My most effective marketing methods
In my experience, a great marketing method is the following:
I have a service for website content. If you give me 5 dollars, I will create a high converting post of 300 to 550 words. The truth is that I love to write, and to be honest, my creative being needs more words to decently nail an idea, so most of my customers really get 500 to 950 words when they only paid for up to 450.
This really had a great effect, not only because of the great feedback, which is almost guaranteed to be awesome (think about it, you delivered more than your customer's expectations), but also, this gave me a lot of returning customers, and the great thing about it is that they started to purchase the extras. Yupi!!!
I started to do this because I noticed that it was very hard for me to limit my writing, so one day I simply did it, I wrote until I finished the idea, keeping the balance between my personal satisfaction and the money paid.
The effect was awesome, I never planned this, but it worked very well.
In short, I would suggest you to think about that extra mile that can surprise your customer and assure you great feedback. Needless to say that you have to deliver good quality, if you deliver a bad quality work and you expand that, you won't get anything.
I share this here because I think it would be awesome if more people do this and share their lessons learned, the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Hope you find it useful!

Some customers will keep asking you for more and more and more until you are so burned out after having worked for free that you don't have energy for paid work.
Also remember that free work cuts into time you had for your paid work.
