I stumbled up on this website last week, thanks to an article on Techcrunch. Let me tell you, I’ve never had so much fun with a website. Granted it only $5 a job and I’m getting paid way below minimum wage, but it’s turning into a great lead generation tool.

I have three offers available now:

  1. I will write 10 tweets about you in a week for $5
  2. I will write 5 comments with SEO backlinks to your site for $5
  3. I will answer 1 question on how to improve your online marketing efforts for $5

The site has become fairly popular the past few days and the servers have been really so. There have even been $5 offers from site visitors to help improve Fiverr’s servers, but hopefully the website will increase in popularity and increase their site bandwidth.

In a matter of 3 days, I’ve received 12 orders and I meeting a lot of great people that I normally wouldn’t have access to.

Check out Fiverr

Here a tips on how to save money by purchasing online. Before your next purchase, take these steps which will help save you more money:

1. Research the product you want through review sites like CNET or Amazon.
2. Once you know what product you want, go to Google Product Search and find the lowest price (make sure the retailer selling the product is reputable – don’t go cheap for cheap sake).
3. Go to websites like Retailmenot.com, CouponCabin.com, or Slickdeals.net for coupons for that retailer.
4. Join a loyalty program like Ebates.com, Bing Cashback, or most likely your credit card will have a cash back program.
5. Then take these steps:

Clear your web browser cookies -> Go to the loyalty program website and click on the retailer you want to purchase from -> At checkout, use the coupon code you found
