Clients for Busisness
Here's some of what I've done thus far:
1) Asked for referrals from friends, family members, and ex-coworkers.
2) Attended events
3) Volunteered
4) Sent out sales letters
5) Reached out to print shops (put business cards in stores)
6) Published a weekly blog & created social media postings
7) Published an e-book
8) Created Craigslist Ads to advertise my services
9) Guest blogged
10) Sent out warm prospect emails
11) Applied to positions on job bidding sites like Odesk, Elance, Freelancer...
12) Took business owners to lunch for networking
I got 0 responses from my sales letters.However, I got many responses from the emails. The most common response to my emails were "Not at this time." or "We are not interested." I've sent out a few hundred emails and gotten 1 potential client meeting out of it. The client marketed his business word-of-mouth and wasn't interested in hiring a writer.
My blog, website, and guest posts get a considerable amount of hits. However, nobody has ever called or emailed to inquire about my services.
I spent 10 to 12 hrs per day writing blog articles and working to find customers. I know starting a business is hard work because I've had one other failed business before. But, shouldn't I be seeing some sort of results by now?
I have been on warrior forum trying to find solutions but cannot seem to figure out why I'm not seeing any results. I've posted questions before and got no concrete answers other than "keep trying."
I'm running out of resources and don't have the funds to continue much longer.
