Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap: A Fiverr Spotlight for Authors and Bloggers

Can anyone reasonably expect quality work for five bucks?

I’m serious.

Besides a cup of coffee or a vending machine snack, when was the last time you received anything of value for five dollars?

I remember when Fiverr first arrived, more than a decade ago.

I purchased a few gigs to check out the quality.

Needless to say, I was disappointed. Two of my first three purchases resulted in refunds for misleading advertising (and outright fraud).

In its early days, Fiverr was overrun with unscrupulous vendors. Over the years, thanks to feedback ratings and gig upgrades, it’s evolved into a viable outsourcing platform, connecting buyers and sellers with specific skills and needs.

Fiverr’s come a long way, and it deserves a second look, especially for multitasking authors needing advertising banners, social media headers, book covers, voice-overs, promotional video editing, website graphics, and more.

There’s never enough time or money to complete everything on your own.

So, take a look at these diverse, writer-centric offers. You can thank me later 🙂
