How You Write The Perfect Descriptions For Any Marketplace Service Listing.

in #steemit8 years ago (edited)

The perfect description is creative, clear and you should provide value right from the start.

Here are some tips to help you out..

  • Description limits and attention.

Descriptions usually has a limit, (1,200 characters on Fiverr). Sharpen your description to convey exactly what you offer in order to maximize the attention.

  • Easy and Understandable

If you provide something complicated explain everything in detail, easy enough for a 10 yeard old to understand. Always offer the opportunity for potential buyers to contact you before ordering for questions or concerns.

  • Passion and energy

Describe your offer with passion. Most sales appear because of it. Love what you do, or at least, make it look like you do. Explain what you do, why you do it and how that will benefit your clients.

  • Draw attention to your text

You should use lists, (bullets/numbers) if there’s any specific instructions or conditions, or to explain short but straightforward, what your clients will get from your service. Use different fonts and/or font size. Keep it simple & don't squeeze out every word you can. Your descriptions and titles should be professional, precise and provide your potential clients with answers. Make them aware of the value you provide.

  • DON’T! WRITE IN ALL CAPS OR WITH LOTS OF EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!!!!

One exclamation point is good, two is okay. One word in all-caps is great. But anything more than that looks very unprofessional. This is probably one of the FIRST mistakes most new sellers does when they create their first service.. "THEY SCREAM AT ALL POTENTIAL CLIENTS!!!! GIVE ME YOUR MONEY!!!!" ... That sounds like a robbery if you ask me.

I'm beginning to think that creating original posts is not going to take me far..and that's sad. You made some great points!

Hi there & thanks for your upvote, I appreciate it :)

I believe original content will bring you the most success on steemit. At least in the long run. One could probably do a bunch of things for some quick moolah, but that shouldn't be anyones intentions, even though I know some people are "in it to win it", quick and easy.. I do believe in the long run commitment and I'm here to stay.
