First decided to get serious with marketing around Jan 5th, closed my first client today on the 22nd.Love it.
Just so newbies on the forum can understand it: how long did it take from the moment you first came up with this idea to getting your first client?
For the first client I just want to have some work I can point to having done when I'm trying to sell in the future, so I decided to reach out to some small business owners and offer my services for fairly cheap so I can get references and testimonials.
Closed this client on $400 to design him a website, and then once that's done, we'll figure out a deal for running paid ads.
Speed is the name of the game when starting, its what I learned after action faking for years and then finally just starting window cleaning. You just gotta get started. Most of the skills you need to learn for small service-based businesses can be picked up on youtube and then you just have to get clients and deliver results.
Even getting a few clients you serve for free or very cheap at the start will help you have the confidence and testimonials to sell later on.
