Swap of the Day: What Service Would You Swap for Five Bucks?

Five DollarsLet’s be honest, five dollars doesn’t usually get you very far these days. Sure you can get a $5 footlong from Subway, a gallon of gas, five items from the dollar menu at a fast food chain, but what else can you really get with just that five in your pocket?

Enter fiverr.com, the site that allows people from all over to list small services they would be willing to provide for $5. Looking for someone to draw a portrait of you for $5? Or want a postcard from England for $5? Or perhaps you have always wanted to have your palm read, but never wanted to pay more than $5 for it? Look no further!

These are just a few of the offerings of the robust community has to offer. Members can browse by category to find services they are interested in or can request specific services that they would be willing to pay five dollars for.

And hey, if you are looking to earn some cash and have a small service that you would provide for $5, remember, it might not be much but all that extra cash can add up pretty quick!

What small service would you be willing to offer for $5? Can you read palms or draw portraits on the fly? Let us know if the comments section below.
