Micro job sites are increasing in popularity and for very good reasons. Firstly, it enables virtually anyone to make some very good income by offering their skills on a casual basis. You can work whenever you want, doing what you enjoy and get paid well for it. On the other hand, if you are a business owner or someone who needs a specific job done, you get a great piece of work for a much lower price. And for both buyer and seller the work can be completed quickly and efficiently.
However, many people struggle to get many (if any) job assignments from the micro sites they list on. Here are five things yo can do to maximize your sales and income:
Offer jobs that are in demand. Think about what you can do that a large number of people would want. They may well be things that other people might find to be monotonous or too specialized. It isn't much use to offer something which hardly anyone would want, yet there are many sellers who make this mistake.
Price it right. Look at what others are selling similar services for. You don't need to be the cheapest, but you do need to be competitive.
Create a great profile. Talk a bit about yourself and why you are listing jobs for sale. Above all you want to communicate your professionalism and your passion for providing a great service. Buyers want to know you will be reliable and do a great job.
Go the extra mile for the first few jobs you do so that you get great reviews. Many buyers will make their decision on who to hire by looking at reviews. If you can stand out as being an exceptional worker you have a much better chance of being selected.
List your jobs on multiple sites. Buyers are looking on
many sites for jobs to be done. If you are listed on a few good micro job sites you increase your chances of picking up jobs. You don't need to be on dozens of sites, but five or six is a good number. Also select at least a couple of sites that are quite new. There will be fewer people competing with you.
Offering your services on micro job sites is a great way to make some additional money online. You might even find it can turn into a fulltime income. Following the tips above can help increase your chances of success.
