I have told a few friends. I am not sure that I posted the information here.
There are a lot of people hurting now days and needing a job or needing a little extra money.
There is a site: Fiverr.Com
You can go there and people will do all sorts of things for you for $5.00
Or you can go there and sign up and do things for people for five dollars.
I think you all know, from reading my blog, that I am pretty poor. But I have used these people about four times. I have been happy with the work each time. I have never been asked for extra money and most of the time I get the image or video I asked for in just a matter of hours and never over 24 hours.
I had someone make a video header for me. I had three different people make some graphics for me.
You know $5.00 is not much money for getting someone else to do some work for you. Plus they did a better job that I could have done myself.
But the point here is that if you got some ability with graphics, music, audio or programming and you need a few dollars this might be the way to get it.
I just placed an order for a guy to make a header for my YouTube channel. He is going to make one 970w by 150h. It only cost me $5.00 and I bet he does one hell of a job.
Check out the site and see if you can make a few dollars.
I have a link there but I am not doing anything for anyone. I have zero talent and ability.
My link, in case you wonder what your link would look like, is: www.fiverr.com/howardnet
Now it is free to get space there and start selling. I do not know if Fiverr takes a few cents of the $5.00 or not. If you find out let me know.
OK I just looked at the terms of service. You get $4.00 of the $5 dollars and Fiverr makes $1.00 pretty good deal for them.
Update: Here is the header the guy made for me.
You will see the header at the top of my YouTube channel when you go there.
Here is the link to the guy that did the work in case you want to use his services.

How did you get the header to be placed above the youtube channel stuff on your youtube channel
All I can do is put in a background and bleed off the sides but NOT in the header area

You are a YouTube partner right?

I would not ask a professional to do something for me for $5.00
So I see if I had asked you one of two things would have happened. Both a no win for me.
One you would have said you were a professional and you would have bitch slapped me all over the place.
Or two you would have said we were friends and you would not take money.
Both cases I end up the bitch. Right?
