How to Build a New Blog in Less than 5 Minutes and Publish Your Fourerr Micro Jobs Automatically

In this online show I’m challenging myself and I’m going to show you the results of the challenge here in this video, even if I fail the challenge!

Fourerr Challenge

The challenge is to setup a “New blog in less than 5 minutes and publish your Fourerr Micro Jobs automatically”, all within 5 minutes.

The reason I’m challenging myself here is to show that you can boost your Fourerr earnings by creating your own blog and make more money, manage your own content and give your customers extra details about the services you provide. In addition you can promote your own blog and your own domain on Facebook, Twitter and other social media platforms knowing that every time you create a new Fourerr Micro Job your own blog has been updated with the latest data, including the number of visitors you get.

These are the tasks I will have to go through in order to succeed the challenge. Will I be able to do this all within 5 minutes? Check out the video.

  • Choose a domain name
  • Setup a new Account with HostGator
  • Pay for the New HostGator Account
  • Install WordPress on the new domain Name
  • Login on the WordPress Backoffice and customise
  • Setup a new Theme on WordPress for the new domain
  • Install the RSS Multi Importer Plugin
  • Configure the RSS Multi Importer Plugin
  • Publish Fourerr Micro Jobs to the blog for a Fourerr user

If you want to setup yourself a blog and pull in your Fourerr Micro Jobs then just look at the Video and follow the instructions.

Fourerr HostGator

You can install your blog, just as I did on HostGator, use the following link http://www.4rr.me/gator (affiliate link) if you want to install on HostGator – Use discount code – FOURERR2013 – if you want to enjoy 25% discount. You can still do the same on any other hosting company.

What did you think of the challenge? Do you think I made it?

If you want to see the result then check out here: http://www.fourerr5minuteblog.com

PS: I had to stop the recording of the video at 2:35 as I had to wait for a few minutes to receive the details from HostGator and before the name servers were updated.

PS2: Why not record your own video and see if you can beat my time? Share it here with us! (I lost a lot of time on the registration process – I’m sure you can beat this) – Start here

I’m challenging You to Beat My Time!

This is a great way of advertising your services but also interacting with potential customers and clients. A perhaps create a Squidoo Lens with your Fourerr Gigs – you can easily use your Fourerr RSS feed for this. Check out this video that shows the benefits of your Fourerr RSS feed.

2) Get Referrals

When you have already had a few sales on Fourerr, simply ask your happy customers to mention your gig to other people, whether it is friends or business associates – the more people they can recommend you to, the more sales you are likely to get.

3) Post Comments on Blogs

Improving your visibility can boost your potential sales immensely. Subscribe to plenty of relelvant blogs and collect advice and knowledge as well as leaving helpful comments – put your gig link in your signature if the blog allows this.

4) Place Video on Your Gig

A proven way of increasing gig visibility is adding a video to either introduce yourself or your gig – it can be very reassuring for potential buyers and you can give them a taste of what to expect from your gig. In addition publish a video on YouTube with a link back to your Fourerr Gigs.

5) Add Relevant Tags

Optimising your tags is an essential part of drawing buyers to your gig. Make the tags as relevant as possible so that buyers can find you straight away rather than browsing through other gigs and choosing them. By adding tags we will display your gigs in the “Related Area”

6) Start Threads on Forums

Sign up to marketing, freelancing or online work forums so that you can pick up advice from industry gurus and also let people know about your gig. Direct promotion isn’t usually allowed but a link to your gig on the forum profile may be.

7) Use Social Networks

Most people have more than a few friends on Twitter or Facebook so tweeting a link to your gig or sharing and getting “Likes” is a great way of reaching out to friends. If it is re-tweeted on Twitter or Shared on Facebook it can reach out to a much larger number of people. Look out for the Sharing links on your gig page, use them and your message could be shared within seconds with your friends.

