As most you know, I offer a http://www.fiverr.com/users/lucaslshaffer” target=”_blank”>few services at Fiverr.com to experiment with micro-commerce exploration. My first thought of this service was motivated to do something fun, not make money so I set-up several ‘gigs’.
The idea of Fiverr is novel and the ‘gigs’ that are available now are all $5; no more, no less. They are very unique but mostly involve SEO help, blog posting and social media based marketing ideas (basically Spam). Some are more original like a $5 doodle of a picture your significant other send OR a Youtube video of some stranger singing the Birthday song to your best friend. Pretty fun! (Watch out for copyrights though!)
Well, I recently have been getting ‘gigs’ to help people add there sites to the social bookmarking site for $5 and it was fine. It only took a few minutes and I even created a lead for http://standandstretch.com” target=”_blank”>Stand And Stretch, my startup Social Media company. Sweet!
NOW….I finally had a person purchase a fun gig. I was ready to have some fun. My unnamed Fiverr client purchased my services to do the following gig.
http://www.fiverr.com/users/lucaslshaffer/gigs/make-you-feel-good-about-yourself-by-texting-you-about-how-awesome-you-are-for-24-hours”>I will make you feel good about yourself by texting you about how awesome YOU are for 24 hours for $5
I was ecstatic! Finally, my own novel experiment could take place! So, I accepted and then received my contact number. I immediately began adding ‘awesomeness’ to some random strangers life. I loved every second. I felt like a ego coach!
Over a 24 hour period, I filled a person with the best 140 character lines I could think of. I didn’t cheat and caste (copy/paste) any of it. I did get some good laughs and (some replies!) so I thought I would share them with you here. I have hidden the AWESOME ‘anonymous’ persons identity! Thanks ‘whoever’ you are! 😉 My privacy is important so I convey that same privacy to everyone else.
So, here are my ‘awesome’ notes including timestamps (thanks to http://google.com/voice” target=”_blank”>Google Voice). Enjoy!
