Tuesday Tip: Sell Your Talent for Five Bucks

by

Have you seen Fiverr®? I could write the explanation but it’d be better (and way more fun) if you just go and read the front page. And then dash right back here, because honestly, you will get happily lost in that rabbit hole.

See what I mean? And that’s just the “featured” group of talent going for five bucks. Zip around a bit and you’ll find all kinds of things that folks will do for five bucks. I mean, nice things that folks will do. SO many artists and writers and musicians and…well, just super creative types out there, with super creative services to sell.

I’m not sure that a freelancer is going to get rich there–heck, I’m not even sure a freelancer will make five bucks with Fiverr®–but I am smitten with this site. It’s like a whole bunch of five-year olds, raising their hands, trying to get their mommies’ attention. “Look what I can do! Watch this! Look at this!”

And I racked my five-year-old brain parts, trying to come up with some quirky writing talent that I could sell for five bucks. So far, my super creative side’s been a bust.

Probably because it fell into Fiverr® and can’t get out.

 

Friday’s Fun Find: Do You Know The Muffin Blog?

If you’re new here, you might not have noticed that I’m a regular contributor over at The Muffin. That’s the blog all about writing at WOW!Women-on-writing (also a WONDERFUL resource for writers, no matter what you write!).

Just yesterday, I blogged about a moment a few weeks ago, when I tried on a coat and it didn’t fit. That moment led to a sort of writing moment and…well. You can read all about it here. You’ll feel better about your writing after reading it, I promise.

Know what else can make you feel better about your writing? Writing.

Seems simple, I know, but many of us talk about writing and never quite get any writing finished. And so I’m going to direct you to today’s post at The Muffin wherein we’re looking for YOU to contribute. The Friday Speak Out posts aren’t paying gigs, but they are good writing practice, especially for those of you who need to work on seeing your writing through.

And for those of you who simply have a lot to share when it comes to writing, here’s a way to get out there and connect with a whole new bunch of readers. Or maybe you’d like a nice writing credit. Perhaps it’ll lead to a gig as a paying contributor to a blog.

I mean, how do you think I got the job at The Muffin?
