start small
build up a vouch thread
buy gfx, trade some gold, provide small services,
use a middle man so you get 2 vouches per transaction over time it will add up
consider donating + mini ranks as they look good and show some commitment to the forums.
all in all best build it over time then try to rush it as that looks sketchy
good luck in the market
I'm sure it's been said several times, but take your time and start small.
Like any other business, you need to offer discounted or free services until you have built up a good reputation for yourself. Once people see that you are trusted, able to complete the job, and friendly they'll want to pay your fee. The friendly bit is italicized because a lot of users don't treat it like it's a real business and forget about the customer service aspect of any service you provide. So, do all you can to not only complete the job but to leave a good impression with whomever you're working with! I look forward to seeing you grow in the community! If you need ANY advice let me know!
Start off doing services for cheap, give people a deposit if required, make sure they are trusted though. Get a few customers, be loyal build up your vouches, try and make a small donation when you can. It takes time. Always be nice and never be arrogant. Be understanding, patient and kind. Also, be efficient.
If you plan to do services to build up a rep, focus on building up a loyal customer base by offering really good customer service. If you're consistent and your customers can always rely on you, they'll keep coming back and you'll grow.
It's way more important to focus on the little people if you're trying to grow and become 'more trusted'. A few people saying good things about you gets you more customers, but a few people saying bad things can destroy your reputation.
Hey Aii, I think you can also start with helping out your friends, by helping out them, they can refer you to other people, and with that you're able to gain a following that will vouch for you! GL i'm on my journey as well!
