How To Get Coaching Clients Without a Website 

Whilst having a website can act as your business card, in the event you’d like to demonstrate expertise and professionalism, you do not need one to start getting clients to your life coaching business, if it is not a priority for you from the start. 

Just remember, that along the way, prospects may request to see some type of content or material to prove your experience and to even take you seriously, so decide what that is going to be, in the absence of a website. 

So let’s say that you’d like to start your coaching business without a website, how can you attract clients?

Networking events

One way to do this is to attend networking events that are related to your niche. This is the best place that you can find real people to talk to, to build a relationship with and possibly open the lines to work with them, one day. 

Now you’re probably thinking, isn’t there a better way to attract clients without leaving my house?

Well yes there is, but I’d like you to consider the possibilities that networking has when you actually meet people in person. 

The relationship is built so much quicker, plus the fact that you committed time to showing up at a networking event, already shows that you are committed to your business and people are likely to trust you faster. 

Think about it this way. Would you rather give your money to someone you have seen in person and met a couple times, or someone who is behind a computer screen? 

I don’t know about you, but there is something about meeting someone in person, that can really help you seal the deal.

Here’s how to find the right networking event for you:

Step 1

The easiest place to find the most relevant networking event, is by using the internet to see what’s going on.

Sites like Meetup.com, Facebook groups or local organisation websites, provide you with some good information on the type of networking events there are in your area.

When using these websites, be sure to use keywords to find relevant events. For example as a life coach and using Meetup.com, you can search for “goal setting” within 50 miles of Leeds and get results like this.

Step 2

Once you have found some networking events, be sure to understand what type of people will be attending.

Here are a few questions you should ask yourself:

• Does that audience match your target audience?
• How big is the likely audience at these events?
• Do you have to pay to attend the events?

Keep in mind that if there is a price to pay to attend networking events, you may also find people who are likely to invest in programs like yours.

It makes no sense investing in something, that is unlikely to give you a return on your time invested. So make sure that the networking event, will have your ideal audience in attendance. 

Step 3

Plan and strategise your meet up. Remember that you sought out this meetup event because you’d like to get something out of it – that is, clients.

As a result, it is important to do some pre-planning, so you can make the most of your networking. Some preliminary things you can do, is find out who’s attending and see what they do.

Do they have a social media profile that helps you understand what they do? If those people match the description of the type of prospect you’d like to talk to, be sure to list it down so you can make an effort to meet up with them at the event.

Also it’s worth connecting with them before the event. Send a short email such as “hey I noticed that you’re attending XYZ event. Me too. I see we have XYZ in common. I’m looking forward to connecting”.

When you connect in this way, you’ve already started building the relationship, you’re 10x ahead of the next person and are likely to build stronger connections. 

Ask friends or family to help you out

Friends or family are the lowest barrier to entry as a beginner life coach. How about offering free services to friends or family in exchange for a referral.

Or you can offer free services to friends or family in exchange for a testimonial to help you build your portfolio. 

Asking friends and family is an easy task, and if they want to see you win, they are more than likely to do this favour for you. 

One way of starting the conversation is by making a post on your Facebook profile. 

Here’s how that will look:

“Hey everyone, I have started my own personal life coaching business and I am looking for experience. I would be happy to work with you for the next month for free, to help you achieve your life goals and in exchange, all I ask for is a testimonial from you. If you are interested comment below and I will personally reach out to you”

If you do not want to post on your Facebook wall, then ask the question in person. 

Tap into your business community or circles

Are you a member of any business communities or circle of people? Sometimes you may already be a member of a community where you regularly show up. 

Use this circle as a stepping stone to highlight your coaching services and potentially get leads for your business. Here’s how you do that. 

Before you advertise your life coaching business to your community or circle, show up by offering free, valuable advice to the group, so people can take notice of you. 

Why this works? Because it allows people to pay attention to you when you speak. This is how you stand out. Once you have appeared a few times, start pitching your services by offering free consultation calls. 

