    those are some good starts. craigslist works id you find a good poster orther pvas can get expensive. i would also try solo ads as marketers will always need to outsource stuff

    You have great ideas there but before you start thinking about how you can earn income, you should determine first if you are already driving enough traffic and if you are targeting right traffic. You could be spending for ads but it's the wrong people who are seeing it.

    Is it just me, or is it kind of weird when people come here and say "I offer marketing services, but how do I market myself?"

    Wouldn't you know that already as a marketer? :confused:

      You would think so... Unfortunately that's part of the reason businesses are skeptical to do business with Internet Marketing Consultants. There are a lot of people out there offering services and charging a fortune but don't produce any results. Also, there's a growing trend of people who just want to act as middle men and outsource all of the actual work. Lastly, there are a lot of genuine internet marketers looking to get into offline but never even think about using the services they're offering on their own business.

    You don't have your business identity worked out yet.

    Once you do that, you will start using your own services to market. You are looking for other ways to market because you still aren't 110% sure that your offerings will bring you results. You will have a hard time selling it until you reach that conviction.

    Figure out your marketing process using your own services and then go for it.

    Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.

    Thank you!
    How about contacting web design firms that don't presently offer social media marketing?
