I will be using that soon very soon as well to outsource small tasks and will be reporting here. I'd be interested in hearing others' experience with using that site.

I just came across it yesterday and it looks interesting and could be of some use to me on a number of internet projects I've got going.

I've used Fiverr. It's a shockingly cool service.
The desperation level in the U.S. is at epic proportions due to a struggling job market. My guess is people are unwilling to take a job for minimum wage due to shame but they have less reservations to spend 30 minutes on a task for $5.

This is pretty cool, the $10.000 question is however - what kind of stuff would be good to outsource to this kind of venue? I realize the potential but can't come up with any good examples off the top of my head.

Vicious, take a look through the projects and services posted, a lot of them are things that I plan on using as I develop and launch my blog and e-products.
I'm mostly going to get graphic design and video editing stuff done.
If the outcome isn't amazing, whatever it's five bucks.
You can also hire people for one hour to be your virtual assistant. This is preferable to me, as I've always thought about hiring a VA but it turns out I usually just need someone to do some menial task that takes 1-3 hours that I don't want to do.

Yeah, for sure. Gotta be careful with that kind of thing, as speakeasy says.
Fiverr is good for low level work that you need cranked out within 24 hours.

Bump.
I have spent the last hour outsourcing things to fiverr and I will continue to do so for the next couple of hours.
A lot of these providers are actually US based and seem to be young unemployed people.
This website is a lifesaver for bootstrapping entrepreneurs.

Last night I outsourced:
-Backlinking
-Keyword Research
-Web Research
-Graphic Design - logo, banner
-Social Media Marketing
-500 word content contribution (article)
Total cost - $20
Yes, fiverr has five dollar gigs and I listed six gigs above there, which should bring the total to $30. It's because the virtual assistant I hired for two hours did three of those tasks.
This saved me at least two week's worth of work, if you include the amount of time it would have taken me to learn how to do graphic design well.
My favorite by far was the graphic design and the "I will be your virtual assistant for 2 hours for $5".

If anyone has that list to hand that Sardino talks about could they send it to me? I'm going to use fiverr for a few things I'll be doing soon.
