Start with a Blog: Create a website or a blog that highlights what makes your services unique and valuable. You are here, reading mine, right? Blogs are still relevant, I would say more now than ever!
This is one of the best ways to reach potential clients online and position yourself as an authority. In addition to providing information about what you offer and how it can help your readers achieve their goals, be sure to include testimonials and other forms of social proof to show potential clients that you are the right person for the job.
Create and Share Content on Social Media to Drive Traffic Back to Your Website: This can include posts about your services, helpful tips, and advice related to your area of expertise. Engaging with others in relevant discussions online, and even posting fun and playful memes. If you have the budget, you can also use targeted advertising campaigns on Facebook or Twitter to reach new audiences and build awareness of your new business.
Give Presentations at Local Events or Conferences Focused Around Your Niche: Participating in local events will allow you to connect with potential clients face-to-face. Not to mention, it further establishes your credibility as a leader in the field by showcasing your expertise on the topic.
Get Involved with Similar Online Communities: Get involved with relevant online communities and forums to build relationships with potential clients and referral sources. When you actively participate in these communities, you will become known as a valuable resource and trusted advisor. Being a great resource and not a skeevy person on the hunt - but actually connecting and helping others will make it more likely that people will turn to you.
Streamline and Focus Your Marketing Strategies: When you do all of the above, make sure your marketing efforts are targeted and focused on reaching your ideal clientele. Trying to reach everyone is not only ineffective, but if you are paying for advertising, it can also be costly. Don’t skip researching your target market and crafting a marketing strategy that specifically addresses their needs, wants, and concerns.
