I recently use it for getting a Timeline cover for one of my FB pages. Was actually a test, because my expectations were not very high.
And I confirm what I thought. What can you expect from a $5 design??: JUNK
I got a really ugly basic timeline cover.

But the site has funny stuff and everything its only 5 bucks!

Hi  @deairby,

100% with @russellallert ,  but  I would add one good experience.
I was just starting out and had a good draft of my logo. But am no graphic expert, so I sent it per fiver to someone to make my idea into a good format. Needed one interaction as – dark purple was not  clear enough. But, all in all, for 5 bucks? very useful to have someone make my sketch into a logo. So if you know what you want, but do not want to learn a graphics software program for it. Problem solved.

@deairby I have used Fiverr, generally good results. But, I did have to “fire” two people whose work was awful (got my $ credited back). I think there is a bit of luck involved, but if you are looking for graphics work, review portfolio stuff first. Consider also language barriers. As with anything, the more you can highlight what you want, the better. I would provide a full cost graphic designer a creative brief, so to me there shouldn’t be anything less.

For $5 some small things can be worth it. Once you know your look, you can get things done like eBook covers, FB cover photos, etc. and is less expensive and easier than do it yourself if you know what you want.

I hired someone on Fiverr to create a flyer. Her portfolio has some really great samples. We gave her an example of what we wanted. What she made not only looked terrible, it was nothing like what we gave her. Then when we asked her to revise it, she answered once (saying she would revise it) then never again. I am not saying you shouldn’t use Fiverr but definitely keep in mind that most of the time, you get what you pay for. 

@deairby  I got a singing Gorilla video gram for my daughters 25th b-day. It was crappy and fun … She loved it!!!

I got a card reading for $5. it was from a gal who wanted to get some new clients. She went for 20 minutes. It was good.
