4) Place Video on Your Gig

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.

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.

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.
