Your marketplace profile may be doing a better job selling you than your own website.
You already have projects, reviews, testimonials, and proof. This workshop will show you how to bring that proof home.
If most of your best clients have come through 99designs, Upwork, Fiverr, Squarespace Marketplace, Contra, expert directories, or other platform referrals, you may already have more proof than you realize.
The problem is that too much of that proof may still live inside the marketplace.
Your reviews are there. Your project history is there. Your strongest client language is there. Sometimes even the trust is there.
So when someone lands on your own website, they do not always see the same reason to trust you.
The Marketplace Exit Plan is a live workshop on turning marketplace proof into an owned lead path.

The marketplace gave you more than leads.
```A marketplace does not just send people your way.
It gives buyers a place to compare options. It shows reviews in context. It creates trust. It gives the buyer a familiar path to hire you.
That is useful. But when you want more direct inquiries, better clients, stronger referrals, or bigger projects, your own website needs to start doing more of that work.
This workshop is not about quitting the marketplace overnight.
It is about making sure the marketplace is not the only place your proof works.
You do not need to start from scratch. You need to organize the proof your past clients already gave you.
What we’ll cover
```- How to audit your marketplace profile for hidden proof, patterns, reviews, and client language.
- How to identify which past projects should become case studies, service pages, or landing pages.
- How to turn marketplace reviews into stronger website copy and clearer proof.
- How to make your own website easier to trust, instead of sending everyone to a general homepage.
- How to create better paths from site credits, portfolio links, referrals, and past clients.
- How to follow up with past clients for repeat work, referrals, testimonials, and introductions.
- How to build a simple 30-day plan for moving from marketplace-dependent to owned-demand.
This is for you if…
You have gotten meaningful work through a marketplace, platform directory, expert profile, or partner referral system.
You have strong reviews, but most of them live somewhere else.
You have completed projects you are proud of, but your own site does not fully explain why those projects matter.
You want more direct inquiries, but your homepage still feels too general.
You know your past work should be creating more opportunities than it currently is.
You are not trying to burn down what has worked. You are trying to build the next layer of the business.
You’ll leave with a simple 30-day plan.
```This workshop is designed to be practical. You will not leave with vague advice about “building your brand.”
You will leave knowing what to look for, what to extract, and what to build next.
- A Marketplace Proof Audit: what proof you already have and where it lives now.
- A Case Study Map: which projects should become owned proof.
- A Service Page Direction: which type of work your proof supports best.
- A Website Trust Checklist: what your own site needs to make buyers feel safer.
- A Past Client Follow-Up Plan: who to contact and what to ask for.
About Omari
I’m Omari Harebin, founder of SQSPThemes.
For the last 11 years, I’ve been building inside the Squarespace ecosystem: templates, plugins, courses, directories, content, consulting, and digital products.
SQSPThemes grew out of client work, platform relationships, and repeated problems I kept seeing in the market. Over time, that turned into more than a million dollars in digital product revenue.
I’ve worked with designers, developers, plugin creators, template sellers, and creative freelancers who are trying to turn past work into stronger positioning, better offers, and more direct demand.
This workshop is built from a pattern I’ve seen many times:
A creative business has proof, but the proof is scattered.
The next move is not always a new offer, a new niche, or a full rebrand.
Sometimes the next move is bringing the proof home.
