How to Promote Your Business for $5

Time is more valuable than money because money can be regenerated while time cannot. Parts of every business can be outsourced, especially as it to marketing. 

Our firm outsources a number of marketing services, especially when our expertise is better utilized on more involved projects. We recently needed a video intro and outro for a new travel agency.  Our team is capable of making video intros, but the money we paid to outsource the project is a fraction of what we bill hourly.  Continue reading to see how we did it.

Find a Marketing Freelancer for Your Business

We mentioned having a video intro/outro created for a travel agency.  Video intro/outros are a great way to engage your audience before and after they watch your videos. We found a freelancer on Fiverr who had great reviews and completed a number of jobs. We browsed their "gigs" and found one that resembled what we wanted.  The video template we chose was $5 but we wanted to customize it and provide our own images, so we paid $15.

If you don't have an account with Fiverr, you can easily create a FREE Fiverr account here.

Here's the video we purchased for $15 from Studio Tuvo

As you can see, you can get quality marketing products to promote your business, but you must do your homework and find freelancers with a great history.

Here's what we look for when choosing a freelancer on Fiverr:

• Do they have at least 4 out of 5 stars?
• Do they have positive customer reviews?
• Do they provide a clear description of package inclusions?
• Do they provide examples of their work?
• How long is the turnaround time?
• How many revisions do they include?
• What do they need from you to complete the gig?

By asking these questions BEFORE you purchase a gig, you can increase your chances of having a great experience hiring freelancers.
