Your first week on Mindhyv: a checklist

Set up in a week, not a weekend of dread.

A new marketplace profile feels like a mountain when you look at it all at once. Broken into days, it’s a series of short, finishable tasks. Here’s the order that gets you booking-ready fastest. Mindhyv’s platform fee is low — as low as 5%, and 5–12% depending on your plan — so you keep more of what you earn, and every hour you invest here compounds directly.

Day 1: Claim and frame

Create your account and write your one-line promise: who you help and what result you deliver. Add your name, photo, and location. People book people, and a real face outperforms a logo on a new profile. If you’re stuck on the wording, the storefront setup guide has a fill-in-the-blank template.

Day 2: Build your storefront

Turn the frame into a full storefront: your offers, what’s included, and your process. Write the service listing so it reads as an answer to the buyer’s question, not a résumé.

Day 3: Price and package

Set your numbers before anyone asks. Work through how to price your services, then present three tiers instead of a single rate — see packaging your services. Because the platform fee is low — as low as 5%, versus the ~20% many marketplaces take (as of mid-2026) — far less gets shaved off the price a buyer sees, so you don’t need to pad your rate to cover a big cut.

Day 4: Start verification

Begin the seller verification process. It checks identity, track record, and payouts, and a verified badge makes a brand-new storefront easier for buyers to trust. It can take a little time to clear, so start it early in the week. The verified seller checklist walks through exactly what to prepare.

Day 5: Prove it

Add your portfolio and any early social proof. No clients yet? The portfolio with no clients guide shows how to build samples buyers trust. One real client sentence beats three paragraphs about your passion.

Day 6: Set the money rules

Configure your booking, deposit, and payment terms so you’re protected from client one. Connect your payouts so paid work actually reaches your bank.

Day 7: Go live and tell people

Publish, then drive your own first traffic — the marketplace is new and growing, so your early bookings come from you sending your storefront out. Use the warm-circle script in get your first five clients.

The week-one checklist

• Account created, name, photo, location added
• One-line promise written
• Storefront and service listing published
• Prices set; three packages live
• Verification started
• Portfolio and any proof added
• Deposit, payment terms, and payouts configured
• Storefront sent to your first 15 contacts

One more thing worth doing early: the referral program lets you earn on sellers you bring in. Details may evolve, so read the current terms before you lean on it.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to start selling on Mindhyv? About a week if you work through it a step at a time — storefront, pricing, verification, and proof. Trying to do it in one sitting is what makes people stall.

What should I do first? Claim your storefront and write the one-line promise. Everything else — offers, pricing, proof — gets easier once you have said clearly who you help.

When should I start verification? Early in the week, not at the end. It depends on documents you may need to find, and starting it first means it completes while you build everything else. See the verification checklist.

What if I have no reviews yet? Everyone starts there. Verification, a clear storefront, and a portfolio of self-initiated work carry the first few clients — see build a portfolio with no clients.
