How to find new clients?

You can use Free & Paid Classifieds listing website as a tool to promote your services. Websites like craiglist, olx , trademyad etc. can be helpful.

 

Hi shahzad! You can find a client through local directories like Manta. Find any nich you want, search for companies or business. Connect with them through email marketing. Find a client who wants their business to grow. You can surely find one. I bet for sure!

 

Thank you for the reply reynescabruner, There is a big question mark on email marketing. Isn't it?

 

freelance sites + ads on local sites and adsense

 

I think nowadays communication is a key to success. Running a business is no longer just product selling but it should involve numerous channels of communication with potential customers. Social media profiles, chat pop-ups, and writing a blog may turn out very beneficial

 

You can easily get people which was related to your product on facebook and twitter by searching with your product name you can easily get them you can connect through facebook friends and you can also follow on twitter also . which help you get exact requirement that client require.

 

Hi - thank you for your suggestion. I am an app and web developer, would you mind to tell me what will be my keyword to search clients. Thank you in advance for your kind response.

 

Create the problem to which you have the solution.
That is shrewed business.
In all seriousness, you should do business to increase gains. Meaning, steer clear from business intended to please the owner etc. Make the owner earn more from your business, then he will come to you.

 

Just to share, I'm not sure if this exist in your country, but I think it should be pretty general.

I'm in a few facebook groups that all IT people join. In there, there's constantly people posting jobs every day. I got a few of my clients there, and I hired a few there too. You should ask your friends in facebook to see if they're in any of those groups.

Good luck

I am in the same industry and have used the same method to attract new clients for years.

I spend an hour everyday, that means 7 days per week, exploring a certain niche of clients.

For example, one day I will do "Real Estate Agents 63129" 63129 is my zip code, I always start out close to home.

I will get a list of websites from Google.

I then look over 5 - 10 of these websites.

I check for broken links, I run an SEO scan and I look for any obvious design issues.

Here is one that netted me a several thousand dollar client:

Hey Guys!

I was looking over your website XXXXXX today and found some great ways to enhance the user experience.

There are several things you should be aware of, just a few are:

1) There are a few broken links on your website.

This will hurt your placement in Google's Search Engine results.
Links appeared here

If these are bringing up 404 (page not found) errors because you don't have any listings in these areas - we should still be displaying a proper page that says something like:

"Sorry! We currently don't have any listings in Kirkwood - could yours be our first?

If you're monitoring Google Webmaster Tools - too many 404 errors will display a warning. I highly recommend hiring a professional to monitor Google Webmaster Tools daily for broken links, backlink spam, security warnings, etc.

2) It appears that the personal address for (name hidden) is being made publicly accessible by the domain registrar.

I recommend using a service like Domains by Proxy to make this information private. It's only around $8.00 per year.

Another option would be changing the registration to your business address - that would work as well.

3) On the bottom right of your website, you are currently displaying social networking icons. This is fantastic!

Your social networking pages are awesome and it appears you are taking great pride in them. Social networks are VERY important in today's internet world.

I just wanted to point out one small issue - it appears the margin isn't wide enough to hold the "In" for Linked In, so it's pushing it to the next line. This is a very simple fix.

I have also attached this image to the email.

I have many other ideas that I think would be beneficial to your team. If you would like to discuss this more, simply reply to this email - I would be more than happy to share some further insight.

I look forward to speaking with you soon - and GO Blues!

I never tried to sell them anything.

All I offered was my advice - for free.

What they chose to do with that information was up to them.

This took me literally 10 minutes and a template could make it go faster - but I like the personal touch.

 

Hi Roger, I completely agree. It’s extremely important to communicate with your clients in order to keep them coming back. Here At MyTime we help local merchants stay in touch with their clients using our Communicator feature. Merchants can address any customers’ question/concerns by messaging them on our app. We think communication is key. Check us out!

 

One thing is to remember that you cannot sit on your back and wait for them to come over the internet to you, it is a lot of work and it is hard but once it starts to come then you can enjoy. I see in some responses you mention that it is hard or it needs a lot of work.
I do suggest you take a look at social media advertising, once you create an ad then you can identify who sees it.
I suggest Linked-in more than other social media though for your type of business.
Content, content and content as well.
Also freelance websites

 

Do you have a portfolio website? What sort of design / development do you specialize in?

 

Yes, I have portfolio. Do you want me to share it with you?

 

Sure, I'd love to see it!

 

i think use ads is an easier choice to get new potential clients

 

Ads on Google? If yes then it is very expensive. Tried it on FB as well but didn't get desired results. Please let me know if you have something different in your mind. Thanks
