They'll appreciate the opportunity, and you’ll be climbing the leaderboard faster than ever.</span></div></span><p></p><hr style="text-align:left;"><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"></p><div style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;">Daily Social Media Habits to Rack Up Points</span></div><span style="font-size:11pt;"><div style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Even small actions can add up. Here’s how to turn daily engagement into consistent points:</span></div></span><p></p><ul><li style="font-size:11pt;"><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;">Follow All Channels</span><span style="font-size:11pt;">: Following all OneBook channels is an easy 20-point boost that doesn’t take long, so start there!</span></p></li><li style="font-size:11pt;"><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;">Tag and Mention Often</span><span style="font-size:11pt;">: Every post where you tag or mention @OneBookPro and use #OneBookAllFall adds 5 points. Consider adding OneBook to any content where you’re tackling home projects or talking about trusted service Pros.</span></p></li></ul><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"></p><div style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-style:italic;">Example Scenario:</span></div><span style="font-size:11pt;"><div style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Imagine tagging us in a post about your home project twice a week—just by doing that, you’re adding 10 points weekly! Combine that with occasional shares and mentions, and it’s a steady score boost without a ton of extra effort.</span></div></span><p></p><hr style="text-align:left;"><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"></p><div style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;">Go Big with High-Point Referrals</span></div><span style="font-size:11pt;"><div style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">If you’re aiming to secure your spot on the leaderboard, referrals are your ticket! Here’s a breakdown of maximizing referral points:</span></div></span><p></p><ul><li style="font-size:11pt;"><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;">Pros = Power Points</span><span style="font-size:11pt;">: Referring service Pros isn’t just rewarding for them; it can be the ticket to winning big. Each Pro you refer who signs up scores you 25 points. If they get verified, that’s another 100 points. Potentially 125 points per Pro!</span></p></li><li style="font-size:11pt;"><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;">The Customer Advantage</span><span style="font-size:11pt;">: Every customer (non-Pro) referral adds 10 points, and while they may seem small, they can help you make incremental gains in a competitive field.</span></p></li></ul><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"></p><div style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-style:italic;">Outreach Tips:</span></div><span style="font-size:11pt;"><div style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Use a personal touch when referring Pros or customers to OneBook. Let them know what makes the platform beneficial—trustworthy, community-driven, and an efficient way to grow their business or find quality home services. Not only will this make them more likely to join, but they may refer others themselves, helping you both win!</span></div></span><p></p><hr style="text-align:left;"><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"></p><div style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;">Track Your Progress to Stay Motivated</span></div><span style="font-size:11pt;"><div style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Points-based contests can feel like a marathon, not a sprint, so tracking your progress will help keep you motivated. Some ways to stay on course include:</span></div></span><p></p><ul><li style="font-size:11pt;"><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;">Leaderboard Checks</span><span style="font-size:11pt;">: If there’s a leaderboard, monitor your rank to gauge how close you are to your goal.</span></p></li><li style="font-size:11pt;"><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;">Weekly Check-Ins</span><span style="font-size:11pt;">: Every week, review how many points you’ve earned and set small goals, like referring one more Pro or tagging us on social.</span></p></li></ul><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"></p><div style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-style:italic;">Example Strategy:</span></div><span style="font-size:11pt;"><div style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Set a weekly goal, like earning 50 points. Breaking it down into smaller actions—one Pro referral, a couple of posts, and a few mentions—makes the goal feel achievable and rewarding each week.</span></div></span><p></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"></p><div style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;">Ready, Set, Win! Tips for Staying on Top</span></div><span style="font-size:11pt;"><div style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Here’s a final checklist to make sure you’re covering every angle:</span></div></span><p></p><ol><li style="font-size:11pt;"><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;">Refer Pros and Help Them Get Verified</span><span style="font-size:11pt;">: Your best chance to shoot up the leaderboard.</span></p></li><li style="font-size:11pt;"><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;">Maximize Social Engagement</span><span style="font-size:11pt;">: Tag and follow, and encourage your network to do the same.</span></p></li><li style="font-size:11pt;"><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;">Stay Consistent</span><span style="font-size:11pt;">: Slow and steady wins the race.