A consultation call is a great way to see how many people are actually interested in your business, and gives them the opportunity to ask you questions, so they will know whether you’re a right fit for them. 

At the end of the call, be sure to ask for the sale. This is one part that most people leave out, because they are afraid of actually selling their product or services. 

If you do not ask for the sale, you won’t get it. When you ask for the sale, speak about how your services can benefit the prospect and the types of results that they are likely to get if they work with you.     

How To Get Coaching Clients On Facebook

If you want to use Facebook as a means of getting life coaching clients, there is a right way to prospect and a wrong way. 

The wrong way is pitching your coaching services and asking your audience to sign up with you now without giving any real value that helps them get to know you, like you and trust you. 

The right way is delivering valuable content that helps build a relationship with you, so they can see you as an expert in your niche. 

One really great way of finding life coach clients, is in Facebook groups. 

Step 1

Seek out Facebook groups that match the description of what your target audience subscribes to. So as a life coach, you may be looking for people who need to get on track with their life goals. You know that these people may be interested in goal setting, vision board creation or the law of attraction. 

You can easily find these groups by using Facebook’s search feature. So when I type “law of attraction” and I filter the results to show me only groups, this is what my result looks like. 

Once you have joined the group and been accepted here’s what you do next. 

Step 2

Introduce yourself. This way people know of your presence and what you do. When you introduce yourself, do not try to immediately sell your services by saying: “Hi my name is Dawn-Marie and I am a life coach looking for new clients”. 

Instead say something like “Hi my name is Dawn-Marie and I am a life coach. My goal here is to learn how others are using the law of attraction, to improve their lives and make whatever contribution I can to help them on their journey”.

By introducing yourself this way, you do not come across as being sales-y and you will begin to form a genuine relationship with the group’s members when you help them with their questions. This is the way to attract people to you. 

Step 3

Once the introduction is made, another way to attract people to you, is by responding to other user’s questions. Provide helpful answers as a way to show your expertise and do not be afraid to remind people that you are a life coach.

For example, when commenting instead of saying “I am a life coach and you should do XYZ”, instead say “I would do XYZ, as this is one of the things that I teach my life coaching clients and I have seen a big improvement in their progress”. 

Step 4

Try and take the relationship building off of Facebook. When you help people, through commenting and offering help without expecting anything in return, you may find that people start messaging you to get more information from you.

You can also offer to message people that you have assisted on the comments section, by politely asking if you can provide more information to them in their inbox.

Take care of any Facebook group’s rules about private messaging. Obviously if this is not allowed, then don’t do.

Whenever you decide to take the message away from the Facebook group and into a private message, continue to offer valuable insight and always end by recommending that your new prospect get more information by accepting a free lead magnet or read content that navigates towards a lead magnet, such as a content upgrade.

The goal for any social media prospecting, must always be to get your prospects on your email list, so you can market to them further.

How to Market A Coaching Business

If you’re seeking out prospects online, a great way to market your coaching business, is with a sales funnel. 

A sales funnel, is the journey you take your prospects on, from the time they opt in for a lead magnet, to the time you convert them into a sale. 

Many life coaches, offering high ticket products, have used this strategy effectively to sell their coaching packages. 

If you already know what a sales funnel is and you’re looking to design your first life coaching sales funnel, then I highly recommend using Clickfunnels or LeadPages to build and design your funnel.

Here are some ways you can implement a sales funnel strategy into your marketing efforts. 

Blog and guest post with lead magnet

If you have a blog, then consider guest posting on other highly-trafficked, highly targeted blogs, so you can access an audience that wants to learn more about improving their lives through goal setting. 

When you guest post, make sure that you write a well-written, thorough blog post as this helps to attract the blog audience to you and your expertise because of your content. 

