Ways to Save On Your Website Post Cyber Bundle by Joe H. Mojoness https://blog.mojomarketplace.com/cyber-monday-2017-fomo/ https://blog.mojomarketplace.com/cyber-monday-2017-fomo/#comments Mon, 04 Dec 2017 06:59:53 +0000 https://blog.mojomarketplace.com/?p=4810

If you missed our Cyber Bundle this year, you missed the biggest sale we’ve ever unleashed on the world. We included 12 WordPress themes, initial site design, online store setup, and a one-month free trial of WP Live WordPress support.

We had a TON of people cash in on the deal, and we’re working with them to build amazing websites as we speak.

If you’re feeling left out, we’re very sorry you missed it! But that doesn’t mean you can’t get a great deal on your website through MOJO.

First of all, you can still access the best WordPress support and training around, starting at $29/month with WP Live. Our WordPress experts are on hand to walk you through every step of building your website with WordPress, teach you the basics, and assist with the hard parts specific to your project.

Learn More About WP Live

In the remainder of this post we’ll show you how to save money on your website, and all the options available to you through MOJO Marketplace.

Step 1. Get a Domain and Hosting

Before we go through the options, a word on hosting. You’ll need a domain name and website hosting to build your website with.

You can check availability for your domain name, purchase a domain, and sign up for hosting through BlueHost—the preferred WordPress hosting provider.

Click here to learn more about domains and hosting.

Step 2. Choose a Website Design Template

Or, call now to get assistance choosing the perfect WordPress theme for your website.

Call (855) 464-5345

Step 3. Have Your Site Designed for Less

Website design and development can be both time consuming and expensive. However, WordPress themes come with demo designs—the preview design created to demonstrate how the theme looks and works. These designs have already been thought out and developed by talented web developers, and can be imported and customized after you install the theme.

For just $149, our talented developers will import the demo of your choosing and configure your site with the pages, content, and branding you need.

Buy Demo Setup

We also offer WordPress theme installation for just $49 (which you must complete before importing the demo associated with your theme).

Buy Theme Installation

Also, we have some free guides to install your WordPress theme and import the demo yourself. A word of caution: while installing a theme can be straightforward, importing demos varies from theme to theme, and there are several ways to do it. If you find it too difficult or time consuming, we suggest using our Demo Service or subscribing to WP Live to learn the process in-depth.

Finally, if you need shopping and checkout functionality for your business, we can also configure a WordPress online store (with WooCommerce) for an additional $149.

Buy Online Store Setup

And we can also create a professional logo design for your business, blog, or portfolio for just $99.

Buy Logo Design

Depending on your knowledge of WordPress and web development, you may only need one or two of these services to speed things along. But if you’re new to the game—or you just don’t have the time to figure it all out—we also offer affordable packages that combine services for a better overall rate, as shown here:

If you just purchased the MOJO Cyber Monday WordPress bundle, thank you! And congratulations! You may have snagged the best deal on a website this year.

But what’s next? How do you get started?

Don’t worry. Although beginning a project like a website can be intimidating, we can break it down into some easy steps, and relieve the stress. 🙂

Download and Install Your WordPress Themes

First off, log in to your account dashboard and access your themes. Click Themes from the sidebar to access all 12 of your WordPress themes included in the bundle.

Next, you can download each theme by clicking the download button to the right.

If this is your first time downloading and installing a WordPress theme, don’t sweat it! Just follow our step-by-step guide to installing your new WordPress themes.

Note that WordPress lets you to install as many themes as you like on your website, but only one can be active at a time. However, you can preview what your site would look like with each theme, and even test drive it with a plugin like Theme Test Drive.

Use our guide to installing WordPress plugins to implement Theme Test Drive.

Choosing a Theme and Demo

Before we start the demo installation and setup included in your cyber bundle, it will speed up the process if you choose a theme and demo design.

You can browse each theme and all the demos available in your bundle here.

Once you’ve found a design that fits with your project, you can install and activate it on your WordPress site, and you’ll be ready to rock when we start your demo import.

You get two premium services with your WordPress bundle, including demo import and setup and WooCommerce online store configuration.

To start your services, log in to your account and select Services from the sidebar. Then, choose the service you want to initiate.

To make the most of your demo setup and online store configuration, start to think about the content you’ll need on your site.

For instance, do you need a blog, about me page, FAQ page, etc.?

Simply thinking through the pages on your site and making a list of features will speed up the process.

