Looking for a way to earn extra money? Or perhaps you need some low-cost help with a project? Check out Fiverr.com, the place for people to share things they’re willing to do for $5. The concept is simple. For those looking to make extra cash you create listings describing the work you are willing to do for $5. Some examples that currently appear on the site include:
* I will be your personal assistant for 1 hour for $5
* I will record you a rap/hip hop song for $5
* I will write 5 comments with SEO backlinks to your site for $5
* I will convert your baby into animal costume for $5
* I will design flash intros for your site for $5
* I will send a shout out of your website to 19,000+ people for $5
As you can see, the posts range from practical to obscure. If you find a service that sounds like a good deal, simply contact the seller, explain what you want them to do and pay them $5 for their work through PayPal. If you’re using the site to make money, beware that despite the assumption that you’ll make $5, you actually will only make $4. The website keeps $1 for themselves as a service fee. The site started in December of 2009 and already it appears that a lot of people are using this as a way to earn extra cash or for finding cheap labor.