Once the guest post is published, remember to engage the audience by responding to any comments that they may leave under the post. This helps you to connect with the audience and can be the stepping stone for commenters to reach out to you, to ask questions about your expertise and then for you to offer your services. 

Usually guest posts do not allow you to promote your product or service within the content. This is where you use the Author Bio, to not only tell the audience about yourself, but also recommend an offer that is completely relevant to the blog post. 

Here is how Sonia Thompson achieved this and promoted her own coaching funnel, when she guest posted on Smart Blogger.

Just be sure to ask the owner of the blog for permission to place a link back to your lead magnet, so as not to cause any awkwardness. 

Run paid ads to a life coach funnel 

Another way to use a sales funnel for life coach marketing, is to use paid ads to drive traffic to your sales funnel. 

With this strategy, you can either use search engine ads, such as Google Adwords or Microsoft Ads, to target people who are looking for your services, or you can use social media ads, Facebook or Instagram Ads, to target people who may be interested in your services but do not know that it exists. 

If using either of these methods, keep in mind that the sales funnel that you build and design, will be completely different for search marketing and social media marketing. 

With search marketing, as you are promoting a product or service to people, who have actually searched for what your business can offer, your sales funnel will specifically address their needs.

With social media marketing, however, the audience here do not know that they need your product or service. Therefore your sales funnel should identify the problem and offer your product as the solution.

Podcast and end with a life coaching funnel 

Just like you would do with a blog post, appearing as a guest on a podcast is another way of borrowing someone’s audience and sharing valuable content with them, so you can make an offer that leads to your coaching funnel. 

If you are considering using this platform, remember to seek out those podcast hosts, that have a large audience, so you have a better chance at being heard and your funnel converting for the audience that listens in. 

There are many ways that you can get on a podcast and I will share the following tips with you. 

There is a website that I found called Podcast Guests. You can sign up with them for free and find podcasters that are actually looking for guests. 

You can also do a search of Google, using the keywords “be a podcast guest” and find all the websites where this keyword is found. Herein you will find podcasters who are in need of guests.  

Another great place to find podcasts is on the Apple Itunes directory or you can look at Apple Podcasts.

Once you have found a few podcasts that you’d like to be a guest on, it’s time to prepare your pitch to the host, so they can understand the value that you can bring to their audience. 

A pitch is usually a short introduction to you and your brand and the type of content you’d like to deliver to the podcaster’s audience that may solve a problem. 

So when pitching, keep in mind that the podcaster is looking for fresh ideas that will help their audience, rather than it be a promotional piece of content that is all about selling your product or service. 

Don’t worry, usually podcasters do allow you to promote your content to their audience and this is mentioned at the discretion of the podcaster. 

Here is a sample pitch I prepared for a podcaster when I wanted to appear on her show. 

Pay attention to what’s in the highlighted box. 

The Rachael Academy Podcast features small business owners and entrepreneurs and her audience is mainly those persons who are looking for ways to start and build their own business. 

I identified a problem in the small business arena, that is, small business owners or entrepreneurs who believe that in order to be successful they must have a large audience or email list to promote their products or services to. 

I mentioned a solution to that problem that I’d like to focus on in the podcast. I said that I’d like to teach her audience, how to start a blog and get traffic to it using a free traffic source. 

The offer was not just any offer. It was useful and helpful to her audience – listeners will be able to learn how to monetise a blog in a strategic way by building their email list and then selling their products or services to that list. 

I also included my area of expertise in my pitch. I mentioned that I was a blogger and digital marketing strategist and had experience in selling my own digital products to a small audience.

With that in mind, here is what your pitch should focus on: 

• Introduce yourself
• Mention your area of expertise
• Identify the problem
• Offer a solution that you’d like to talk about in the podcast

After drafting your pitch, send it to the podcast host. If you are able to find their personal email or an email that goes directly to the podcaster, then that would be better. 

Ideally you’d want to avoid any gatekeepers (middle men), so look out for podcasters who have a direct email and if you are still not sure, send the email to the attention of the podcaster’s name.

