Offering Samples?
If you are a writer or an artist, it is conventional to have a portfolio to show when you apply for a job. Especially in the creative fields, people don’t know what type of style or what slant your skills have if they can’t see samples. On a web site you want to be careful how you display writing and art samples, without encouraging theft, but there are ways.
If you create objects and items to sell, then photos would help. If it is software or an e-book, you can give away samples to try, but which are locked so they are not complete until the customer pays the full price, and you give them a digital key to open up the full product. If you stop to think it through, you should be able to find some way to show the quality of your work to prospective buyers.
The next best thing is to collect testimonials of happy customers - as we’ve said before.
