Fiverr.com is a new website that allows anyone to post a job or task that they will complete for $5. (technically $4 because Fiverr takes $1 from each transaction)
I've personally found Fiverr to be a great asset in promoting some of my various websites. For example I paid for a gig that had my site backlink blasted to thousands of blog comments using Xrumer. I'm still in the process of seeing how well it turns out for me, but I did receive a detailed report including all of the links. There are many other Fiverr gigs that offer to create back links, comment posts, tweets, become fans of your facebook page, etc. You can also find someone willing to write website content for $5. The list is pretty much endless... Just be careful of who you choose. Fiverr members can leave feedback, so look for users with a good feedback rating.
On the flip side, you can make a killing on Fiverr by choosing a successful gig and making money on it. I have made money on Fiverr by tweeting for other people (I paid another Fiverr member to build up my twitter following), by posting links on my websites, and for creating a road trip. Anything that you can do for someone else that you feel has value, you can probably find a buyer. Just be careful that you aren't spending hours performing the job, else it will not be worth your efforts for $4 ! Be creative. Try to find out what others are doing to make money and then offer more or better service, or add a twist to what the are doing. Then use facebook, blogs, and twitter to advertise your gig. Good luck!

Hi, this is Nicole from vWorker.com (formerly known as Rentacoder.com). Like Fiverr, vWorker provides access to a wide variety of jobs, but the services available at Fiverr could limit success. Consider the following:
1. Fiverr limits earning to $4 regardless of the work involved, expertise provided and/or required, and hours worked.
2. Paypal seems to be Fiverr's only payment processor.
3. Fiverr offers no arbitration details tho they suggest internal dispute resolution through a contact form.
vWorker offers unlimited bidding without price restraints of any kind so that you can charge what your work is really worth. It also makes and accepts payments via PayPal, Western Union, Payoneer or snail-mail check. And vWorker offers full arbitration on all projects free of charge plus it additionally publicizes the detailed rules of how arbitrators make their decisions.
If you have any questions, feel free to call in to talk to a facilitator, or send email through the site's feedback form.