8) Offer Guest Posts

When you have your own blog, you can offer guest posts to other blogs to not only monetise the site but to also draw more people to your gig. Always look at relevant sites for sending guest posts and always adhere to their rules. Or perhaps write Guest Posts that relate to your service and publish it on other blogs with a link back to your Fourerr gigs.

9) Highlight or Feature Your Gig

For $5 Feature your gig on Fourerr for 30 days or make it stand out by highlighting it – the choice is yours. This triples the number of views you get for your gig.

10) Ask for reviews

How to Make Use of Fourerr as a Seller?

Listen:


Many online entrepreneurs have been joining Fourerr in 2013. So this series is especially for Fourerr Sellers and how to get the best out of Fourerr and get orders.

Fourerr was established two years ago.  The online marketplace lets buyers get certain tasks done for just $4 while sellers benefit through the income they earn by coming up with simple gigs that the buyers are looking for. For more information see the following video.

As a seller on Fourerr, you have the advantage over other sellers on other “more expensive” online marketplaces like Fiverr and GigBucks. On Fiverr, each gig sells for $5 dollars or more. On Fourerr, each gig comes with a $4 price tag. This means that more buyers could get attracted to the service you offer as it costs a lot less when they purchase it from the other site, and still providing the same quality. In fact, the gigs on Fourerr cost 20% cheaper than on Fiverr (Yeah!). You should take this to mind when figuring out the best place to hawk your wares, so to speak. Thus for both Buyers and Sellers, Fourerr is the place to be.

Additionally, you also gain from the quickest customer support throughout all Fiverr Like websites (that’s a fact). If ever you have problems with your profile or you need some issues fixed, all you need is get in touch with the helpful customer service staff and you won’t have any more problems, till date all issues have been resolved. Furthermore, you won’t have trouble clinching a deal with a prospective buyer as Fourerr provides a pretty straightforward buying process. A click here and a click there and a buyer can order your gig. It’s as simple as that.

So, what should you do as a seller? It is very simple, really. You just have to come up with a gig to post on the site. Of course, it is understood that you have already signed up as a seller on Fourerr and that you have a PayPal or Payza account. You can easily fill out the form that says “I will – insert your service here – for four dollars”. When you do that, you will be taken to a page where you can provide a detailed description of the service you are offering, additional info (if applicable) and a relevant picture (Important!). Be sure that your description will explain exactly what you are willing to do for four dollars. Also, be sure to remember to come up with a service that is easy to complete for $4 per gig, it all comes down to time management in order to maximize your returns.

After that, you just wait until a buyer orders your gig. But wait! You can do more than that. You can actually pay a certain fee to get your gig featured. Featured gigs benefit from appearing in a strategic place on the website so that buyers can easily spot them. Also, you have to be careful when picking the category for your gig. If you pick the wrong one, buyers surely won’t find your gig in the right place. You also have to pick a catchy title to grab the attention of buyers. In addition, as explained in the Video you can actively promote your gig on Social Websites like Facebook and Twitter (best return).

Another good way to attract buyers is having a verified account. You can verify your account by submitting identifaction documents. When you submit what is required, your profile will display a badge that boasts of your verification. Of course, the best way to get noticed by buyers is through providing high quality service that all buyers want. When all of your gigs are appreciated by your buyers, you stand higher chances of getting good ratings from buyers. The good ratings will appear on your profile for all Fourerr members to see. Furthermore, if you happen to sell a lot of services to a lot of satisfied customers, you could also become one of the Editor’s Picks. So provide quality.

Ultimately, selling more on Fourerr depends on the relationship you create with the buyers. A simple “thank you” when a buyer clicks the “order” button will go a long way. You can guarantee that the buyer will consider you the next time the same customer needs something done. Also, be sure to deliver the service on the date you agree with and to provide something extra. These two acts will show the buyer that you are reliable and are willing to go another mile. It is also very important for you to remember not to sell anything that you don’t own intellectually rights for, this is not prohibited.

