Create targeted Ads. What you must realize is that when you are in business, any business, you are in fact in marketing. Everything you do should be with focus on how to market it.
Marketing in itself now a days is engaging your potential users. Create targeted messages for certain situations you see a 'client' needing help with. Then promote that to the best possible sites/events/meet ups/ etc where this customers with this certain issue might gather.
Now, keep in mind that each platform has its code of conduct. Twitter for example is good for sharing info, links and other media. Instagram is best for imagery and hashtags that target certain needs. Not all your services should be promoted on Instagram. Facebook is for leisure so the content you share there should be minimal and native. Native means no long posts, no ads posting links and instead more posts that have minimal text within an image, short descriptions (call to actions) the content used should again be targeted. Have maybe the same image but with variations of messages, and dedicated towards each need you can think of.
Likes mean nothing, if you do get paid ads, have those ads link targeted single page content that have one specific goal: get emails, get shares, get downloads, buy a product, book a call, etc.
Is hard work but if you see it as a strategic approach to every effort you do it will pay back. :)
answer questions that they have via blog posts or videos.
I have found that the best WordPress maintenance clients are your current clients using WordPress. Build their site and then maintain it. Clients you host their website for, maintain it.

Which Content Management Systems are used to create these sites?
I think BuiltWith will do this for you. Plug in the domain and it will tell you which technologies it is built on. Most of the well-known video sites are custom jobs, but I'm sure WP could do what you want.JD

How can I create a searchable large (3 million record) searchable database in WordPress?
Well first off I wouldn't recommend trying to power your client's database with the standard WordPress database instance. They can use WordPress for the website all they like. But with millions of records like that, you really don't want to move those data in with WordPress. For that matter, you're probably gonna want a dedicated database server to answer those questions, if the client doesn't already have one. You might also need to investigate something like Elastic Search, depending on what your search requirements are and what sort of database they are using (pay close attention to whether or not it provides full text search ability). Beyond that, and somewhat obviously, you're also gonna want SSL on the website and to make sure you're up to date on federal and state privacy requirements for data like this, as well as best practices for securely transferring data over the web (port configuration, ssh keys, etc). The privacy concerns would raise a flag for me. If those data have anything personally identifiable in them - which they very probably do - then you're really gonna want to make sure you do your research on security of personally identifiable information. Government specific privacy /security /auditability requirements may also apply, so double check that too.EV

How much should I charge to develop a WordPress site?
Take the # of hours it takes you to do it and charge $50/hour. That's the price. Eventually you can charge $100/hour but that will require a bigger customer. If the customer is small < $1M in gross sales per year - charge $50/hour If the customer id medium < $1-5M / sales - charge $75 Over $5M - charge $100 The challenge you'll face is clearly defining the expectations and handoff so that you're not stuck doing stuff that you can charge for and always getting interrupted from past customers.DM
