Consulting: How do I market my consulting line to gain traffic?

Cassie Witt, Digital Marketer, Web Programmer and Designer answered:

Ayomiku makes some good points. However, don't underestimate the power of building your own website to attract new customers. It's the one place you can be sure that you can arrange the information the way you want it.

Maybe you're not ready for a website, though. In that case, focus on places you can make connections such as LinkedIn (this is a very good place for business to business connections) and even here on Clarity. Clarity is free to join, and pretty easy to set up.

Once you get some clients, ask them to review you on sites that you have joined, or post it to your website if you have one. Showing that people have done business with you and are satisfied can make a huge difference in the number of new people who want to do business with you.

Whatever you do, focus on how you can help someone. They'll be more likely to do business with you than if you try pushy sales tactics.
