FiveSquids

[moo-tique]

Came across this company today, and wondered if anyone else has heard of it, or indeed used it? What has been your experiences? People advertise their services for a fiver, you make contact, pay, and they get the job done.

Not used them but used fiverr a couple of times for logos etc. Got my avatar done as well.
Can't grumble at the price although quality can be hit and miss.

It is the British alternative of the global Fiverr. It is more expensive (£5 against $5)

Otherwise, the services offered are pretty much the same. Also there are some 'subsites' where people do more complex things for £10, £20, £50, you can find them under the fivesquid site.

Hope this helps.

I've not used it, or Fiverr, but I use PeoplePerHour a fair bit.

Fivesquids is pretty good, had some flyers designed and they was delivered on time, full psd files and looked pretty awesome. I usually use fiverr though, for the simple reason that $1 is currently at 0.64p - I know its only pennies, but helps the figures on the ROI.

One tip when using any of these sites - always filter your search to "top rated" and check the reviews

Ive been using five squids since they launched, its ok for little things, i mainly use it for writing blog articles or for a cheap graphic.

FiveSquid is the UK version of Fiverrr - when I first started out I sold my bloggoing services on there as a way to get testimonials together for my website. Others do the same so you can get some really good stuff from them.

I have never bought anything off FiveSquid, always Fiverr (due to conversion rates it's cheaper to buy from Fiverrr and better to sell on FiveSquid) and I've had some mini promo videos done that were actually really good.

I work with a video production company too and they get their voice over people from both Fiver and FiveSquid - have a look at the reviews and feedback and you'll quickly see if they're any good

Are there accountants on there?

Had a quick look, its almost sad, girl on there will write 1000 words for 5 quid!

Wish I'd known that when I was writing my dissertation for uni…

I've never seen any - it's more marketing, content, images, videos, voice overs and logos

It is, I have had clients in the past that said 'but I can get it for £5 on fivesquid' - it's often copy or duplicate content or just really badly written. You have to be careful when using sites like these but there are goodens out there

I've mentioned this before but when I set up Karma Content, I did a lot of market research checking out the competition from companies offering content and one of the things I did was order some articles from Fiverr to check out the quality people were getting for such a cheap price. It's pretty poor in my experience. Here's a short blog I did about it:

I don't know why you would use any site other than Fiverr if you were going for this sort of micro-job. There's a lot of low quality stuff on these sites, but you have to be careful to find the really good stuff!
