While it may sound a lot less to work for less than a fiver today, I still think it's a great way to get started. If you think I'm talking gibberish, just bear with me. I'll tell you where and how you can start making money....very little money to start with but with a potential to build up with time....Now, I'm not asking you to do several hours of laborious jobs for a fiver. You can do anything, and that means absolutely ANYTHING!
If you've ever Googled up for freelance jobs, you might have come across freelance websites like like Fiverr, Smobs, Fivesquids and many other similar ones where people sell small services for $5 or £5. With over 200 million gigs selling and more being added each and every day, Fiverr turns out to be the most popular among these.
Did I mention you can sell anything on Fiverr? I suppose so. You don't need to have a particular skill or talent to become a seller on Fiverr or other similar websites. Just spend a couple of minutes to sign in and start selling. If you're good at singing, dancing, juggling, painting or anything similar, Fiverr has a vacancy waiting for you. If you can draw, sell your art. If you can write, sell your stories. If you're good at designing, sell your creativity. If you're pretty and can attract clients with your charms, become a model and pose for your clients' Ad. If you've got a good voice, do a voice-over for people's videos.
But what if you think good at nothing? Tell you what- you can still hold a sign with your client's message on or dress up like a popular cartoon character or superhero and say this message. If you live near a popular place or monument, go there and shoot a video of yourself or take pictures with your clients' brand name. You may even write a client's message on various mediums: sea shells, eggs, pebbles, rocks or anything unique you can come up with.
Just offer anything you can do for less than $5 or £5. However, do not be prompted to not over exert yourself for such a small amount! Freelancing websites like Fiverr will always take away their cut. It is $1 for every $5 of sales that you make on Fiverr leaving you with only $4. But when you withdraw this sum to your Paypal or bank account, Paypal or your bank will also charge you a fee leaving you with even less to play with.
As a freelance writer, I know writing an original piece takes a lot of time and effort. It may not be the best market place for mid-career or established writers but it would serve as a great starting place for those who are just starting out. Fiverr might give you a very low profit for it all. You will have to struggle a lot initially, but once you have a fairly good reputation built there, you are bound to be getting quite a lot of work which will keep you going.... At some point in future, I'll try to share some of the most interesting gigs selling on Fiverr here to give you plenty of ideas to work with.
Go on, give it a shot! Come up with a unique idea and it'll sell. Trust me, everything sells!
