Although my investment has been relatively low ($600), I have been hired through Bark nearly 8 times, and have made a substantial amount of profit doing wedding photography. I am going to however say that leads generated by Bark are questionable. I have learned which ones to respond to, and stay away from the ones that look repetitive and robotic. Some of the names of the people who are placed requesting Bark are also repetitive. The more leads they send you( usually when your low on credits) the more likely the leads have to be sifted through. I am also a monthly subscriber to their Elite pro membership, and that seems to also have helped generate some good leads.
Hi Michael,
Thanks for the review.
We're are very happy to hear you've been hired 8 times and successfully growing your business.
I completely understand what you're saying with regards to the leads. The requests sometimes can appear to be similar just looking at the brief, the reason is that when we take a customers request, they typically select from drop-down answers, which helps us and professionals get a better understanding of the job requirements and then use open text boxes to allow them to provide additional information about job specifics. In the event, customers don't provide additional information, there is usually some similarities.
That said, location and the customer's name will always be different and since the release of our new site, professionals can now partially view the contact details provided, giving you more insight about each lead before making a decision to respond to it.
Don't forget our customer success team is always on hand to talk by phone or email if you have any questions.
Keep up the great work!
Kind regards
The Bark Team