Don’t forget to always follow up if you do not have a response to your pitch. It’s a good idea then to keep a spreadsheet of the podcasts you wrote to, the date you wrote to them, whether you received a response and the date you followed up with them.

If you are accepted to be a guest on a podcast, this is when you should offer to promote your life coaching services and it is always best to provide a direct link to your life coaching funnel, that is designed to generate leads and potentially lead to a client sale.

Create a YouTube video and end with a life coaching funnel

Another simple way to promote your life coaching business, is to start with a YouTube channel. 

If you are good with video, consider sharing free, valuable information to help build an audience. 

One thing that you need to remember when starting a YouTube channel, is that it will take time to build traction and an audience on this platform. 

Building a YouTube channel is like building a blog. You need to put out great content to attract an audience and then nurture them, to encourage them to consider your products. 

Before you sell any of your services on video, always lead with value and remember to include a call to action at the end of your video, telling your viewers what you’d like them to do. 

Whether that is checking out a blog post or opting into your life coaching funnel. 

To engage your audience you could also tell them to leave a comment on your video, like the video or subscribe to your channel. 

These bits of action, help to skew the YouTube algorithm in your favour so that your videos are recommended to more people. 

Wrapping Up

If you know how to find people to promote your product or service to, you will know how to become successful as a new life coach. 

The key takeaways from this blog post is: 

• Find targeted groups of people who are likely to require your products or services in the future.
• Lead with valuable information that will help your audience see you as an expert in your field.
• Capture the names and contacts of those people who expressed an interest in you, by inviting them to enter your sales funnel. 
• Nurture those leads who expressed an interest in you, with exclusive, valuable content.
• Pitch your products and services to convert those leads into sales.

How To Find Web Design Clients Online 

There are many places online, that help you find web design clients. As well as, there are many things that you can do, to attract web design prospects to you. 

Let’s have a look at some ideas:

1. Create your own website and blog 

It is no doubt, that by showing our expertise through content, you can attract people to you. A blog is a powerful tool that you can start right away, to build an audience and then offer free content in return, so that you can educate your prospects about web design and they can feel more comfortable turning to you for advice. 

When you create your own website and blog, make sure that your content focuses on the pain points of your prospects. That way the end goal of every blog post, is to offer your service as the solution to that pain point. 

Think that this is a good idea? Start a blog today for only $2.95 a month with Bluehost.

Whilst starting a blog is a great strategy, it is a long-term one, so results may not happen right away. As long as you remain consistent with blogging and providing good content, you will eventually be able to convert clients from all the good knowledge that you have provided.

2. Implement Search Engine Optimisation and Promote Yourself

This then brings me on to my next point of how to find clients online when you blog. 

Once you have a website and blog set up, it does not end with writing content. You now need to promote that content so that people find you. 

One great way to show up in front of a targeted audience, is with the Google search engines. With the latest Google update, you can now answer your audience’s very specific questions, with the possibility of your blog getting crawled by Google and eventually landing a spot in the search engine. 

Everyone wants to make it to page one of Google, so your aim should not only be to answer your audience’s questions, but provide specific, quality answers, as well as build your blog brand, so that Google favours your content as expert and authoritative. 

Not sure where to start with SEO? Here’s a course that helps you get started.

Besides Google, another search engine that is often under utilised, is Pinterest. 

Pinterest is a great place that has a high female demographic. So if you know that your target market is females, consider focusing on Pinterest and posting your content there. 

If you want to understand how to use Pinterest to promote your blog, I used the Pinterest Traffic Avalanche course to help me generate over 32,000 visitors to my blog within 4 months.

Imagine if your new blog could generate that type of free traffic, what that would do for your new freelance business? That means more visitors, more leads and potential sales of your services within such a short space of time right?

Lastly, you can promote your blog post by asking other web design bloggers to post your content to their audience.

