I wish I’d created: Fiverr
Fiverr.com is a simple site where users offer things they’re willing to do for five bucks. I know what you’re thinking, but don’t worry, only a few offerings cross the line into PG-13 territory.
As soon as Stephanie at Infomedia gave me the link, I started thinking of ways I could use Fiverr (pronounce it “fiver”) to generate content for my site. After a rocky start (I bought a $5 logo), I started bookmarking people who would take a photo in front of a local landmark or otherwise write words in an interesting way.
I sent those people my new SpryLab logo (the good one, from 99designs), and forwarded them all fins via PayPal. In return, I met some awesome people, got a ton of great photos of my logo all over the world, a shot of my company name written in cappuccino foam, and a kanji stamp that I think says SpryLab in Japanese.
Of course, I also got the photo above, a creepy sock monkey with my logo photoshopped on it. Caveat chimptor. Watch SpryLab.com for more to come, including photos in France and England, and the logo on the side of a rally car racing across Europe.

I’ve been learning about Fiverr the past couple of days – Already found this nice little do-follow gig: http://fiverr.com/aty2010/create-over-150-dofollow-blog-comment-links-from-sites-including-pr1-pr2-and-pr3-urls .. I ordered one pointing at a recent article I wrote, very nice do-follow urls with a report
