Fiverr Alternatives: Other Sites to Sell or Buy at a Fiver



There are lots of Fiverr alternatives. Some of them are good but very few are anywhere near as good as the Fiverr website.

However, when you want somewhere different to sell or buy things for $5, they are worth considering. Here are a few of my favourites and ones that I offer a few gigs on.

Fivesquids

This is one of the greatest Fiverr alternatives for those in the UK as it is all in UK pounds. I’ve had a few sales through this website but nothing as much as I get from Fiverr. I don’t put the effort in it though that I do the original micro-job website.

Fivesquids also have different levels. After you gain a certain amount of positive feedback or if you are willing to pay for the service each month, you can start offering gigs at £10, £20 and even £50.

GigBucks

This is one of the Fiverr alternatives that has tried to take the Fiverr idea and make it their own. Instead of just offering the chance to sell for $5 and add gig extras, it offers the chance to sell and buy from $5 and anything up to $50; just for a single gig.

This could be beneficial for those who have something bigger to offer. Web designers and graphical artists will find that it could be more worthwhile; if you can get the sales.

Fourerr

This is an obvious alternative to Fiverr. Instead of offering gigs for $5, the sellers offer gigs for $4. That’s great for the buyers but not the best for sellers. However, if you can find something that just needs automating or is already created and you just click to add for the delivery, it could bring in more revenue since people want to spend less.

Tenrr

Another site that is just as it sounds. It allows sellers to offer gigs for up to $10, but it could be as something as small as $1. I like this site for some of its protection for sellers. Before a gig is order, the buyers have to send job requests. Only once the seller confirms the work can an order be placed. It solves many of the issues on Fiverr.

The people at Tenrr don’t take fees for the work and allow the sharing of contact details. This helps to arrange for extra work, personal payments and many other things. The owners know that it works as a meeting place. However, there is more protection staying on this one of the Fiverr alternatives for both buyers and sellers.

So, when you want a break from the monopoly Fiverr seems to have become, it may be worth looking out for some of the other options. There are plenty of Fiverr alternatives out there. Some aren’t as great and the jobs don’t come through as quickly or as often but it is always worth having the gigs up there. At least then you stand the chance of getting one order now and then and every little penny helps, right?
