5 Great Fiverr Gigs You Can Use for Your Online Business
Those of you who spend a lot of time here at the QuantumSEO Labs blog know that I love finding ways to save money (which is why I run The Personal Finance Help Center) and I love finding cool ideas for building up my blog which don’t cost a lot of money. One of my favorite sites for doing this is the $5 website, Fiverr. This site will basically allow people to do all kinds of weird or goofy things for five bucks (really $4 – Fiverr takes a 20% commission off the top, but you always pay five bucks).
Now while Fiverr is a lot of fun and can be a great way to waste time and money on silly things (the Max Headroom guy definitely comes to mind – he’s not working at Fiverr anymore though), I’ve also found some truly useful stuff on Fiverr which can actually help you to build up your website. So, here are five of my favorite Fiverr gigs which I either have personally used or have seen highly recommended:
The Preacher Guy
I’ve had several videos done by this guy and I intend to post them shortly. He is phenomenal and really tries to please his customers by providing you with something that’s really worthwhile. Basically, he’ll dress up like a preacher and talk about pretty much any website that you want him to talk about (as long as it’s not something which violates his principles).
He does it in an accent like a southern preacher and I had him do a few videos for me where he preaches that being deeply in debt is the devil’s work, but the good folks at the Personal Finance Help Center can help you to get out of debt. The thing is, it’s really funny and kind of puts me in mind of the Geico obvious questions commercials. For five bucks, he’s a bargain.
Social Bookmarking
If you don’t want to be bothered with doing submissions yourself, this guy will take care of submitting your website or any page on the site to most of the popular social networks. Plus, he does it all manually meaning that you’re less likely to see your submissions deleted than if you used an automated service. For five bucks, not a bad deal.
Find Your Niche
I have not tried this one myself, but it has been highly recommended. Basically, if you’re not sure what kind of a website you should start which will actually make money for you, you can let this guy decide for you. For five bucks, he’ll do the research to find you some cool ideas which you can implement right now and which won’t have super heavy competition.
Get a Logo Made
I had found a guy I really liked for logos, but sadly, he seems to have dropped out of Fiverr. I guess he figured he could make more money selling his stuff elsewhere. However, this guy seems to have lots of satisfied customers and let’s face it – for five bucks, if you don’t like the logo he creates for your website, you could always just try again with someone else.
LinkedIn Connections
There are lots of places to get LinkedIn connections on Fiverr (to be honest, I’ve never done it myself because I never understood what the appeal was). This guy has the highest rankings for doing it though, so if you need to build your LinkedIn following, check it out.
I have my gigs on http://www.jiverr.com , a $10 scam free alternative to Fiverr. It pays me $6 .Whats so special about this site is that it safeguards the satisfaction of the buyer by giving Full return of their money if not happy.
Lol thanks for referring the preacher guy, I asked him to make a video for my site and maybe I’ll have him do some fun ones for other things if it turns out well :).
Oh yeah, he’s my favorite. I loved his stuff. And he’s really friendly too. If you’re not happy, he’ll redo it for you.
There are actually dozens of Fiverr alternatives, just as there are dozens of alternative search engines. However, just as Google still dominates, Fiverr still dominates this marketplace, for better or worse. Still, I wish you luck on Jiverr. I’ll have to check it out.
Another great gig I highly recommend from personal experience for Video Slideshow to promote my products or showcasing my new site features is:
http://fiverr.com/seoxplosion/create-a-lovely-video-slideshow-using-25-photos-with-music
While it is unlikely that you could ever live off the money you make from this site at nab5, a lot of people are tapping hidden talents to make some much needed cash.
Looks good. Next time I’m planning on a video, I’ll look into it. You may also want to consider offering to find photos for free as part of the deal since many people don’t have photos to use…
Very true. Especially with the economy being so shaky right now, even the $4 per gig you get (Fiverr keeps $1), can be helpful, especially if your gigs don’t require more than a few minutes of your time.
I have been on fiverr for a long time and my best investment was on this gig-http://fiverr.com/king112233/create-a-custom-logo-for-you
He fricken saved me 300 dollars and created the best logo i ever imagined and his customer support is the best!!
Other than that all the link building and blah blah blah is all crap!
People appreciate honesty. That under inflated tire is like the small business marketing plan that is under used or not
consistently applied. There are alot of websites which have been turn down
by the Google for using unlawful SEO method.
Just for the record, few SEO techniques are unlawful. Most often, you are referring to unethical techniques. You won’t go to jail for using most black hat SEO techniques but you may find your rankings get tanked (OTOH, there are some techniques which really are illegal but that’s for another discussion).
