Look what I found for a fiver

Golly gosh, don't know how I missed out on this wonderful web site. Found it purely by accident yesterday and I've been browsing around and buying too.

So what is it, that I'm in love with now?

This great site called fiverr - is full of people with smashing skills , skills that most of us don't have and they offer their services for a fiver , yes $5! . 
Each service is what they call a "gig" and a "gig can range from someone designing a logo for your business , writing your cv, finding a birthday gift, drawing a cartoon character of you or knitting you a hat that they send through the post.

And I'm just thinking , when I don't have the time to mess about with photo editing tools or I can't for the life of me think of a new way of describing my products, can I find someone on fiverr that will do it for me?

And can fiverr provide me with some new ways of promoting my little business, can it help me manage my time more effectively, can it stop me just thinking about new business card designs and actually get me doing it.

Oh Yes ! I think it can.

So I looked around , brainstormed fiverr to see how it might help me sometime. I'm happy to share that with you today.
