Your introduction is the first thing customers see. A clear and compelling intro can greatly improve your hire rate.

What to include:

  • Friendly opening: Set a tone that’s both professional and approachable.
    E.g., “Hello! I’m [Your Name], a dedicated [Your Industry] specialist with [X] years of experience in delivering high-quality services.”

  • Core skills & credentials: Mention your expertise, licenses, or key client achievements.
    E.g., “Certified in [Certification Name], served over [Y] clients, including [Notable Cases or Industries].”

  • Value proposition: Clearly explain what makes your service stand out.
    E.g., “My approach focuses on [e.g., fast response, customized solutions] to deliver the best results.”

Example (within 250 characters):
“Hi! I'm an ACE-certified personal trainer specializing in posture correction and strength training, with 5 years of experience and over 300 successful client cases. I offer personalized training and dietary guidance to help clients achieve their goals.”

 

(2) Service Details

💡 Tips for writing clear service descriptions:

  • Choose between a “Service Scope” or a “Post-Hire Process” structure.

  • Use simple and specific language.

  • Ensure consistency and clarity to avoid confusing potential clients.

Option 1: Service Scope

  • [Service 1]: Includes [specific details, applicable to whom]

  • [Service 2]: Covers [price range, estimated time, etc.]

  • [Service 3]: Can be personalized based on client needs

Option 2: Post-Hire Process

  1. Confirm service requirements and expectations with the client

  2. Send official quotation and service terms

  3. Deliver service with updates or milestone check-ins

  4. Provide a summary and follow-up suggestions upon completion

Example (within 250 characters):
“My home cleaning services include:

  • Standard cleaning: sweeping, mopping, window and surface cleaning

  • Deep cleaning: kitchen and bathroom stain removal

  • Customized cleaning: carpet or specific requests

Process:

  1. Confirm needs and schedule

  2. Provide quotation and plan

  3. Execute cleaning

  4. Follow up for quality assurance”

 


(3) Media (Photos & Videos)

📸 Upload at least 5 high-quality images of yourself or your services to make a strong first impression.

 

    • Cover Image Guidelines

      Your cover is the first visual clients see—make sure it’s eye-catching and informative.
      You can upload a photo or a short video. Here are some recommendations:

      Cover Photos (Static Images)


      📍 Content suggestions:

      • Focus on your core service or profession.

      • Examples:

        • Mover: team lifting large furniture

        • Designer: discussing ideas with client

        • Trainer: demonstrating an exercise

      • Composition tips:

        • Show your face (at least half-body), with a confident look

        • Include relevant context (tools, environment), avoid clutter

        • Overlay short, bold slogans (e.g., “10 Years of Professional Moving”)


      ⚠️ Avoid:

      • Plain logos or text-only covers

      • Overuse of filters that reduce authenticity

      Cover Videos (Short Reels)


      📍 Suggestions:

      • Duration: 15–30 seconds

      • Structure:

        1. Greeting + brief intro

        2. Show service process or results

        3. Call-to-action (“Click to book your free consultation!”)

      • Use upbeat music, fast edits, and subtitles for key info

3. Industry Use Case Examples

Industry Cover Photo Example Suggested Video Script
Moving Services Team carrying a piano / team group photo Opening: Friendly self-introduction → Middle: Fast-cut clips of packing & moving → Ending: Customer receiving delivery with satisfaction
Design & Marketing Designer discussing a branding proposal with client Opening: “Let creativity bring your ideas to life” → Middle: Project evolution montage → Ending: Contact button animation

Private Tutor Tutor and student focused on solving problems at desk Opening: “Helping students overcome learning challenges” → Middle: Progress charts → Ending: Parent testimonial


4. Cover Update Strategy

  • Update regularly: Refresh your cover image every quarter or around holidays. For example, during the year-end moving season, use a theme like “New Year, New Home.”

  • Consistency matters: Ensure the cover image style matches the tone and color scheme of the rest of your profile.

  • High-quality visuals: A professional and well-composed cover image increases customer engagement and encourages them to explore your profile further.

Recommended Photo Types (Upload at least 5 high-quality images)

Type Description Example Use Case Photography Tips
Professional Portrait Highlight your credentials and image Wearing uniform / holding tools Use natural light + clean background
In-Action Shots Show yourself working on-site Teaching / construction / design Capture moments of interaction
Before & After Show service results clearly Fitness or renovation comparisons Same angle + clear text overlay if needed
Equipment / Work Close-ups Emphasize quality of tools or output Camera gear / design drafts / food Macro mode + good lighting to show details

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Blurry or low-resolution images

  • Overuse of filters that affect authenticity

  • Images showing only products without people (at least one should show your face for trust-building)

  • Too many repetitive shots with the same angle or composition

💡 Tips for Choosing & Taking Photos

  • Choose images with a clear purpose—each photo should highlight a specific strength or service.

  • Pay attention to framing and lighting.

  • For before-and-after photos, use the same environment and angle to clearly show progress or improvement.

(4) Promotion Packages

Use limited-time deals, bundle discounts, or free add-ons to boost interest and engagement.
