What Is The Key For Winning A WTB Bid?

Aside from offering services for earning income on Seoclerks, Offering services to users that create Want To Buy can be profitable too. Members have been creating WTBs requiring various skills on the platform.

This platform is becoming very popular with sellers joining constantly and competition growing higher each day. When WTBs are created, what are the criteria for bidding that will give me a higher chance of being selected out of other competitive bidders?

One of the best pieces of advice that I can give is to write a convincing and detailed bid, not just a simple statement such as "I can do the job!" You really have to sell your skills and talent, not just list a cheap price to win the bid. First off, stick to the requirements, so if it's 1000 Instagram followers for $10, don't bid 100 followers for $5. Give reasons why you are the best person to hire for that job, include links to specific services you already offer which satisfy the content requirements of the person placing the bid and even a portfolio (assuming your portfolio doesn't contain outside contact information). You might point the buyer placing the WTB to your profile where you contain more information about your job experience that meets their requirements. Looking forward to hearing others take on this subject as the WTB is such an integral part of earning money on the SEOClerks Marketplace.

Good question, I posted a FAQ and mini tutorial guide on how to bid on someone's WTB the other day which explains how bidding on peoples WTB's works and how you can increase your chances of being hired from your bid. It also shows how you can get more notifications about new WTB's that are created by people too so that can increase your chances of finding work from peoples WTB's. I put 6 points there on how to increase your chances of being picked and hired from your bid but I'll put them here and expand on them a little more as well.

Be fast and bid early
Being the first person to place a bid on someone's WTB shows that you're an active user and that's what most people are looking for. They want someone that is going to be responsive and bidding early shows that you are.
Be helpful and give them what they're asking for
As Beverly has pointed out, only bid what the person is looking for and nothing else. Don't even bid something that is closely related. Only place a bid for what the buyer is specifically asking for.
Be fair and reasonable with your bid price
Some people abuse the WTB section by placing bids for things with ridiculously high prices that they don't need to charge. You're never really going to get someone ordering something if the price isn't fair and reasonable.
Be ready to work on their order
Tell them that you're ready to work on their order as soon as they place the bid. People want the work else they wouldn't have created the WTB so tell them you can start right away and make sure that you do when they do order.
Be professional in your approach
Don't be sloppy and use bad grammar and spelling mistakes when placing your bid. People want professionalism at every level from bid to delivery so be professional and this will be more rewarding for you as more people are likely to order then too.
Be strong and don't fret
Not everyone will order you from your bid, so don't get upset if they don't. Just look at the reasons why they might not have bid from you and learn from that so that you don't make the same mistake on your next WTB bids.

These are some of the best tips I can give you or anyone to increase the chances of being picked/chosen and hired from your bid. Plus the guide posted will help even more too. Provided your bid is what the buyer is looking for and the price is fair and reasonable and you've put within it what you can do and all looks good, there is no reason why you shouldn't get picked and hired for the job. Of course, it doesn't guarantee it, but it will increase your chances of getting picked and hired for that job!

Hope this helps and good luck!

Hi thank for pointing a good issue for want to buy bidder. Want to buy (WTB) is most popular featured in SEOclerks, which completely exception compare with other gig site. Buyer can buy any service by creating (WTB) service as his own requirements. And user can bid according to his experience. But most of the inexpert user bid just writing by short message. e.g. I can do your job, I able to do job, give me order etc. My suggestion do not bid such short way write details and try to persuade to your buyer why you are most better rather than other bidder. Explain all things according to buyer requirement where you have such experience. And another things I saw most of the bidder offer price very low where buyer willing to give 2 times high. For example buyer offer price $5 but seller open bid for $2. And my suggestion do not do it. Just offer your price what exactly you can.
So, do everything as realistic and hope you will win.

Thanks by Ajlancer

When bidding on a WTB the best thing is to first see what the buyer is looking for. He will have stated this in the description, so base your bid on that. I am not only talking in terms of price, but also for the specifications of the job. Moreover, do not simply type "order from me" or "choose me". That is a big no no as it is a cheap and rather silly way to promote yourself. You need to show you can be trusted, and that you know your job well. Highlight positive attributes you have, such as your level, your rating and your experience.

You should treat this as if you are applying for a job. You should provide the lowest price you are willing to offer; by this I don’t mean $1 but the lowest price you are happy with completing the job. You should create a detailed reason for why they should hire you, a bit like your CV. You should include the following information:

Past experience – any related or similar experiences which will help you with the job
Skills – examples which demonstrates you have technical and transferable skills
Reviews – provide them with past reviews of similar or other jobs
Sample – if you have sample of your work, then provide it to them
Reason – give them a brief reason for why they should hire you