Fourerr does not allow that. In a nutshell, you can make Fourerr your ally if you know the right things to do. Check out the Video for more information on How to make Use of Fourerr as a Seller.

Carmine: People are very cheerful to me, and I try to be the same as a buyer.

Responding with a Video: Top 4 Methods to Boost Traffic

Video sharing sites such as YouTube or on blogs that use videos is a great way of generating traffic. On YouTube there are over 800 million visitors every month, with 70% of that traffic coming from the US.

Responding with and to a video is a great way of generating traffic and boosting credibility and ratings – here’s how to do it:

Spark a Discussion

Once you have posted a video on YouTube, link it back to your site and feel free to let people comment on it. Spark discussions about the content, about related subjects or just simply thank people for coming to view your video – interaction is a great way of building links with the online community.

Self Promotion

Posting a video isn’t enough you need to advertise and promote it as much as you can to try and boost your views and ratings. You’re not allowed to post your video URL to other clips on YouTube, but there’s nothing to stop you doing it on Facebook and Twitter!

Gain Clients, Friends and Followers

When you’re promoting your business, brand or a product or service you want to sell, you will undoubtedly get interested parties that want to know more. By replying to questions or asking them yourself to other video viewers, you can draw people back to your site and to your clip again and again.

Create Great Video Content

Don’t own the video skills needed for making a professional looking YouTube clip? Wouldn’t even know how to turn on a video camera? Leave it to the pros!

Once of the most important methods of generating traffic via a YouTube video is to create a great clip, but if you don’t know how to do it, outsourcing the project to someone who knows what they’re doing is a great idea.

Right here on Fourerr there are many creative, professional video artists ready to take your order. If alternatively, you have the skills to make a video and want to help someone, just post a video gig under the “Video” category and start making some money.

Here are some important things to remember when you are creating your (hopefully very successful) video clip:

  • Keep it Short – the most popular videos on YouTube are mainly less than 1 minute in length. If you can get your point across in a shorter amount of time than that, you will automatically be more appealing to your fast-paced internet users.
  • Funny or Witty – YouTube users love a bit of humour. Find funny ways of putting your point across and you may even bring back viewers over and over again.
  • Edgy – Not everything needs to be hilarious, but if you want to post something edgy, though provoking or artistic, this is also likely to get a great response from your target audience.
  • Leave them in Suspense – Not always a necessary technique, but if you are planning on making a series of videos, make sure they can all interlink and leave a cliff hanger at the end of each one. This way, they’ll come back for more!

Are you in need of a good Video? Search our list of Video Creation services and if you can’t find a good service then take action and put yourself out there and suggest a Video Creation service by placing a Bid Want on Fourerr.

Micro Entrepreneurs making hundreds of dollars on Fourerr

The dictionary defines an entrepreneur as “a person who organises and manages any enterprise, especially a business, usually with considerable initiative and risk”. A micro entrepreneur is a new take on the entrepreneurial lifestyle – no longer do we have to think of BIG business plans to make BIG money; instead we have the magic of the micro job site to help us reach our goals.

A micro job site such as Fourerr is simply an online platform for people to buy and sell small jobs known as ‘gigs’. These gigs cover a whole range of categories, and each gig can be purchased for a small amount of money (i.e. just $4).

Micro entrepreneurs are a new breed of business developers. Rather than making their money at high costs, the mind set is completely different – sell lots of small things for smaller amounts of money, which will ultimately accumulate to a larger income.

How Can the Micro Entrepreneurs Out There Benefit Me?

Save Time – Small tasks take time and one of the great benefits of using Fourerr is that it can save you loads of time by getting someone else to do the tasks you simply don’t have time to do! Whether it is proofreading, completing data entry tasks, help with programming or just general assistance with developing your business, Fourerr holds sellers ready to do the small tasks for you so you can focus on the ‘big stuff’!

Save Money – Fourerr is one of the cheapest gig marketplaces online and with gigs at just $4 which elsewhere you would often pay ten times that amount, you can get the same quality of work.