While the urgency to repair homes and businesses is high, so is the risk of falling victim to scams from unverified service providers. In these times, finding trusted professionals is crucial not only for your safety and peace of mind but also for ensuring that your recovery is long-lasting and legitimate.</span></p><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">That’s where </span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;">OneBook’s All Fall Referral Contest</span><span style="font-size:11pt;"> comes in—offering homeowners and community members a chance to connect with trusted pros, help their neighbors, and earn rewards like </span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;">tickets to Universal Studios</span><span style="font-size:11pt;"> in the process. Let’s dive into why choosing verified professionals post-storm is so important and how you can make a difference in your community while getting something back.</span></p><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:13pt;font-weight:700;">The Rise of Scams Post-Storm: Why Verified Pros Matter</span></p><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">In the chaotic aftermath of a storm, many homeowners scramble to fix issues quickly. Unfortunately, this can lead to hiring unqualified or fraudulent service providers who take advantage of the situation. These so-called &quot;bad actors&quot; often swoop in with promises of fast repairs at low prices, only to leave homeowners with more damage—or none of the promised work—after pocketing hefty deposits.</span></p><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Some of the most common tactics fraudulent contractors use include:</span></p><ul><li style="font-size:11pt;"><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Offering </span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;">cheap quotes</span><span style="font-size:11pt;"> but demanding large deposits upfront.</span></p></li><li style="font-size:11pt;"><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Failing to provide proper documentation, licensing, or insurance.</span></p></li><li style="font-size:11pt;"><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;">Disappearing after partial work</span><span style="font-size:11pt;">, leaving the job incomplete.</span></p></li><li style="font-size:11pt;"><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Pressuring homeowners to hand over </span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;">insurance money</span><span style="font-size:11pt;"> for repairs that don’t need to be done.</span></p></li><li style="font-size:11pt;"><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Using poor-quality materials or cutting corners, which often lead to further repairs down the road.</span></p></li></ul><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">The best way to avoid falling into these traps is to work with </span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;">verified professionals</span><span style="font-size:11pt;">—experts who come with strong credentials, proper insurance, and a track record of reliable work. When you choose a trusted pro from </span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;">OneBook</span><span style="font-size:11pt;">, you’re not just safeguarding your property; you’re ensuring that the recovery work is thorough and of the highest standard.</span></p><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:13pt;font-weight:700;">How OneBook Ensures Trust</span></p><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">OneBook makes finding trusted professionals easy, particularly in times of need. All pros listed on the platform are </span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;">vetted, insured, and verified</span><span style="font-size:11pt;">, so you know you’re in safe hands. They also come with reviews from previous customers, giving you insight into their work and reliability.</span></p><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">This is especially important when dealing with </span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;">storm recovery</span><span style="font-size:11pt;">, where the pressure to act fast can sometimes cloud judgment. By using OneBook, you can search for </span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;">service pros</span><span style="font-size:11pt;"> who have proven their skills and integrity in the local community.</span></p><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">But that’s not all—OneBook is helping the community rebuild while rewarding those who refer these trusted pros. This leads us to the </span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;">All Fall Referral Contest</span><span style="font-size:11pt;">, where you can earn points and rewards for referring qualified professionals to others.</span></p><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:13pt;font-weight:700;">OneBook’s All Fall Referral Contest: How You Can Help</span></p><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">After extending the </span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;">OneBook All October Referral Contest</span><span style="font-size:11pt;"> to run through the fall due to the aftermath of Tropical Storm Milton, you now have more opportunities to make a difference in your community and win rewards.</span></p><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Here’s how it works:</span></p><ul><li style="font-size:11pt;"><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;">Share your referral code</span><span style="font-size:11pt;"> with a professional you trust.

After major storms, like Tropical Storm Milton, it's essential to work together to recover, rebuild, and protect one another from scams and subpar work.</span></p><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">By choosing to refer verified professionals, you contribute to a trusted network of experts who will deliver the quality results your community deserves. It’s a win-win: you help ensure proper recovery for those who need it and earn rewards in return.</span></p><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:13pt;font-weight:700;">Don’t Miss Out on the Rewards!</span></p><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Now more than ever, helping your community recover means connecting people with reliable, </span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;">verified service professionals</span><span style="font-size:11pt;">.

