I’d been hearing about Fiverr™, but I didn’t know anything about it nor had I ever visited their web site. I finally joined Fiverr™ sometime in June 2011, not as a seller but as a buyer.
To date I’ve ordered 12 different things or gigs™ as they are called on Fiverr™.
What the heck is Fiverr™?
Fiverr™ is a social media marketplace where users can buy or sell services or items for $5.00.
You can pay for a gig by PayPal or Fiverr’s™ own service called DamnQuickPay™. When you activate DamnQuickPay™ it will instruct PayPal to pay $5.00 from your account each time you click the Order Now button on the gig page.
You can search for gigs™ on Fiverr™ with their search feature, search by category, or view the Fiverr™ feed and sort by Auto, Popularity or Rating.

This site runs on the Thesis WordPress Theme
If you’re someone who doesn’t understand a lot of PHP, HTML, or CSS, Thesis will give you a ton of functionality without having to alter any code. For the advanced, Thesis has incredible customization possibilities via extensive hooks and filters. And with so many design options, you can use the template over and over and never have it look like the same site.
If you’re more familiar with how websites work, you can use the fantastic Thesis User’s Guide and world-class support forums to make more professional customizations than you ever thought possible. The theme is not only highly customizable, but it allows me to build sites with a much more targeted focus on monetization than ever before. You can find out more about Thesis below:
