How to Marry a Cat… on Fiverr.

Author: sam on October 11, 2011 in Creative Gigs, Oh Fiverr you so silly! and User Stories. 5 Comments Tags: , , , , , , , , , , .

I really don’t know where to start with this, so the beginning might be a good place.

Have you ever wanted to marry your pet? (See, this feels like it’s going in the wrong direction already.) Well, long term Fiverr user Haleylujah wanted just that; to marry her cute little cat George Constanza and declare her declaration of love to her pretty little feline friend.

Well, that’s at least what Haleylujah wanted after finding this very eccentric Fiverr Gig on offer by ilovekittens:

Now, it would be a mighty shame not to have a record of such a beautiful occasion. Every wedding has a photographer, sometimes even a videographer. The marriage of Haleylujah and Mr Constanza is no different at all!

The tech savvy bride, (that’s Haleylujah in case you were unsure which one was which) took it upon herself to record the entire ceremony so the happy pair would be able to treasure it forever. Not only that, it was uploaded to Youtube so the entire world could have access to this joyous occasion!

Have a look at the Youtube video below to watch events unfold. The ‘ordained vicar’ asks questions like “do you promise to feed your cat, play with your cat and hug your cat every day?” as George appears to be getting cold feet. We’re delighted to hear though, that the pair are still happily cat and wife.




Sadly, ilovekittens has since suspended her cat marriage Gig, but not to worry, you’ll still find loads of other fun ideas on her Fiverr page!

Isn’t the Fiverr community just GREAT? There’s very few other places on the Internet (if any) that can inspire this kind of bizarre hilarity ! If you’ve got a story to share like this, we’d love to hear from you in the comments below…

Until next time, happy Gigging guys!

BaronBob Celebrates 100 Fiverr video purchases

Author: Fiverr Team on October 9, 2011 in Gigs and User Stories. 10 Comments Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , .

This is what we like to hear: Two Fiverr users, one a buyer, the other a seller striking up a formidable trading relationship in our neat little corner of the Internet (We know it’s not a corner, we just liked the phrase).

It was some time back in April 2011 that Fiverr user BaronBob discovered our very own veteran video starlet Samcornwell and his high-quality video Gigs.


This week Samcornwell will be delivering his 100th personalised video to Baronbob, a milestone to say the least. It’s wonderful to hear that users are connecting in such a successful way on Fiverr, achieving real partnerships and trading relationships. Congratulations to the both of them!

We spoke to the formidable force of the “wackiest gift gallery on the web” and he was kind enough to share a few thoughts with us…

Hey, Baronbob, thanks for agreeing to talk to us about your experiences with Fiverr. We’ve heard from Fiverr user Samcornwell that you and him have had a landmark sale. 100 videos purchased by your site Baronbob.com! Congratulations!
I’m not worthy!

Firstly, what do you do and why do you need the services on Fiverr?
“I have owned and operated BaronBob.com – possibly the world’s wackiest gift gallery since 1998. The services of Fiverr.com are really an excellent and affordable way of getting fun-tastic content for my website.”

How many Fiverr sellers did you try before realising you wanted Samcornwell to represent your company?
“I had ordered only a few Fiverr gigs and then I viewed Sam’s 1st video he did for me, I almost fell out of my wacky warehouse with laughter. I knew at that very moment I wanted Sam to be our spokes guy. Now with 100 videos I can sum up Sam Cornwell in one word, GUTS – (genius, ultimate, terrific, savvy) (okay, I can’t count). Simply said, “Sam is my go to guy for greatness!”

What’s your favourite purchase from Fiverr.com?
“All of Sam’s videos he has done for me are of an excellence. Sam has GREAT directing, comedic timing, character acting, and editing skills. Three of my favorite videos that come to mind are all from Samcornwell…”

Remote Controlled Rat Video
Sam walks into the camera frame playing a flute and asks, “Do you know who I am?” Watch the video for the answer.

Fanny Floss Video
Sam has some real cheeky fun explaining this item! Watch the video for some priceless, simulated, sound effects.

Toilet Monster Video
 Sam is at his best as he explains this incredible prank. CAUTION: Before viewing, if you’re sipping a large glass of wine please put it down on the table.

“I think the whole concept of Fiverr.com is freakin’ brilliant. It’s really a great platform – no actually a spring board for the unsung talent to be recognized and compensated. Not to mention the economy woos of the world, the service can really make a difference. I’ll never forget a fan of my Facebook Wall that expressed how she really loved an item; I told her it’s now available for sale. She told me unfortunately juice in her household is a luxury. I sent the item to her for free. It’s tough out there and I think Fiverr should be commended for such a super ease of entry – showcasing talent – affordable – killer sales channel! GO FIVERR.COM!!”

Snoop Dogg … on Fiverr ?

Author: sam on October 5, 2011 in Oh Fiverr you so silly!. 6 Comments Tags: , , , , , , , , , .

