Design and Promotional Services

Want to have a logo or a ebook cover done? Perhaps you'd like a eye-catching WordPress template designed or some articles to post to your website or blog. And how about an explainer video for the launch of your new service?

You might might have the expertise for some of the items above, but time is short for an entrepreneur. Money would also usually be in short supply, so hiring a professional and paying hundreds of dollars to get a logo or graphic template done would not be feasible.

Or, you could try out a freelancer at one of the freelance websites sites online and probably get the job done for a fraction of what it would normally cost. Of course, these sites are not without their risks and headaches, but with a little trial and error, it is quite possible to get a quality job done for an extremely good price.

Freelance Websites

Fiverr. You can get things done for as low as $5. On Fiverr, you don't post a job and have the sellers bid on it. Instead, the sellers will post what they will do for a certain price and if the buyers are happy with the price, they will buy the job, or gig as it is called on Fiverr.

Freelancer.com. This is one of the oldest players in the game. Job categories include IT, software, writing and data entry all the way to product sourcing and accounting.

Upwork. Upwork is the result of the merging of oDesk and Elance. You can post a job, and have sellers bid on your job.
