Post your business wins on your personal Facebook page. People you know may have referrals for you.
Build your email list. As an incentive offer a freebie, for example: – Marketing checklist – Consult with you – Other, depending on your product or service
Start a Facebook Group (or other online community. I like SuccessCenter.com
Follow up, follow up, and close (If they joined your list, they are interested.)
Give a free sample of your work. Outline what you would do for your clients, depending on your business.