A good way to do that, is by guest posting. You can also agree to be interviewed or appear on a podcast. 

This gives you the ability to share audiences, so that more people see your amazing content. 

Always make sure that when using any of these methods, that you have a strategy with an end goal. 

For you, that end goal may be to get more leads to fill your web design funnel. 

A great way to accomplish that end goal, is to create content upgrades from within your blog posts, to help you generate leads. 

How To Find Web Design Clients On LinkedIn

Linkedin is the social media network for professionals, so your target market – the decision makers of businesses – are bound to be here. 

Like any other social media network, it is also a place where you need to build relationships before you get the sale. 

The following steps will teach you how to create an attractive LinkedIn profile, so you can attract web design prospects to you, who go on to become web design clients. 

Step 1

It all begins with your profile, since this is the first thing that prospects see. You want to have a profile that pre-sells your brand, experience and what you can do, so that by the time you have a conversation with a prospect, they already know about you. 

Hopefully when you craft your profile in a highly attractive way, you can stimulate the minds of your readers and make them want to work with you. Learn how to write the perfect LinkedIn profile by visiting this very helpful resource.

Step 2

Identify your target market, means going out into the LinkedIn marketplace and finding ideal people that you’d like to connect with. 

When you think about it, you really want to connect with the decision-makers of a business. That means, they can hire you on the spot and are not “the middle man”.

Who are the decision-makers? Well they’re the CEOs, Director of Marketing, the CFOs, etc. 

When you have created a list of your target audience, you can use LinkedIn’s search tool to find people that match that description. 

Step 3

Send a connection request. When you have found someone that matches your target audience, it’s time to send a connection request. 

Whilst LinkedIn allows you to send default connection requests, it is wise to send a more personalised message, that will make the reader more likely want to connect with you. 

A great way to personalise a message is by using their real name. 

Also take the time to do some research on them or their company and explain why they will want to connect with you. 

For example, as a web designer, you may want to take a look at their current website, if any, and address a few changes that you could make, to help them with their business. 

Pro tip: Always make the request about the other person. How can you help them?

In that regard, a personalised connection request that falls within LinkedIn’s character limit, can be something like: 

“Hi [first name]

I’m [your name]. I help small business owners create and design beautiful, high converting websites that generate more visitors and eventually leads. Your website looks great but there are a few things that I would recommend you improve. 

May I share it with you?” 

OR 

“Hi [first name]

I’m [your name]. I help small business owners create and design beautiful, high converting websites that generate more visitors and insane ROI. Your website looks great but there are a few things that I would recommend you improve. 

May I share it with you?” 

What this message does, is: 

1. It creates curiosity, since by telling them that there are things about their website that needs improvement to generate a result every business wants – more leads – certainly it will peak their curiosity and they will want to find out what that is. 
2. It identifies a pain point of most companies that own websites – that is, not knowing how to get more leads. More leads means more sales.
3. It demonstrates that you’ve taken steps to do some research
4. It demonstrates that you want to add value and you’re not simply another one of those messages which they may identify as spam.

Step 4

Send a thank you message. Once the prospect accepts your request, deliver what you said you would share, that’s it. 

Don’t let this message be a pitch fest because that is not its purpose. You can always pitch another time. 

All you want to do, is add some value to their business strategy, so you can leave a lasting impression that makes them want to thank you for connecting with them. 

Once you have delivered the value, end with a message such as “talk to you soon” or “I’ll catch up with you later”. That way you’re telling them, you’re leaving the door open for more dialogue.

Step 5

Follow up. Once you have connected with your prospect, it does not end there. You need to continue to build the relationship, so they can see you as a potential resource, should they need help. 

To do that, you can offer content that demonstrates your authority and knowledge on a subject that matters to them. 

For example, if after doing research, you notice that their website traffic numbers are very low, then content that teaches them how web design can be optimised to increase traffic numbers would be helpful to them. 

