How to promote my web design company when I have no clients?

Hello,

So I launched my web design company a few months ago. Since then I did some AdWords Campaigns and FB ads... with very few questions and 0 clients.

The crazy part is that I get lots of likes on my FB page and lots of compliments on my website... but clients are not converting.

I guess one of the reasons is because I have no "work" to show. I see many other companies with these big portfolios...I don't have one.. I am new (how am I suppose to have one!)

It is getting really frustrating by now as I knew I could offer a quality service. I am starting to think that without 'connections' maybe it is not the right business to be in.

Any tips?

Thanks for your time

    Start designing things just to show your talents. Design squeeze pages, landers, full websites, banners, everything! Just make them for fictitious companies.

    I used to do website design full time on elance.com. That is a great place for you to not only get new clients, but it's a great way to get a solid portfolio started. If you've never used elance and have no feedback on there, no problem.

    It'll start out slow at first, but if you bid a bit lower on jobs at first (stick with more simple jobs at the beginning) you'll be able to pick up work. This is a solid way to get a good portfolio started.

    Best of luck.

    As NutraCash said:
    start creating a complete corporate identity for a demo customer.
    Create flyers, websites, brochures, business cards etc.
    If the design rocks and has a great consistent CI through all online and offline media you got your first great portfolio item to show off your talents.
    Also krockbro's tip to start with freelancing plattforms is a good idea to get going.
    Though in my opinion you should have at least a few images to show off your design skills.
