White Label Agency is a marketing company. They do the work for another company but put their own name on it.

So drop servicing is a simple way to find someone to do this all.

Now, let me provide you a blueprint to understand it clearly.

IX. Drop Servicing Blueprint

Drop servicing is like drop shipping. You will find clients who need the services which you provide.

You will take the work from clients and will hire someone else to do it on less cost, but your client will not know that you are hiring someone else for their work. This is like sub-contracting.

Today, you can find clients with different requirements. Some clients need script writers some need bloggers or web designers and many more. 

They will surely hire someone to do it. So when these clients hire you, you will simply deliver that work to someone who can do that. These people are called freelancers and you can find them on different freelance websites.

X. How to Start Drop Servicing Business

It is so simple as you will need the things that are listed below with some tricks.

1. It should be easy for people to find your service and you should define your service clearly.
2. You should have a freelancer for each service you offer.
3. Your sources should be reliable otherwise your client will leave bad reviews.
4. You should know the pricing (the price of the freelancer and seller). By knowing this, you can earn maximum profit from each project.

Here I am going to share everything step by step, just follow my words and get success! 

1- Know your Services

Knowing your services is the first step to start a drop servicing business. You should know what you are going to offer, make a list of them.

Your earnings and profit will depend on your services, so never hurry in selecting your services.

If you are having trouble in selecting services then see what is in demand. 

Alert

Never offer a service that is not in demand.

So check the trends and choose your services accordingly.

2- Find your Employees

Finding good employees is a difficult thing because you can’t test anyone’s abilities without checking the quality of their work. You might have to spend some money, else you can find some freelancers who provide some free samples.

One thing you should keep your focus on is hiring a freelancer with good ratings and reviews. You can check his profile for reviews. Hire him/her if ratings are good.

Tip

Choosing the best freelancer for your work will make it easy for you to handle everything, as they will already handle half of your business. 

Here I am going to share a list of platforms from where you can hire freelancers at a cheap price for your drop servicing business. 

• CodeClerks
• PixelClerks
• ListingDock
• WordClerks
• SEOClerks

3- Choose Platform

After selecting the best freelancers for your business, you should choose your platform. You can choose any freelance platform for your business.

If you are having trouble choosing a platform then here I am going to share a list of top-rated freelance platforms, you can choose any of them.

• Upwork
• Fiverr
• Freelancer.com
• People per hour

I would recommend you to start from only one platform. You can use multiple platforms too but not in starting.

4- Create your Account

So your next step will be creating an account. Just create your account on the platform which you like.

Creating an account on any freelance platform is pretty simple except Upwork. You can even register your account on Fiverr easily but it is a bit difficult to be approved on Upwork.

5- Know the Pricing

Before starting your business, you must know the price of the service which you will be offering. By knowing this, you can earn maximum profit from each project.

For example, if you are providing services of content writing then you should know how much content writers charge for their gig. To know the pricing, simply check other sellers’ prices and then write your price accordingly.

Alert

Your price should not be too high or too less, charge the average fee in the beginning.

6- Create your Gigs

Create your gig after knowing the prices. If you want your business to grow then your gigs should be professional.

They should be SEO optimized so that they can appear at the top of searches. Write your gig description with ultimate care.

If you need a complete guide on “How to Write a Gig Description” then you can read our post on this topic from here (link)

Tip

Adding extras to your gig will increase its sell-by 30%.

7- Make everything clear

Each and everything should be clear about your business. It should be easy for a client to find your services.

Here I am going to share some points to help you with this:

• Don’t Write Irrelevant Things(talk to the point) 
• Avoid Writing Paragraphs (make your point clear in fewer words)
• Don’t Use Difficult Words While Writing gig/profile Description
• Use Basic English for Communication
• If you Having any Difficulty in Understanding any Project then be Straightforward, Clear your Confusion by Talking to the Client.

