your gig’s title.
-

words into the title to ensure it catches your target customers the
attention and is relevant to him/her.

consider using titles such as

STUNNING and BONUS. These words definitely help to catch the
attention of the right people.
Secondly,
they all are appealing to the most important aspects that any person
who wants to design a logo is looking at.
For
example, the first title “3 MAGNIFICENT logos in 24 hours” will
appeal to the people who are in urgent need of a logo.
The
second title “PROFESSIONAL logos with free revisions” will appeal
to the kind of people who want the option of incorporating their
changes into logo design.
The
third title “2 STUNNING logos BONUS Free editable file” will
appeal to the people who have some knowledge of logo designing and
want to customize the logo on their own.
5.
Create your gig’s image - While doing initial homework you must
have observed that some gigs have better images than other which
makes them really stand out. Shortlist such images and take
inspiration from them while modeling your image.

tools such as Pixlr or BeFunky to create your gig’s image.

order with you. So you must ensure that your gig's description is
