Can you sell your services through an online store instead of a traditional profile

Sahl Tuesday,15 Jul 2025

1. From Profile to Store!
Many freelancers and service providers in Saudi Arabia are accustomed to displaying their work through profiles on platforms like LinkedIn, Mostaqil, or even Twitter.
But with the development of e-commerce, a more professional and easier way for the client has become available... which is to transform your services into an online store!
2. What's the difference between a store and a profile?
A profile relies on the client contacting you and asking for details. You agree, and then you send them the payment method.
As for a store?
• Clearly displays your services.
• Clients can order and pay directly.
• The order is delivered to you complete with the details.
This saves you time and raises your level of professionalism.
3. What services can you sell?
There are many options, and you don't necessarily have to sell tangible products.
You can sell services such as:
• Graphic Design
• Content Writing
• Translation
• Photography
• Legal or Administrative Consulting
• Social Media Account Management
• Interior Design
• Video Editing
All of these services and more can be turned into products that can be ordered in your store.
4. What makes a customer trust your store?
• A clear description of each service
• Samples of your previous work
• Customer reviews and ratings
• Multiple packages at different prices
• Secure online payment options
All of these enhance your credibility beyond just a profile.
5. Professional Customer Experience
Imagine a customer entering your store, finding all your services organized, choosing the service that suits them, adding it to their cart, paying, and receiving a confirmation message.
All of this without contacting you or waiting for a response.
This kind of seamlessness will make customers come back again, again, and again.
6. When will your store become more powerful than any other platform?
When you link your store to your social media accounts, place the link in your bio, and start receiving direct orders from your audience, you'll notice a big difference in professionalism and income.
Even if you have a page on Mostaqil or Khamsat, having your own online store gives you a different kind of prestige.
7. Be the Brand
Instead of relying on other platforms to showcase you, be the platform.
Your online store is your identity, your path to income, and the showcase of your services to the Saudi and Gulf markets.
This way, you're not just a "profile," but a digital project with a real presence.
