How do I sell my video production service here?

I can't speak for Video Production, but you need to keep very accurate notes to get the most out of Thumbtack.

I never intended this thread to go on as far as it has, but you can get some value out of my data analysis of my experience:

What $5,000 buys you on Thumbtack - A Detailed Dive into the Data

My business recently reached a milestone, having spent $5007.99 over our time on Thumbtack.

I have collected 2.3MB of data for my business as a whole on all customers from all sources during this time and I wanted to publish my analysis on Thumbtack interactions in hopes that it can help other Thumbtack Pros' businesses be successful.

Over the next several days, I will be updating this thread with explanations, charts, graphs and other insights.

I hope Thumbtack sees the value in this effort and perhaps even makes this thread a sticky as every Pro can benefit from this information.

As with everything, your results may vary, I highly encourage anyone running a business to track every datapoint Thumbtack shows you, not only how many inquiries and cost, wins vs. losses; but even as granular as the accuracy of the inquiry. (Real example: someone requesting "five cabinet installation" when he wants one cabinet door re-installed.)

In the past, I have worked with systems generating millions of data points per day. I am not a Data Engineer, but I have enough experience to handle a system that generates less than 10 data points per day and produce relevant charts, graphs and reports.

TLDR; I spent $5007.99 on Thumbtack, earned $32,078.25 in Gross Revenue, $13,184 in Net Profit having invested 829.22 employee hours and 5,659 miles courting and working for Thumbtack Users between my employees and myself.

@alexmitar if you're asking about Thumbtack in general, this article about how Thumbtack works is a great place to start! If you're referring to selling services here in this online Community (community.thumbtack.com) this space is only for Thumbtack pros - so no customers here :) You can also join our bi-weekly virtual meetings where you can chat with other Thumbtack pros and get advice. We typically have some photographers/videographers that show up so they could give you industry specific advice. Hope to see you there!
