Dropservicing indeed works and used to be a great source of income for me.
Here is what I did:
I learnt about dropservicing from a video, given away for free to subscribe to a newsletter. The video was very short without any detailed information, but the basic idea was to resell $1 services from seoclerks to fiverr for $5 and earn the difference.
Some time later, I stumbled upon a marketplace where there was a huge demand for similar services in a lot higher prices and I decided to get my hands dirty.
I immediatelly created a profile and posted 5-6 different services for 4x the price I was buying (I still was cheaper than other sellers). I created simple featured images and wrote the description based on the description of the seller, but made it totally unique.
After I got some initial sales, I refined the descriptions to match better the services. Some services did go well and some other didn't, so I removed the outperforming ones and tried some others. Although I posted many different services, I tried to focus on specific sector, so that I could present myself as a specialist. I went to other marketplaces and posted the same services.
I tried to provide a great customer support and that was what I was actually selling, as people trusted me. I was totally transparent about the details of the services (most sellers are not accurate and hide important details), even though I could have lost some sales. I also tried to answer to all queries as fast as possible and when I did not know the answers, I copied the the question and sent it to my provider. I was very willing to help and offered refunds, even when it was clients's fault and even though I couldn't get my money back. My clients appeciatred all this and I had almost no issues.
Along the way, I learnt to make the services myself and I could be faster and keep all the profit. I also combined some services, so to make my services unique.
Here are some tips for you:
- Although I did not do it from start, I absolutely recommend to test the services before you resell them, so that you know exactly what you are selling and can be accurate and transparent to your clients.
- Find 2-3 different sellers, who sell the same service to resell, so you can be sure that you will fulfill you orders in time and not depend on just one.
- Ask your providers as many questions as possible, so that you are ready to answer fast any question arises.
- Try to be as unique as possible. Write your decriptions in your own words and create your own thumbnails. You could also combine services and make one. Eg. if you resell website creation services, find different sellers for the logo, the coding, the content etc. Also, try to resell services that are not easily trackable. Eg don't sell links to certain websites that your clients can find out.
- Offer excellent customer support. As I told before, this is what you actually sell and makes your service more valuable. Be kind, try to fulfill all the orders on time (give your clients more time than your provider needs), no matter what, even if you need to pay more, be willing to help, offer refunds (that's why you need to resell cheap services.)
Next step could be to create your own website to sell your services and bring traffic from these marketplaces. I haven't actually tried this one, but I have seen many sellers doing it, palcing a call to action to the reports they sent. (check marketplace's rules if it's allowed).
I hope I helped a bit. Good luck!
