Be on the lookout for this blackhat method for stocking freelance sites

Getting service providers to use a new freelance platform is a bitch.

Need proof? Just ask the hundreds of sparsely-populated Fiverr clones out there.

It's brutal.

So what do blackhat promoters do?

Contact service providers advertising their services on forums and...

tell them they are interested in their services and would like to make an order BUT

there's a catch... the service provider has to put their ad on another platform and the deal would take place there.

Just a heads up so you don't waste time if you're on the receiving end of these shenanigans.

uhm... cuz there's misrepresentation/fraud involved?

What would be whitehat? Be upfront and buy advertising that clearly says 'post your stuff on my platform'

Well, the fact that they keep doing it means someone is falling for it.

By the way, PM me, I have something you might put $$$ in your pockets. The PM will definitely be worth your time.

I agree. This is decently believable compared to so many other things that people fall for.
