How to Offer Work: I will convert your Video into a Music / Audio File for 5 dollars
This gig is done by quite a lot of people but there’s a few tricks that we can use to stand out and maximize our efficiency to the point that its child’s play.
First off, look everywhere you can for free business card templates. Download as many as you can and save them into a folder. Now, when a client orders a card, we can simply find the most similar template and make small changes to it to suit the clients need, look good and most importantly let you get on with other stuff!
Next, use the ‘multiple gigs’ technique; we want dozens of niche gigs such as:
“I will design your work at home business card” or “I will create a lethal business card”
Anything that makes you stand out or get found by niche searches is good!
Because these card designs should only take a few minutes, you can start offering more than one per order, which will make your sales shoot up, meaning ratings shoot up and sales shoot up as a result! It’s one awesome circle of success, waiting to be engaged.
Follow steps below :
Go to Google and search for “free business card templates”, there is an amazing amount of them out there so that single search should fill you up. Make sure to check out google images as well as web, and if you have Microsoft Office, download some Word or Publisher templates for the job! Same with Photoshop, if you have it search for PSD files (the fact that they’re in layers makes them so easy to edit!
Next open up a program compatible with the format of business card you’ve chosen for your client. If it’s an image, I definitely recommend Photoshop CS5; it’s content-aware fill makes getting rid of anything unwanted as easy as highlighting, right-clicking and selecting fill! It’s amazing, you can even use it to get rid of those horrible watermarks that people put on their projects (though that may be illegal
Now you’re going to have to edit your card. Try to change the design slightly to the point it’s not easily recognizable but stick to the color scheme to keep it looking good.
Save your file and export it as a JPEG, if they want the editable file (like the Photoshop file), try and get them to hand over another Fiverr, or at least tip you for it!
Job done!