8- Drive Traffic

So now let’s talk about the hardest thing, that is driving traffic. You will have to work a lot to find customers and getting orders.

Any freelance website will not allow beginners to appear on the top of searches, you will see only top-rated sellers in the search engine.

So it would be difficult for you to get projects in the beginning as you will not have reviews on your profile. But you have no need to worry about it, there is a solution.

On Fiverr and Upwork, there is an option of “buyer request”. Buyers from different countries post their projects over there. 

You as a freelancer can send your request with a description explaining your services and skills.

So take advantage of it, send the best offer to the buyers.

9- Get Orders

After you start getting orders, then do them in the best way to have positive reviews on your profile.

Tip

Half of your success depends on the yellow starts of clients (positive reviews).

Once you get an order, take all information about that from your client and then go to your freelancer and tell him/her to do the same work (in less money).

Tell him/her to meet the deadlines. When your freelancer finishes the order, take data from them, check that once, and then deliver that to your client.

XIII. The Secret to Fast Drop Service Growth

Email marketing

There are many ways to market your services online, but there is one thing that you should ALWAYS do. The only problem with this thing is that most companies don’t know about it, and if they know about it, they don’t use it. The service I am talking about here is Email marketing.

When people hear drop servicing they think of a cheap business model where you never need staff (which isn’t completely true).

Hire

The problem most drop-servicing businesses fail to realize is that they never make use of this lead generation.

Site Build It!

The best service (in my opinion) for those who want to be in the dropshipping business, or one with a strong eCommerce part, is Site Build It!

Presently, there are two ways to start this business:

• The freeway
• The paid way

Your cost depends on the way you want it. You can start a drop servicing business free of cost or you can create websites with some professional touch by paying a little amount of money.

Starting this business without any cost is a good thing for beginners but it will take time to earn money and your earnings can be a little low. Otherwise, for a paid way, you will have to build a website.

The website might cost you $3 per month. After creating a website, you will have to set up ads that might cost you $10 per day. When you start getting work, you can increase ad costs and can increase the budget. 

If you are not a beginner then you must go for the second option because it will help you to earn in less time.

Now let me tell you how to start this business in the free or paid way in detail.

XV. Ways To Start This Business

The Free Way

Here I am going to share a step-by-step method to start your drop servicing business free of cost. So let’s start. 

1- Select your Services

Firstly, you will have to select the services which you like to add to your business. Your earnings and profit will depend on your services, so search for trends and choose wisely.

2- Find your Employees

After specifying your services, you must find a freelancer to do your work. You can find freelancers on freelance websites like Fiverr. They will do the same work for you in less amount. You can find freelancers on the following platforms:

• CodeClerks
• PixelClerks
• ListingDock
• WordClerks
• SEOClerks

One thing you should keep your focus on is hiring a freelancer with good ratings and reviews. You can check his profile for reviews. Hire him/her if ratings are good. Choosing the best freelancer for your work will make it easy for you to handle everything, as they will already handle half of your business.

3- Register your Account

Your third step will be registering your account on Fiverr and Upwork. You can register your account on Fiverr easily but it is a bit difficult to be approved on Upwork.

4- Make Gigs

After making your account on Fiverr and Upwork, make your gigs. Your gigs should be about your services. Don’t make gigs on services that you don’t provide. You have 3 different gig packages on Fiverr, so use them wisely.

5- Drive Traffic

So now let’s talk about the hardest thing, that is driving traffic. Any freelance website will not allow any beginner to appear on the top of searches.

So it would be difficult for you to get projects in the beginning. But you have no need to worry about it, there is a solution.

On Fiverr and Upwork, there is an option of “buyer request”. Buyers from different countries post their work and you as a freelancer can send your request with a description explaining your services and skills.

6- Start Getting Orders

After you start getting orders, then do them in the best way to have positive reviews. Once you get an order, take all information about that from your client and then go to your freelancer and tell him/her to do the same work (in less money).

