Hi,

I'm not funny but would like to know your opinion.I recently started an online creative marketplace where talented young artists can sell their creativity. I added a category "Comedian" yesterday because I love to watch stand up comedy and thought it will offer comedians an opportunity to make money. I still have a lot of doubts about this category, because I don't know what kind of mini services comedians can offer.

Example for songwriters:

But what kind of microjobs can you offer as comedian for little money? Will you write a comedy script for money? Will you shoot a video behind your webcam and selling personalized jokes as gifts? Or presenting a product in a funny testimonial for companies. Who will be your buyers/audience? Hope your can share your feedback whether this category is realistic and what kind of microjob you can do as comedian.

This is not a joke, serious feedback wanted.

Thanks!

Jeff

Some people write speeches (ie a best man's speech) and things like that.

Very specific, never thought about it myself, thumbs up!

Thanks!

What age range are you after here? everyone or over 18's?

I've been doing a bit of online freelancing as a comedy writer of late.

Too date I've sold

1 50 jokes to a website just being setup
2 half a dozen sketches to a Canadian Rodeo clown
3 5 funny seo articles
4 a picture of my ass impersonating Gordon Brown
5 A couple of short scripts for adverts
6 I reedited some scripts for an animator to make them funny

that kinda shit it's fun.

Zooo's right a lot of the time new standups and people doing wedding speeches are desperate for a routine or a speech etc.

these guys may be an idea of what some people do

Well actually, if your want to sell on Streetlance as comedian, the only talent you need is to be funny and creative...and most important an active paypal or alertpay account for the cash..
