💰 Making $400k+ with marketplace freelancing

Since I started freelancing I've sold over $400k in productized services.

I've mastered the ✨ art of marketplace freelancing ✨

Don't get me wrong, there are A LOT of things that come into play here.

But the single biggest thing that made me attain such a milestone was that...

...I was in early.

That’s it. I was in early.

That’s the main thing that got me such success.

I joined in 2018 as a beta user of this new marketplace that had just come out.

Getting in early was such a HUGE advantage.

Why?

Freelance marketplaces (new ones the most) rank their freelancers' services (gigs) based on reviews.

There's no ranking algorithm.

If you have more reviews, you rank higher. That's it.

And joining early not only means that there is less competition but that:

  • You get reviews first = your services rank higher than others
  • As the platform grows, more people order from you over newer sellers
  • You grow with the platform
  • You become an authority on the community built by the platform

Joining early is such an unfair advantage that I'm surprised more people aren't looking for up-and-coming marketplaces more often.

However, there's something you should know...

The harsh reality

You can be an extremely talented freelancer, but if you join Upwork/Fiverr right now, no one will care.

Your services will be buried below the thousands that already populate the platform.

Not even a more developed ranking algorithm such as Fiverr's will help you.

No one will know about you or your services...unless:

  • you pay to promote them
  • you spam all your friends with them

And you don't want to do that.

On newer marketplaces, the founders do most of the work for you.

They want to grow the marketplace and have it succeed, so they will promote you and your services like crazy.

That's why joining early is great. You do 10% while the founders do 90%.

How I can help

Lucky for you I happen to be starting a freelance marketplace 🎉

Joining Vettted.com now is just like joining Fiverr in 2010, but better.

Why is it better?

  • 0% in fees. You keep 100% of what you make.
  • Premium platform (i.e you won’t see services being sold for $5).
  • Niche focused: For marketers only
  • Personal brand friendly (i.e. build an email list, grow and monetize a following)
  • Sell your time via consulting calls ('one-click calls')

There is more to it, but I won't bother you with boring stuff.

The one thing I wish you take from this post is...This can be YOU!

You can have $400k+ in sales in just a few years as well.

But you need to start now.

Is this for me?

You might be thinking "is this for me"?

I'll be honest..this is NOT for everyone.

This is for you if

  • You're good at marketing (i.e. SEO, PPC, Social Media, Copywriting, PR, etc..)
  • You have a productized service to sell
  • You're not afraid to show your face

If that's you, then there's no reason as to why you can't be doing $10k, $15k, $20k+ a month with marketplace freelancing.

My CTA

Don't skip on this million-dollar (literally) business opportunity.

Marketplace freelancing IS an amazing business.

I (the founder) am working hard every single day to make sure Vettted.com succeeds.

Jumping in this early can make you a LOT of money.

What should you do now?

Comment “I’m in” below once you register and I’ll move you to the top of the list for approval.

Cheers,
Vasco - founder of Vettted.com

P.s.: The longer you wait, the slimmer your chances get.
