If you're a freelancer on SEOClerks, you might not have to do much promotion and marketing of your services, skills and abilities etc. This is because there is already a massive buyer base here of people. So you only really have to make your service and occasionally bump it or even feature/highlight it. Unlike being an independent freelancer who only advertises his/her services on their website and then has to promote it.

What are some of the biggest marketing and promotion challenges you face as a freelancer on SEOClerks? And how do you go about overcoming them?

Probably getting a constant flux of new orders. It seems orders, at least for me, come in waves, sometimes I have to many of them that I can barely keep up, sometimes I deliver everything and don't get new orders for a couple of days which drives me nuts!

I sometimes practice self promotion to people that are not familiar with SEOclerks but may become potential long term buyers. It rarely ever converts but I still try it.

Finding new services to offer is a not big issue of mine. I post new stuff from time to time but it seems the old services are still more popular and I rarely develop a new service that becomes somewhat popular.

The actual profit I'm getting is also an issue, I don't want to work for pennies anymore so I upped my stakes, thing is there are a lot of good freelancers out there that offer the same services are lower rates. This is why I actually suspended most of my services. I really value my time now, and certain services, well they just don't pay out a profit for me anymore and if i up my rates, I get no orders.

I've checked out your services Cristian and I like them! I am planning on placing orders soon, I just need to get my head around a few things I am busy with right now.

I really don't think your services are over priced at all, so don't worry about that. I have not had time to get myself involved on Quora and I don't want to spend time there so that I can slip in my website links in eventually! I also buy services for posting content on Reddit for a similar reason. I am on Reddit but I don't do much there. I had a problem a while back being labeled a self promoter... which I am LOL

Hmm now I am thinking how I can write a post about Quora being brilliant for traffic and how to use it..and an affiliate link to your services...

Thanks for the nice Words Lynne. You are welcomed to order anytime you want!
Yeah, my services aren't expensive because I keep my rates pretty low to stay competitive with the other sellers.

I have a lot more services but I have them suspended at the moment though.

I have yet to experience promoting a business but I am trying to learn from the experience of others so that when I have my own business then I will be armed with the knowledge of related activities. I used to have an offline business but I had to close shop when bankruptcy was creeping its scary head. Now that I have again some plans of a business so I want to be sure of how to go about it.
