OK, enough of the telling off. Here's my top 10 ways to improve your micro job services.
1: Make sure your title is catchy, this sounds simple but many people miss the opportunity to catch others first impressions, here's an example.
- Title 1: I will create a website for $5
- Title 2: I will create a stunning, professional website for $5
2: Video, whenever you can always try and include a video. People like watching stuff and it's as simple as that. Think of it this way, watch a one minute video or read this 200 word description.
3: Make sure that whatever your service is, you provide a quality experience for the client/customer. This may be your ticket to future sales and repeat custom. Providing this level of service will almost ensure that they will be back for more, If they won't be back for more then you can be sure they will tell someone about it. Provide a crappy service and prepare for the consequences.
4: Response time, no one likes waiting around so tend to your orders or questions in a timely manner.
5: BIO'S, Try and include a bio. Some people are either shy or just leave this bit but I can assure you that people will look at your bio and in some cases it's a deciding factor whether or not they purchase your gig.
6: Tags. I know most micro job websites allow you to tag your service so make good use of it. If your service is "logo design" don't just tag it logo, If you don't know what I mean here just take a look at your competition.
7: Images. If you are using images to promote your service then make sure it's a quality image. If you can't create an image yourself then pay $5 to have another member create one for you. It will be worth it in the long run.
8: Descriptions and other information regarding your service. Make sure you don't leave any stone unturned because I guarantee it will come back to bite you. For example if your service is logo design and you only get one design concept then make sure that this is crystal clear in your description.
9: Community interaction. Make sure that you interact with the community and I say this for a couple of reasons and the main one being that someone in there may want to buy your service. Interacting with the community is a great way to get some feedback on your services.
10: Reviews/Testimonials. Always ask for a testimonial from your clients. I can express how important this is and not many people take advantage of it, they just get there $5 and run to the withdraw funds button. Get a review of your service, it looks VERY GOOD on your listing and not to mention you can use that review to put on your own site if you have one.
Well I hope these tips help some of you, especially the people just starting off.
Happy Gigging!
