I signed up today. It’s a marketplace for Services. If you can draw, Somebody will probably pay you to produce sketches. Need a harmonica player to record \* We Are the Champions? \* He’s probably out there too. 😃 Seems to be a wide variety of services offered. Anyone use Fiverr? Have you been satisfied with the work provided? Does Fiverr take Seller ratings as seriously as Ebay? ---

I’ve had many things done. Mostly graphic design or video work, some Wordpress coding too. No issues here. I love it for little projects. ---

Ditto - I’ve used it for voiceover work and graphic design, and have always been very happy with the quality-for-price. And if you’re thinking of being a vendor, do the math - some of the voice over folks I hired had to be making north of $50 an hour provided they had enough orders to queue, which is pretty decent for work-from-home piece work. But some others probably only got 1 or 2 orders a day, which probably isn’t worth their time. Where you fall on that is highly dependent on your qualify, referrals, and existing customer base, I’d imagine. ---

I don’t plan to sell any services. I needed someone to play flute on a music track. It’s kind of hard to find a musician that plays it regularly. Someone that played years ago in a high school band wasn’t going to work. I found a musician at a reasonable price. Figured it was worth a shot. I assumed Fiveer is primarily part-time work for many people. They have days jobs and Fiveer is a way to earn extra $$$$ without moonlighting as a cashier at a convenience store. ---

I forgot all about Fiverr. Things have changed. It used to be that everything cost $5 and it was for simple errands and such. It’s way more professional and expensive now. ---

I need to filter and see if there are any people offering local services. Running errands, filing etc. Would be great to find people that do stuff I really don’t have time for.