Getting Help with WordPress

If you’re not sure which design you should choose, or you’re struggling with WordPress, you’re not alone! It’s a challenging thing to jump into.

That’s why we included a month of WP Live WordPress support in the bundle.

We wanted to make sure that nothing stands in the way of completing your website this year.

The Story Behind the Design | Rocky Themes https://blog.mojomarketplace.com/story-behind-the-design-rocky-themes-creativo/ https://blog.mojomarketplace.com/story-behind-the-design-rocky-themes-creativo/#comments Thu, 26 Oct 2017 15:00:30 +0000 https://blog.mojomarketplace.com/?p=4217

In this story behind the design, we’ll tell you all about one of our favorite theme developers, Rocky Themes. We recently interviewed Rocky Themes and learned about the history behind their amazing multipurpose WordPress theme, Creativo.

New Features Coming to Creativo

But we didn’t just get a history lesson. We also learned about what’s coming in the near future for Rocky Themes, and Creativo, as well. They’re adding an incredibly useful new feature called Creativo Blocks.

NOTE: This feature will be added in the upcoming 6.4 update.

These blocks allow you to use elements from various Creativo templates to build pages the way you want to!

Creating pages will be even easier now, because there are over 100 predefined blocks. For example, re-creating a specific page from a Creativo template that you like can now be done via Creativo Blocks.

Check out the video demo below to see exactly how this works.

You’d think that would be enough of an update, but you thought wrong, because Rocky Themes has been cooking up more and more excellent features and optimizations for this already baller-status theme. Here are some more of the key updates:

New Template: Manhattan + 2 New Elements

In the latest version of Creativo, a new template has been added, as well as two new elements for Visual Composer. The template is called Manhattan and it is a minimal magazine/blog template, integrating the new elements: Posts Slider and Posts Lists.

Creativo Template - Manhattan Magazine WordPress Theme
The new Manhattan magazine WordPress template comes with Creativo, and features two new Visual composer elements.

New Revolution Slider Options

Rocky Themes also added the option to have a Revolution Slider added directly above posts, with individual selection option—this means that each of the posts created can have individual Revolution Sliders set to appear above the content area.

WordPress 4 Post Templates!

For posts, Rocky Themes also added the option for users to choose a template. This is a brand new feature of WordPress 4 and it’s really awesome. You can create different layouts for posts simply by selecting a different template.

A Little Rocky Themes History

RockyThemes is a small WordPress Development company created in 2013 when their first and best selling theme was released: Creativo.

RockyThemes was established by Stef Ungureanu. It first started as a side project, with no intention to become a WordPress theme development environment. Nonetheless, their team has grown from 1 person to 6 and aspires to become even larger and stronger in the upcoming months.

The Skinny on Creativo from the Beginning

Creativo was the first true multipurpose theme created and published on MOJO Marketplace, back in 2013. Since then, Rocky Themes has consistently put in the effort to make Creativo one of the best selling and most useful themes for MOJO Marketplace customers.

Specially crafted to look amazing on both mobile devices and desktops, Creativo is a fully-responsive multipurpose WordPress theme. And, it comes with the powerful Visual Composer Page Builder plugin, which adds simple drag-and-drop elements that create beautiful and fully functional websites—all without writing a single line of code.

In addition, Rocky Themes has also integrated the powerful Revolution Slider and the LayerSlider plugins for creating fully animated sliders on your site. Both plugins are responsive and will look great on any device.

One of the best features to get work done quickly is the template library that comes with Creativo. You can pick from 11 ready-to-use niche templates.

That means you can get started with the layouts and designs created by Rocky Themes with a single click, and make the subtle changes to bring your brand to life!

Besides the 11 ready-to-use templates, Rocky Themes will release new templates each month. The latest two templates released are:

Manhattan 

This one is perfect if your dream is to create a clean and impressive blog or magazine site.

Creativo Template - Manhattan Magazine WordPress Theme
The new Manhattan magazine WordPress template comes with Creativo, and features two new Visual composer elements.

Life Coach

This template is the key to building a Life Coaching or training type of site very quickly and effectively.

Creativo Template - Life Coach WordPress Theme
The new Life Coach WordPress template comes with Creativo, and features an amazing designed aimed at inspiring your audience to join your coaching or training program, or follow your inspirational and motivational blog.

How Creativo Stands Out Among the Multipurpose Themes of the World

Creativo is dedicated to users who need to create pixel perfect websites without having to write a single line of code. With Creativo, everything is done with a simple click of the mouse, so Rocky Themes’ prize theme is perfect for both professionals and even folks just getting started with WordPress.

