DOMINIQUE J PORTIS, helping online consultants attract more clients.. answered:

First step is Discovery of who you are.. You want to identify who you are and what you can bring to the online space..

It's kinda like applying for a job only you have to think of it as your lifestyle..

1. First impression: First impression is everything.. Optimize your profile, Bio, Photography, And what you do..Skills

2. Marketing is the king of all sales: You have to promote you and your story.. You want to get as much targeted traffic as possible and be in front of them... Lets say you are a freelancer or a person that knows how to clean.. Promote you and what you do on all platforms... Tip if you can stretch yourselve 10 people deep.. can have 10 social media platforms or accounts.. You 10X your chances of working with your first client.. It's like applying for 10 jobs... Take the same energy and do whats said above..

3. Have something to offer.. You can not get someone to buy on the first date.. But have something to offer.. Follow up continously until they respond..

4. Rinse and Repeat.. If you get burnt out dont worry we all go through this..
