About Mavuus

What is Mavuus?

Mavuus is an online job marketplace that connects marketers and service providers to work on all types of marketing projects—from copywriting to web development, design, and beyond. It is the only marketplace that connects people in the marketing field based on personal referrals and recommendations. Looking for a service provider to help with your next marketing projects? Your existing network of marketing connections might help. Find them on Mavuus.

Is Mavuus free?

Mavuus is absolutely free to join, connect with others, and look for service providers. The free membership allows users to display up to three personal recommendations on their profile. If you would like to display more than three referrals and take advantage of those personal connections (along with other perks!), you can sign up for the Premium Membership. We offer a free 30-day trial; then, you'll pay just $25/month or $250/year. We highly recommend this option for service providers. There are no yearly contracts, and you can cancel at any time.

How do I sign up?

You can join the network by following the link here. All you need to provide upfront is your name, email, and password. You can fill in the rest of your profile later.

Can I join Mavuus if I don't have anyone to recommend?

Since Mavuus' primary logic is to connect people based on recommendations, we encourage users to provide at least three recommendations upfront (the more recommendations, the better the network). However, if you can’t think of any vendors at the moment, you can simply recommend Mavuus to the other three peers to join the network.

 

What types of freelancers can I find on Mavuus?

Mavuus is the only marketplace that specializes in connecting marketing professionals with marketing vendors. Our site attracts a wide variety of freelancers/agencies that support marketers, including graphic and web design, mobile and web development, copywriting and marketing content creation, social media management, video creation and editing, marketing consulting, and more.

What browser do you recommend using for a better platform experience?

Is there a limit of how many people I can be recommended by?

No, there is no limit. The more recommendations you have, the more people will find you!

Mavuus for Marketers

I'm a Marketer, how will Mavuus work for me?

The logic of Mavuus is simple and works just like any other online job marketplace platform. If you are looking for a freelancer/agency to help with a one-time project and/or ongoing work, you can easily search our database of service providers and find one that best suits your needs.

Where Mavuus really stands out from other existing marketplaces is that you can easily search for service providers recommended by other marketers that you know and trust. We recommend keeping your network tight (connect with people that you trust) in order to get best quality recommendations. Your network, your connections, your relationships.

Can I deny accepting the connection or refuse to give recommendations when asked?

Yes, you absolutely can and should if you don't feel that this person warrants a recommendation. This is what makes Mavuus trustable—if there is a recommendation, that means it's a real one. No fake or dishonest recommendations.

Mavuus for Service Providers

I'm a service provider, how will Mavuus work for me?

Mavuus is an ideal place for marketing service providers to get more business and high-quality leads. Find your clients on Mavuus (or invite them to join), ask for a personal recommendation, and enjoy the benefits of getting personal referrals from other peer marketers. You can display up to three personal recommendations on your profile (as part of the Free Membership) and then easily upgrade to a Premium Membership if you'd like to display more. The more recommendations you display, the bigger exposure you get from all of your referrals.

Can I rate or give recommendations to a marketer client (that doesn't provide any services)?

Yes, you can. It's important to give recommendations to marketers, too. That helps vendors, like yourself, make an informed choice when deciding whether or not to accept the job.

Setting Up a Profile

Do I have to fill in all the information at once?

No, all you need upon registration is your basic user profile information: name, email, and password. You can complete the profile at any time (we'll give you gentle reminders). We do highly recommend for service providers to thoroughly fill out your profile promptly in order to get more leads and more business. The better your profile is, the more you'll come up in search results, and the more attractive it will look to potential clients.

Does Mavuus share my information with 3rd party providers?

Mavuus will never share any of the information with any third parties. We adhere to full standards of web security to ensure your information is kept safe and protected.

Providing Recommendations

Who should I recommend to join Mavuus?

Technically you can send an invite to anyone that you think might benefit. Either a fellow marketer (because you know how hard it is to find good quality vendors) or your favorite service provider (so your peers in marketing can take advantage of their expertise). We all know the power of star ratings. We recommend that you are mindful of this process. Remember, you are putting your own personal stamp of approval for your peers to see. Would you personally recommend this vendor to a peer if they asked you 1-on-1? That's the logic behind Mavuus.

Can I remove my recommendation later?

Yes, you can. We are all about transparency and real ratings at Mavuus. If you feel like you no longer stand behind a particular service provider, you can easily remove your recommendation at any time. They will not be notified, so no worries about hurting their feelings.

Free vs. Premium Memberships

Can I start for free and then upgrade to a Premium membership later?


Yes, absolutely. In fact, we recommend starting for free, getting your first three recommendations, and then upgrading to a Premium Membership once you have more referrals you'd like to display on your profile. We are confident you will!

Can I cancel my Premium membership?

There are no obligations or monthly/yearly contacts with Mavuus. You can cancel your Premium Subscription at any time by following this link.

Is there a yearly option?

Yes, there is. You can take advantage of our bundle pricing and save money ($50) when signing up for the entire year upfront.

Understanding Our Algorithm

How does Mavuus recommend talent and jobs?

The system leverages a comprehensive algorithm that uses personal recommendations when displaying potential talent and jobs. For example, if Marketer A (who is connected with Marketers B & C) is looking for a Graphic Designer, it will display all graphic designers recommended by Marketers B and C before displaying any other talent.


And vice versa: If Vendor A (who is connected to Marketers B & C) is looking for potential gigs, the system will display Job Postings from Marketer A to connect the two parties in need.

What can I do to be recommended by Mavuus to more people?

Mavuus is all about personal recommendations. The more personal recommendations you have, the more people we'll recommend your profile to (more recommendations = bigger network). You can display up to three recommendations on your profile (as part of the Free Membership) and might decide to upgrade to Premium once you get more.


Remember, it's not just about 'displaying' the recommendations on your profile, it's also about expanding your reach of potential opportunities by having you show up in more search results based on those personal recommendations.

User Rating vs. Personal Recommendations

What's the difference between user star ratings and personal recommendations? Which one is more important?

There is a significant difference that is important to understand.

 

The star rating is a simple rating system (just like on any other online job marketplace). It uses an average of all star ratings provided.

 

Personal recommendations are the features that really set Mavuus apart from any other platform. These recommendations come from real people—your peers. The person posting is equally invested in the vendor doing well because it reflects on them. Another huge upside of personal recommendations is the expanded network. The more recommendations you have, the bigger the network of potential opportunities. Hence, the Premium Membership is highly recommended for service providers with 3+ personal recommendations.
