this is a website where you can hire people for $5 or more to do jobs/work
or you can advertise to work for a starting price of $5 worth of labor

example:
me: hi I will draw a cartoon portrait of you and your family for $5
stranger: that's what I was looking for I will pay you $5 to get the job done
you get the job done and tada, money earned.

I'm guessing this will come in handy for home work, you can pay people to proof read essays and papers, or actually write the paper or solve mathematical equations.

it's basically an online market it says it all on the website. I saw this on tumblr, when one kid said he made $160 when pregnant lady asked him to photoshop the stretch marks off her belly area on several pictures.

it's really interesting, you could all use your technical and unique skills and turn it in to a legit business! this might come in handy for some of you!

Wow thank you 4 share, this is very intersting

I'm an independent contract worker for a company like this.. but my company's only in the SF area and is done in real time. So once a job comes in it's sent through the system for Execs to pick it up and etc. But we are a lottt more expensive but much more professional & faster. Also, this page has random ppl signing up, mine actually hires people [like me] through 3 tiers of interviews and background check.. so yeah, like I said.. a lot more expensive and professional.. Companies use us quite a bit. But yeah... This is quite interesting though.

I'll buy your soul for $5.
