Listings are a good opportunity for you to showcase your distinctive skills and services for free, whether you use Taskhelper to acquire clients for your side business or as your primary source of revenue.

Your listings serve as an internet billboard for your services, working night and day to establish a reputation, gain trust, and attract clients.

Our objective is to assist clients in identifying great listings that they wish to acquire. For this reason, we place our top listings first on the homepage and category pages. 

In this article, we have composed a list of  5 tips you should follow to create a great listing!

1) Write an intriguing and clear listing title.

The first item that appears in search results is the title of your listing. Customers can quickly grasp your service thanks to it, and it also gives you the possibility to spark their interest.

Make sure to be concise. 

Customers tend to have a limited attention span, so keep it brief and make the most of the little time you have to explain what you are offering.

Give a detailed description of the service you offer.

If users can properly understand what you are selling, they are more inclined to check out your listing.

Make it interesting.

You can still make it unique even if there are only a few words. Your listing will stand out more if it is more distinct. 

 

2) Use relevant, quality pictures. 

Images are processed by the brain considerably faster than words, and we utilize this information to decide what to buy.

For your main image

Selecting a picture that nicely represents your service and is consistent with your listing title can help you attract interest.

For your gallery images

Your chance to highlight prior work is through your gallery images. Here, before-and-after photos, pictures from your portfolio, or images of work you're especially pleased with are great.

Clients want to get a feel of who they will be dealing with; therefore, we strongly advise including a photo of yourself to personalize your listing.

To prevent any parts from being trimmed off, submit all of your photographs in landscape mode.

 

3) Make good use of your listing description.

A quick summary of your service is included in your listing description. Use it as best as you!

Introduce yourself

Introducing yourself will help make people relate to you more and be more willing to purchase your listing.

Share your experiences

Establish credibility by emphasizing your knowledge and experience in your field and any certificates or credentials you may have.

Explain what makes you special.

Do you offer extras at no extra cost? Do you offer excellent customer service? Do you possess the newest tools or technology? By emphasizing your unique selling propositions, you stand out and secure more offers.

4) Be thoughtful when setting prices.

Value for money is the main factor clients consider when picking a Helper. This in no way implies that your services should be inexpensive, but it does indicate that your pricing should be in line with what you can guarantee.

Think of your client's point of view.

What do they enjoy purchasing? What are they willing to pay? Make every effort to present your expertise in a logical and engaging manner to buyers. Some of the top items on our site contain up to five packages. If you're stuck, start by considering which of your services are the most popular or commonly purchased.

Assess the market.

Is there competition offering a comparable service? Come to an understanding of the market pricing, then set your service prices accordingly. For services that are rare or difficult to find, customers will pay more.

Make sure to have competitive pricing.

Excellent pricing is what's most noticeable. To entice potential clients early on, we advise you to provide reasonable rates first. Then, once you've secured a few bookings for listings, you should raise your prices.

 

5) Quickly respond to booking inquiries

You should reply to a customer's request to book your listing within 24 hours, whether you make an offer or refuse. Within an hour, the Helpers who answer the fastest do so. Your listing's rating is also influenced by how quickly you respond to these booking inquiries.

Make sure "task updates" is switched on in your notification settings since we will send you an email, an SMS, and a push notification.

 

6) Find ways to make your listings better

Since Taskhelper is a free marketplace continuously changing and gaining new users, there are always new ways to make money here.   Try to find methods to optimize them and make them stand out as you discover what clients value.
