How do I attract more clients and buyers as a freelancer?

I'd like to increase my sales as a freelancer but I am having problems attracting more clients/buyers. What are you guys currently doing to get more buyers and clients? Do you run any advertising campaigns? If so, which ones and what works?

Attracting customers are usually done with ease whenever you provide outstanding quality work for a dirt-cheap cost. Two for one deals, 50% discounts and all that. When I was working as a salesman, I would usually throw in extra goodies for my clients, even though it might not always was related to the things I sold. Just something to show my appreciation. A candybar to their beloved kids or an extra cellphone with large buttons for their grandpa with bad eyesight. For me, the best way to market yourself, gaining new clients and making new sales is done by "getting personal". When you reach that "personal level" the potential clients are lowering their garde and becomes more open for discussion. And when that happens, you're there with an offer they can't refuse. Just like The Godfather with the horse head.

What you should aim for is always this, but it's not always easy to spot. Even online this will do the trick to gain sales, but it's harder to understand when the customer are willing to buy as you can't see them in reality. What you have to do here is to get personal from the start, using your knowledge and persuasion skills.

I'll give you an example of how to reach the personal level online.: (From my own sales page.)

Instead of having this at the top of my sales page: Who else wants to discover the secrets of creating cash-pulling business.

I choose to have this: I don’t have to tell you how embarrassing it is to ask a friend or family member for a loan.. But imagine if you discovered the secret to pay your bills in time, every time... Now You Can.

My conclusion and the reason I chose to make it like this is:
People online are often from a "dark place" with only a few dollars in their pockets. Many of them have been loaning money from their parents, from their neighbours? etc. All to be able to pay their rents or other bills.. Or even to put food at the table.

It's a shame but this is reality, and business. People from such situations who's reading these kind of titles, are more likely to purchase than people with tons of money on the bank. If I would've switched places of these two, then I'm talking about "how to make money in general", and not on that same personal level I reach by using the text I use now.

In my opinion it is important that you try to advertise more. If your budget is somewhat low, it may be difficult to do this, but Facebook ads are quite an affordable option. You could also try to think of your target market and where they are likely to be so as to target them manually in one way or another.

A good way is to create your own site or blog, and make sure that you optimize it so as to attract a god ranking. Then, you can also list all your services over there, and advertise them together.

The use of social media can never be advertised strongly enough. With so many people using Twitter and Facebook and other social media platforms, you can manage to get some new clients relatively easy if you try to find ways to do so. For instance joining Facebook groups where you could find people who are likely to be interested in the services that you offer.

Forum marketing can also work quite well as long as you choose the forums wisely. I wish you luck!

Hi it is million dollar question for all freelancer and all are asking almost same question how to attract more client or buyer for your service.
It is very difficult to say specifically what methods very much work to attract to buyer? If you think about seocheckout gig or service, I should say you have to follow some about your service before talking advertising. I think you have to have qualities and demandable service then you can go for add. Yes advertising very effective way to increase you sell. But you have to expend very good amount of money. Rather I prefer social promotion by following some method. Yes you can use add by Google or Facebook or other social network. I used Facebook and I got very good amount of client by Facebook traffic.

Thanks by Ajlancer
