And there's been so many helpful things posted here to the Community FAQ just for that purpose! Useful posts to read and know that can help YOU as a seller to become more successful on the SEOClerks Marketplace!

So it would be nice if there was like one main post we could link people to that contained useful links to other helpful posts and was just a helpful post to new users of the site. Both for buyers and sellers but mainly for sellers as those are the ones that ask for help the most since they want to know how they can get more sales and make more money and see more success on here.

And if you want to learn how to improve your sales and success then don't just skim this. Actually read each sentence for sentence, word for word. Then read it again! Take the time to do that and you WILL learn something from all of this!

Okay, so how can new sellers get started selling on SEOClerks?

And what are some ways to increase sales and see success?

There are many successful sellers on here, one only has to look at some of the most popular SEO services on the homepage and other categories to see that some sellers are selling a lot and making a lot of money from it. Some sell more than others, some only sell some and some less still. But these top sellers can be looked at and you can learn a lot from what they are doing and how they are doing it.

But before you can do that, you'll need to jump through some hoops first. You'll need to meet some minimum requirements before you can get there.

As you may know, SEOClerks is a user driven site, where you have Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, Level 3, Level 4, Level 5 and Level X users. Level x users could be Level X3 or Level X4 or even Level X5 users. And those users are the biggest and best most elite users of all the groups. Level X+ users are hand picked and have more benefits than lower level users.

Creating Your First Service
Now the trick to attracting attention to buyers for your services is to have a lot of personality and a little attitude and tons of uniqueness! You need to look the part both from your profile and your services. Your service is likely the first thing people will see before they check out your profile. And your service(s) are where you will mostly be able to sell yourself. Because that is what you need to do in your services descriptions! They need to be high quality descriptions. They need to be well worded. I'm not talking about just having good spelling and grammar but really offer something of value and presented in a very good way.

Don't just create a simple service description that only says what it is and what they get at a bare minimum! Although it's good to be simple since people are simple, it should have a description that looks good and is informative to read. For instance it should present a problem and then the solution. It should say what it is you're selling exactly. It should say how you'll do it maybe. It should say what they'll get and it should say what the benefits of it are etc for buyers. If possible, it should contain a diagram or something that people can relate to. It should be clear, concise and be visually pleasing!

Tip! The best thing to do to create the perfect service description, since this is basically your sales page and something of a science and an art to get right on here, is to check out other similar services and see what they are saying in theirs. This can give you a lot of ideas for what's working for them which you can then apply yourself in your own service descriptions.

NEVER copy and paste someone else's service description ever! Not even one line of it! Always create your own unique layout of words and images. Remember - be unique or go home!

So that's just an overview of the things to know about when creating your services. A general rule of thumb to follow and stick to if you want the best chance of getting sales! Although just a basic overview, knowing this and applying it will really help!

Here's some FAQ posts for further reading on creating the perfect service description:

• How to get more sales - a beginners guide.

Improving Your Profile and Trust Value
Now there are certain things you can do on SEOClerks to increase your chances of getting sales. Next to creating a killer service description! Some of these things are easy to do and have their own benefits to doing them so are well worth doing! And here we'll talk about what those things are and how to do them and why you should do them too.

Improve Your Trust Factor by Verifying Your Phone Number and Physical Address.

You want people to trust you right? Well there's some things you can do to help with that. The most obvious of these is to verify your phone number and your physical address. This can be done quite easily. The number verification can be done in a couple of minutes. But the address verification might take a bit longer since you'll have to wait for the card to come through in your mail with a code on it you have to enter. But when it does, and you do that, you'll then be address verified. And doing both of these things shows on your profile if you have done them. And a lot of buyers look to see if a seller has done this yet before deciding on whether to buy that service from them or not. Especially when it's for a fairly expensive service of $50 and above. Buyers want to know that sellers have done this so they can have some extra peace of mind when buying that service from them. This shows on your public profile in the sidebar on the right.


Now we've already created posts in the past that explain how to do both of these methods so I'll link you to them here rather than explaining how to do each again (although they're both very simple to do). Check these out and then go through the steps that show how to do them. By doing so and completing them you'll not only be improving the trust factor in your account but you'll also be improving the strength of the security your account will have as well (double whammy benefit).

Posting Discussions and Response to the Community FAQ.

You may have noticed from the User Details image above which is from my own profile, is that it shows how many Discussions and Responses I have on the FAQ here. Well these show literally how active you are on the FAQ. And people (buyers) look at this to see how active you are. To see if you're someone that how sociable you. Well the more of them you have (discussions & responses), the more people will trust you. This is just one of the main reasons why you should be more active on the FAQ!

What is more, by being active on the FAQ, you are not only increasing your discussion and responses count which has its own benefits, but since you're posting to it, a link back to your profile shows in all your discussions and responses too. Now I have gained lots of sales by just posting to the FAQ. I not only get the chance to establish myself as an expert in my niche (social media marketing) by posting articles and questions and answering other peoples on those things but this has helped me to gain some sales as well from those people that read my discussions and responses you see?

Okay, I think I've covered and just about touched on most of the most important things to do to get started on SEOClerks as a seller, how to improve your trust factor and the things you can do to go about that and get more sales and find more success on here as a freelance seller. And so, I'll leave you with this for now. However, I may add more to this later on too. And also, if you have anything to add to this do mention it below and I'll add it in or people can read them from your responses to it.

Thanks for reading and kudos to you if you go follow these guides and go through the steps above.

That puts you one step ahead of the rest that haven't!

Thanks and to your success!

Mike.
