for the comment 🙂
I have a bad experience with fiver. Look like they can edit description. Simply waste of money.
I'm sorry to hear that you had had a bad experience with fiverr. However, I think it's unfair to blame them as they are only a platform that provide the service. Maybe you had a bad deal with a particular seller but that doesn't mean that fiverr is no good. It is like buying an item from a seller on eBay, later you received the item which is not as described. That's the seller's fault, not eBay. Thanks for the comment 🙂
I just rejected a delivered work. Maybe you are right, is my bad luck to deal with such a bad seller.
Leave your feedback and review so that others are aware of that seller.
