      This isn't the place for advertising. Plus, no offense, but not many sellers are going to be interested in a website that gets less than 1% of the traffic as Fiverr but keeps 50% of fees

      I have used fiverr in the past for getting high .edu and .gov backlinks and videos.

      And it works very well for me and it gives a very significant boost to my SEO efforts. Just be careful though, like any other sites, some just don't deliver very well..

    For SEO, youtube views, tweets, likes, and video testimonials and other video requests Fiverr does a great job. Not too pleased with their FB Timeline covers and Blog headers though.. you get what you pay for.

    For the graphic stuff, you're still best going to Odesk or Freelancer.

    I ended up re-doing mine myself.

      I have used fiverr many times before. Like said above you get what you pay for but there are some very good quality Fiverr deals out there. Just be careful before you buy.

      Best Regards,

      David

    Have a look at the reviews of the gigs before you hire them. I have found this useful in finding guys who deliver on time and quality work.

    Ya, I bought on fiverr before, but well, I didn't really like how they'd set things up.

    You can't follow up with the person. They won't respond. So, if things don't work after a while, you're stuck with their useless job with no hope to get your money back or get corrections.

    I use Fiverr alot for both purchasing and selling and I have had great results from it. Took me a while to start to get orders and become familiar with how Fiverr worked. Once you get established with Fiverr and you start getting a slow steady amount of reviews you will soon see a good flow of interest in order I found.

    Content is quite popular if you can optimize your gigs.

    I was hired from a Real Estate company from there quite some time back, so potential is around but I wouldn't solely rely on it.

      Hi,
      Fiverr has it's place but make sure and deal with the highest ranking gig sellers only. Fiverr is good for Twitter, traffic, Facebook fans, Logo creation and short tasks. At least that has been my experience.

      Hope that helps,
      E

    I also use it for edu and gov links. I try to find the service that posts manually, not the one that posts the most.

    I use Fiverr all the time. You just need to look over the reviews carefully. The other thing to watch out for is gig extras. More and more sellers are giving less for $5 and using extras to charge $10-$20 more. There are still plenty of good options available though at $5.

    Well, my experience with Fivver was TRULY HORRIBLE! I tried 3 different services and all were useless. Not only was the result POOR ( I could have done it in 10 min) but there was no communications afterwards.

    I ordered a Squidoo lense once. It looked nice but then Squidoo locked it. I later found out that the little weasel I had hired simply copied and pasted the content into a new lense. He didn't even change the pics. I got in touch with him and never got anything back. I gave up as I had wasted enough time there but I'll never go there again. Much prefer the Warrior for hire section.

    You want to outsource or sell services there?

    I personally do both and really like fiverr and other gig sites.

    Cheers,

    Paid for a virtual assistant results were inadequate, the person did not speak English very well and did not understand the instructions given, be sure to specifically talk with the person for hire before you send payment.

    I have used, and still use fiverr - with the payoneer card it is a great little side earner and I've also bought some pretty decent stuff on there. If you're selling be sure to find gigs that don't take a huge portion of your time or it's really not worth it.

    I have used Fiverr a few times. There are some gems in there, but do not expect much in terms of quality... remember, it is only five bucks.

    you aren't specific , but be careful, you get what you pay for.
    Not to say that there isn't any good gig there, because there is.
    Always click the ratings when you search for a gig
    If it sounds to good to be true (like 1000000 visitors etc.) then it probably is!

      sometimes, reviews is fake. they rent someone to write reviews

      i met a "great seller" , there are many good reviews
      I ordered it, he gave me poor traffic
      50000 click but I just received 14 click
      I put a comment: "bad gig", he says "please remove your review, i will refund"
      ......

    I use fiverr for non marketing tasks like graphics and content. So far everything looks good. Good value for money. But of course you need to read the feedback as well so you know you are only getting quality work.

    As a buyer you got advantage most of the time. As a seller, either you win or stuck somewhere. Like I offer wordpress related gig but same job which I can do at odesk in $40, sometimes I have to do it in $5 or $10. No not a worth of my time. I started this gig to promote my other gigs (which did not work as I expected, unfortunately)
