Last night I was stumbling around the website Fiverr.com and found some pretty amazing promotional ideas, ALL FOR FIVE BUCKS!
Want 100 of your flyers passed around at Harvard?
5 bucks...
Would you like your press release e-mailed to 1,000 more contacts you didn't have when you woke up?
5 bucks...
Want your book to be seen by 120 T.V. producers from a contact they trust?
5 bucks...
While there are thousands of things I wouldn't pay five bucks for on this site, such as Spaghetti Betty sending someone I love a personal birthday wish, or a digital rendering of me as a Pokemon, there are endless opportunities for cheap promotion.
People are offering insane things that just might work to get your website, youtube channel, blog, or book out there in the public eye. One lady will drive for a full day with your website scrolling in her back window in LED.
I guess for 5 bucks there isn't much of a gamble here. The people offering their services get rated so you can tell the ones who will actually do what they say.
in the day and age where you can buy Twitter followers and Facebook likes for hundreds of dollars, I think there is a certain pride gathered from getting them uniquely. Who knows what ol' Honest Abe might do for you.
Sure beats breaking the bank and crossing your fingers...