Again the purpose here is not to pitch your service. You simply want to share a message that lets them see that you are knowledgeable in an area where they may need help. 

This ensures that you are top of mind, should they decide to embark on a web design project.

Step 6

Share content with your connections. This is where being consistent pays off. If you know that your connections would benefit from a piece of content, then share it with them by creating status updates.

Make sure that your status update, has a good hook so that your connections will want to read more of it. Make sure the status update is short and to the point, so your connections can get through the message and to work with Linkedin’s algorithm, all links should be placed in the comment section. 

Step 7

Move relationships off of LinkedIn. After you have built rapport with your connections for a while, now it’s time to take the relationship off of LinkedIn. 

A great way to do this, is to offer a lead magnet that is designed to take the prospect through a funnel that leads to the sale of your services. 

Because you have built a good relationship before hand, it is now a perfect time to pitch your services to them. I would suggest that the relationship building stage lasts for a month, before you start a sales funnel strategy to convert your prospects into clients.

A good thing about this too, is that this process can be automated, because once they are in a funnel system and if you are using email marketing, you can also engage them more often and continue building the relationship. 

Remember that this has to be a consistent effort, because it may take a while to convert your prospects. Some of them may not need your services now, but it does not mean that in six to twelve months, they may not need your services then.  

How To Find Web Design Clients on Instagram

The whole client-fishing strategy is similar with any social network – it’s all about identifying, connecting and engaging with your ideal audience before you convert them into clients. 

So how exactly do you find web design clients on Instagram?

Like LinkedIn, I want you to understand that there is a process to building relationships with people, before you actually get a sale and with Instagram it may look something like this. 

Step 1

Assuming that you already have an Instagram business account, create a bio that tells your visitors, who you are, what you offer and who is your target audience. 

So for example, a great Instagram bio would be: 

Web design that’s not only stunning but leads to higher conversion rates that matter to small business real estate investors. 

When you have a targeted Instagram bio, it means that you are not just attracting anyone, but attracting a group of people who falls into your ideal audience – in the above example, that is, real estate investors. 

Step 2

Use the Instagram bio link. Always make sure that you have a call to action for your Instagram link so you can get more visitors to check out a piece of content that matters to you. 

Always have the end goal in mind. So what does your content aim to do? It should aim to generate leads, so take the time to create a landing page that will help convert those visitors into leads.

Step 3

As a web designer you want your Instagram feed to have an aesthetic that is visually stimulating. 

A striking, yet clean feed, speaks volumes as to the type of work you produce and gives a good first impression to visitors who are seeing you for the first time. 

When deciding on the type of feed that you want to portray for your business, consider using one colour palette that is consistent throughout, so that your feed has a theme.

Also don’t forget to create varying content. Content should attract and engage your audience so they pay attention and get to know more about you.

Use images that are bright and visually appealing which helps interrupt your audience so they take notice. 

Then tell your story through a caption that seeks to inspire, educate and even tickle your audience. Try to avoid too much content that is sales-oriented because that will certainly make you lose a few followers. 

Step 4

Use Relevant Hashtags. Because how else would people find you? Hashtags are like search engines, in that when someone is searching for an item or content, it gives visibility to your work. 

This is why you should have a good hashtag selection that is relevant to web design. One tip is to use the same hashtags consistently in your posts. That way you stand out more, when several pieces of your content appears in a hashtag search. This typically steers people to check out your profile and could potentially lead to more followers.

Step 5

Once your content is written, you have inserted your hashtags and posted, make sure you engage. You want to spend at least an hour on the gram, immediately engaging with people who respond to your content. 

When you respond immediately to comments, this creates a new wave in the Instagram algorithm, that gives your content more exposure.

Not only should you be aiming to engage with people who comment on your post, you should also engage with your audience’s own posts. 

When you do so, there’s a good chance that that user will check out your profile and feed and give you some love. 

