What I see a lot of are people complaining about how to get clients, but they're hardly ever online and they winge about, why do people not notice me? What do I do? Posting once in a while and hoping that someone notices you is not marketing. That's wishful thinking. People who get clients are the ones who show up where their clients already are hanging out. Like LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, your clients are hanging out because they want to learn something. They want to be guided. So, what you need to do is start conversations, share ideas, and help **[00:32]** people before they even ask for help. You don't want to be pushy or appear rushed in telling them about your secret source. Just be visible and genuine because when people keep seeing you, they will start to trust you a whole lot more. And one day, when they need a website, your name might be the first one that comes to mind. Getting work isn't about being lucky. It's about being present, being helpful, and reminding people that you exist.
