Creating a Simple Service Listing

 

When to Use a One-Time Service
A one-time service is perfect for single, well-defined deliverables with a fixed scope and price. The buyer pays once, you deliver the work, and the order is complete.

Examples:

• "I will proofread up to 1,000 words"


• "I will create a favicon for your website"


• "I will write your LinkedIn bio"


• "I will set up Google Analytics on your site"


• "I will design a professional business card — front and back"

If you need recurring billing for an ongoing service (e.g., monthly SEO, weekly content), choose Subscription instead — you can select this in Step 1 of the wizard.

Step 2: Basics
Title
Write a clear, compelling title. Start with "I will..." for clarity, include the main deliverable, and be specific.

✅ Good: "I will design a professional business card — front and back"
❌ Bad: "Business card design"

Category
Select the most relevant category for your service.

Tags
Add searchable keywords that describe your service.

Product Type
Select One-Time — this is the default and the right choice for single deliverables.

Zinner Type
Choose the type of Zinner you are for this service.

Step 3: Description
Short Description — A brief summary shown in search results. Make it punchy.

Full Description — Your full sales pitch. Include:

• Exactly what's included in the service


• Your process from start to finish


• What the buyer receives (file formats, deliverables)


• Any limitations or exclusions


• Why you're the right choice (experience, portfolio, guarantees)

Use the rich text editor to format with headings, bold text, and lists so it's easy to scan.

Step 4: Pricing
Regular Price — Your standard rate for the service. Consider time required, your expertise level, market rates, and the value delivered.

Sale Price (optional) — Set a discounted price if running a promotion. You can schedule sale pricing to start and end on specific dates.

Step 5: Media
Featured Image — Your main listing image shown in search results. Make it eye-catching, professional, and representative of your work.

Gallery Images — Add 3–5 additional images showing portfolio samples, before/after examples, or process screenshots.

Step 6: Service Details
Fill in your service attributes: availability, country, languages spoken, response time, revisions included, experience level, and more. These power the marketplace filters and help buyers find you.

Step 7: Delivery & Requirements
Delivery Time — How many days to complete the order. Be realistic, account for revisions, and remember it's better to over-estimate than miss deadlines.

Requirements — Add questions your buyer must answer after purchasing. Click Add Requirement for each question. Choose from field types like Text Box, Text Area, File Upload, Dropdown, Multi-select, and Radio Button. Mark essential questions as Required.

Good requirement questions for simple services:

• "Please describe your project in detail" (Text Area, Required)


• "What's your deadline or preferred delivery date?" (Text Box)


• "Upload any reference files or examples" (File Upload)

You can save your requirements as a template to reuse on future Zinns.

Step 8: Extras / Add-Ons
Add optional paid extras buyers can select at checkout:

• Faster delivery (e.g., "Express 24-Hour Delivery" — £50)


• Additional revisions (e.g., "3 Extra Revision Rounds" — £15)


• Source files (e.g., "Include Source Files" — £25)


• Extra features specific to your service

Step 9: Comparison Table
Review the auto-generated comparison table. It summarises your pricing, extras, and delivery details for buyers. Edit if needed.

Step 10: Custom Info Fields
Add any additional custom information relevant to your service. Templates are available for reuse.

Step 11: Final Touches
Review everything across all steps, add a thank you note for buyers, optionally link your portfolio, and click Publish.

Your Zinn will be moderated and approved as quickly as possible — then your simple service is live!


Your Progress Saves Automatically
The wizard saves your work at every step. If you close your browser or need to come back later, your progress is preserved — you'll never lose your work.


Tips for Simple Services
✅ Keep the scope clear — Define exactly what's included and what isn't. This avoids misunderstandings and scope creep.

✅ Price for the value, not just the time — A 10-minute task that saves your client hours is worth more than the time suggests.

✅ Set honest delivery times — Delivering early delights clients. Delivering late damages your reputation.

✅ Ask the right questions upfront — Good requirements mean you can start work immediately without back-and-forth messaging.

✅ Use extras to offer flexibility — Not every buyer needs the same thing. Extras let them customise without you creating multiple listings.


Need Something More Flexible?
If a client needs a customised version of your service, you can send them a Custom Offer — a personalised quote with a direct checkout link. Find it under Custom Offers in your Zinner Dashboard menu.
