I had been wanting to make some basic changes to my web forms and my web expert actually referred me to Fiverr.com.  I didn’t think anything of it.  I looked at it and basically blew the whole thing off because I wanted the form the way I wanted it and I didn’t want to take the risk with someone who could potentially mess up my site.

5 Reasons Fiverr is a Creative Marketing Resource

But then I saw Jim Kukral promoting his newest book Attention! This Book Will Make You Money: How to Use Attention-Getting Online Marketing to Increase Your Revenue
 (which I highly recommend) at last week’s BizCamp and he featured Fiverr.com as a wonderful creative marketing resource.

  1. You can come up with your own creative idea and ask someone to do it. (“Suggest Gigs”)
  2. You can browse what people are willing to do and hire them to do it for your business.  I especially like that because it’s your very own idea generator. Just look at the picture I used at the top of this post!
  3. Even if you don’t like what that person does — it’s only $5!  Just take a look at what Jim Kukral got from an illustrator!  There’s no doubt.  There might be some dogs — but you could find a real gem too.
  4. You can run 10 attention-getting promotion ideas for the price of dinner!
  5. It’s FUN and You have very little to lose and much to gain!

Overall, this is a wonderful resource for ideas and outrageous marketing resources.

Have you ever ordered anything from Fiverr?  What’s been your experience?

    It is written elsewhere that Fiverr blocks user accounts for no apparent reason and that payments to gig providers can be delayed. Furthermore, it appears there is no time limit for gigs to be accepted and delivered upon. And attempts to resolve such issues with Fiverr ends in failure. Any truth to such problems with Fiverr?

    So what can you get for $10? A lot!!

    On the web are unique innovative websites performing as a new platform where services can be bought and sold for just $10.

    We all found ourselves in situations where we needed a job done, but couldn’t find the right person or the right price for us. Some interesting websites provides a direct line for customers and suppliers to interact with one another and reaching mutual satisfaction. The set price and the wide range of suppliers offering their immediate services is a new market place concept like no other. On these marketplaces you’ll find online services such as advertising services, people who will write articles for you and even services you never though existed such as personal assistance with marketing activities, video, social activities services, or anything that comes to mind. You need something any job done this is the place to find someone who will do the job for you.
    The unique nature of some website enables us to perform as a small trust fund. Meaning, that the $10 the customer transfers the money, but the service supplier will receive it only after the customer has confirmed his total satisfaction from the service provided. We cannot confirm nor have a background check on each service provider, but the way the platforms works assures that service providers who do not perform to the customers total satisfaction will eventually be removed from the site due to low evaluations the receive from you, the customer.
    This is a self supported system. As such a system we depend on our followers to promote us. They are actually our best public relations people. Those who experienced the website and had a good interaction there will recommend us to people close to them. Through them we can reach out to a larger audience and provide you a greater deal of options. But it’s not all about us. Your personal interest is also at our heart, by using this platform you can expose yourself to a larger audience and increase your personal followers on the different web applications.
    We truly believe that for some things in life there is no need to pay a lot in order to receive a top quality service. So why pay more when what you need to be done can be done for just $10.
