I keep trying to figure out a way to make money doing things I love. I know some people have lots of luck on Fiverr, I don’t. I have not given it a lot of work, of course, with one gig up there (handmade card). So all of a sudden, in the middle of the night I thought “hey – I am knitting all these hats to give away – is there a way to make that a gig?”
So I put it up there – for $5 I will donate a hat to charity in someone’s name. I figure that this is a way to at least contribute to the yarn fund, right? We will see how it goes. So far no one has looked at the gig. If you want to – check it out at http://fiverr.com/salpal1/donate-a-handmade-hat-to-charity and let me know what you think of the idea.
Next step is to learn how to promote the thing, I can’t even find it in random searches and I know it is there. Sigh. Anyone who has ever done this, I would love to hear more about how to make it effective.
