How to Get Clients

 How to Get Clients

1. Pick a Clear Niche & Service

Focus helps you stand out. Example niches:

• Local businesses (gyms, dentists, restaurants)

• Coaches and course creators

• eCommerce stores

• Real estate agents

Offer clear services like:

• Social media management

• Facebook/Google ads setup

• Website/landing page design

• SEO audits or content marketing

✅ 2. Build a Simple Portfolio or Landing Page

You don’t need a full site. Include:

• Your services & pricing (optional)

• A few case studies or mock projects

• Testimonials (real or from sample work)

• Contact form or booking link

Tools: Carrd, Canva, Notion, WordPress

✅ 3. Use Outreach & Prospecting

🔹 Cold Email/DM

• Research businesses with poor online presence

• Send a personalized message offering help

Example:

“Hi [Name], I noticed your website isn't mobile-friendly and could be losing traffic. I specialize in fast, mobile-first redesigns. Would you be open to a quick 10-min chat?”

🔹 Job Boards & Marketplaces

• Upwork, Fiverr, Freelancer, PeoplePerHour

• Apply to new listings daily with a custom pitch

✅ 4. Leverage Social Media

• Post value-based content (tips, results, mini case studies)

• Use hashtags and tag local businesses

• DM warm leads who engage with your content

• Join niche Facebook/LinkedIn groups and help others — clients come to helpful people

✅ 5. Get Clients Through Referrals

• Offer 10–15% referral commission to friends/network

• Ask happy clients for referrals or Google reviews

• Offer a “Bring 1 Friend, Get 1 Month Free” promo (for recurring services)

✅ 6. Run a “Free Trial” or Discounted Project

Offer a free/low-cost sample project to build trust and case studies — especially when starting.

✅ 7. Retarget Visitors & Leads

If you’re running ads or getting traffic, use:

• Email follow-ups

• Retargeting ads (Meta, Google)

• Lead magnets (e.g., “Free Instagram Audit”)
