Why you should be on Tenrr.com

Tenrr.com

I don't normally like writing about gig related sites but more the gigs that are on them but for this one I'm going to make an exception.
Now I have spoke with the guy who owns this website (no names) and he seems like a really genuine guy and very nice to chat to, and I can tell you that their aren't many of them online. Normally they just want your money, trust me I know. Anyway, this site is one of a few that actually let you promote as many gigs as you want for absolutely FREE, and this means FREE. The site doesn't take any commissions and doesn't charge you for listing, so basically any money you make from this site is all yours "well apart from paypals cut, damn payapl".

I honestly can not see any reason for people who provide micro job services shouldn't be on this site, you have absolutely nothing to loose and lots of cash to gain. On another note this guy keeps doing some great promotions, for example; this month all you had to do was post a job and some lucky member was randomly picked to receive a $50.00 Amazon gift voucher, how awesome amazing is this? They also have a great blog with lots of great tips and advice that is updated regular. Honestly if your not on this site then there is something wrong with you.

If your thinking I'm an affiliate or something then your wrong, I have absolutely nothing to do with this site and if your thinking "well why you promoting this site when you have your own", then here's why. Although I operate Madgigz.com I launched this site to HELP promote micro job sellers services and that's what I continue to do. It is in my best interest to help you as gig seller promote your services as much as I can, and I believe www.tenrr.com to be very valuable service to all giggers out there.

On my next post Im gonna be sending you to a website you should check out at least on a weekly basis. The site provides some excellent reviews of gig related websites and lots more.

Until next time, Happy Gigging!

Marketing your micro jobs

Let's go in to marketing your micro jobs a little further. This is one of my favourite topics because without enduring this timely task your gigs could just well be dead already.

First off (and if you have the time) take a look at this article I wrote "How important is advertising your micro jobs". It's not that it's important to market your gigs it's a necessity in order for your gigs to be lucrative. Without marketing your gigs your taking away potentially thousands of visitor and hundreds of sales to your services.

There a Lot's of ways you can be marketing your micro job services and I will throw a few ideas here for you now.

OK, so let's assume you have all your services up and ready and the only site you are currently promoting on is Fiverr.com. Starting the ball rolling tends to always be the hardest bit because you have lot's of ideas but you don't know where to start. Try the steps below.

1. Build a blog/website for your micro job services. You can use blogger.com, weebly, wordpress and I'm sure if you do a search you will find lots more.
2. Set up your social networks, I always try and use the most popular ones available including Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Pinterest. Keep in mind that you must keep active with these so don't try and do to many, just pick the ones you think will benefit you most and crack on with them.
3. Try "spreading", you probably never herd this saying before because it's my own and all i mean is visit some forums, blogs, websites and join in with the communities, leave comments, make helpful useful suggestions and people will see that you mean business and that if they did order from you there getting a good job done. Put simply "build a reputation for yourself"

You need to keep this up, this is not something you can do over night. Don't worry if you have a full time job already you can just do this over time. I can guarantee that if you keep to your plan and follow the simple steps above you will start to see improvements on your orders.

So what other ways can you increase your traffic?

I can't go in to detail on all the possible ways you can advertise and self promote your micro job services. What you can do is test the water's your self. Some marketing methods will work differently for the type of services your offering, for example; if I offered a service of dancing round singing happy birthday i wouldn't try and promote this on a web design forum, I'm sure you get what I mean. You could even try PPC, facebook marketing, paying for targeted visitors to your gig link. The opportunities are endless.

Well I hope this post has give you giggers some ideas on how you can promote. If you have any questions or you need a little help then just give me a shout.

Happy gigging!

How many micro job websites?

We all know that there are thousands of micro job websites that have been launched since the great success of Fiverr.com. Now as I am more interested in people making the most out of their gigs I want to see how many there are and try and generate a GREAT list of micro job websites for all you to promote on, So let's see how many we can get listed. I started a community over on Google+ and you will find a "Micro Jobs Websites" bit where you can add sites. Here's the link below.
https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/100454908194115990518/stream/1d768c06-5512-449b-84d5-83210fb5266b

We only want quality, I know from word of mouth that there a couple of sites out there doing things wrong! So please only add sites that you use or know that are good quality "and that pay out".

I have started the list already with a couple I know about and which i would have no problem in recommending.

Head over there now and let's create a GOOD list we can all use.

Good Luck!
