Outsourcing nonsense is the future. I love Fiverr for being able to do this. It is a great piece and plan.

I travel a lot so this was super interesting for me. I LOVE the idea of creating location videos. Thank you! I make daily farm videos right here on substack (all very esoteric but well loved). So I love the medium too. I am going to pop over to Fiverr and see what it is all about.

I'm so glad you were able to pull something creative from this post and work with it. I really love sharing ideas and things I've done in the past to inspire someone (anyone!)

If you do farm videos, are you aware of Samantha Burns here on Substack? She does farm stuff as well and her posts are pretty amusing. https://samanthaburns.substack.com/

I’m a Fiverr fan. I’ve hired people on there for editing, book cover design, book blurbs, and logos. But it sure isn’t $5 anymore

Expand full comment

Nope it certainly isn't $5 anymore! I never understood how the people on there could survive on that money.

I love that you hired someone to write something in the sand because you were unable to do so yourself, nice work thinking outside the box!

I love Fiverr and have used the service of many excellent providers for a very long time and all of my experiences have been excellent. More recently I am on Fiverr selling my services as a mentor and coach and have run into a snafu with getting my own video uploaded. Perhaps I need to find a Fiverr consultant on Fiverr🤣

Haha have you searched Fiverr for a Fiverr consultant? Wouldn't that be funny.

I know! I never thought of it until I was writing that comment. Of course I could also do the work myself and watch all the tutorials they so kindly provide🤣

Lol true! But sometimes it's easier to pay someone. I swear, if I had money I'd hire all kinds of people to do things for me 😁 Cooking would be #1.

I had no idea Fivrr was so eclectic. This was awesome. I’m going to travel to Fivrr and explore.

Love the Jamaican you hired. 🥰👏

I'll have to consider coming back to Fiverr if there's more to it than El Cheapo gigs.

Expand full comment

David, it has come a LONG way since its beginnings of five-dollar gigs. It's actually quite surprising what you can find there nowadays and it's not el cheapo anymore!

Such fun and unique ways to use Fivrr. I used it once for a logo, but your ideas take it to a whole new level! Great post!

Thanks Heather. Yeah, I've used it for lots of graphic things over many years. But by far, these were the most fun!

I don't see myself as a destination blogger, but I always feel inspired by your examples of creativity, innovation, adventure, and happy chutzpah!

Love “Happy Chutzpah!” I think that’s exactly my word of the year…it should be an affirmation for how to live life! 👍👏👏👏😉

Expand full comment

Happy chutzpah is a phrase I'll never see twice on my posts 😁 As usual, thanks for always supporting me Jan!

I love this! Years ago, I hired someone on fiverr to draw a “Should Monster”— that voice that says, “you should blah blah blah”

Expand full comment

Omg 😂 That's so awesome. Do you have a picture of it?

There's a lot of talent on Fiverr, that's for sure!

Expand full comment

I have it somewhere. And it’s in a very old blog post…I’ll see if I can find it

Expand full comment

Awesome! I loved all those ideas and I’m not familiar with Fivrr so I’m gonna check it out!. Big finish applause’ 👏!!
