filomena_silva Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Hi everyone. I’m a freelance journalist who does voice overs and content production. I have my website and I usually promote on social media. But now I’m trying to expand my business and I don’t know what is the best way to do it.I had a few ideas. What do you think that will look more professional?Sharing my website link and then redirect people to my Fiverr page;Sharing my Fiverr page directly;Sharing my website link and incorporate a Fiverr badge at the website.Do you do something different than this? Have other ideas? Please, share.Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest uxreview Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Well, first I would recommend hiring an actual marketing specialist to build you a proper strategy. None of us here know your business enough to put together a decent action plan and I’m not sure how many would take the time to dive into your business for free 🙂That being said, we can offer you some nuggets that might be helpful to some extent.If you need Fiverr to process your orders then bring your customer here. Although you might look into AND.CO and other similar sites.If you can process payments and manage your orders through your own site then I don’t really see a reason why you should give Fiverr 20% of your income.Bringing your clients here could easily lead to losing that client to your competitor. For example, Fiverr shows your competitors at the bottom of your own gig page. What stops a buyer from choosing a different seller? If a potential buyer is already on your website then close the deal right there.In my opinion, Fiverr is a great place to get clients who have already decided to hire a freelancer from this platform. I don’t mind giving Fiverr 20% if they help me find a client, but if I do the marketing and find my own clients off-site then personally I don’t need Fiverr’s platform to serve them 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
