The author uses and recommends the Internet clearinghouse for media services of all types: Fiverr (www.fiverr.com). A wide variety of services are available on Fiverr, including general social media services such as management, marketing, design, search engine optimization, product promotion, and content marketing. Basically, the buyer needs to know what to look for and how to read the Gig Page, where sellers describe their Gig and the Gig’s terms, and where buyers can place an order. Gigs are services offered on Fiverr [1].