Tell him/her to meet the deadlines. When your freelancer finishes the order, take data from them, check that once, and then deliver that to your client.

The Paid Way

This way might be more technical than the first one. You will have to do the following things to get started:

1- Create your Website 

Create your website first and for this, you will need domain and hosting. You can get these services for $3 per month. 

2- Drive Traffic

After building a website, you will need to drive traffic. Different people use different methods to drive traffic on their websites like social media advertisements.

But we will not use that method. We will use Google AdWords as it will place ads on a google search engine that will benefit you a lot. 

You should spend at least $10 daily on ads and if you can spend more than this then that would be good too. 

3- Get Orders

You will start getting orders after the ads start running. So complete your orders, get positive reviews, start earning!!

XVI. Drop Servicing Ideas

Now let me give you two quick ideas to flourish your drop servicing business. 

Make a Good Portfolio

If you want to display your actual skills on your website then you must create a portfolio. Some people think that 5 or 6 samples are enough to show to the customer but I don’t think so.

You must have 15 to 20 samples for each service. For example, if you are offering a service of logo designer then you must have 20 samples of your own designed logos, if you are offering article writing then you must have 20 samples of your own articles.

If you are wondering “why?” then let me make it clear for you. 

Every client has thousands of ideas to have their work done by different freelancers. In case, your samples don’t represent each of those ideas then the customer might not hire you and will go away. 

Now if you want to create the best portfolio then add your maximum samples. You can also use carousels (sliders) to help your customer see your portfolio easily.

Provide Case Studies

If you provide a case study to your customer then it is likely that he will hire you. If you don’t know what is case study then let me tell you. It is actually proof of the effectiveness of your work.

Case studies will develop a good impact of your services on the customer. You can present your case study anywhere on your website. 

Your case studies must show how your other customers grow their business with your help, how they saved money, and many more.

XVII. Where to Find Drop Servicing Clients

Upwork is a freelancing website and a job directory that connects people who need services and assistants with the assistants.

There are different dropservicing jobs such as fulfillment, customer service, marketing & advertising – so it’s worth checking regularly. If you get accepted, it doesn’t mean they will assign you every task on the go. You have to regularly check for new requests in order to get more work or apply for assignments you feel you can handle.

There are many types of drop shipping jobs agencies and marketplaces offer: some only ask for research and information collection, while others also require marketers’ and designers’ input.

XVIII. Drop Servicing Without a Website

You can either hire someone on Fiverr, find a member on Craigslist, ask friends, family members, and use social media to start it on some free site.

If you don’t have a website then go to social media to market your service and get more leads.

XIX. Tips to earn more in Drop Servicing Business

1. Build Relationship

As drop servicers, especially those that are just starting out or have just started working independently, you will find yourself in the position where having a client is paramount to your success. After all, how can you work without someone trusting you enough to hand over money?

• But how much do most small drop servicing business owners talk about their clients?
• How much time should be spent on building relationships with them?
• Should this even be a priority or is it something that should be left for later?

First of all, clients are people too! This means they have emotions and feelings like anyone else. They might bring their issues into work with them or worry about how things are going at home. The last thing they need is to give up the control of their own projects to them.

It will build their belief in you!

2. Study Your Customers

Study your customers’ psychology and discover what motivates them to purchase from you, because, as Schmitt says, “there is no such thing as a ‘one size fits all’ product”.

You must understand who your customers are and what it is that they if you hope to make sales. By studying your customers and understanding their psyche-you’ll be better equipped to maintain customer loyalty once the sale has been made.

3. Offer Perks

Here is an example of a customer perk from BigCommerce!

If you have some royalty program with the client then they will come back again and again.

There is a possibility that they will recommend your product to your peers as well.

4. Stay in Touch

Even though you’re not building a long-term relationship, it’s still good practice to keep your customers informed on what’s going on with your business via email updates.

An easy way to stay in touch is by sending a monthly newsletter that includes new products and content. You can also send them new offers and promotions.
