When Anthill arrived in my in-box this week an article grabbed my attention.
It was an article about a website called www.fiverr.com. Things people would do for $5 (US$5).
What a brilliant idea.. I have become addicted to it, trawling through pages and pages of random things that people will do for $5. Everything from adding followers to your Twitter to sending you a postcard from Ireland. Intrigued I decided to give it a go.. after all $5 is not that much to pay for shits and giggles.
So in order to get some more readers to Secret Life I decided to try and increase my Twitter following – paying some dude $5.54 to increase my twitter following by at least 500.
I am in utter shock that it actually worked. I gave him my details, and now I have 547 followers. I think it works on he follows 1000 people with the idea that they will, like sheep, automatically follow you back.
It’s got me thinking about what I can do for $5. I’ve always claimed that there’s not a lot I won’t do for money. And I stand by that. So here is a list of things I would do for $5..
- Send an anonymous photo of my boobs
- Go into the chemist to buy someone Thrush cream or the Morning After Pill
- Wash someone’s clothes
- Alphabetise your DVD’s
- Send you an amusing quote
To be honest.. there isn’t that much that I wouldn’t do for $5. I think I’d draw the line at eating gross things. Hmm… wondering what it says about me that I would willing show my breasts, but I wouldn’t eat a cherry tomato for $5.
I love the fact that you judge a cherry tomato a Gross food...
ReplyDeleteHow do you "Send an anonymous photo of my boobs"...wouldn't someone have to ask....can I have a photo?

A cherry tomato is a gross food. When you bite down on it, it explodes in your mouth giving you a burst of horrible seedy juicy moosh. Why would anyone willing submit themselves to that?
ReplyDeleteI suppose you are right.. but it would be anonymous because they wouldn't know it was me. Maybe... :)