All you need to do is set up a hosting account, install WordPress, purchase Creativo from MOJO Marketplace, and install your theme!

If that sounded like gobbledegook to you, check out this guide on building a WordPress website for a portfolio—it covers all those steps.

Also check out these articles for a little more info, when you get to that point:

Purchasing the theme can be done in less than a minute on MOJO, and set up takes less than 5 minutes, with the right tools and a cup of coffee on hand.

Also, Rocky Themes has done us all a solid, and created a narrated video library with tutorials on how to install and get started with the Creativo theme as fast as possible.

The tutorial below will walk you through installing the theme, importing a Creativo template, and customizing it.

Creativo Feature Higlights for Your Enjoyment

Some of the best features that make Creativo different from other multi purpose themes include:

One Click Template Import

Every template included with Creativo can be imported with just one click. This is crucial to saving time and money on your site design, and enables you to do all the configuration yourself!

Creativo is Light as a Feather and Performs Like a Peregrine Falcon

Creativo weighs in at just 2MB! That’s an incredible achievement from Rocky Themes, especially when you consider that Creativo brings in three premium plugins: Visual Composer, LayerSlider, Revolution Slider, and 11 ready-to-use templates, with images, videos, and sliders included.

There’s an Option for That

Creativo’s theme options interface was specifically built to allow customization of every aspect of the site. You can change all the following critical options, and much more:

  • font families
  • headers
  • colors
  • site layout
  • layout width
  • blog layouts
  • portfolio layouts
  • background images
  • ecommerce options
  • and more than you can imagine 😉

Minified CSS and JavaScript Options

To make the theme even faster, Rocky Themes has equipped Creativo with an option that minifies (or minimizes) and combines the core CSS and JavaScript files for the theme into a single file. What does that mean? Even faster page loading times. Oh yeah, she’s a rocket. 🚀

Live Chat & Support Resources

Rocky Themes also provides outstanding customer support, and offers a live chat option to get your questions answered fast. Just head to https://rockythemes.com/creativo/ and initiate a chat in the lower-right corner with Rocky Themes excellent support.

Past, present, and future customers can ask Rocky Themes direct questions, including both pre-sale and technical questions, for free.

Any issues you might run into can also be addressed and solved directly on chat with a turnaround of less than 24 hours! Support is also covered via:

The Proof is in the Pudding, Right?

One way to see how well Creativo performs, and the endless possibilities you have with this theme, is to check out websites built with Creativo. Here are a bunch of examples for your enjoyment and inspiration. (Big thanks to Rocky Themes for providing these examples for all of us!)

Wrap it Up and Ship It!

We had a great time reminiscing with Rocky Themes, discussing the history of Creativo and what the future holds. Creativo is a great option for any type of website, and we hope you found this information as useful as we did!

The Story Behind the Design: Visualmodo WordPress Themes https://blog.mojomarketplace.com/story-behind-the-design-visualmodo-wordpress-themes/ https://blog.mojomarketplace.com/story-behind-the-design-visualmodo-wordpress-themes/#comments Fri, 29 Sep 2017 15:00:32 +0000 https://blog.mojomarketplace.com/?p=3830

WordPress themes should enable your creativity and make your site look like an agency built it. That’s exactly the goal Visualmodo had in mind when they started selling beautiful, user-friendly WordPress themes on MOJO Marketplace.

In this Story Behind the Design, Visualmodo tells us about starting their business, and the values behind their designs that they remain committed to, and have brought them success as a WordPress theme developer.

Visualmodo Storefront

Check out amazing niche and multipurpose WordPress themes on Visualmodo’s storefront on MOJO Marketplace! See their latest theme, Rare, a multipurpose creative theme for many applications.

Q: Who’s Behind Visualmodo?

the visualmodo team is jared, claudio, and leticia

We’re a nimble three person team: Jared is the CEO and developer, Claudio Pires is a Co-Founder, designer, and support leader, and Leticia Lopes is the art director and graphic designer.

Q: What made you want to start Visualmodo?

I was an agency designer, and before that I was a freelancer, so I completely understand how the right toolkit can change your process… and even your life. When I couldn’t find the right  tools to build websites with, I decided to build it myself and share it with others who aren’t coders. I’ve always used WordPress, so I wanted to add more power and variability to it in a secure, clean way.


I completely understand how the right [website] #toolkit can change your #process, says @visualmodo

Q: What was the biggest challenge in starting your own business?

