Phil Henderson just sent this link to his list.

Amazingly, there was no affiliate link!

Anyway, it's http://www.fiverr.com/

People advertise on there for what they will do for $5. Personal assistant, record a rap song, send out a message to their thousands of Twitter or Facebook friends. There was even one woman on there that said she would record a video of herself saying anything you wanted her to. LOL

But it's pretty cool. check it out.

I recently discovered this site when I was looking for a press release writer, I also found some funny offers there Smile

Infinity · 05-25-2010, 12:04 AM

Interesting! Big Grin

Might be a good place to look for outsourcing work!

**Jack** · 05-25-2010, 12:07 AM

Yes, I was thinking that too. There was another person offering to get you 1,000 twitter followers. I haven't been doing the Twitter thing yet.

Also, having someone send out a message to their large Twitter list looks interesting too.

CoolyKid · 05-25-2010, 04:27 AM

Some quite hilarious offers there, but also some very interesting ones - could be quite a good find!

Infinity · 05-25-2010, 04:52 AM

Also, I found it to be a good way to get some money making ideas! Smile

Seriously, a lot of these ideas could be turned into their own websites offering just that type of service.

A funny one: I will call your boss and give them a piece of your mind, anonymously for $5

Thanks Jack,

I actually found this site really interesting (and a bit of a time waster in a good way lol) but as Infinity says there are plenty of ideas on the site we could use to our own advantage and niches.

Ive actually just placed an order for 2 video testimonials for $10 lol I thought I might as well have a go and see what the result is like. Whatever happens can just upload them to youtube with a backlink to my site so its worth $10 for a no headache vid in my opinion.....lets see how it turns out!

**Jack** · 05-25-2010, 06:46 AM

Ha ha yeah I spent some of my valuable time at work today looking around on that site. Very interesting some of the offers!

I will take up some of those people on their offers myself soon.

Definitely let us know how it turns out for you!

Jack

My goodness, am I bad for being tempted to have that girl put my name on her forehead with a sharpie?! Shy

That is really a cool idea. Smile

Thanks infinity and yes Jack I am very tempted to take up several offers sometimes I forget that $5 adds up if you start taking on a whole bunch of different activities. But I think the site could be utilised to help our promotions in different ways if we think outside the box a little.

Ill let you guys know how the 'testimonial video' goes I may end up making a few and perhaps a video review too while I am at it. Talking of video did any other members of Linkdozer receive a message from Kristina about a video seo plugin for wordpress? It looks tempting but not sure I want to fork out $77 for it but what is interesting is the talk of google now having a video sitemap, that was new information to me. Anyway would be nice to know if anyone is taking up the offer or what you guys think of it.

**Jack** · 05-26-2010, 06:46 AM

I got the email from her too. But if you get it through her it was at a reduced price. I think it was $57?

I didn't get it but was tempted to. I just don't do much video right now. It would be nice though, to have your video ranking in the serps directly from your blog bypassing the video sites.

CoolyKid · 05-26-2010, 07:05 AM

Yes, I received the offer from Kristina for a discounted price and then watched Mark Dulisse's video. I then did the same searches on Google that he had used and could not see his videos in the SERP's.

I figured, that while the plugin may well get your video to the first page it appears to be fleeting only and of no value long term. That being the case, plus the fact that I have to host the videos added to the price tag turns me off it somewhat!

livonian · 05-26-2010, 11:04 AM

Chris Freville and Mark Dulisse will offer similar plugin with their "Dominating Google" course, the price is $197 though. Maybe they give it away in a pre-launch, but I don't think so.

lanjik902 · 05-26-2010, 02:06 PM

This site shows people are ready to do anything for money. But damn 5$!!!!!

jnshield · 05-26-2010, 04:03 PM

Yeah I feel the same way given we would have to host our own videos and the fact that at present I am hardly doing anything with the video side of marketing.

On the other hand it has given me a kick to start thinking of doing something and to vary the way I attack the SERPs video is only going to get stronger in the long run. I also notice more and more news stories with links to affiliate sites ranking at the top effectively taking the number 1 spot, so press releases is another area to look into.....so much to do lol

jrhicks · 05-27-2010, 08:53 AM

Hey,

Thanks, for that $5 site. It's rather interesting. $5 isn't much, but it sure can add up quickly for both advertiser and consumer. I think the tweeting to a larger twitter list is nice. Don't know if it would be worth it however. Well it's only 5 bucks to test!

Anyways Thanks, Roger

Full Metal · 05-27-2010, 06:45 PM

Very funy to see what some people will do for $5 :-)

llyndonium · 09-02-2010, 12:32 AM

So now it's been around a while, has anyone found Fiverr any good for us IM people?

There are a lot of offers of EDU GOV and high PR links around. Also some Xrumer offers for 1,000s of links. Anyone bought any yet?

Seashell · 09-04-2010, 09:31 PM

Did you notice that you can buy SE Nuke for $ 5 ?

Here's another brand new one. $5 $10 $20 with some pretty decent offers in the $20 range but if all you want is someone to pray for you 3 times by tomorrow it's only $5 http://www.justafive.com/

I did purchase some .edu and .giv. links last week and forgot about them. Thanks for reminding me. I'll go see what I can find out - if anyone wants any I won't be using them all, -->>I'll just put a link here if that's okay. Then you can test them out & see what you get. --->>They are posted on the next page!! I'm usually late but I always get there sooner or later - usually later, that's all.

Be back later.
