Great Resource for Wellness Pros: Fiverr.com
/My husband Drew, always ahead of the technology curve, discovered Fiverr.com via one of Seth Godin's book. Fiverr.com is a fun, quirky and also quite practical resource for getting all kinds of stuff done for your business for only $5. Yes, you read correctly. Five bucks.
And it's also a great resource for a quick laugh (some of the things people will do for $5 is laugh out loud funny.)
Drew had his hand writing turned into a font (you can see how he used it in the images of this blog post) and also paid $5 a customized graphic for his Facebook professional page (it's the image on the upper left hand side of his FB page).
Why are people doing this? It's an unusual way to get the word out about their business for sure. The idea being, if you like what I gave you for $5, perhaps you'll invest in something else I'm doing. Some are doing it just for fun. Others to build a portfolio. Who knows. No need to think about it too much. It's only five bucks. If what you paid for stinks, it's not a big loss.
The point: Gone are the days where you have to invest a lot to get attractively designed marketing materials. No more excuses not to have a personalized web presence.
Have fun at Fiverr.com.
To your continued success,
Karin
