Micro Job Sites

Is it me or has the introduction of Fiverr really set off a huge rush for micro

job websites? If you?ve yet to experience the awesome that is Fiverr allow me to

explain: Fiverr is a website where people will post random jobs and do each for

$5.

Already there have been thousands of listings from tweetings articles, creating

design work, recording audio, producing video and much more all for just $5 a

pop.

It didn?t take long for this idea of micro job websites to catch on and now we?re

seeing quite a rise in competitive websites just like Fiverr.

The following are seven micro job websites where you can earn an additional $5,

$10 or $20 doing simple jobs of your choosing.

What are all these micro job sites and how can I make money from them?

Here?s the basics of each of these websites:

* A person can place a micro job for the certain amount each website offers

$1, $5, $10, whatever

* Micro jobs can be virtually anything people want to try selling (design,

consulting, etc)

* A client can buy these services, alert the seller and have the job done

within a few hours or days

* Everyone wins

The main appeal of these websites are that they?re quickie freelance job boards.

The large freelance boards require long signs up sand project details but this

gets right down to the essentials so each job can be done in a relative short

amount of time.

But the real question is ?how do I make money with Fiverr and other micro job

websites??. Here?s a few quick tips:

* Offer something unique. Everyone has begun to post the same type of jobs

because these websites are becoming so flooded so your job is to find the one

thing you?re great at and what makes it unique in comparision to the others.

* Post on each board. Just because Fiverr has the lion?s share of traffic

related to this niche doesn?t mean you can?t benefit from posting elsewhere ? in

fact, post the same job in another marketplace! You may as well try because you

never know when a client may bite even if the same service is offered for less

(or more) elsewhere.

* Show some proof. Have someonthing to offer? Show how you?ve done it before

? especially the benefits. If you?re talking about how you?re going to tweet

their message to 100,000 followers ? show a screenshot so people can see the

process.

* Don?t over-do it. Just because you have a flurry of clients in queue

doesn?t mean it?s worth the time. Really ask yourself if this small pay is worth

it in comparision to going after a client which would pay more for just a bit of

extra time dedicated to the project.

* Make it templateable. People aren?t coming to Fiverr and other micro job

sites for the best they can buy ? they realize they?re getting quick, cheap work.

Create templates out of everything you do so you can maximize your time when

doing each task.

* Work on your copy. Your title and ad copy is what?s going to get you the

job ? keep experimenting like you with with a great headline or advertising

message until you?ve found one that converts ? then, keep testing!

Most importantly, keep trying out different jobs. Over time, each job is going to

become saturated in the market so re-craft each of your jobs with something

unique and with the times ? always tell the benefits, not the techical jargon

that people don?t really care about.