For this reason, always make sure that your bio has a good call to action to check out your content and your content is so magnetic and valuable that it leads to valuable conversions that matter to you – in your case it should be a lead through a nurturing sales funnel.   

How to Get Local Web Design Clients  

I believe having a web design business that targets local businesses, allows you to be more personable with your contacts, thereby building a relationship faster. 

Whilst you can prospect and build your client base online, you can also incorporate some in-person prospecting to give you a better chance at winning a client. 

But it does require you to step outside of your comfort zone and here’s how. 

Don’t be afraid to meet with new people at networking events. 

Whilst this may not be something that you do as a business all the time, it certainly is something you can focus on, in the beginning, to build momentum and have a few clients coming through the door. 

Again building relationships is a key factor so always keep this in mind when you start. 

1. Networking

Attend networking events. You can find networking events that attract your ideal audience by joining Facebook groups.

If the admin of a group posts a network event, always make an effort to show up. This gives you exposure to potential clients in your area. 

Another great way you can maximise your presence in the Facebook group, is also to consistently help other members by answering questions and providing advice without expecting anything in return. 

When you do this, people will start to take notice of you and see you as someone who can help them solve their problems. 

Remember, when providing advice in these forums, it is always best to over deliver and build trust, so that approaching you for advice and feeling comfortable doing so is an easy choice. 

Also by showing up at networking events, gives you the opportunity to meet your potential clients in person, which can be the deal breaker that helps you get hired. 

You can also find networking events at Meetup.com and searching on your local chamber of commerce notice board or website. 

When you attend networking events in person, socialise first, pitch later. The aim at these networking events, is to share what you do and show that you are knowledgeable in what you do. 

It’s also meant to be a fun place to meet new people. If you appear at more networking events and meet the same people over and over, this is how you foster relationships that can then lead to client work. 

Whilst networking takes time to grow a leads pipeline, it is a starting point to getting your name and brand out into the marketplace and can help people put a name to a face when they see you online. 

2. Approach ideal businesses in person

If you don’t want to attend networking events, another good way to find web design clients, is to do the good old-fashioned door knocking. 

Now I’m not saying to knock on every person’s door, but a great strategy, is to pinpoint a handful of businesses you’d like to work with, then do a bit of research on their business. 

As a web designer, that may be looking at their website and see what improvements could be made and why. 

Usually, the next step would be for people to send a cold email to the prospect to share this information with them, but an alternative way to actually meet with the decision-maker and know that your advice gets into the right hand, and also to demonstrate a bit of personableness, is to show up at their door. 

Even if you meet with the person, and leave a hard copy book that speaks about the improvements that their website could make with a subject like “How One Business Owner Got Over 600% ROI by Making Small Tweaks to Their Website”, this is bound to get results because you’re not just another email. 

Everyone is sending emails and it actually takes effort to return to the conventional way of marketing. Business owners truly appreciate you going the extra step.

3. Online prospecting

And if door to door marketing is just not your thing, there is always the internet. In that case you can refer to my paragraph where I explained how to find web design clients online. 

How to Get Web Design Clients on Craigslist

Some people may not think of Craigslist as a lead generator for web design clients but before you rule it out I want you to consider this. 

Craigslist is a classified advertisement website that allows you to search for jobs, houses, items wanted and other things, but it is also a place where you can get web design leads, if you have a good strategy, you’re patient and you’re willing to test and see what works. 

Most people start by posting their ads in sections such as services or jobs, but other sections you can test to see if it gives any results is For Sale – Business or Temp Jobs – Computer. 

Other relevant sections are the Services – Computer, Services – Creative, Services – Sm Biz Ads, Jobs – Business Mgmt, Jobs – Web Info/Design, Jobs – Marketing/PR/Ad and even the CVs section.