Help Reduce the Workload – Using Fourerr, you can actually think about hiring a virtual assistant to use on a regular basis. Once you have found a seller you like that you know delivers a top quality service, you can go back to them again and again and order multiple gigs, overall saving you time, money and also saving you from the stress of too heavy a workload!

Why Become a Micro Entrepreneur?

Make Money – $4 doesn’t sound like a lot but once you have been on Fourerr for a while, even 100 sales of $4 makes you $400…and that doesn’t sound too bad does it? But with the new changes introduced lately on Fourerr, this process can be multiplied quicker without further interaction and you can earn true passive income.

Find New Clients – Developing a network of people to work for and with is a great thing about working on Fourerr. Rather than hunting around on a number of freelancing sites, Fourerr allows you to create business connections with people that are interested in the services that you have to offer.

Find People to Work for YOU – Although you yourself may be making money by selling your services online, you can also use Fourerr to

Reduce Financial Strain – Even if you don’t make your millions on Fourerr, the money that you do earn from your gig sales can certainly help you out. A monthly Fourerr income can help you with your rent, food or utility bills, and help reducing the financial strain can’t be bad can it?

With new clients, a solid income and more business connections, being a micro entrepreneur using Fourerr is the best way of moving forward in your adventure to become truly successful.

How has Fourerr helped you? Do you have any micro-entrepreneurial tips you want to share with the Fourerr blog readers?

Don’t Let This Happen to You; 4 Embarrassing Gigging Disasters that You Can Avoid!

1. Spelling Errors – Not only do they look unprofessional, but they can also be super embarrassing if you don’t spot them in time. I once worked for a family law firm where I was sending out emails about Public Law. Unfortunately, I managed to miss out the “l” in Public throughout the message and ended up sending emails to the entire Northern region of the firm about “Pubic” Law.

Don’t let this happen to you – your spellchecker will not pick up on cringe-worthy spelling mistakes such as this one!

Spell It Rite

2. Uploading Images – Let’s imagine you’ve posted a gig on Fourerr and you have uploaded a profile picture which you think is fitting to the gig, professional and eye-catching. Suddenly you realise you have accidentally uploaded the wrong image and have instead posted on your profile a less than flattering photo of yourself tucking into a greasy kebab at the local takeaway after a night at the pub. Or something even worse (!)

Don’t let this happen to you – Your buyers will undoubtedly be put off by your totally inappropriate picture…Thankfully this has never happened to me. However, knowing my luck, it is just a matter of time…!

3. Fabricating the Truth (AKA ‘Lying) – Sorry if this point sounds a bit negative, but I feel like it needs to be said: DO NOT LIE TO POTENTIAL BUYERS! There is nothing more embarrassing than being caught out on a lie. Of course, it is not only deceitful and detrimental toward your online career but you can really make yourself look stupid. Posting a description of your gig or your previous experience where you describe yourself as an internet marketing “Guru” might be well suited for someone with extensive experience in that field. However, if you are a newbie and you know it – don’t try and deceive your customers. You’ll be found out if you can’t deliver the goods to the quality you promised!

Don’t let this happen to you – Of course you don’t need to scream “I’m a complete newbie and I have no idea what I’m doing!” from the rooftops, but as long as you don’t big up yourself too much, you’re not setting your buyers up for disappointment.

4. Giving Up Too Easily – As the famous German writer Thomas Kempis said: “All men commend patience, although few are willing to practice it.” Don’t give up after a couple of days just because your gig hasn’t quite taken off as you had hoped! Find your buyers that may be interested in purchasing your gig, be nice to them, deliver great work and thank them for ordering. It’s not difficult! If you give up on your gig and don’t check Fourerr regularly for potential buyers or gig orders, you could miss out on many sales.

Don’t let this happen to you – Get cracking with promoting yourself on social networking sites, tell your friends about your gigs and spread the word. You’ll have orders before you know it!

Don’t you dare to give up, Ever!
