Fiverr has become a great place for individuals and businesses around the world for outsourcing small tasks for relatively cheap and effectively. Imagine that you are a marketing company from Spain and you need a sound in English for a video, describing your product.

You can hire a professional translator who can do the job, but most probably you would pay big for this... You can also find a gig by a native speaker, offering the same service. You pay $5 and you get the voice recorded for you in no time. You can even try several similar gigs and pick the best one. From happy birthday songs from Santa to tips for improving your business, on Fiverr you can find anything...

Fiverr was founded by two young entrepreneurs from Israel. Micha Kaufman and Shai Wininger created the site, driven by the idea that the normal 9 hours working day is not the only way to earn your income.

They wanted to create a place, where people can sell their skills to the world, without even leaving their homes. The price of $5 dollars was set for each offer, so everything on the site gets affordable for a broad range of people from around the world.

No matter who you are or where you are from, if you can do something well, you can create a gig on Fiverr and offer it to the world. Hundreds of thousands of people - moms, dads, boys and gals offer their services there, and some of them make a decent income this way.

You can play the guitar - you can offer guitar records for any song, you can write - you can offer articles for $5, you know about homeopathy - you can consult people. The possibilities are unlimited. You can barely imagine how many thing can be offered for 5 bucks.

Fiverr has been constantly evolving and today it offers many new features to its users. By the beginning of 2012, there were more than 700 000 different gigs offered on the site and their number have been constantly increasing.
