I've recently started a small company with a team of expert writers. We're focused on providing quality content for anyone out there. We're working with 3 companies at the moment but I'd like to expand my client base. What's the best way for us to get our name out or to promote our services? What other forums/communities are there that would be possible to tap into? Thanks!
I would suggest you to start advertising your company in social media platforms because everyone is looking online support.
social media isn't as helpful in my country. it's quite difficult to tap into the market using social media because people are only beginning to realise the potential of online businesses in my country. thanks for the suggestion!
Before answering your query, I am throwing a question at you. You have mentioned that -"social media isn't as helpful in my country", so why you are focusing at your own country or local area when there is a huge market available online and there are endless clients waiting for quality writing service. I would like to suggest you to make your firm internet presence on social media. You have to agree that the world is progressing towards online and you can never guess its pace of progress. The people who are just beginning to realize the potential of online business will suddenly start shifting their business online and if you have your firm presence right now, then you will definitely get the advantage of coming first. Till then target different companies available online and offer them quality service. This will give you extra advantage. If companies online get satisfied with your work, ask them to write testimonials for you. Add these testimonials to your website or blog this will boost the faith of other potential clients who are landing on your site or planning to get your service. Even when your local people will start moving online they will start notice that someone from their local place has gain a lots of positive testimonials from clients of different countries and this will help you to get an advantage to capture the local market too. So, if you agree with above all, then it is the time to take action - So, what to do next? Create a linkedin profile and look for the clients there. Linkedin is a good place for writers to acquire business. Facebook and twitter also works a lot to spread your business. Simple steps to follow - After creating your profile on Linked in, Twitter, Facebook.. Search for the profiles who are associated with writing and then browse through their profile to check whom they are latched to. You will get your potential clients there. The all you need to do is just keep your mind open and approach every one you feel good with right strategy. Please keep in mind never spam else you will be finish just before your career starts to fly. People hates spammers. Spamming is a cheap business and you can only attract cheap people with spamming. And once you are recognized in the market as spammer, no good companies or clients will ever like to latched to you. Wise and good customers, clients take note of every small things.. So, avoid spamming.
