What would you do for $5

The other day I was looking for information on buying a netbook, so I went to my favorite tech-head, Mr. Noobie. After I found the netbook stuff I was after, I clicked a few links on the Noobie website and found myself at Fiverr.com.

Basically, Fiverr.com is a service exchange website. People post what they'll do for $5. Other people come along and buy the service. The Fiverr people keep $1 and $4 goes to the seller.

So what will people do for $5?

• Give insider travel advice for San Francisco (offered by a local)
• Fire someone over the phone
• Fix your Wordpress blog issue
• Photoshop a picture
• Answer one psychic question
• Secret shop customer service employees (via phone)
• Design a t-shirt
• Give an honest review of your music
  

Some of the offers are things that I would definitely pass on. Like "I will build a business plan for you for $5." With a $5 business plan in hand, I would hope you have a Plan B. Same goes for the design of a $5 corporate logo. There are plenty of offers for linking to your blog or getting you Twitter followers, but those are things I wouldn't do. I think those are things you should earn.

For those desperate enough, there are offers such as "I will pray for you every night for one month for $5" and "I will marry you and love you for $5." (Ladies, he's 29 and living in Israel, if you're interested.)

There were a few things that I might be tempted to spend $5 on -- if I money to burn, which I don't. They include:

• I will sing "Happy Birthday" to anyone of your choice and put the video on YouTube. (What better gift for the person who has everything?)
• I will interpret your dream.
• I will change my Facebook status to say anything.

Then I got to thinking about what I could offer. Here's what I came up with:

• I will write your family Christmas letter for $5.
• I will give you a list of 5 gift ideas for a hard-to-shop-for person for $5.
• I will make you a funky yarn scarf (no knitting or crocheting involved) for $5.
• I will name your dog or cat for $5 (I might charge $10 or $15 to name a kid).
• I will create a custom word cloud for $5.
• I make three magnetic bookmarks for $5.
  

It was really hard to come up with what I would do for $5-- and I don't have any intention of posting any of the services on the site.

How about you? What would you do for $5?