Conquering space in the market and being ready for changes. And the other hard part was the amount of work. Some days I work something like 14 hours per day.

Q: Who helped you and how did they play a role in shaping the direction of your business?

Claudio Pires takes care of our clients, support, marketing, and the social presence of Visualmodo. Leticia Lopes creates illustrations and user-interface designs. With their hard work and helpful feedback, I have improved SEO, site load speed, and user-experience–all of which make our WordPress themes much better.

Q: Why did you choose WordPress as your platform?

Because of the unlimited possibilities, I really love the freedom that WordPress gives us… with the right theme and the proper support. So, I love to stay in contact with my users and give the best support. I also focus on making the installation and user experiences as easy as possible.

Q: How long have you been developing WordPress themes?

I started building sites with WordPress in 2003, and developed my first responsive WordPress theme in 2009. With my team’s help, I published my theme for sale on the old mojo-themes website. I fell in love with our customers’ positive feedback and reviews, and it motivated me to keep studying and learning to develop better WordPress solutions, responsive themes, page builders, and plugins.

Q: What is your design/development philosophy?

User experience, site performance, and features that allow you to be more creative. All of it needs to be easy and intuitive. I love to create solutions!

Q: What advice do you have for theme developers just starting out?

Wherever you are, just keep learning. New techniques and features appear every day, and you need to be ready to implement and upgrade your products. Prepare a good product and keep working on it. And always be in touch with your users to offer good support and get valuable the feedback.

Architect Industrial/Design Premium WordPress Theme

The Architect Industrial WordPress theme - MOJO Marketplace

Q: Do you have any tips for users trying to choose a WP theme for their project?

Explore developer sites to see if they have guides and tutorials available. Try to know as much as you can about the documentation and the theme possibilities, and take a close look at how the mobile version performs. Also, check how often the theme is updated, look at plugin compatibility, and try to contact the developer with any questions you have.

(Click here for more tips on choosing a WordPress theme.)

Q: What would you say your themes are best used for?

This is actually what I’m most proud of. I have themes in my portfolio for almost anything. Whether you want to build an online store, restaurant, photography site, agency, portfolio, or minimal blog, I’ve made something for you. I was an agency designer, so I know how a project can change quickly. So as a developer I try to build real multi-purpose themes that can accommodate lots of changes and variety.

Q: What’s your favorite theme on the Marketplace? Why?

This is a tough one. We believe each of our themes gets better and better as we continue improving all of them. I love to develop niche themes like SPORT and FOOD, but I also have a creative and smart theme called RARE with video backgrounds and a lot of solutions and possibilities for any site style.

Rare Creative Multipurpose Premium WordPress Theme

Q: Where do you want to take Visualmodo in the future?

I want to power sites for every single purpose and offer tools for every step of the website creation process, from the code base to templates, plugins, icons, and images, offering the fastest site loading experience.

Q: What do you do when you’re not coding?

I love to read, study, design logos, and also practice some sports. Nowadays, I’m working in on .org site that will help other designers and developers get projects done faster by offering a free download of my .svg font-icon designs.

The Premium Coding Design Philosophy

PremiumCoding runs their store like a boutique. You won’t get bombarded with a ton of new themes over and over again.

Instead, they like to keep things in order, releasing a select amount of new premium WordPress themes each year. This way, they keep every item they offer up to date and provide the most dedicated support.

Their products range from flexible multi purpose themes for large corporations to bold blog themes for individuals. At the time of writing, PremiumCoding already has 28 stunning WordPress themes available for you to take advantage of.

An Overview of Premium Coding Products

While PremiumCoding has a wide range of products, from business, eCommerce, and portfolio themes to name a few, their main focus is blog themes.

These are perfectly suitable for both commercial and private blogs, as well as news-rich online magazines.

Due to their user-friendly interface and extensibility, anyone can build stunning websites and individualize them the way they like with ease. No need to have any prior coding knowledge.

You’re left to use your imagination and creativity, and let the themes deal with the technical part.

Although modifications are possible, you can use each premium theme as is.

If one of the themes sparks interest in you and meets your needs, you’ll avoid spending time and effort on designing and developing. The time you save can be invested in creating compelling content instead.

Themes like Everly and Ragnar are perfect examples that beautifully cover every aspect of PremiumCoding.

Modern, stylish, and sophisticated design with an emphasis on the content. No unnecessary clutter or distractions. The visitor can enjoy browsing and reading the content and get the most out of it.

