Okay I started selling some basic design services on Wickedfire a while back I've stopped really promoting any of my services since I don't want to get to much work since I'm doing loads of other stuff now, but I still get some repeat customers to keep some money coming in. This is a step by step guide to successfully sell on wickedfire, whatever your service.

Step 1) Get yo ass a Paypal account, really easy to use, plus everyone uses it. If paypal can't send money to your account in your country then hard luck, perhaps try alertpay or something like that. Or use paypal then use those funny services to change it into alertpay.

Step 2) Make a kick-ass thread. Make sure your title is to the point with no flowery language. Never hype yourself up.

BAD: "Amazing service get to page 1 on Google!" - Everyone reads past this bullshit

GOOD: "200 directory submissions for $20" - tells it like it is

GOD: "200 directory submissions: $5 Limited Offer" - Everyone is a sucker for a good deal if you new to wickedfire this can really help.

Your actual thread should also be to the point: Service, Price, Timespan and Review Copies or Samples is all you need. No hyping like "Wait to you see my amazing designs, they are super". Bumping your thread is kinda allowed, but shouldn't be neseccary. Review copy reviewers will add some posts and get the ball rolling.

Step 3) Prove that your legit. Give away not one but at least 3 review copyzz, don't worry about who they are given to as long as they have more than 10 posts people usually trust 'em no doubt. If you get bad reviews from the free copies just give up now.

Step 4)
Do some fucking work and make sure it's good. On the first few orders you MUST go as far as is humanly possible to satisfying your client. A few rave reviews about your service and you will have a nice stream of work coming in. Make sure you give and receive itrader, especially important at the beginning.

Step 5) The most important thing: ADAPT. Your prices may be too high or too low for demand. You may doing work too slowly. You must always refine your service to compete with everyone else.

Step 6) Keep it up (this is where I went wrong). I became sloppy with my work and eventually lost orders. If you want to make money consistently it's not about make new threads it's all about repeat business. Become unique in your market either by being better than everyone else or cheaper than anyone else.

If I'm missing shit, I suppose I might update this threda, but anyway I hope it helps anyone new to wickedfire not to fail at the whole online selling shit thing.

These steps done right:

This one's a no-brainer, but the most successful sellers I have seen in here always communicate with the buyers. If you thank buyers/reviewers who post to your thread, you not only get a thread bump, but you are letting prospective buyers know that you are responsive. If you are having trouble with the order, be honest and let it be known; most people will cut you some slack if they know what the deal is and you are not trying to run off with their money.
 
i would add get involved and post some useful shit before trying to whore yourself out. having a bit of a post count can help when asking people to part with their monies.

Correction: On every order you must go as far as humanly possible. If you feel like you're spending too much time to satisfy clients, charge more. You'd be amazed how much people like a dedicated freelancer. If you find you are making less even if you charge more, become better. Then your prices will be justified.


I think my dedication and speed are the sole reasons I've been booked since I started seriously freelancing on Dec. 26, 2008; and have been raising my rates steadily since as well.

That's what I was talking about in step 5:
