Fiverr is an online marketplace where you can buy or sell digital services. It has been in business for quite some time and is equally popular among businesses as well as freelancers.
Fiverr was founded by Micha Kaufman and Shai Wininger, and was launched in February 2010. The founders came up with the concept of a marketplace that would provide a two sided platform for people to buy and sell a variety of digital services typically offered by freelance contractors. Services offered on the site include writing, translation, graphic design, video editing and programming.
