MenuI have just joined Clarity as an expert and I'm interested to know how others are promoting themselves on the platform.
This question has no further details.
Answers
What a great question / thanks for asking. Here's how some of the top experts are getting more calls.
1. Link Clarity on Social Profiles ( http://clarity.fm/me <- click to get your link)
- Obvious: Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, Facebook
- Others: Email Signature, Blog Widget https://clarity.fm/account/widget
Pro Tip: Schedule Tweets, Facebook Post or LinkedIn Message every week promoting your URL (I use www.bufferapp.com to do this)
2. Engage On Clarity
- Use your VIP link to offer free calls to build your reputation & ratings (+ Reviews) https://clarity.fm/account/vip-link
- Answer questions on Clarity (5% of question end up in a call request) https://clarity.fm/questions/f/status=open
- Promote your Clarity profile link (Views = Quality) / View above
- Ensure (if you have the skills) you set your Areas of Expertise and use Keywords that people search for .. essentially anything that helps them make money (Fundraising, Marketing, Sales, Biz Dev, Legal, etc)
3. Engage Outside of Clarity
- Quora: Many of our experts have migrated their questions from Quora to Clarity Answers (Copy/Paste & Answer). It's a hack, but legal and fair. These answers show up on their profile so it help build credibility.
- Quora #2: Answer questions on Quora, and at the end of your answer, link your Clarity profile URL
- LinkedIn: Engage in Q&A within groups and add your Clarity profile URL at the end of your post.
- Guest Post (Other People Blogs) and at the end of the post, write "If you'd like to discuss further, call me on Clarity"
- About.me - Add your Clarity URL
- Forums: Depending on your expertise, you can find Forums to help others (answer questions) but always end with your Clarity profile URL
I'm assuming you seeing a trend...
The more calls you do on Clarity + Ratings you get + Answers that get voted high quality (for a Topic) the higher you'll rank within our search.
That being said, 70% of my calls come from me promoting my Clarity link and I'm personally making $3-4K per month right now (and that doesn't include any #3 tactics (Yet! :).
Hey, Dan. Thank you for the answer. It's great to have tips from the actual founder.
I'm looking forward to see how your platform will develop into the future. I also found you on Twitter and I may schedule a call if I need something into the future.
Best regards,
Martin Zhel
I make it a habit to push people that e-mail me with questions to Clarity instead. If I can't answer the question with 2 / 3 sentences (in an e-mail), I propose a Clarity call.
Beyond that, I promote Clarity via my blog and I send out 1 / 2 tweets a month.
I am simply relationship and list building. Always endeavor to built trust by offering real and actionable value. Give them a free and delicious appetizer and they will gladly pay for an entree and desert!

How it is that clarity sends me an email about a subject I have been searching for via Google a few days after my search. Are you spying on me?
I'm a software developer at Clarity and I built the weekly digest email that I'm assuming you are referring to. I can assure you that we do not spy on you and can't keep track of what you have searched for on Google. The subject of the email is the first question shown in the email. The questions that we feature are chosen based on some internal factors, mainly popularity.Vincent RoyVR

How do you convince your customers to pay for your consultation time on clarity?
The way I see things, a pay-per-minute phone consultation ought to involve no sales pitch whatsoever. Nobody wants to pay for that, and nobody should. Consulting and sales are utterly different roles. Mutually exclusive, in fact. Is your value proposition external to the call or internal? A consulting call ought to be self-contained. By the time a client hangs up, they ought to be in a better position than where they started – with no further obligation to pay us. So ask yourself what the purpose of the phone call is. If your goal is to sell a product or service – a useful WordPress plugin in this case – then the call is a sales presentation not a consultation, and it ought to be free. The hard truth of sales is that a large percentage of prospects (the majority, usually) won't buy, even after a 30-minute presentation about the virtues of your offering. Time spent talking to dead ends must be factored in to your price and recouped by successful sales. Adding that cost as a fee for the sales pitch itself won't work out well. This is sometimes a tough distinction to make. In my own case, I offer a number of services (e.g. brand name creation) that go beyond the scope of a 15-minute phone call. When someone is paying me $5 per minute, I don't want to squander their time and money by explaining some other paid service! So the rule I've set myself is to stick to problems I can solve on the phone. When it's appropriate to explain the broader services that I offer, I try to do so in a non-paying context. Mainly through email. There's nothing wrong with using a free Clarity.fm call for a sales pitch. But it does sound like you're using phone calls in order to pitch a purchase; so charging for such calls would probably backfire.Joseph PetersonJP

What is best way to get my clarity profile going?
Hi there, I know this can be a frustrating problem.. I've been on Clarity since 2012 when its creator, Dan Martell, invited me and several others to the launch event and asked us to sign up as experts. For the first few years, I had hardly any calls. Also, it seemed like only those in the IT startup space were getting any traction. This was frustrating for a small business advisor like me who mostly works in the world of bricks and mortar. Things started to change for me after a few key things: 1. I started to drive my own 'tribe' to call me on Clarity. This increased my reviews and call stats on the platform and I believe this made my profile more attractive to Clarity 'native' traffic. 2. Clarity has been growing its reach. I'm meeting more and more callers who are not in the 'online startup' space who found me on Clarity. 3. More and more of the 'online startup' people are actually creating real businesses and have real business problems that I can help with... meaning they're actually having sales, organizational problems, partner concerns, etc.. not just chasing Angel Investors with their ideas. 4. I started to regularly check for public questions I could answer and I know this has led to several calls. I hope this helps, If you'd like me to review your Clarity profile and give some specific direct feedback, just arrange a call. Thanks David www.DavidCBarnett.comDavid C BarnettDC

What are some of the Clarity.fm categories that are short on experts offering calls?
Given the other discussion about lack of females showing up as experts, perhaps a Ladies Only category might be of interest to some. Throwing it out there #itsachickthingKelly FallisKF

What does clarity do really well? And what could clarity improve on in the future?
Their phone system works really and simply delivers what is expected. I think having an availability time calendar would be very beneficial so that scheduling matches our availability. Being able to record calls and charge clients an additional fee for that would be great. Also, screen sharing would be good too.Alaa Hassan - eCommerce Expert, Digital Marketing, Growth & Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO)AH
