“Ek sé fokken whoa!”
Posted by Don Packett under Marketing , Music , PR , Web/Tech on June 2 2010 at 11:33 AMA few months ago I was introduced to Fiverr, a service where you can either sell or buy something, particularly a service, for $5. The administrators make a buck off every sale and you get to pocket the remaining $4. Simple enough.
The services range from promising more Facebook fans to positively reviewing products to listening to your life story on Skype, the list goes on and on and they range from very normal to very, very bizarre. To date I’ve only used it for small translations for work, but then I found this guy: The young, Canadian Alex Buckingham. He said that he’d write and record a song all about YOU for a mere $5. So I thought “Fuck it, why not?”
With the brief “Have a look at my website and some of my vids to get a sense of what I’m like”, I paid the 5 bucks and this is the fun (auto-tuned) result I got the next day, too awesome. Thanks Al.
Now go and get yours done! Tell him Don sent you.

Hahah, awesome.
I used Fiverr recently to have some linux bash scripts written – was impressed with the service I got from the guy who did the work.

Haha, Lesego, I’d love to know the answer. I’ve based my theory on your big, um, personalities.

Not worth the 5 bucks.

Shame Tim, clearly $5 means more to you than to most people. It’s fair enough you probably have to pump-petrol 5 times to earn that much.
