You know how you can sell stuff through Amazon and eBay (and some other sites for that matter), right? There is a site that lets you do the same with services — it’s called Thumbtack, and because we live in the 21st century, it is also easy to use.
In order to benefit from Thumbtack, you should sign-up for it, fill-out your profile and select the services you want to offer through the website.
Your potential customers come to Thumbtack looking to hire professionals to help them accomplish their personal projects. They answer specific questions about their needs, Thumbtack reviews these requests to ensure they are legitimate, and send you leads via email or text message.
If you are interested and qualified, you can respond by sending a quote, along with a personal message. Thumbtack on its end will send your profile to the potential customer along with your past work, qualifications, contact information, and reviews. You pay only when you send a quote with Thumbtack Credits.
When you are hired, the details are arranged directly with the customer and after you’re done with the job, let Thumbtack know about it to improve your chances of winning your next customer.
It may sound complicated but it really isn’t. You should put some extra effort/time in preparing a good profile, and into writing clear and professional messages to get hired. After a few jobs, you’ll get some reviews (ask for them), and it will be easier to get hired again.
Thumbtack supports a number of different service categories, including:
Academic Lessons Business Cleaning Design, Web, and Tech Services Events Food and Beverage Home Improvement Landscaping and Lawncare Legal | Music and Dance Lessons Pets Photography and Videography Sports and Fitness Lessons Tailoring Wellness Writing/Editing/Translation Pokemon Expert Services |
So we are sure you will be able to sell your stuff…