Everly Blog Theme - MOJO Marketplace

But the blog themes aren’t just for entertainment purposes. Due to their full optimization and cross browser compatibility, they can be of great value for content marketing.

Keyword rich and optimized articles can rank high in search engines and attract a ton of organic traffic. At the end of the day, aren’t we all after that highly targeted search engine traffic?

Before you take the plunge and purchase a PremiumCoding blog theme or become a loyal club member, consider testing the waters free of charge.

Certain premium blog themes (both Everly and Ragnar) also come as free light versions which you can use to test their functionality. Truth be told, you might be covered with everything needed using the light theme.

Also, we recently revamped our backend and integrated a new administration panel.

It uses the Option Tree plugin as the base but is designed to seamlessly integrate into our WordPress Theme. The screenshot below represents the new Admin panel that we think you will like and is a step forward.

The Innovative StartUp Theme Improves the WordPress Customizer https://blog.mojomarketplace.com/startup-theme-focuses-on-wordpress-customizer/ https://blog.mojomarketplace.com/startup-theme-focuses-on-wordpress-customizer/#comments Thu, 31 Aug 2017 15:00:40 +0000 https://blog.mojomarketplace.com/?p=3532

The built-in WordPress customizer is a familiar tool to most users. It allows you to customize your theme while watching a visual preview of your changes. Until now, the types of customizations allowed were pretty limited–colors, fonts, basic widgets, menus, etc.

But now, Organic Themes’ new StartUp WordPress theme has changed that. With the StartUp theme, the basic WordPress customizer controls all the major visual customizations for your pages.

How to Build a Page with the WordPress Customizer and StartUp Theme

If you aren’t sure what we mean, here’s a quick overview of how the StartUp theme allows you to build pages with the basic visual customizer from your WordPress admin dashboard.

1. Create a blank page and give it a title.

2. In the Page Attributes area, choose Organic Custom from the Templates Organic Customizer Widgets dropdown menu. (Note that the plugin must be installed along with the StartUp theme).

3. Publish Your page.

4. Click the Customize Page button, which will appear in the center of the page editor.

5. In the WordPress customizer, click Add a Widget.

6. Choose the Organic widgets you need to build your page, and customize.

Here’s a video walk-through of the same process.

The All New StartUp WordPress Theme

The StartUp Theme is a faster and easier alternative to other multipurpose themes and page builders. StartUp makes building pages with dynamic content simple using custom widgets within the core WordPress customizer.

The StartUp WordPress theme allows you to build amazing, responsive pages using just the basic WordPress customizer panel

We believe most WordPress page builders and multipurpose themes are flawed. They don’t utilize the core WordPress Customizer and native features of the platform to their full potential. Instead, they are highly reliant on shortcodes, custom interfaces and bulky proprietary code that heavily impacts the performance of your website.

They often require an extensive learning curve that is a departure from the traditional WordPress user experience. Additionally, many of the solutions use vendor lock-in to keep their users dependent on a system from which there is no easy escape.

Organic Themes has solved these problems with the StartUp Theme.

Organic Themes StartUp WordPress Theme using the wordpress customizer to create pages with widgets
  • By using the core WordPress customizer and widget functionality, users are presented with an entirely familiar and simple interface for building custom pages.
  • Your changes can be viewed in real-time before saving them.
  • Your website will load and perform quickly since the software is far less demanding than other solutions.
  • Additionally, the content and widgets can be easily migrated between sites and themes.

The Basic Features of StartUp

  • Fully responsive
  • Retina optimized
  • Compatible with WooCommerce,Gravity Forms, and Jetpack for custom post types
  • Features several page templates and more options within the WordPress customizer for changing the colors, layout and site navigation position
  • Customizer widgets allow page building from the built-in WordPress customizer

How the Customizer Widgets Work and Examples

StartUp utilizes the free Organic Customizer Widgets plugin, which transforms the core WordPress customizer into a page builder using custom widgets.

The custom widgets can be used to display a variety of content types on any page such as hero sections, portfolios, content slideshows, testimonials, pricing tables, profiles and more.

Each content section can be modified within the widget options by changing the background image, colors, alignment, column layout, and more. Widgets can be re-ordered on any page by dragging and dropping a widget into a new position.

Also, the customizer still includes the basic functions you’d expect, such as changing colors, as shown below.

Organic Themes StartUp WordPress theme customizer options

The StartUp Theme is developed to work seamlessly with the Customizer Widgets plugin as can be seen in the examples below.

