We all could use a little extra cash. With high unemployment rates, a new marketplace where people are buying and selling services for $5 flat per “gig” has been created. The days of high rates and tedious bids for simple projects are gone. Elance and ODesk certainly have their place and established freelancers.

Founded in February 2010, Fiverr.com is the pioneer in this market. You may be an expert at something or willing to do certain things that others can’t or won’t. You may be looking for a service on the cheap. If you own a business, you may be looking to outsource a task or upsell a service.

You create a seller account, profile, and gig. When someone orders your gig, he or she will pay $5 when the project is completed. Fiverr takes a clean cut of $1 per payment received.
