What do you think of Manual Pinterest Service?

I was thinking of running a manual pinning service since I already have the team, pinterest accounts and group boards..

Do you think some people will want this service?

I was also thinking of putting the price at $100/month for upto 5 sites/blog, 5 days a week (but will do it for 6 days), around 30 -150 pins per day (depends on the number of post from the site) and will NOT spam.. And ofcourse will not accept blog that will not get traffic from pinterest.

    Basically you're going to have companies/blogs pay you for pinning for them?

    It's already being done, if that's what you mean.

    Yes there are many agencies offering such services on freelancer and elance, but i still think this service can go well for you, if you can guarantee some results,
    Because why customers will use your service
    >> "For results"
    So if you can guarantee them like some average traffic they can get on weekly basis or number of repins they can get in a week
    I can think if you can do this it can go well, still you might want to search thees freelancing sites and check out how these agencies work

      A few months back Mike Cooch did a report on some of the problems he faced when he 1st started his 'services" business. He mentioned the difficulties he created for himself by promising "results".

      "Results" are derived from a sum total of many varying factors. Some completely out of your control.

      Unless you're going to charge in the thousands to tens of thousands, while taking over their marketing I'd only promise "work done" ie 30 pins per week. Why? Because if their marketing materials are crap then it's going to affect results. And the customer may blame you for the lack of results when in fact it's their poor quality materials not the work you've done.

      They're still going to want results. So you should create additional services at higher prices to accommodate those clients willing to pay.

      Just some food for thought.

        Very tasty morsels indeed. Price conservatively or you'll end up getting worked to death for not enough money.

        Yes your right if you start accepting all kind of orders it can be big troubles for you, because the buyers are actually not the experts they cant tell which kind of thing or pin should be promoted,
        So you can go for dual like have one time payment service of number of pins you can post (i.e 30 pins or repins) and on other hand if you are guaranteeing results which i strictly don't do in terms of traffic but in terms of repins i will go for extremely low level which i will think can be easily achieved, also for this i will have strict review first also for this kind of service i will go for subscription payment

    This is very good idea, however I would be careful guaranteeing results, especially traffic. It's safer to guarantee positions in Pinterest's search results or impact on Google SERP.

    I think it's a good idea, you should put your service on already stablished seo markets such as fiverr, odesk, etc. But I recommend you seoclerks.com, in my opinion it's better.
