We all want every paid member who is interested in doing so to prosper by responding to HAF and WTB threads.
Many of you are losing out on sales by the way you are responding to Hire a Freelancer or Want to Buy threads.
We'd like to share some of the processes some of the community is using to respond and some thoughts as to how we believe you can do better and make more money.
Example of a well-written response:
That Jr. Vip member shared in detail how they can help. No fluff, just straight facts and in this industry straight facts rule the oceans.
When replying, specify your experience, skills, and/or parts of the service you can help the OP (original poster) with.
Spinning a comment or copying a comment posted before yours will incur a warning and using your AI to spin the content is not acceptable either.
These following responses to a Want to Buy or a Hire a Freelancer thread are spammy and do not set you apart from the others offering to help.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Would you think this is something that will make you stand out from the crowd?
I sure hope you don't think so, because there is no incentive for the buyer to hire them from that post.
It comes off as spam where the seller is trying to differentiate themselves from the crowd with the HUGE font, no meat and potatoes or substance of any kind in the response, and the color change with the other attributes does not give you a leg up on the other guy.
This one is straight up against the terms and service in a Want to Buy or a Hire a Freelancer thread and the other images I have shared above are in the same boat.
Not only are they violations, they are causing your prospects to have what we call 'Ad Blindness'.
Posting the same message multiple times in huge fonts will cause people to completely ignore your post and it also does not portray a person who is a business professional. To be blunt, it looks completely low rent.
Don't do this unless you want to lose out on sales:
It offers no value in terms of a sales pitch and has annoyingly huge fonts.
Using that huge font with little value does not stand out above the others trying to sell in the same thread
Rewritten:
"I provide High Quality Trustpilot reviews in the UK with aged accounts that are from real people living in the UK. We have been providing Trustpilot reviews for years and our stick rate is very high and we are sure that you will be pleased.
I'll send you a DM with a link to this thread and share how we can get started putting your business in a better light with well-written content from local users so you can judge the quality."
That took all of about 82 seconds to write and it is significantly more effective when you are trying to sell on the forum.
Take the time to offer something other than a cardboard cutout response and you will make more money!
