Fiverr | Crowdsourcing - The Official Fiverr Blog

So last night I received a message. “I’m going to be on GlobalTV! I’m going to be on the news with my Fiverr Gigs!”

My good friend Rob, who goes by the name DJEmotion on Fiverr had apparently flagged down a news van earlier in the morning and given them one of his Fiverr business cards (which were suitably designed by user TofuPanda). He told them get in touch to talk about his successes on Fiverr, and they did just that. Back at the studio they’d checked out DJEmotion’s Gigs and fell in love with his bathtub offerings and decided the story was not just quirky, but impressive enough to find out more.

In the afternoon a news crew visited DJEmotion’s home to give a full on interview for a two minute segment on GlobalTV. Wow!

What else is there to say but watch the damn video, it’s great!

Impressed? You should be! DJEmotion managed to take a well meaning but bizarre Gig and explain to the world (or at least 100,000 Calgary viewers) that Fiverr is a global market place where you can get just about anything or any service for just $5! Hats off to the Canadian in the bathtub.

Have you got a hidden news story in your Gig? Drop us a line or leave a message in the comments below.

Happy Gigging, Fiverrs!

Good day, lovebirds of Fiverr. How art thou on this fine Spring morning? Has your suitor appeared bearing a single white rose yet? Have you scaled the side of a mountain to deliver your loved one a box of Milk Tray? Well we’re happy to report that our Valentine Fiverrs have been super busy over the past fortnight, fulfilling orders and tainting the tip of Cupid’s arrow with their very own love juice!

Andrea, a Fiverr user from Italy used his time running up to V-day resourcefully by purchasing Gigs from video sellers and musicians all over the world, asking them to recite an Italian phrase for his girlfriend. You see poor Andrea’s sweetheart, Georgia moved to Paris a few months ago and his heart has started to ache from her absence. With the collected videos he created a compilation just like the That’s Amore tribute we posted here a couple of weeks back. This was the gift he gave to his fairer half.

Smart-thinking Andrea caught the moment Georgia watched her video for the first time on camera and created this wonderful memento to remember the occasion.

Lovely! Georgia, you’re one very lucky lady! [Wipes away a single tear from our eye.]

We want to know; did you use any Fiverr services to assist in the serenading of your Romeo or Juliet this February 14th? Let us know in the comment section below!
