5 ways to get your first client
๐งต๐
1. Facebook Groups
There are 2 ways to go about this:
1.1. Join existing Facebook groups of your target clients.
For this one, you need to add value by commenting, answering questions & giving suggestions.
Do not sell your services right away, give value first, then pitch.
1.2. Create your own Facebook group and add your target clients as members.
Some tips for your group:
- Interact with your members
- Add valuable articles and videos
- Pitch your services once a month
2. LinkedIn Outreach
- Use InMail Messages
- Connect with 20-30 profiles of your ideal client every day
While doing this, post valuable tips (for your niche) and after a while, reach out to them to offer your services.
(LinkHelp .io is a great tool to automate this)
3. Freelancing Platforms
How I did it:
- I charged $5 for a website analysis report
- I upsold to a $100 wireframe
- I upsold to a $1k website
- I upsold to a $1k marketing retainer
Don't overlook starting with "small" services.
