2. Transition Existing Clients to Gigant
a) Communicate the Change
Let your existing clients know that they can now book your services through Gigant. Highlight the features that make the experience easier for both of you, such as streamlined booking, secure payments, cancellation policies, and a dedicated place for your appointments.
You can share your Gigant service link directly with your clients through email, social media, or your usual messaging channels.
b) Adjust Your Rates for Gigant
When setting your rates on Gigant, consider whether you want to match what your clients currently pay or adjust your price so that your take-home amount remains similar.
Keep in mind that Gigant charges a 20% fee on successfully completed appointments. Clients may also see payment processing fees depending on the payment method they use.
While these costs may affect your pricing, consider the value Gigant adds through easier booking, payment handling, cancellation protection, and client reviews that can help you build your reputation over time.
c) Make Gigant a Convenient Booking Option
Once you’ve introduced your clients to Gigant, make your service link available when they’re ready to book their next session. This gives them a convenient way to view your availability and book through Gigant when it suits them.
3. Identify Your Target Market
To prevent yourself from getting overwhelmed, we recommend starting by learning where you are most likely to get clients.
You do this by pinpointing where your ideal clients are most likely to be, such as professional networks, forums, or social media groups related to your field. Understanding where your potential clients spend their time will help you focus your outreach efforts effectively.
For example, if you’re in a consulting or advisory profession, there are subreddits on Reddit like r/adviceph where people tend to air their troubles. As another example, if you’re an accountant, the Online Filipino Freelancers Facebook Group is full of people who need help with their BIR filing.
To build credibility in these communities, it’s important to actively participate and offer value before promoting your services. Engaging in discussions, answering questions, and providing helpful insights can help establish you as a trusted professional.
By giving value first, you’ll be more likely to gain trust and, in turn, attract potential clients to your Gigant profile. Remember, credibility comes from contributing meaningfully, not just self-promotion.
4. Leverage Your Network
Reach out to former clients, colleagues, and industry contacts to inform them about your new services on Gigant. You don’t even have to reach out that far; the people closest to you, like friends or family, may just be your first Gigant client.
Personal recommendations and referrals can significantly boost your credibility and attract new clients. Additionally, direct them to where they can see your previous work or examples of what you’re capable of, so they can understand what results they can expect from you.
Once you’ve exhausted your personal network, you can start expanding it slowly. Engage in relevant networking events, webinars, and conferences. Building relationships in these settings helps you showcase your expertise.
5. Make Your Existing Online Footprint Work for You
Your online presence can help potential clients learn about you and find your Gigant services. Start by making sure the places where people already find you are up to date and clearly show what you offer.
a) Keep Your Profiles Updated
Make sure platforms like Facebook or LinkedIn clearly reflect your experience, qualifications, and areas of expertise. A complete, professional profile can give potential clients more confidence when they’re deciding whether to work with you.
b) Make Your Gigant Service Easy to Find
Add your Gigant profile or service link to your social media profiles, portfolio, website, and email signature. Make it easy for people who already know you to discover your Gigant services.
c) Make It Easy to Take the Next Step
When someone expresses interest in your services, make it easy for them to move from “I’m interested” to “I want to book.” Direct them to the most relevant Gigant listing so they can see the details, choose an available time, and book.
Example:
“Remote work not working out? I actually offer 1-on-1 beginner mentoring through Gigant if you’d like some guidance getting started.”
6. Create Content
Creating useful content is a great way to showcase your expertise and attract potential clients. You don’t need a large following to get started—your content simply needs to reach people who may benefit from what you offer. Here are a few ideas you can try:
a) Info-tainment / Educational Videos
Share short, useful videos on platforms like TikTok, YouTube, or Instagram. For example, a nutritionist could share quick healthy-eating tips or debunk common diet myths, while a financial advisor could explain basic investment concepts or common financial mistakes.
Look at successful creators in your field for ideas on topics, formats, and presentation styles, then adapt what works to your own expertise and personality.
Here are some examples:
- Atty Chel Diono’s TikTok for legal-related videos
- Dr. Carol Taruc’s TikTok for medical-related videos
- ChooxTV YouTube for gaming (Mobile Legends) content
- Jax Reyes TikTok for travel hacks and tips
- Fintech Founder Tiktok for personal finance
- Brayarn TikTok for online job guides
Don’t be intimidated by the size of these channels. You don’t need thousands of viewers to find a client. Sometimes, one person who needs exactly what you offer is enough to turn useful content into a Gigant booking.
b) Facebook Pages and Blogs
Share useful, in-depth content through your own blog or a Facebook page focused on your area of expertise. For example, a Japanese language teacher could publish articles or posts about preparing for a first trip to Japan, useful Japanese phrases for travelers, or navigating everyday situations like ordering at a restaurant.
Focus your content on the specific questions and problems your target clients are trying to solve. For example, Remote Filipino Worker creates content around helping Filipinos find opportunities and build careers online.
This can help you demonstrate your expertise while giving potential clients a reason to discover your work before they ever need a 1-on-1 session.
c) Contribute to Social Media Communities
Engage actively in social media groups and online communities related to your field. Share guides, infographics, helpful tips, and answers to common questions or problems.
For instance, a graphic designer could share design tips in communities where startup founders and business owners gather, while a tutor could answer questions and offer study advice in relevant student communities such as r/studentsph.
By consistently providing useful information, you can build credibility within these communities and create interest in your Gigant services.
7. Leverage Gigant’s Features for Growth
a) Encourage Reviews
After completing a session, encourage satisfied clients to leave a review on Gigant. Reviews across proficiency, preparedness, client care, and communication can help demonstrate the quality of your service to future clients.
Positive reviews also provide social proof—showing potential clients that others have had a good experience working with you, which can make them more confident about booking.
b) Learn From Client Feedback
Review your bookings, ratings, and client feedback regularly. Look for patterns in what clients appreciate, what they ask for, and where you could improve.
For example, if a language teacher notices that clients consistently enjoy learning about the culture behind the language, they could incorporate more cultural context into future sessions. If clients frequently ask about a topic that isn’t covered by their current listing, that could also be a sign to create a new service around it.
c) Update or Add New Listings to Keep Them Relevant
As you gain experience and learn more about what clients are looking for, update your existing listings or create new ones to reflect your skills and areas of expertise.
For example, a cooking instructor might notice that complete beginners are more interested in their sessions than intermediate cooks. They could then adjust their listing to focus specifically on beginners, making the service more relevant and appealing to that audience.
d) Make Your Listing Easy to Find
Use clear, specific wording in your listing title and description that reflects what clients are likely to search for on Gigant.
Think about the words a potential client would use when looking for help. A specific title like “1-on-1 Beginner Mentoring for Starting an Online Job” tells clients much more about who the service is for than a broad title like “Career Consultation.”
