SEOclerks + Craigslist method:
The basic idea of this is to resell Seoclerks products on to craigslist. Pick a service on SEOclerks, and resell it on Craigslist for a higher price, usually anywhere between 25% profit to 100% profit. Profits can range higher depending on what is being done! Some stuff which is really easy to work with is Logo designing, Web designing, SEO and Article Writing as those are categories in high demand.
There are two ways to go about reselling the services. The lazy way with lower potential is to just post a thread into the "service offered" section of craigslist. This method is the sit back and wait until someone notices your sales thread.
Alternatively, you can scroll thru the "gigs" section of craigslist. This is a method which takes more time but your possibility of returns is extremely high.
For example, i scroll down the "gigs" section and come across someone needing a logo designed. After finding that select gig, you head onto SEOclerks marketplace and check the prices of the particular thing you need to do. Usually a basic logo with unlimited revisions is only 5$. Now, head back onto craigslist and contact the OP of that gig, craft a DETAILED and PERSUASIVE email response with a price stated by the OP or your own Profitable Price. To go with the example, the market rate of a logo is $50. So that's a 1000% return of investment!
The key here is to spend your time coming up with a well crafted reply to the poster. Don't just reply with " I can do your job. Contact me" Make sure you be polite and start of with Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening etc, here is example of your message:
Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening,
I saw your post on craigslist and am very interested in completing your gig! I am able to complete the job for $X.I have tons of experience in _____ and guarantee that the quality and customer service provided is top notch!
I am able to complete your gig efficiently and will guarantee my dedication till you are satisfied with the job done.
I have had many past clients and attached are some of the work i have completed.
<Attach work of that particular job.e.g if its a logo job, save some logos from the fiverr sellers thread and attach it to the email>
Thank you for your time and i hope you choose to work with me on this gig. It will be a decision you won't regret.
Regards,
XXX
After sending the email, usually the OP may contact you and ask you some basic questions, remember to reply them with some commonsense. When they are set and ready to proceed, head to SEOclerks and order the gig. Now wait for it to be done, and follow up with the completed product/service.
TIPS:
- Always ask for payment upfront first as craigslist is full of scammers. If they are not willing to give upfront payment, its best to ask for a % payment upfront, and the remainder on delivery. Make sure that % upfront payment covers your cost on Seoclerks and makes you a tiny profit. General rule of thumb: I usually take 50% payment upfront.
- Always reply professionally so that customers will have more trust in you. Don't give half baked responses with no proper email etiquette. It just makes you seem unprofessional and less trustworthy. Its also not that appealing to potential clients.
- The opportunities are endless. To scale up is really simple as you do none of the work for the service provided. The only effort you put in is finding the lead and getting them to purchase from you. To get more clients, don't just stick to your own craigslist location. Go to google and search for other city Craigslist, such as Los Angeles/ Las Vegas / Seattle etc. The big cities have more leads but more competition too.
- If you really want to take it to the next level. Get a basic website done showcasing your services. If you want to offer Web and Graphic design, create such a website which shows some examples of previous work, contains a home page, about page and services + price page. Remember to quote your website in the sales email. It gives the impression that you have been doing this for a really long time and are good at what you do.
That's all for now! If you do not want to put in much effort, you can probably make some pocket money, beer money etc. However if you really scale it up and put in the effort into searching for clients and crafting a unique and engaging response to the OP you can literally make this a full time job or a good source of additional income. I had months with $5k minimum. Did everything from logo and graphic design, webdesign, SEO, article writing etc. Biggest earners are webdesign and SEO as you can charge couple hundred per job while the cost to you will hover around the low 100s depending on complexity.
Good luck!
