Airrack is looking for a business development coordinator to drive brand partnerships.
Arcade Media is hiring for full-time video editor and videographer positions.

想要讓客戶一目了然地知道你能做出什麼樣的作品，最好的方式就是提供針對客戶所需的任務或主題相關的樣品，更好地展現你的能力。所以，建議先考慮任務相關的作品，再看看有沒有類似主題的樣本。結合這兩種要素，可以讓對方更清楚地了解你的專業水平，也更容易拿到合約喔！

【Upwork職缺】高薪技能工作，讓你走向財務自由💰

如果想要吸引願意付高價、且願意再次與你合作的頂尖客戶，一定要避免以下七個致命錯誤：

遲交工作

不積極擴大人脈

不投資自己的技能

承諾過多，卻無法兌現

回覆客戶訊息速度太慢

不建立多元化客戶來源管道

對批評或建議反應消極

還有其他避免錯誤的建議嗎？歡迎私訊讓我知道 :)

你正在經營自媒體，想找到更多合作機會嗎？

寫好一封cold email可真不容易！別擔心，我有個方法可以讓你輕鬆搞定！先來填空：Prompt: I'm selling 產品/服務 for TA. I'm writing an email to 公司負責人, who works at 公司. His LinkedIn "about" section is: xxxx.Write a personalized email to him, connecting his "about" to my proposal for 產品/服務. Make the email informal, like you're talking to a friend. Mention facts from the person's "about" section at the beginning of the email.「我正在向 TA 推銷產品/服務，寫一封email給在公司工作的收件人。他在 LinkedIn 的「關於」一欄寫著 xxxx。」記得，在email開頭提到收件人「關於」的事實，再把它與你的建議聯繫起來，用非正式的口吻讓這封email看起來像是在跟朋友聊天。這個公式可以省下你很多時間，因為大多數cold email也會遵循相似的結構。

如果你尋找的是輕鬆且有趣的創富商機

🌼🌱7年累積的園藝網站，月入$14,760，值得投資收購！💰💻

Niche: Gardening

Profit: $14,760/mo from display ads and affiliate commissions

Highlights:

Around 1,000 articles already published
Strong link profile with over 7.5k referring domains
Email list of around 10k subscribers
Writers agreed to continue working on the site after the sale.
Active social media profiles with a combined following of 320k
Traffic is well distributed amongst top pages.
Traffic sources are well distributed between organic (58%) and social (34%).

Setbacks:

This niche is highly seasonal, peaking during the spring to autumn season with average high-season traffic of around 17k per day, while winter season averages are as low as 4k per day.
Affiliate only accounts for 8% of total revenue.
Many top pages are listicle articles that could be easily replicated by competitors or AI.
There are redirects from 3 domains, but the listing only mentions a secondary site.

Easy Wins:

Given the high authority of this website, there are many alternative monetization methods available such as paid newsletter sponsorships, brand-sponsored posts, and private affiliate deals.
Add more affiliate CTAs on relevant pages (e.g., affiliate links for plants, seeds, and gardening tools).
Publish buying guides for gardening tools and related products.
To attract more traffic during the winter months, consider writing more content about hydroponics, aquaponics, and other indoor plants.
Create a complementary YouTube channel where you can discuss topics popular on your site.

Takeaway:

This is a great-looking authority site in the gardening niche. If you're in this niche, you've probably stumbled upon it.

While the niche is highly seasonal, traffic numbers are high. 92% of revenue comes from display ads, while the other revenue comes from affiliate partnerships. Seasonality and the dependence on display ads revenue are the biggest setbacks.

The site has social media accounts on Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram with 320k total followers. There is also a 10k mailing list that could be used for discovering new revenue streams.

Other easy wins include creating a YouTube channel covering the niche and adding more content about winter-related gardening topics.

Valuation:

The site has been valued at $646,379, representing a 47X multiple of TTM of $13,753. While the site is an authority in the niche, revenue breakdown and seasonality are setbacks that would put this site in the range of 40-42X tops.
