Give Fiverr A Second chance...
I wanted to post a tip in this section because many of us in the web design/programming/graphics field have a better understanding of "how to" than most. But we love a challenge every now and then.
Getting paid for small jobs is a great way to keep our skills sharp and build up our confidence in our trade. Fiverr is a great platform for this...
All you need to do is get a screen capture program, and do a simple job. It can be something like creating a banner, editing a picture, making a basic squeeze page, adding a logo to a website...simple things that will take us no more than 5 minutes to complete.
Create a simple profile and then look for your competitors gigs and use their keywords. Your advantage is the fact that you show a live video of solving a problem..people think you are an expert.
Here are 2 gigs that I did
stevenles87: I will make your image look AWESOME for $5 on fiverr.com
stevenles87: I will design an awesome 3D eCover for your Ebook, DVD case or software box for $5 on fiverr.com
I love getting repeat customers because when people read the reviews, they see that im an expert. And if we love our trade, we get excited about using our skills or software
Now most of us would not use fiverr because of the low payout, but I urge you to see it as a motivator to help you stay focused and be more productive.