How to Create a Bestselling Service on MOJO Marketplace https://blog.mojomarketplace.com/create-bestselling-service-mojo-marketplace/ https://blog.mojomarketplace.com/create-bestselling-service-mojo-marketplace/#comments Tue, 22 Aug 2017 15:00:53 +0000 https://blog.mojomarketplace.com/?p=3348

Are you interested in selling your freelance services on MOJO Marketplace for design, writing, development, video, or marketing? We now offer professional services to our 5 million + customers on our marketplace, and you can be one of our many providers! If you’re not sure how to get started, or how to create a great service package, we’ll show you how right here!

But first, if you want to learn more about how selling pro services works on MOJO, and for a full list of services you can sell, check out our post on providing professional website services.

Now let’s start by looking at a stellar example of a service listed on MOJO, and how you can set yourself up for success when you list a service.

The Best Way to List a Service on MOJO Marketplace

The easier your service is to understand, the easier it will be for customers to see the value. For example, this service listing for a Custom Designed Logo by Ripe Concepts Inc. does a great job for five reasons.

1. Name Your Service

This service title makes it clear that the customer will get a custom logo, not just a slightly altered stock logo. The sub header description beautifully designed helps the customer know what to expect.

Example of a Great Service Title on MOJO Marketplace

Your service should use strong, clear adjectives that clearly communicate what the customer should expect. Also, you should include a visual representation, as shown below, to help solidify your offering and demonstrate your skill.

Example of Logo Design Freelance Service on MOJO Makretplace

2. Create Service Packages

Example of Logo Design Services Package on MOJO Marketplace

Consider creating packages, or levels of service, like these. With MOJO’s huge audience of over 5 million across our marketplace and 10 hosting brands, your services are put in front of diverse customers.

Some customers may just be starting out, some may need more consistent work. That’s why we enable you to create service packages. Think of ways you could provide a budget version of your service and a premium version with added value. This will give customers a range to choose from and make your services more accessible.

3. Set a Fair Price for You and Your Customers

Set a fair price for you, and for your target audience. For instance, some users may want very detailed work, and some will want cheaper, simpler services.

This is part of why creating packages is a good idea–you can appeal to a wider audience. But nonetheless, ensure that your prices fit the level of service you’re providing.

If you need help deciding on a price for your service, we can provide some feedback and direction about how to get a fair price for your hard work while still making customers of all varieties happy.

4. Establish Your Credibility

Describe your abilities, clients, and the purpose behind your work to establish credibility. For instance, check out RipeConcepts Inc.’s description.

RipeConcepts has been delivering custom designed logos for over 8 years. With many designers on staff, we are able to design across a broad range of styles, professional, whimsical, creative, modern, etc.

We understand how important a logo is but also how many businesses have a limited budget to work with. We work with fortune 50 companies such as Disney and Lego as well as companies just getting started.

5. Set Expectations and Describe Your Service In Detail

Freelance work is always easier when clear expectations and timelines are set from the start. Spend some time explaining your process and about how long the work takes in your service description. For example:

How Does It Work?

Just fill out a creative brief and submit. Be sure to share some examples of the type of logos or design that you really like, this helps us make sure we head in the right direction on the first round.

We send you your initial logo compositions within 3-5 days.

How Do Revisions Work?

After reviewing the initial compositions, you choose your favorite and tell us what adjustments you would like to see.

2 rounds of revisions are included in each package.

How to Upload Services to MOJO Marketplace

If you’re interested in trying out our services platform because you’ve got website development, design, writing, or marketing chops, now is a great time. We’re just getting this thing going, and there’s a huge opportunity to rise to the top by providing an awesome professional web service.

The first step to get started is setting up a MOJO account (if you haven’t already).

From there, simply access your account dashboard to create your seller profile and upload services. You can find all the tools you need in the seller tab shown here.

account dashboard on MOJO Marketplace

Follow the steps in our services video to upload your service and stay tuned for a quick approval. Here are some tips to get it right.

  • Make sure that your service doesn’t overlap with current professional services offered by MOJO Marketplace.
  • Be as specific as you can about what the service iswho it’s forhow it helps the customer, and about how long it takes.
  • Provide some screen shots or images that illustrate examples of what the end product is.
  • Think about how your service can be packaged. For example, you could offer different levels of SEO optimization for different prices.

Wrapping Up

If you’re interested in kickstarting your freelance career, or you’re already established and want another channel to sell your services, this is a great opportunity. The sooner you get in, the more customers you’ll be able to pick up as we announce this new product on MOJO Marketplace.
