MenuHow do I market my consulting line to gain traffic?
What are some pointers on how to increase the amount of people I can help?
Answers
- You must first understand that you are a brand(work on your personal branding so you can be desirable)
- Boost your social media profile and update your LinkedIn. Make sure the posts you share on social media are captivating and good enough for people to repost. You can also do a paid advert for your post that has a lot of engagements. (Maximise your social media)
- Narrow down on the type of clients you want to attract(youths? Adults? Middle aged people?), think of how to get in touch with them, attend events where you can network and sell yourself.
- Send direct emails to the contacts you have. Cherish those business cards, don’t be ashamed to get contacts, give cold calls too.
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.
I believe that the best way to spread the word about your consulting line keeping covid-19 rules in mind would be internet marketing. There are five P’s of the internet marketing which are product, people, price, promotion, and place. Sit with you team and discuss these out in details. For example, let us take product. What are the questions that you can raise? Well, you can discuss the functionality of your product, appearance of your product, quality, packaging, brand, warranty, and service of your product through the internet. This way people will come to know about your business and connect with you and buy your product which in this case is consulting.

One great way to increase traffic to your business is to invest in advertising. Facebook Ads, when consistent and done right, can increase your profits in a big way and allow for you to gain the recognition you're looking for to gain that traffic. If you can, I'd start here and figure out your target audience to ensure your ad speaks directly to that person. If you're not sure about your target audience definitely start there to determine the type of messaging your ad needs.
I hope this helps!

I'm a consultant in the US. How do I attract and sell myself to talented remote web and graphic designers as someone great to work for?
Hi there, I've built and scaled 3 management consulting businesses to $1M+ in the past 5 years. I'm a little unsure as to what your problem is. Are you wanting to help designers with their business or are you trying to hire talented designers to complete some work? For really good designers, their desire is to do quality work, with clients they like and be compensated well for it. If you have a proven methodology or process that helps them get those types of clients you'll be off the races. But, you have to communicate clearly the specific problem you address for them. So if they are a landscape designers you can say "With my program and coaching we will get you in front of architects and seen as the go-to expert who does awesome work." Does that make sense?AV

What should my consulting rates be as a freelance developer who can also do SEO, social media optimization and other marketing services?
Pricing for different tasks that require the same amount of time from you tells the Customer (and your subconscious) that you're working at a 5 on task x, but working at a 9 on task y simply because it costs/earns more. That seems to be a disconnect. Your time is your most precious asset, and I would charge for it whatever you're doing. If you build a site, and they are happy with your dev fee, but feel like you should charge less for SEO, simply let them find another SEO guy. That's their choice, but YOU are worth $xx.xx, no matter what you're doing. Also, in general, take whatever you're charging and add 10% to it. If you're still busy, add another 10%. Let the demand level determine how much work you do, and at what cost.SL

Should I start a consulting service in a large city, or should I stay in a medium sized city?
Because of the nature of your consulting business (web development) you have the advantage of being able to effectively offer your services remotely. I think more important than deciding between a large or small city, is finding a city where you would enjoy living and building a network. Is there a city where you have a critical mass of friends, family, potential business partners? Is there a city you'd simply be happier in because it fits your lifestyle, whether it's access to outdoors or city living? Do you have a more specific market segment you'd like as your clients? Do you want to service just tech startups? Health tech startups? Larger companies? Unless you plan to really narrow down into a specific niche, like consulting just for the aerospace industry where the companies are usually found in a specific city or region, web development offers you a lot of geographic flexibility. More and more companies like Automatic or Zapier have completely remote teams and the trend towards that is only accelerating. Choose a city where you'll be happiest and most likely to be able to participate in the lifestyle the city provides. Not only will you be more productive if you're happy, you'll have more opportunities to grow your network organically by meeting friends through your hobbies or social activities that then turn into clients. I'd caution against being overly analytical or coldly rational when making this decision. Follow your gut. Choose a city you'd love to live in and grow a business in. I know wildly wealthy and successful entrepreneurs in cities both small and large.JI

How can I take my skills and experience in product development and turn them into a compelling offering to sell as a consultant?
Seems to me that versatility is actually your greater selling point. Yes, you could concentrate on 1 niche problem that you solve over and over again for various clients. Advantage: That streamlined approach would be efficient in terms of presentation and actual work load. Disadvantage: By promoting a very specific offering, you may be introducing yourself as the wrong tool for the job ... for most potential clients. If I stumble across you and find a landing page that stresses your ability to solve Problem X while I am dealing with Problem Y, then I assume you're less relevant than you might be. That does a disservice to your diverse skill set. You can marry the best of both worlds. Here's what I'd suggest. Clients will discover you both passively and as a result of active outreach. So 1. For your active marketing efforts, identify prospects where the client really needs you for Problem X, in which you're specializing. Introduce yourself as a specialist in Problem X (which is true). 2. For your more passive, less keyword-targeted online footprint, showcase your versatility rather than your specialization. That's also true. This way, you'll seem like a better fit for a wider group of potential clients. Instead of writing you off as a specialist, they'll consider engaging you as an IT "renaissance man". Narrow the focus of your presentation when you have narrowed your demographic. Widen that focus when the demographic is wider.JP

What's a great way to get a "foot in the door" with major companies with consulting?
Recently, I've hit a "tipping point" where I have enough content (blog posts, podcasts, interviews, etc...) that companies now regularly seek me out for advice. "To be known, you must teach" - Nathan Barry After I wrote "This is a web page" (http://justinjackson.ca/words.html) I was contacted by VPs at Coca-Cola and Google. They weren't offering me work: they just wanted to say they enjoyed my writing. Writing, and amplifying your content, is one way to get your foot in the door.JJ
