How to get a Gig Featured on Fourerr?

So you’ve created a gig and made a few sales…but how do you get more? Well, the simple answer is: Get your gig noticed on Fourerr by upgrading to a “Featured” gig! It’s really easy and getting your gig featured could results in multiple sales.

What is a Featured Gig?

A featured gig is something you can only have when you have had your gig published and approved. A gig that is “featured” will appear on the Home page for 30 days with a pink overlay saying “Featured”

How do I make my gig a “Featured” gig?

All you need to do is hover your mouse over the “Seller” tab at the top of the Home page. Next, you need to select “My Gigs”.

This will take you to your page of gigs (you may only have one active gig). Choose the gig that you want to feature; your gig status will be in green and will say: “Status: Approved and Active”. You need to then click on the orange writing next to it that says “Feature”. You will then be taken through to a page where you can either arrange payment via PayPal or AlertPay.

How much does it cost to get a Featured gig?

It only costs $5 to get your gig featured for 30 days.

Why should I get a Featured gig?

Once you have been on the site for a while, gigs tend to get buried unless they are extremely popular or highly rated. If you have had success with a few gigs before, and want to increase your sales even further, upgrading your gig to a “Featured” status is the best way to get noticed on Fourerr.

A gig with a “Featured” overlay stands out from the crowd and also is one of the first gigs that people will see when they visit the site. This means more views, and can ultimately more sales and more money for you!

Featuring your gig not only is beneficial in terms of promoting your services, but it is also a great way of showing to the rest of the Fourerr community that you are a serious and dedicated seller. It shows that you have confidence in the quality of your gig and that you are happy to share your expertise with everyone.

At only $5 for a whole 30 days at the top of Fourerr’s listings, it is a very good investment. It works out at only 16 cents a day – and if it means that you will get dozens of extra orders, it will be well worth it!

Together Fourerr-Ever

Firstly, excuse the awful pun in the title but…hey! It’s Valentine’s Day, and if we can’t use silly puns at this time of year, when can we? Whether the thought of V-Day sickens you or makes your heart go fluttery, there are plenty of lovey-dovey gig opportunities right here on Fourerr.

Selling Valentine’s Day Themed Gigs

This is a time of year where couples everywhere are panicking about what to get their other half – so why not make the most of this chance and make some money? Offering Valentine’s Day themed gigs can not only help out those who are clueless when it comes to gifts, but it could also mean a quick surge in gig requests making you some more cash.

Romantic Music – What better way for someone to woo their lover than with your beautifully composed music playing gracefully in the background – you could even take requests and do someone’s favourite song.

Recipes – If you are great with food, offer to give clear and easy-to-follow instructions for some simple but delicious recipes that are sure to impress on Valentine’s Day.

Poems – Poetry isn’t everyone’s strong point, but if you have a way with words and can come up with something more original than “Roses and red, violets are blue…” then why not sell it as a gig?

Cards – Handmade cards add a beautifully personal touch to romantic occasions, so you could offer a selection of cards which the buyer can personalise with names and specific decorations before signing it himself (whether he passes it off as his own work is up to him after all!)

Videos – Dress up as a character, sing someone’s favourite tune, or even deliver a heartfelt message from a buyer who is too shy to say it themselves – be open minded and offer to do whatever the buyer needs to impress that special someone.

Impersonations – What’s more exciting than getting a phone call or a voicemail from your favourite celebrity? If you have a knack for impressions, then offer a short personalised audio or phone message service that lets the buyer’s partner know how much he cares!

Proposals – It is the most romantic time of year, and what better way to celebrate it than to help one person propose to another? Videos, music, pictures, audio messages or personalised cards can all be used to help deliver the question – and what a great thing to be part of!

Buying Valentine’s Day Themed Gigs

If you don’t have a clue about what to get you partner this Valentine’s Day, or you want to tell someone that you like them but don’t know how – Fourerr is here to help. Amongst our sellers are some creative individuals who are ready and willing to help you deliver a Valentine’s Day your partner will never forget.
