Unlike the phrases we say on Legiit, the Weekend Wackiness is new. It's only barely 3weeks old. However, it will soon be a household thing like Legiit Monday and Legiit Weekly Roundup.
But before all the "wackiness" takes form and flies off the shelves, you can make the most of this one-of-a-kind opportunity.
And here's the best part: It doesn't matter if you're an agency, affiliate marketer, freelancer, or simply a buyer; the Legiit Weekend Wackiness can help you take your business to the next level.
Here (in this article), we shall discuss how you can scale up your business using Weekend Wackiness. We will include examples of how Legiiters are already using the opportunity to get results.
But before that, let's clear the air on what Legiit Weekend entails.
Re-introducing The Legiit Weekend Wackiness
What Do You Know?
A few weeks back, Chris shared something different from his usual pizza: a new idea to improve Legiit's offerings to its users.
Chris termed this new idea Legiit Weekend Wackiness. Now, the name might seem eccentric. If that's what you think, you're right!
The idea behind the Weekend Wackiness sips deep into the core of Legiit, which is, doing new things that are unique to the community. And that is also how we've been able to differentiate ourselves from other marketplaces.
But how does the Wackiness fit in within the mix?
What You Don't Know
The Weekend Wackiness aims to plug the shortcomings of Legiit Monday and The Weekly Roundup. Here is what we mean:
- Thousands of freelancers post their services for Legiit Monday. Unfortunately, several excellent deals get mixed up. Only highly engaging ads see the light of the day.
- Like Legiit Monday, the Weekly Roundup can't also capture all the great deals on Legiit. If anything at all, the Roundup is even a more streamlined idea to handpick services with deep discounts.
- To overcome the shortcomings of Legiit Monday and Weekly Roundup, the Weekend Wackiness will focus on select categories instead of the general posting.
What Is Legiit Weekend Wackiness?
The Legiit Weekend Wackiness is another opportunity like Legiit Monday for freelancers to showcase their services. This time, the categories involved are reduced to one per weekend.
Also, Weekend Wackiness is "Saturday through Sunday." It's different from the "Monday through Tuesday" schedule.
Thanks to that genius scheduling, services that often get lost in the mix have more chances of getting more eye views.
Another distinguishing feature of the Weekend Wackiness is that it encourages freelancers to talk extensively about why they are great at what they do.
On the other hand, Weekend Wackiness allows buyers to highlight their favorite services within the qualified category. And while they are at it, they (the buyers) can earn through their affiliate links.
In a nutshell, the Legiit Weekend Wackiness is gold for everyone. It helps freelancers to sell more. It also guides buyers to get the best deals and earn affiliate commissions.
Nevertheless, we understand you might still be confused about what the Legiit Weekend Wackiness entails. In that case, let's share more information (with examples) about how it works.
How Does The Legiit Weekend Wackiness Work: Everything You Need To Know
Like the name, the Legiit Weekend Wackiness is an opportunity for sellers to showcase their skills and services on the Legiit official Facebook Group on Saturday through Sunday.
Ordinarily, the Wackiness starts anytime around morning or noon on Saturday and ends Sunday evening. That way, buyers won't confuse it for Legiit Monday.
Another feature (and perhaps the most crucial) of Weekend Wackiness is its "one category per weekend" design. That's how it helps sellers get more eye views on services that would have got mixed up during Legiit Monday.
For example, when we started the Weekend Wackiness, we picked the writing category. We encouraged sellers of services in that category to upload their services.
Now, "certain" sellers (from all the categories) are more popular than others - perhaps because they have been on the platform for a long time. Such sellers get the most attention on Legiit Monday. And might even overshadow a newbie.
But with Wackiness, even new writers have equal chances of being seen. Since the category is only writing, there is less competition to get likes and comments on ad copies.
In other words, the Legiit Weekend Wackiness provides a level field for both new and old sellers of any select category to attract buyers to their services. As long as you as a freelancer can craft a compelling ad for your services, rest assured of traffic - and sales.
So far, we see how the Legiit Weekend Wackiness works for sellers. But funnily enough, the idea serves buyers the most. How?
- The Legiit Weekend Wackiness enlightens buyers about special services they might be overlooking. Say you need a niche-specific aid; the idea here will ensure you spend less energy looking for it. All you have to do is wait for the Wacky Weekend for your desired category.