Is it just us… or does this set up seem pretty familiar to a lot of the Gigs that you can find on Fiverr?

We’re kidding, Mr Dogg isn’t really selling video services on Fiverr (as far as we know) but we’d like him to know that he’s welcome to stop by at Fiverr.com and give it a try if he’s ever short of a bit of cash. We reckon with acting skills like those in the video above, he’d be a hit!

Fiverr User Scoops $1000 first prize in Video Contest

Author: sam on October 4, 2011 in Creative Gigs and User Stories. 5 Comments Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , .

$5 for a video? How about $1000 for a video?!

That’s exactly what happened to Fiverr’s very own yellow celebrity when he won a competition set up by Dashers’ Insurance Services who had been buying video Gigs from selected Fiverr sellers for a competition run by their company.

The brief was simple; to advertise Dashers in a fun, catchy and attention grabbing video. Luckily this is what Fiverr user ProfessorPuppet is perfect at. 56 seconds of pure hilarity is all that was needed to scoop the first placed prize of $1000 from Dashers.

Take a look at his winning entry:


In fact, not only did this win him a sack full of cash, the popularity of ProfessorPuppet’s alter ego was so much so that he also took 2nd place too – Another $500 in the bag! WOW.

What’s more is that Prof. Puppet was not the only video supremo to cash in with Dashers. Fiverr users Krazyretarded and Samcornwell also brought home a cool $450 between them coming 3rd and 5th place respectively.

To see the winners’ page and watch all the videos just click on the picture below:

We think it’s fantastic that pockets of our community appear together in this kind of way and look forward to hearing more stories just like this one. Of course you all remember our LuckyRentals blog post.

If you’re predominantly a buyer on Fiverr and have been using creative services like this for your own business, we’d love to hear your story. Leave a message in the comments below so we can get back to you.

Fiverr Gives You The Confidence to Shine

Author: sam on October 2, 2011 in User Stories. 7 Comments Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , .

This is such a great story we just had to share it with you. Fiverr user SarahSunshine came to the site five months ago with one aim; to be more comfortable in front of the lens. If you’ve seen any of her Gigs on Fiverr you’ll instantly recognize her as the pretty blonde girl from LA that looks like a movie star. Well, that’s certainly what we thought when we first saw her!

 

SarahSunshine on Fiverr.com

Sarah began her acting career making short videos for companies and individuals on Fiverr and like many other creative video sellers her confidence grew exponentially. Several hundred positive video reviews later and it wasn’t long before Sarah started getting all kinds of offers from filmmakers and directors.

Recently, Sarah was asked to star in a short horror movie called ‘T for Torment’ by filmmaker Gilbert ‘JT’ Juarez. Naturally, this ties in perfectly with Halloween just around the corner (we’ll talk about that soon).

We think Sarah is an absolute natural in front of the lens, especially as it’s her debut. If you check out the movie you’ll see why:


T is for Torment from Gilbert ‘JT’ Juarez on Vimeo.

 


What we love about this story is that Fiverr has given Sarah the platform in which to grow and learn new skills and as a result start to achieve her dream of becoming a Hollywood star. It may be a small beginning but, it’s definitely a giant step in the right direction. Although Sarah has all of her video Gigs currently suspended, we are reliably informed that she is soon to make a comeback on Fiverr. :-)

Perhaps SarahSunshine could be a future Fiverr of the Week. Who knows?

Bank of America to Start Charging $5 to Use Debit Cards!

Author: sam on October 1, 2011 in News. 4 Comments Tags: , , , , , , , , , , .

Check out this short news bulletin from On Minute News that speaks of an outrageous plan by Bank of America to start charging customers who use debit cards $5 a month for the privilege. They do however go on to mention a rather conveniently named FIVERR.COM as a possible solution :-)




Thanks guys, we loved the video and your presenter is hilarious! While we’re never happy to hear that banks are charging more, we certainly agree with your suggestion of using Fiverr to offset the costs!

Happy Gigging.

We Love The Fiverr Community. Especially When They Make Us Pretty Videos.

Author: sam on September 30, 2011 in Creative Gigs and User Stories. 9 Comments Tags: , , , , , , .

Not only are we constantly being amazed by the spirit shown by creative members of the Fiverr community, we are also humbled at times too. Recently we discovered this very cute animation by LonricDemos which did a pretty good job in explaining how Fiverr works for both buyers and sellers.

Check it out:



What we find so incredible is that these guys went and did something off their own backs for Fiverr that obviously required a lot of time and effort to put together.

A big thank you to the team at LonricDemos. At Fiverr HQ we simply had no idea you were creating this animation and think that the gesture is awesome.

If you’ve spent time making something creative for Fiverr, we’d love to hear from you. Either leave a comment below this blog post or drop us an email on our feedback page: www.fiverr.com/feedback

Happy Gigging.