<div data-element-id="elm_m84bnaq0T6KvnPPwOU2Nnw" data-element-type="text" class="zpelement zpelem-text "><style></style><div class="zptext zptext-align-center " data-editor="true"><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-weight:400;">If you're a service professional, you know the hustle never stops. But here’s the question: does it really have to be this way? You’re always on the phone, chasing leads, juggling schedules, and dealing with no-shows – not to mention the surprise tasks that pop up when you finally get to the job. It's time to reclaim your day, and here’s how you can do it!</span><br></span><span style="font-size:11pt;"><br></span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;">1. Less Time on Calls, More Time for Work</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">The dreaded ring of the phone – every service pro knows it well. It’s the constant interruption, the ‘quick question’ that never seems to end, the negotiation over rates, and the back-and-forth about availability. Every call can turn into a 15-minute detour, and when you're taking dozens a day, that's hours lost.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">With OneBook Pro, your clients can check your availability, book you directly, and even send over job details without you ever needing to pick up the phone. No more explaining the same thing a hundred times. No more missed calls that mean missed opportunities. You get straight to the work that matters, and your calendar fills up like clockwork.</span></p><h4 style="margin-bottom:2pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;">2. Say Goodbye to Hidden Fees and Surprises</span></h4><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Here’s the thing – traditional service platforms are loaded with hidden fees. From lead fees to booking fees, they chip away at your hard-earned money. With OneBook Pro, you keep more of what you earn. No bidding wars, no extra charges, just a flat rate. You know what you're getting, and so do your clients.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Imagine the difference it makes when you’re no longer losing a chunk of your profit to fees that don’t add value to your business. It’s all about being transparent, straightforward, and fair – the way it should be.</span></p><h4 style="margin-bottom:2pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;">3. Get Verified and Get More Business</span></h4><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Let’s be honest: word-of-mouth isn’t always reliable. Clients love reviews, and OneBook Pro helps you showcase your best ones. Plus, with our new verified badge, clients know you’re a trusted pro the moment they see your profile. No more worrying about whether they’ll choose you over the next guy. You stand out, and you get the jobs.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Plus, that shiny badge looks great on social media, your website, and anywhere you want to promote your services. It’s like having a seal of approval that clients trust – and that’s a game changer.</span></p><h4 style="margin-bottom:2pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;">4. Focus on What You Do Best</span></h4><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">You became a service pro because you’re good at what you do, not because you love administrative work. OneBook Pro takes care of the heavy lifting when it comes to bookings, reminders, payments, and client communication. It's like having an extra set of hands (without the extra hire).</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Spend less time coordinating and more time doing the work you’re passionate about. Plus, with 24/7 pro support, you're never left hanging if something does go wrong. It's peace of mind, packed into an easy-to-use app.<br><br></span><span style="font-size:13pt;font-weight:700;">Ready to Ditch the Phone Calls for Good?</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Stop wasting time on calls and start growing your business with OneBook Pro. Get verified today and enjoy all the premium features – no hidden fees, no hassle, just results. <br><br></span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;">Join now and see the difference!</span></p><p><span style="color:inherit;"></span></p><div><span style="font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;"><br></span></div></div>

Here’s a comprehensive guide on setting up your OneBook profile to ensure it becomes a client magnet.</span></p><h4 style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:2pt;"><span style="font-size:20px;font-weight:700;">1. Add Your Company's Logo and Profile Photo</span></h4><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:20px;">First impressions matter. While clients might find you through your name or booking link, adding a professional logo along with your profile photo helps establish your brand. It not only adds a professional touch but also allows you to showcase more of your services and upsell wherever possible. A recognizable logo can set you apart from competitors and make your profile memorable.</span></p></div>

<div data-element-id="elm_fWClXIqLyp3sApH1QwAx1w" data-element-type="text" class="zpelement zpelem-text "><style> [data-element-id="elm_fWClXIqLyp3sApH1QwAx1w"].zpelem-text { border-radius:1px; } @media (max-width: 767px) { [data-element-id="elm_fWClXIqLyp3sApH1QwAx1w"].zpelem-text { border-radius:1px; } } @media all and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width:991px){ [data-element-id="elm_fWClXIqLyp3sApH1QwAx1w"].zpelem-text { border-radius:1px; } } </style><div class="zptext zptext-align-left " data-editor="true"><div style="color:inherit;"><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">Ready to take your booking game to the next level? With ONEBOOK’s handy sharing link, your customers can easily book your services by simply clicking on a link or scanning a QR code. But why stop there? Let’s get creative and explore seven awesome ways you can publicize your booking link to maximize your reach and grow your business.