Best Fiverr Gigs of 2012
Many online business owners make the mistake of trying to do everything themselves.
Graphic design. WordPress setup. eCover design. Facebook Fan Page Creation. Twitter Background. Tech Support. Transcription. Video Submissions. Press Release Submissions. And sooooo much more.
You simply can NOT do it all yourself.
Not if you want to create a successful business during this century :)
Fortunately, there are sites like Fiverr where you can start outsourcing VERY affordably.
If you haven’t yet taken the leap into outsourcing, Fiverr is one of the best places to start.
They’ll do everything from article writing, link building, video submissions, press release submission, video intros and more! For the small business owner, it’s a dream come true.
And in this article I’m going to share with you my all-time favorite Fiverr gigs
for 2012.
So that you don’t have to waste your time scouring through hundreds of gigs and reviews.
We’ve compiled together the very best Fiverr gigs for the online business owner and blogger…
1. Press Release Submission

Thanks for you passing on your best fiverr gigs. I have been using fiverr for a few months now and was getting to the point where I was thinking of not using there services anymore as found it frustrating that most of the gigs the work was not done at all, gigs where I posted a question only to get no reply and had work done that wasn’t anything like what the brief was.
So your post was very good timing :)

I thought I was the only one doing this..
I use teamwork project managment tool and I document all the steps I need to accomplish for a given routine.
then I find a gig for each one on fiverr. it takes a bit of time upfront to find a good gig for each step but once you have it mastered you can accomplish what used to take you a week in a matter of days for like 50 bucks. :)
there is so many good gigs its unreal, you can have 20 people working for you at once for $100 bucks. and they are all specialized and do it 10 times faster than you ever could :)
Great post. more people should be leveraging fiverr.

Love being able to outsource….I”m actually a “do-it-myself” type of person because the challenges help me grow in knowledge and skill. But, over time, it’s like you say, you really can’t do it all yourself. There’s too much involved. There’s lots of people willing to help and want to earn money online also, so why not be a blessing and give them a job to do…it’s a win-win situation.

I’m always cautious about outsourcing anything to Fiverr – yes it’s only $5, but the cost of someone messing up your business far outweighs the price of the gig.
But it’s really useful to know who you have used and recommend. I’m liking the look of the video distribution services. I’ve been meaning to post my solitary video to sites other than Youtube lol. Haven’t even gotten around to doing that!. But at least if I get someone to do the posting, I can then focus on actually getting some more videos made.

Hi Kim,
Excellent post and you are 100% correct. I’ve tried the wear all hats way and it’s not only time consuming but impossible. I have had logos created, intro videos and other task that either I didn’t have time to dedicate to it or didn’t have the software or equipment to produce it.
Why spend a ton of money on a piece of software when you can just have someone do it for you for a small fee.
Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing again.
Enjoy your sunny day. Being in Florida, we get a few of those and they are nice.

Well, it’s possible, but involves a lot of hard labour (and stress) until you get it to a remarkable level. For you to focus on what will move your business ahead, you need help for that busy work stuff. And you’ve provided some really good & cost-effective ideas.

Anytime i run a good link check on these, I am getting a very low # though when you go to the actual page, the link appears to be hyperlink but when you check the code, its not.
are you putting links somewhere else for these to count?

If you’ve got a great ebook (instructional, introductory or just information that people can use) that you can sell for 5-bucks profitably, Fivrr is also a great place to move a lot of copies profitably. But you can’t just sell it out right, simply tell them you will “TEACH” them how to (whatever it is you’re selling) for five bucks. works like a charm and can also be easily promoted via Craigslist and email marketing, which by the way is FAR FROM DEAD.

There is no doubt that Fiverr can be a great resource. There are many gigs that would well be worth over 100 dollars. So therefore why not take the advantage and use them.
Thank you for pointing out these wonder gigs, I now know which ones to look out for.

This is something really interesting. With the new developments in my business and the changes in my directions, I was thinking about a Press Release. I was considering PRweb and the cost for a decent package it bit high. Glad I found the article and the service by Nishmeh in fiverr.
I have used fiverr for some small jobs and this service is pretty good. And the best part is, he is even offering the professionally written PR for an additional $5!

I love fiverr!!! There are some good sellers on there (like myself :-) ). But there’s also a lot of sellers who are looking to make a quick buck without providing anything of any true value. Some services seem good but offer no real proof of delivery, which baffles me. You just have to take your time and make sure you pick the right seller. For me, fiverr is a great way to test services (mobile web design, etc). I definitely offer more than expected. I work hard to please my customers because its a real business. Not only that, but I’ve noticed my over-the-top work ethics build trust and loyal customers. I get repeat buyers and they even order my tip gig, so i must be doing something right. :-)
