    Hi Helena,

    Two things.

    First: put some more work into your sales pages. Display your writing chops a little more and pack them with selling points that the target audience will desire. You're speaking to webmasters, remember. Webmasters want great human and search content; and, nowadays, it must usually possess viral potential.

    Second: Think where your market hangs out and don't wait for them to come find you. Go find them, grab them by the neck, thrust them at your sales page, and say, "Well, how about it?"

      This!

      Your editing service sales announcement even says "My editing service include" instead of "includes". How does that look, for an editor?! Sorry, I don't mean it rudely, but you need to know that that page, as it stands now, isn't going to get an order from anyone whose first language is English. It just looks careless.

      .

        I'm with Alexa.

        Might I add:

        "Looking forward to working with you."
        "6years" - no space?!

        I'm just going to stop there, or else I'd be doing your job for you, ironically.

    ^^ That.

    You can also share the link in various Facebook Groups. I know there's a lot of groups out there that are dedicated to writers.

    Something that might also help; hire someone to design a simple 250x250 advertisement or a banner ad. Once the ad is created, get in touch with website owners and ask if you can purchase some advertisement space on their website.

    Don't forget about including keywords!

      Just curious, but if you've been working in the writingand editingindustry for the past 6 years, why on earth are you seeking work on Fiverr which, after their cut will pay you just $4 a gig?
