The best kept secret in Internet Marketing, hidden in plain sight
Ok, it’s not really a secret. Or, maybe it is. I suppose it’s a secret to you if you don’t know it, right?
I’m talking about fiverr.com, the original source of services for $5, or a “fiverr”.
I’m certainly not the most experienced at using fiverr. But, I’ll get there.
The business model is incredibly simple. What are you willing to do for $5. Nothing you think? Thing again. I’ll bet that there are all kinds of things that you can do in a few minutes. Why? Because, that is just how skill sets are. I can do things in minutes that others require hours or even days to accomplish. But, before I started using fiverr, I never really even thought about it.
This is the question you should be asking yourself. What are those things that I can do in minutes?
IF YOU CAN LINE UP 6 ten minute jobs, then, do the arithmetic. That’s $30 per hour of revenue. Many, many people would be willing to work for that. Are you?
Here is a great example. I met “chrisdesign” simply buying his $5 gig for the expressed purpose of asking him questions about how he uses fiverr. The reason I picked him out of thousands of fiverr users, is because he is a fiverr rated “top seller”. On fiverr, a “top seller” is one of the folks doing the most business there.
Let’s say that you run an ecommerce store. You have a line of products and associated photos. One day you think, “I should replace that old picture on my home page with a slide show!”. But, HEY, you don’t know how! It would take you hours to work out how to make a slide show, and you just don’t have time to learn.
You just need the slide show. What do you think that costs on fiverr?
It’s $5 right here: http://bit.ly/Great-SlideShows-for-FIVE-Dollars
Have a look. This is a real business, by chrisdesign.
