How to Find More Clients

We all know that in order to survive at freelancing, you need to have good clients. Maybe you only have a few clients, but are looking to get some more. So how can you successfully get new clients. Here are a few tips that might just work for you.

First off you need to talk to people about your business so they know that you are out there. A good rule of thumb to follow is talk to 3 new people a day about your freelance business. You might be thinking that would be hard. But in reality, look at how many people you see a day. At the gas station, grocery store, library, deli, coffee shop, bus station. Just commit to finding 3 people a day and you will more than likely see your business grow.

Make your offer attractive. There are many out there doing the same thing as you. So you need to make your offer stand out. How can you do this? Well you could say if you pay me for 4 articles, your 5th one is free. Or give them 10% off their first order. Making the deal attractive will really make your business thrive.

And finally, connect on social networks. Let others know that you are indeed a freelancer. Post as your status that you are looking for new clients. Make your content engaging and others will see that you are the freelancer for them.

Thank you.

These ideas will really help me get more freelance clients. As freelancers we need to treat our services as a real business, that includes marketing and brand building, not just good quality and customer service.

Thank you for your helpful suggestions. I do have an issue though, as I only have business associates online, and none on a person to person basis. I don't want to use my FB account, as I'm very private about my online work. I suppose I could make a FB account just for this purpose, but then it would take forever to build up clients.

Of course, I can understand your concerns as I'm a very private person too, especially on Facebook. But, I'm sure there is a work around that would let you enjoy having a Facebook page without sacrificing your online privacy or involving your friends and family in your work.

I believe it's possible to post on your Facebook page with a pseudonym, rather than your real name. And, so long as you don't 'like' the page, it shouldn't appear on your own personal timeline in any way.

Advertise your services constantly on forums, even if only via the signature line option. This will get many sign ups to SEOClerks from people who had never placed orders (which could result in affiliate sales for you, assuming you are using an affiliate link) as well as additional income for the order placed for your service.

I liked how you suggested trying to get offline clients to work with you. This is a good suggestion for earning more as many times an offline client will pay you what you are worth.

Thank you for those wonderful tips. Social medias have really helped me to increase my customer base. I have actually advertised for my products on three different sites. I also give discounts to my regular customers so that they keep doing business with me. My friends are also helping me to grow my business by referring others to my Facebook page.
