Fiverr Asks Enterprising Users, 'What Will You Do For a Lincoln?'
Like a cross between Etsy and Craigslist, users auction off what they would be willing to do for five smackers: teach you basic Russian for a week, analyze your SEO, or even tweet about you ten times (if you got ten clients, you'd make $50 for 100 tweets. Not bad). Of course, the site also offers a couple more, erm, eccentric options, like the "Fun and Bizarre" section with offers of 'private' wake-up calls or personalized Irish ballads. Fiverr then monitors the "gigs" (yes, that's their name), confirms when they are complete, and then charges the recipient via Paypal.
Nothing like good, old-fashioned capitalism to get the youth of today pumped about working for a couple of bucks. A word of caution however: You get what you pay for. [From: TechCrunch]

Don't sell Fiverr short. I had a Puppet Show done for me by a puppeteering troupe in New York City. As a means of getting your work "out there", Fiverr is intriguing and full of potential.

.... don't waste a second trying to sell your work on there. After their fees you're not walking away with $5 a gig, more like $2-$3, also, they charge again just to send your monies to your Paypal account. They don't like to answer emails, and will take their time transferring your money to your Paypal account. I say create your own site and offer your gigs there, that way you actually get $5 a gig!
