How It Works (10 minutes to set up)

Step 1: Create Your Profile

Go to expatsnomads.com → Click "Sign Up" → Select "Expert" as your user type → Fill in the form. Add your photo, professional background, languages, and services you offer.

Step 2: Add a Professional Photo

Your photo is the first thing clients see. A good photo builds trust instantly.

✓ Do

  • Clear photo of your face (head and shoulders)
  • Good lighting — natural light is best
  • Smile — friendly and approachable
  • Professional but not stiff — business casual works
  • Plain or simple background

✗ Don't

  • Logos, landscapes, or group photos
  • Sunglasses or photos where your face is not visible
  • Blurry or dark photos
  • Photos that look 10+ years old
Tip: Profiles with professional face photos get 3x more bookings than those without.

Step 3: Write Your Bio

Your bio should answer: Who are you? What do you help with? Why should clients trust you?

Example Bio:
"I'm a tax advisor with 8 years of experience helping US expats and digital nomads. I specialize in FEIE, FBAR reporting, and tax residency planning. Based in Lisbon, I work with clients relocating to Portugal, Spain, and across the EU. I speak English and Spanish. My goal is to make taxes simple — no jargon, clear answers."
Tip: Write in first person ("I help...") — it feels more personal than "John helps..."

Step 4: Create Your Service Listings

Create multiple listings — one for each service you offer. This helps clients find exactly what they need.

  1. Log in to your account at expatsnomads.com
  2. Click "Add Listing" or "+" button
  3. Choose your listing type (Written Answer, Document Review, Video Consultation, or Follow-up Question)
  4. Fill in all fields: title, description, price, category, location
  5. Add a cover image
  6. Click "Publish"
✓ GOOD Listing Example:
Title: Portugal Digital Nomad Visa — Written Q&A
Description: Submit your question about Portugal's Digital Nomad Visa and receive a detailed written answer within 24 hours. I'll cover: which visa type is right for your situation, income requirements, documents you need, step-by-step process, and timeline. Perfect for remote workers, freelancers, and entrepreneurs.
Price: $30 · Category: Visa & Immigration · Location: Portugal
✗ BAD Listing Example:
Title: "Visa help"
Description: "I can help you with visas. Contact me."
Why it's bad: Too vague, no keywords, no details about what client gets.

Step 5: Add Listing Photos

Each listing needs a cover image. A good image makes your listing stand out.

Free stock photos: unsplash.com or pexels.com — search your city name or service type. Horizontal, minimum 1920×1080.

Step 6: Get Approved & Start Receiving Clients

We review your listings within 24–48 hours. Once approved, you're visible to clients searching for experts in your country and category.

What we check: Clear service descriptions · Professional photo · Appropriate pricing

Use the Right Keywords

Clients search by keywords. Include relevant terms in your listing titles and descriptions.

When You Get a Booking

You'll receive an email notification. Here's what to do.

For Written Answer / Document Review:

  1. Check the booking details — read the client's question or review the uploaded document
  2. Prepare your written response (clear, actionable, no jargon)
  3. Submit your answer through the platform within 24 hours
  4. The client receives your response and can leave a review

For Video Consultation:

  1. Check the booking details — date, time, topic
  2. Message the client on the platform to confirm and send your Zoom or Google Meet link
  3. Review any documents or questions the client sent before the call
  4. Start on time. Listen first — understand their specific situation. Give clear, actionable advice. Summarize next steps at the end
  5. After the call, send a follow-up message with key points discussed and any links or resources you mentioned
Example welcome message:
"Hi [Name]! Thank you for booking a consultation with me. I'm looking forward to helping you with your questions. Here's the link for our call: [Zoom/Google Meet link]. If you have any documents to share, feel free to send them here before our call. See you soon!"
Important: Always communicate through the platform. This protects both you and the client and ensures payment processing.
Remember: One good $25 written answer can turn into a $5,000 visa application client. Great consultations lead to reviews, referrals, and full-service clients.

Ask for Reviews

Reviews are essential. Clients trust experts with good reviews. After a successful consultation, ask the client to leave a review.

How to ask:
"Thank you for the consultation today! If you found it helpful, I'd really appreciate a quick review on Expats & Nomads — it helps other expats find reliable help. Thank you!"
Goal: Get your first 5 reviews as fast as possible. This builds credibility and improves your ranking.