</span></div><span style="font-size:11pt;">Here’s how you can make it happen:</span><h3 style="margin-bottom:4pt;"><span style="font-size:13pt;font-weight:700;">1. Print It Behind Your T-Shirt</span></h3><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Imagine walking around with a T-shirt that says, “Scan to Book Me!” It’s a brilliant way to promote your services wherever you go. Whether you’re working on a job, grabbing a coffee, or attending a local event, your personalized QR code can catch potential customers' eyes. It’s a walking advertisement that never stops working for you.</span></p><h3 style="margin-bottom:4pt;"><span style="font-size:13pt;font-weight:700;">2. Add the Link to Your Social Media</span></h3><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Your social media profiles are prime real estate for promoting your booking link. Add it to your bio on platforms like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. You can also create engaging posts or stories encouraging followers to book your services directly. A quick, catchy post with a clear call-to-action can drive significant traffic to your booking page.</span></p><h3 style="margin-bottom:4pt;"><span style="font-size:13pt;font-weight:700;">3. Sign Off Your Emails and WhatsApp Messages</span></h3><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">Don’t miss out on the opportunity to promote your booking link in your everyday communications. Add it to your email signature and include a friendly message like,</span></div><span style="font-size:11pt;"><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">“Need my services? Book me easily here!”</span></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">The same goes for WhatsApp messages.</span></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">A quick line at the end of your messages can remind clients and new contacts that booking your services is just a click away.</span></div></span><h3 style="margin-bottom:4pt;"><span style="font-size:13pt;font-weight:700;">4. Feature It on Your Website</span></h3><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">If you have a professional website, ensure your booking link is front and centre. Place it on your homepage, contact page, and service pages. This way, visitors can easily find and book your services without navigating through multiple pages. A prominent “Book Now” button linked to your ONEBOOK page can significantly increase your booking rates.</span></p><h3 style="margin-bottom:4pt;"><span style="font-size:13pt;font-weight:700;">5. Display It on Your Vehicle</span></h3><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">If you have a company vehicle, turn it into a mobile billboard. Display your booking link or QR code on your vehicle’s windows or doors. This way, wherever you go, potential customers can quickly scan and book your services. It’s an excellent way to leverage your daily commute and job site visits for marketing purposes.</span></p><h3 style="margin-bottom:4pt;"><span style="font-size:13pt;font-weight:700;">6. Promote It in Local Advertisements</span></h3><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Take advantage of local advertising opportunities like community bulletin boards, local newspapers, and online community groups. Include your booking link or QR code in any ads you place. Whether it’s a flyer at a coffee shop, an ad in a local magazine, or a post in a neighborhood social media group, these placements can reach a highly targeted audience in your area.</span></p><h3 style="margin-bottom:4pt;"><span style="font-size:13pt;font-weight:700;">7. Run a referral program</span></h3><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Encourage your satisfied customers to share your booking link with their friends and family. You can offer a discount or a small incentive for every new booking that comes through a referral. This not only helps spread the word but also builds a loyal customer base.</span></p><h3 style="margin-bottom:4pt;"><span style="font-size:13pt;font-weight:700;">TAKE ACTION!</span></h3><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Promoting your ONEBOOK booking link is about making it as easy as possible for customers to book your services. The more visible and accessible you make your link, the more bookings you’ll likely get. By integrating these strategies into your marketing efforts, you can maximize your reach, attract new clients, and grow your business.</span></p><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">So, get out there and start sharing your links in creative ways.</span></div><span style="font-size:11pt;">Your next booking could be just a scan or click away!</span><p style="text-align:center;"></p><div><span style="font-size:11pt;"><br></span></div></div></div>

You’ve just finished a tough job fixing a major leak and your phone buzzes with a new request. You check the address and – ugh! – it’s two towns over. Suddenly, your dreams of a cosy evening at home are replaced by the reality of a two-hour drive, endless traffic jams, and the inevitable fight with your GPS.</span></p><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Sound familiar?&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size:11pt;">Then hang on tight!</span></p><h2 style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:19px;">Why Long Commutes Are a No-Go</span></h2><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"></p><div style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">We get it. Sometimes it feels like you’re training for a marathon with all the driving you do. Long commutes can be exhausting, not to mention a total time-suck. More time on the road means less time doing what you love (and less time for that much-needed downtime). Plus, let’s not forget the wear and tear on your trusty vehicle.</span></div><div style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">With ONEBOOK, those marathon drives are a thing of the past.</span></div><p></p><h3 style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:14pt;"><br>Where can I find home service gigs close to me?</span></h3><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"></p><div style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Now imagine this: You’re in the same scenario but with ONEBOOK.</span></div><div style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Instead of trekking across the state, you get a notification of a job just around the corner.
