Today’s Lesson: Creative Ways to Get Clients

This week’s marketing lesson is going to be pretty simple: 3 creative strategies to speed up your client funnel that you might not have tried yet.

1. Facebook Groups
   As we discussed in Friday’s post, Facebook is a juggernaut when it comes to reaching your target audience, but its capabilities extend beyond its ad capabilities. By leveraging Facebook Groups, you can maximize your reach within a specific audience and make intimate connections with your potential clients. Join Facebook groups where your ideal client might be hangin’ out. For example, if you’re a graphic designer, you might want to join groups geared at bloggers or small business owners, as these are people who would need your services. Then, rather than being spammy or self-promoting, be outrageously helpful when people ask questions in the group. It builds your credibility and makes people want to help you in return.

2. Blog Content

   This strategy is key to converting traffic that organically arrives at your website. When visitors arrive at your page who are not yet convinced of your expertise, it is a huge boost to your credibility if they can skim through your posts. These blog posts can be thought pieces about your particular industry, case studies that explain previous work you have done, or they can simply be advertisements for your product or service. There are infinite types of content you can offer through a blog page on your website and they can all help in turning your potential customers into recurring revenue.

3. Answering Twitter (and Reddit) Questions

   Many people take to Twitter looking for advice and recommendations from their peers. To gain credibility among clients of your product or service, you’ll be searching for those people and helping them out. You can try entering the following into the search bar:

   • #(keyword)help

   • Hiring a (keyword)

   • (keyword) recommendations

   It’s very simple, but can be an incredibly effective way to find people who need what you’re selling right now. If they’re asking a question? Answer it! If they’re looking for someone to hire? Be sincere, let them know you can help, and give them a link to your portfolio. Watch as the clients start flowing in.
