Just launched your online business? Congrats! Now, let’s talk about clients. because no matter how awesome your service is, if no one knows about it, it’s hard to grow.
1. Leverage Networking (Without the Ick Factor)
Networking doesn’t have to feel awkward. Join groups (online or in person) where your ideal clients hang out. Facebook groups, LinkedIn, or industry events are great places to start.
2. Ask for Referrals (Yes, Really!)
Don’t be shy - ask happy clients or your existing network for referrals. Word of mouth is powerful, especially for service-based businesses.
3. Show Up as a Speaker or Expert
Got something valuable to share? Pitch yourself as a guest speaker for webinars, podcasts, or panels. Sharing your knowledge builds credibility and gets your name in front of the right people.
4. Partner with Other Service Providers
Look for non-competing businesses that share your target audience. For example, if you’re a web designer, teaming up with copywriters or SEO experts could send referrals your way.
5. Know Your Ideal Client Inside and Out
It’s easier to market when you know who you’re talking to. Define your ideal client and create offers that solve their specific problems. Your messaging will resonate more - and clients will naturally find their way to you.
