I have said time and time again that just because you can do something doesn’t mean that you should! As you may know, I am a huge believer in outsourcing your life – it saves you time, energy, and the stress of juggling too many things at once.
There are so many great outsourcing apps out there that I have reviewed before like WunWun, and TaskRabbit, but for today’s “Fab Find” I want to introduce you to another hire-for-help website I just discovered called Fiverr.
Fiverr is one of the largest marketplaces for service, but it differs from other outsourcing sites. Every task is only $5.00 – how awesome (and cheap) is that?! Other sites will get the job done, but it can get pricey depending on what you need done.
The site offers 11 different categories of services to search through. You can find anything from graphics and designs to gift giving help. You are also able to review and rate each seller. This is helpful because you can browse through and see who would be best for your needs.
There are thousands of talented people waiting to help you at a great price. Here are some ways that Fiverr could help you:
– Create a logo for business or personal use
– Make unique business cards
– Have someone create a personalized workout for you
– Get a Spanish lesson
– You can even hire a celebrity impersonator!
You can also use your skills to get hired and make some cash while doing something you enjoy. To sell a service – you create a “gig”, post it on the site, and you will be notified when someone orders it.
(However they do take 20% of your earnings!)
I know it’s hard at first to let others do things for you, but trust me, you will be so happy in the end that you did. Time is a valuable thing – so use it wisely by outsourcing your life 🙂
“I’m so busy?” It’s an excuse, an apology and sometimes a greeting. Did you know that this “go to” saying might actually be making you less productive? We often attribute our busyness to being as sign of the times, that in this technological age we are all working longer hours and taking on more responsibilities. But were our predecessors really any less busy? Without modern luxuries like a dishwashers and microwaves, previous generations had as many time consuming tasks as we do.
