Anyone who is or has been involved in online marketing or blogging or indeed any form of online activity will probably realize that to get anything substantial done takes an awful lot of time and energy.
Time is therefore a commodity that should be used wisely, indeed many of the best marketers and website owners pay to outsource most of their tasks that need to be done thus allowing them to concentrate on their core business.
After all, if you are trying to make money you make money by running something not building it.
On the other hand many people will not want to invest large funds in outsourcing parts of their projects when the concept has not necessarily been proven.
I stumbled across a site recently completely by accident and nearly fell off my chair!
I could not believe the huge range of services being offered for $5 – anything from writing small speeches to sending letters to your children from Santa.
Think about this – in any industrialized country, what can you really get for the equivalent of $5? A cup of coffee? A sandwich?
From an Internet Marketers perspective there are people on there that can help you with everything from article marketing, to web design, to back link building. The list of services in endless.
I think the reason why this site works so well is because of its simplicity. If you want to use one of the services provided you simply click the buy button and can pay by pay pal or credit card and then you have 48 hours to make any changes to the work after it’s delivered.
As a service provider your account will be credited with $4, 48 hours after you deliver the project. The beauty of this system is that even if the work is not up to scratch you don’t have a lot to lose.
As in any business, the first point to accept is that you cant do everything yourself, I outsource headers and graphics for example – I simply don’t have the time for those sorts of tasks.
People that you choose to surround yourself with will have a Huge bearing on how successful you become. The trick is to find the best people that can provide you with the best value for your business and if this comes in the form of someone who will deliver something for $5 that is great, but I would still bear in mind the old maxim that you get what you pay for in life.

This is a useful post. I agree with your proposition — “I would still bear in mind the old maxim that you get what you pay for in life.”

I have used the fiverr site several times with mostly very good results. There is feedback from the users that you can usually depend on to see if a vendor has done good service in the past. I really like the site.

Peter – thank you! I’ll check the fiverr site out and see what they offer. I just finished my first ebook and it is true – doing everything on my own is killing me! Without money to spend on help, the only choice is doing everything myself – but, if this site works that is a thing of the past. The hardest part for me is keeping up with my blogs while writing or creating an ecover and all the other million things I have to do. I want to update my blogs myself, but having someone build a squidoo lens or a hubpage or any of the other traffic getting sources, would really take a load off. Thank you so much!
Came across it before. used a particular service offered there and believe that I got more value for 5 bucks than from high flier Jeff who charged $147. Ye outsourcing is essential.

Hey Peter, thanks for passing on that link, the price is defiantly right.
If their work is just halfway decent, then I will be happy!
Hi Peter!
One more great blogpost and thanks for the book, this is realy one of the think i would look into in the future
Hi Peter,
Another useful and interesting post! The fiverr site’s been around for a while now and, judging from many positive reviews from other well-established Marketer’s, it’s got a lot going for it. As you say, ‘You get what you pay for’ certainly applies, but for simple graphics, banners, and short writing tasks – it’s a godsend! For writers, designers and programmers, it’s also a great opportunity to earn a quick extra income, too… Our Website, ‘Write2Profit’ offers some ideas on this, especially for Writers and Designers. Why not take a look, on our ‘Recommended’ page…
Thanks, Andy.

Again, thanks for your order Peter.
Best of luck.

Thanks Peter. I bookmarked the site. Some is real weird stuff, but some services can help and can’t beat the price.

Not sure if this is the same site posted on the other blog. I like the concept of the site. Offers at $5 dollars is very affordable to everybody. I need to check how this site really works especially the payment too.

Pete. I remember seeing a post from Murlu on this a while back and I too thought it was incredible what you could get there. (his post title was rocking too btw “What can you get for a Fiverr? Any-Ting you want” Hahahahahaha
I actually had a guest post from a guy who made a fulltime living there – quite interesting to read actually and I have since used the service to find a guy who now handles my Twitter account – so there you go
I was under the impression that you actually only got $3 a gig, by the time you lost $1 to Fiverr and another one to admin fees. Not sure though

I use Fiverr to buy some services twice and got scammed.
I mean the service is not like what it described.
5$ is alot in asian countries ( i am an asian). If you sell a gig for 4$ (1$ fiver takes) it is like 4 days salary in Indonesia (where i am from).
So this is why fiverr members are mostly Asians, because 4$ means alot for them.
I noticed a fiverr member where i bought my gig from was a male under fiverr female member names LOL.
I believe with female names they can attract buyers better

I kinda get how you feel, i too got scammed.
The article that the seller gave is an article from ezine, not unique article as he/she advertised.
Thank god i can get my money back to purchase another gig.
Even though the support on fiverr takes too much time giving me the money back.
Greetings from fellow indonesian, kimi.
Bastian recently posted..Motivation Creation
Hey Bastian,
Nice to meet another Indonesian blogger
Yes, I agree fiverr took a long time to give the money back,
Greetings back, and let’s pray for Indonesian disasters
Thanks.

wow that is crazy, the phrase ‘too good to be true’ comes to mind. I would rather pay the money to someone I know does things the right way honestly.

Hi everyone, I’m a first-timer to this one web site, but yet I’ve been very much shopping around for this for a bit now, and the content is just pleasant. Thanks heaps!
Gourmet Food
No doubt that every company is the same
before there invest, for sure they looking for ROI and judge on the value to invest
Of course they are lot of limitation like lack of experience, lack workers, lack of time.
That why so many opportunities allow so many company to enter and ready the solution to those company by charging fees.
Hi everyone, Fiverr is the new Twitter. Only that it is for offering your products or services and hiring freelancers. Like Twitter’s 140-characters limit, Fiverr requires all gigs and offers to be worth $5 only.

It seems fiverr is interesting site to try. I haven’t tried fiverr because I was still thinking what could I do and how am I going to sell it. Since I was having few ideas on how am I going to provide service, I am happy to focus more on other freelancing site.
