Hip! Hip! Hooray! It's My First Deal

I wanted to say THANK YOU to the forum.

I closed my first SEO, website, and social media package deal this afternoon. I was referred to him through one of my other (free) clients.

He doesn't know a whole lot about online marketing but he thinks I'm friendly and is willing to refer me to his other friends if this goes well.

I am uber excited. I was also able to hire 3 appointment setters/telemarketers today as well. I was upfront with them and told them I didn't have any working capital, I was a start up company and it would have to be commissioned based only until I got a few clients under my belt. The ones I talked to all understood and appreciated my honesty. I used, Craigslist, ODesk and Guru to find candidates.

Thanks again guys. If it wasn't for this forum I would not be doing the happy dance right now.

        Absolutely fantastic WebDiva, just the kind of post we like to read. How do you plan to add more clients to your business? Have you identified a clear marketing strategy for your business and if so, how do you plan on executing this? Any advice would be eagerly read.
