Paystir is a site which allows you to sell your goods or services. You can set your price to $5, $10 or $20. And the good thing is, selling your stuff is free! Paystir takes no cut of what you earn, unlike Fiverr.

To sell your stuff you need to register at the site, which is free. After that, you can start listing your offers or ‘gigs’ on the site. You need to enter a title, category, description, images, and a fixed price of $5, $10 or $20. If you are selling actual goods, you also need to select the shipping terms. You can get paid via Paypal or Google Checkout.

If you are looking to buy something cheap, Paystir might just be the place to do so. You can communicate with the seller using their internal communication system. I’ve found a few offers selling CD ROM drives and the like. Paystir has also got a nice countdown timer showing the next ending offers.

Go check out some deals on Paystir.com :

• I will make you a Youtube video that explains your website!!
• ASUS 52X CD-ROM Drive IDE
• Samsung SCH-U410 Cell Phone Verizon
• I will give you business leads for $10 for 2 types of business!
• I will tell you how to buy Gold, Silver and other metals for investments for $20

Here are the terms and conditions of the site, and here is the page explaining how the site works.

Summing up, if you want to catch some nice deals, or sell your stuff, give Paystir.com a go.

Sorry for the absence from the blog these days. My hard drive crashed and I’ve sent it for repair. Using the computer with an Ubuntu CD now. I thought I’d post the good news – I got paid by Fiverr! Here is a screenshot :

If you are looking to make a quick buck for your skills, you might want to give Fiverr.com a go. Its basically a marketplace where you can list what you are ready to do for $5.  Every job like that is called a ‘gig’.

Just go and register on the site. Post your first gig. You have to give a title, description, estimated time of completion, and an image which represents what you are going to do (that’s what it’s supposed to mean, anyway. Keep something relevant). If somebody orders your gig you’ll be notified via email and you can choose whether to accept or reject that request. After completing the job on hand you’ll notify the buyer and they’ll have to confirm it. Then they can leave feedback on your work. Obviously, a positive feedback helps.

There are all sorts of gigs out there so you might find an idea on what sorts of jobs sell. The only minus thing I would say about the site is that they take $1 out of the $5 you get; not too bad but it is still 20%. You can cash out anytime you want to. Anyways…I got two gigs listed on that site to check out how it works, and I have already earned $8! Check out my 2 gigs -

I will post a review of your website in my blog for $5

I will join a PTC of your choice and click for $5

The first gig is the one that got the two orders. Notice that it’s a chance to get an excellent review on this blog for just $5! So go grab that chance. Here are the last two reviews I did -

Name of Program : Squidoo

Method of earning : From ads placed on your lens

Squidoo is a site which allows you to publish your content online, but unlike blogs, they do so through ‘lenses’. A lens is just a page where you can write all the information about a topic you like (except of course, content that is spam, hateful, vulgar, obscene, etc.etc).

Squidoo places relevant ads on your lens. These could be Google Adsense ads, Amazon affiliate program ads, or something else. From the revenue it generates, 5% straight away goes to charity. Squidoo keeps 45% for paying their bills. And the rest 50% comes to you. You can choose to get it via Paypal, and (if you are feeling particularly generous) there is also an option to donate your earnings to a charity of your choice.

It’s free, and you can create as many lenses as you like.
