Are you in the business of offering freelance video services? Do you need service ideas so you can cash in on your skills?
Most freelancers start out with one or two solid ideas for services they know they can do well. However, having five or more services advertised on your page is a proven strategy to maximize your profile and drive sales.
As someone who is skilled in the video services category, you are a part of one of the most popular and financially beneficial categories.
As reported by Oberlo, “Studies show that 54% of consumers want to see more video content from a brand or business they support.”
If you are offering freelance videos services on Legiit, there are a variety of services you can create to get more eyes on your Legiit sellers. As a result, your profile will be sure to bring in more money!
There are many benefits to adding more quality services to your seller profile. Most obviously, more services mean your profile will appear in more customer searches.
Also, from a customer’s perspective, showing up to a Legiit seller profile that offers a wealth of niche services is much more impressive than a profile with just one or two. In short, it makes you look more professional and credible to have a variety of services to choose from.
Build Your Seller Profile
User: AmedAbraham
The secret to building your profile is to pinpoint services that complement the core services that kicked off your seller profile. To begin brainstorming and generating ideas, consider answering the following questions.
Ask Yourself
- Are there any services people request that I have to make custom services for?
- What skills do I have that would be transferable to other service types?
- Are there any services I can offer to complement the ones I already have on my profile?
- Are there any services I haven’t offered yet because it would require me to step outside of my comfort zone?
If you find that many of your past customers have asked for a special customer service you don’t offer, that is a big indicator that you should try offering it as a service on your page. Clearly, there’s a demand for it!
Normally, there are services you can offer that will complement something you are already doing. For example, if you offer a service in explainer videos, then you are probably equipped to also provide a separate video editing service.
Diversifying your seller profile on Legiit is just one step to generating more orders through the platform.
As the Internet and the world of freelancing are ever-changing, it is important to stay on your toes and adjust your freelance approach as needed. For more applicable ideas, check out this article about How To Get More Orders On Legiit.

It takes quite a bit of time and patience to learn how to edit videos properly. Many people, especially those running businesses or busy social media accounts, don’t have time to sit and learn how to edit videos.

Compelling Voice-Overs
Do you have a pleasant voice to listen to? Can you speak well and clearly? Do you happen to have an accent or tone that many people enjoy hearing? If so, it may be very profitable for you to offer voice-over services on your Legiit profile!
According to The NYU Dispatch, the need for voice-over acting is expected to grow exponentially in the upcoming years.
In fact, they stated, “The e-learning market is expected to grow to be worth over $200 billion by 2024. This means more demand for skilled voice actors who can give life to educational content in training and explainer videos.”
With those numbers growing and expected to continue to grow, now is the time to jump on the opportunity!
To demonstrate your skills, you can offer to hop on a phone call with potential buyers so they can hear your voice. Or, you can create demo recordings to send upon request.
There are many reasons in which someone may choose someone else to do voice-overs for their videos. While some may think your voice will be more audibly pleasing, others may just not have enough time on their plate to sit down and record a voice-over.
Eye-Catching Custom Animations
Understandably so, video animations have grown in popularity amongst those who create videos as a means to market their services, products, or influence.
Nowadays, most prominent YouTubers have some sort of animation in the introduction or conclusion of their video to up the interesting factor of their videos.
In addition, many businesses and companies use animations in videos to sell their products, services or to even train their employees.
It’s also becoming more and more trendy to have an animated logo for a business or YouTube channel as opposed to a still image.
As you may already know, the social media algorithms on many platforms such as YouTube are more likely to push videos that keep viewers watching.
The algorithm’s job is to keep people on the app or platform as long as possible, and it does this by promoting content that keeps people watching and scrolling.
Animations integrated into video are a very effective strategy to keep viewers watching through visually pleasing and interesting imagery. In addition, animations are known for helping viewers further emotionally connect with the content.
Trendy Whiteboard Videos
Okay, this one takes a bit more tactile artistic talent than the other categories. However, whiteboard videos are a great trend for freelancers to hop on as they are used by many high-paying businesses and influencers for marketing purposes.
So, if you have the skills required to make compelling whiteboard videos, this should be the next service you create for your Legiit seller profile. Review the list of skills below to see if you have what it takes!

Personable Spokesperson Services
In a world where videos sell, many businesses know of the importance of creating filmed content to sell their products and services. However, not everyone is cut out to be in front of a camera.
When we say that, we’re not referring to appearances. The reality is that not everyone is comfortable hopping in front of a camera to put their voice, face, and body out there on the Internet.
Therefore, many are willing to hire an outside person to serve as a host in their videos and a personality or “face” for the business.
So, if you are comfortable with being on camera and you are reasonably quick and learning scripted material, this may be the next service for you to post.
Put on your best smile, speak clearly, and flex those personable video personality skills! To get a leg up in this category, you may want to consider starting your own YouTube channel.
Starting a YouTube channel and posting regularly will give you an organic portfolio to share with your future customers. To help you get started, here is an article about YouTube For Freelancers – Diversifying Your Income Streams and Getting More Clients.
