[Imran_Noori]

Freelancing is one of the best ways to make money online but because of high competitions, it is getting difficult to sell gigs.

One way to increase gigs' sales is to increase your marketing skills and use it to advertise your services to clients.

What methods are you using to increase gigs' selling on freelancing platforms?

I think some of the freelancers take help of their friends by posting good and detailed positive review that does help them get more work and sale of gigs

You do not need to be only dependant from freelancing platforms as you just run your facebook page and use sponsored ads instead of waiting for someone hiring you on upwork.

Mostly they take help of their friends and family and get nice reviews posted on the profile so as to improve the rating too that can ultimately help them fetch more work

It could be a really tricky thing to promote gigs on gig platforms. However, I think that you could promote gigs through social media.

I am not aware of it but even if they promote like that there is no assurance that they will be getting more work

Yeah this is true. Running ads on Facebook or social media is a good way to showcase your specialization/gig.

What I know is these freelancers are also members of different groups from there they get other freelancers who complete their task and they complete theirs so this is how they are gaming the system lol

It's just like a loop lol. From point A to B,C....Z and back to point A. That doesn't make any sense at all .

Haha that makes sense because when their profile shows they have completed more tasks with good ratings then genuine buyers may contact them

Well, there is no guarantee. However, the fact remains that they would increase their chances of making money.

Try to do SEO so that when someone searches for your industry, your gigs appear on the top search results

This is what they need to do if there is any assurance of getting more work but I feel its not easy as most of the freelacers are following this path

You can do that by updating your profile and make sure that it is captivating. You should also not charge too much fee.

I think that space is already saturated. It is very difficult for upcoming freelancers to get gigs on those platforms over established users.

We need to play smartly and should make our profile attractive by adding more favorable reviews

From my experience of making use of such freelancing platforms for a very long time, I can actually tell you that one of the best ways that you can be able to increase your service sales is to make sure that you offer something that is unique on the platform and also have a fair price that is going to attract clients to order your service.

I have gained my first customers through my own advertising and ad placements, meanwhile I even use TikTok, because there are also some adult target groups hanging around.

The service could be dropped for example to retain customers so instead of paying full price as giving 20 % off or these tricks to retain customers for their first purchase let's say instead of 100 $ they could pay 100 $ but get 20 $ in their account withdrawable to a new service or to the crypto wallet, otherwise if you do not offer any discounts leads to have clients go to other service providers providing discounts.

This is a very good point and I completely agree with it as well because when it comes to offering your clients discounts, it is always going to push them into being interested in ordering for your services more than they are even supposed to need it because they will always like to take advantage of the discount been offered.
