Are you struggling to get clients for your freelance business?

Hey, are you struggling to get clients for your freelance business? I am not going to suggest websites like fiver or freelancer. Let’s look up some easy methods to get clients today.

Targeting a community.

You can target a particular community to get more client’s. for example, if you are a web developer, you can build a website for your church or an educational institute or your residential association, then you may get the community’s attention.

people related to the community having any requirements based on your service there is a higher chance to call you. bcoz they personally know you and your capabilities.* i got some clients by doing this in the past. in my case, I made a website for a church and after a few days, I got a few enquiries and clients from it.*

Reaching out to local businesses

as a freelancer, your clients are mostly businesses. reaching out to businesses nearby your town will give you good opportunities. You can look for businesses in the google map that doesn’t have websites or digital presence you can go and meet them. also, you can show them how their competitors perform on the web and what should they improve, then offer your services.

2 years ago I contacted a home nursing consultancy and offer them my digital bundle. I did google business optimization, website redesign and SEO for them. and now they are no1 in the city. afterwards, they called and asked me to do the same on their surgical equipment’s shops, and they are still my active client.

Mouth Publicity

Mouth publicity is the main method of promotion which I got. my clients referred me to others. as we all doing business with other businesses the community is big. If you can keep your promise they will refer you to their friends. that’s how I got lots of projects. here our clients are our advertisers. After completing a project you can tell them to suggest me to others or ask them to introduce someone. Trust is the mainstay in this field, if someone trusts you, they will recommend you.

And it’s very easy to convert them into our clients. One of my clients suggested me to a supermarket owner he just called me and I converted an ecom website deal in a single call.
