🚀 Step 1: Create a Professional Profile
Your profile is your digital business card — it’s what buyers see first, so make it stand out!
✔ Complete Your Profile
After signing up, go to My Account → Settings and fill in all your details:
Profile Picture: Use a clear, professional photo — people trust who they can see.
Display Name: Choose a name that reflects your brand or professional identity.
About / Description: Tell buyers who you are, what you do, and what makes you great at it. Highlight your experience, your unique touch, or your success stories.
💡 Tip: The more complete and professional your profile looks, the more likely buyers are to contact you.
🛠 Step 2: Create Your First Gig
Your Gig is your service listing — it’s how you present what you offer and what it costs.
When creating your gig:
- Think Like a Buyer: What would you want to know before buying?
- Write a Clear Title: Example: “I will design a professional business logo in 24 hours.”
- Describe Your Service: Explain what’s included, your process, and what makes your gig special.
- Add Eye-Catching Images or Samples: A strong visual boosts your chances of getting noticed.
💰 Step 3: Set Your Pricing
Offer flexibility and value by creating three service packages — Basic, Standard, and Premium.
This allows buyers to choose based on their budget and needs.
You can also add optional extras (Add-ons) — for example:
“Extra revision”
“Fast 24-hour delivery”
“Add your logo animation”
🧠 Pro Tip: Add-ons are a great way to increase your order value while giving buyers more choice.
