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!

Four dollars is all you need to take some time off your shoulders to do other tasks that you enjoy more. Four dollars is all you need to get your hands on high quality content that you can even have made to suit your preferences and needs.

If you have any concerns, you can simply get in touch with the site and you will get the help that you need.

What else make Fourerr an ideal micro job site to get the goods you need? The site offers a very straightforward buying process.

Additionally, you get to pick from a wide array of high quality gigs created by sellers who intent on delivering what the buyers expect and deserve, if not delivered according to your needs then request for a mutual cancellation as explained in the video.

How does it all work? Basically, Fourerr is a site where sellers and buyers meet and match. If you are a buyer, you stand a high chance of finding a seller who will be willing to do the task you have in mind and have it delivered on a set time. What you need to do is find a gig and a seller that you like. You then have to place your order for the gig. Using PayPal or PayZa, you pay for the gig you want. Fourerr will keep the money safe for you when the seller is in the process of completing your order, you must track the seller’s progress by internal messaging. Then you wait to receive the finished gig. If you find something to be fixed, you can also inform that seller to make the necessary changes.

What can you buy on Fourerr? The gigs are limitless. You can find gigs that offer virtual assistant tasks, Twitter followers, Facebook likes, YouTube views, written articles, programming tasks, banners and graphics, brand and website promotion, social marketing, backlinking strategies, press releases, video creation, and wordpress installations. Aside from these standards gigs, you can also find gigs of the bizarre kind: a diet plan, a video of somebody singing “happy birthday” on Madison Avenue, somebody holding a sign of your company in the Seychelles, and an offer to interpret the meaning of your name.

How can you search for a micro job? You can search through the tags. You can also search in the title. Further, you can narrow your search by going to the category. You can also search for a gig in the description. But how do you ensure that the gig you order is of good quality? Simple! You can look at the ratings and the popularity of the sellers, find gigs offered by top sellers and even look through the Editor’s Pick.

We Wish You Every Success at Fourerr!

Every now and then comes along someone to inspire us, or an anecdote to motivate our need to carry on. Well, today it comes in the form of Tom Mola, a self confessed internet enthusiast and football fan.

Since joining Fourerr about a year ago, Tom has gone from success to success on the site and has had over 400 gigs sold so far or pocketed more then $1600, and that number is still growing. Now, that’s a lot of gigs, so you are probably wondering how he got started on Fourerr. Well the answer he gave us was an easy one: “In a Google search!”

Choafa's Balance on Fourerr

How’s that for simplicity? Tom has done an excellent job of narrowing down potential buyers needs and provides them with what they want at the fantastic price of just $4. His gigs offer products, books, software and plugins to name but a few.

Tom has even cleverly targeted people like all of us on Fourerr- people that want to make money!

Tom's secret key to success

So what’s Tom’s secret? Well, to increase his chances of making sales he has many gigs available on Fourerr – most of them about how to make money online. He also offers the Fourerr community various IM (Internet Marketing) products and WordPress plugins, different types of software and a great range of eBooks.

With Tom’s background in selling IM products/eBooks etc, his ever growing success online makes him one of the lucky ones, but it’s not all down to luck – he works hard and offers buyers exactly what they want and it means that he can work online as a full time career, therefore making him totally focused on his online work.

So there is a lesson to be learnt here – if you truly want to be successful online and make as much money as you possibly can on Fourerr, you need to offer great value for money and offer as much help as you can to potential buyers. You should find that the more gigs you offer, the more likely people are to buy them and, just like Tom, you will soon have a great online business for yourself!

Remember, Remember the Fifth of November… Bonfire Night!

So Fourerr says ‘goodbye’ to Halloween and a big ‘hello’ to Bonfire Night, also known as Guy Fawkes or Fireworks Night. Although this day is steeped in history, it is at this time of year in Britain that people around the country gather to watch various fireworks displays. These displays, both public and private are so popular  that it has got me thinking – can our gigs have the same impact as that of the ‘BANG!’ of a firework?

It starts with a spark…

It starts with a spark... The spark travels down the fuse...

So what is the ‘spark’ when it comes to selling gigs? Well, it is the buzz you create around that particular gig. Whether you are selling something creative or something business related, you need to let people know that you are there to offer our services.

Talk to your friends face to face or tell your friends, family, and colleagues about your gig by advertising it on social networks. Whatever you do to create an awareness of your gig, you are bound to increase sales.

The spark travels down the fuse…

Once the ‘spark’ ignites someone’s interest in your gig, it is then up to you to deliver great quality work every time to let the process continue. Creating the initial interest in your gig is no good if you can’t follow through with it, so make sure you are offering high quality gigs and a friendly and reliable service.

Also try to think what you can offer buyers that others might not be able to. For example this could be a quicker turnaround than other sellers, or perhaps more value for money, or maybe even unique skills or talents. Whatever it is, make sure our buyers know why you are the best at what you do and why they should buy your gig again and again.

…BANG!

Bang ... dollars in your pocket

Bang ... dollars in your pocket

So you’ve advertised your gig, people know who you are and you’ve got sales coming in: This is the ‘BANG!’ you have been waiting for. Once sales start coming in and you are producing the best quality gigs that you can, you will be making a steady flow of money. It’s all about consistency – if you keep delivering excellent quality work and you are an easy seller to communicate with (fast and friendly replies can win anyone over!) then you are guaranteed to do well on Fourerr.

So keep those sparks flying and make sure your gig has an impact on Fourerr – be as creative as you like with your gigs because you never know, someone out there may want to buy it. With all those sparks surrounding your gigs, there is surely soon to be a fantastic culmination and flurry of gig orders that create the ultimate firework display you have been searching for!

Happy Selling!