- Category-specific services aside, the Weekend Wackiness also contains several other discounts you can use for your business.
- In addition to saving money through discounts, Weekend Wackiness will help you earn more money. Now, you can get a 15% commission off your favorite services without all the rules associated with Legiit Monday. In other words, you don't have to include a username at the beginning of your copy.
Now, you know what Legiit Weekend Wackiness entails and how it works. Let's show you how you can scale up your business with it.
Getting More Stuff Done With Legiit Weekend Wackiness
Ideas For Sellers, Freelancers, & Agencies
Include Your Unique Discounts
You can disclaim the fact all you want, but discounts are surefire ways to get the attention of buyers. That is why the grossest sales happen on Black Friday.
As a freelancer or agency, you can use that reality for your Weekend Wackiness. Create special discounts and grab the attention of your buyers.
Even better, you could use the hottest keyword on the weekend (wacky) to get more attention. One of our sellers used it, and it worked.
The best part: if you offer a great deal, you might even score yourself a point like this seller and win a spot on the Weekly Roundup. Check this out:
It gets better: the seller didn't just get his link on the Weekly Roundup. He did even better by winning a slot in the top 5 services. That's huge!
Pro tip: offer a general discount on your services rather than just a service. That way, you will ease the burden of copying different discount names for buyers. But if you can only offer discounts on just a service, ensure it's your lead magnet or your highest-priced service.
If you don't know how to create coupons on Legiit, follow these steps:
- Click the "selling" tab.
- Scroll down to General Coupons if you'll be offering a general discount. Then, follow the prompt.
- If you prefer service-specific coupons, select "service."
- A list of your services will pop up; select the desired one.
- Then, toggle the "action" to "coupon." Follow the prompt and remember to add the discount to the promotion page to get even more traffic to your service.
Re-establish Your Thought Leadership
The chances are that your prices are already at the lowest possible. FYI, the "least price" for services on Legiit is $6.
In such a case, you might not be able to offer discounts. If that is you, follow the thought leadership idea.
Instead of offering discounts, reassure buyers of your expertise in your skills. Craft a copy that underlines the problem you want to solve.
From there, highlight how you've helped clients with similar problems. You can even add the reviews of such clients to score a few points. Ultimately, establish yourself as the right hire for the job. Here is an example of this idea:
However, there is one issue with this idea. You need to have copywriting skills. But if you don't, it's okay; you can hire a copywriter on Legiit to help.
Ideas For Buyers, Affiliate Marketers, & Agencies
Tap Into Discounts
We understand the last thing you want as a buyer is to be a cheapskate. In other words, you might not ask for a discount given that the seller deserves the money. But what if the seller is offering the discount generously?
We recommend that you take the generosity. Use it for your business to get more stuff done for less.
Fortunately, the Legiit Weekend Wackiness is another opportunity to fish for such discounts. Like the "wacky" example we cited earlier, there are several discounts unique to the Weekend Wackiness. If you stick around long enough, you'll find one for a category you desire.
When you do, you can reduce your expenses (by at least 43%) like the buyer in this frame:
Affiliate Earnings
As we mentioned earlier, you might prefer that a seller gets what they fully deserve. In other words, you won't use the discount codes even when you know your favorite seller has one. If that is you, bravo!
But do you know you can still earn side income despite all that chivalry? How?
You can recommend the services of your favorite freelancers and include your affiliate link. But there are a few conditions to it:
- First, the service must match the accepted category for Weekend Wackiness.
- Most importantly, the service must be what you have used. Else, you won't even get the affiliate link to start.
Pro tip: a seller on Legiit can still earn through an affiliate link of another seller given that he bought the service of the latter.

Success Stories From The Wacky Weekends
We received some feedback from users concerning the Weekend Wackiness. From the lot, this seller stood out for us:
The seller (Zohaib) had no service before the Wacky Weekend for the Graphics Design category. He created one that day, posted his service, and has been on a roll since. It's incredible!
Bottom Line
You can be like Zohaib. Tap into the next Legiit Weekend Wackiness, and get sales. Or you can be like Shannon (the seller with 43% savings on his purchases) and save money.
Either way, the ball is in your court; play it!