When posting ads in these sections a few things to think about, when writing your ads are:

• Split test your headlines 
• Split test the content of your ads
• Simplicity is key
• Keep each of your ads/subject lines unique to avoid it being considered as spam
• You should be prepared to post several ads, even in the hundreds per week, before you get a quality lead. 
• Be consistent and post several times a day
• Be patient

One thing to be aware about Craigslist, is that you have to put yourself where people are actually searching for your business. 

Be creative and get inside the minds of people who are actively searching for people who provide your service. 

Ask yourself, where on Craigslist will they look? What are they searching for and what type of headline will catch their attention?

How to Get International Clients for Web Design

Just because you live in one country, does not mean you cannot tap into the market of another country. 

With the internet and having different ways to connect with potential clients, such as through Skype, Zoom or other online conference applications, finding web design clients should not be troublesome, if you have a good strategy to start. 

If you are familiar with Google Adwords or Microsoft Ads (formerly Bing Ads), then you can launch an ad, that drives traffic to a client funnel to attract leads and then convert them into clients.  

Do the same with Facebook Ads or any social media network that allows advertising, but it is important that you know where your target audience is, so you can target them with the most appropriate social media ads; whether that is Pinterest ads, Facebook ads or Instagram ads for example. 

When creating ads to post on the internet, I strongly recommend that you use a client funnel, or sales funnel so you can attract your target audience and serve them content that educates them about your brand, what you can offer and how your offer can help them solve a problem.

It is important that you build an email list by first serving a lead magnet, then consistently provide valuable content, so you can nurture your leads and help them see you as someone who can help them. So for example, as a web designer, your value proposition might be that you help design highly convertible websites that turn targeted traffic into leads or sales. 

When you create advertisements on the internet, some key metrics to be aware of, is your cost per lead, your sales funnel opt in rate, cost per client acquisition. This way you will know how much you’re spending versus how much you have earned in terms of client business.

The post How To Get Web Design Clients as a Freelancer appeared first on I Am Dawn-Marie.

This blog post was inspired by an email I received from a reader of the blog who was in the direct sales industry.

Her question to me was:

One thing I’m stumped on as well is what value to give others … I’m feeling like I can’t yet position myself that way as I’m still trying to figure it all out.

I realised that a lot of people knew they had to get leads into their business but did not really know the process for getting those leads.

So I decided to create this piece of content in the hope that it will give you some insight into what you should be paying attention to, on your online journey.

What You Will Learn:

• What are leads and why you need them in your business
• How to attract leads with a lead magnet
• What’s the best format for your lead magnet
• How to create your first lead magnet
• How to promote your lead magnet
• 3 Major reasons why you may not be getting leads in your business

What Are Leads and Why You Need Them In Your Business

Leads are people who may be interested in what you have to offer. They are prospects who have seen or engaged with your business before and have asked for more information from you, to help them consider whether they want your offer.

So let’s say for example, you have a blog and on that blog you have created a content upgrade for A Blogging Blueprint Guide.

The person who provides their name and email address to receive that content upgrade, becomes a lead or subscriber that you can re-market to via email.

Consider the example of a brick and mortar store. When someone walks into a store, they become a lead to the store owner as someone who may purchase their item.

You can therefore see and understand why having leads in your business is necessary.

If every lead you generate to your business has the potential to purchase your product or service, then that lead is profitable and helps your business make money.

So if your business, whatever it may be, is not getting leads on a daily basis, then that is a major problem.

If no one knows that you are open for business and they are not seeing your content or you are not talking to them about your content, then there is no way for them to be inspired or encouraged to purchase your product or service and you should aim to fix that.

That is what this blog post is for and I hope that by the end, you will work on generating your first lead or subscriber for your business.

Once you know how to generate a lead, you will know how to get more of them as it’s simply a matter of repeating the process.

How To Attract Leads With A Lead Magnet

First of all, let’s address the topic of what exactly is a lead magnet.

A magnet attracts things to it right? Well a lead magnet is something that attracts leads to it.

So it is any piece of content that will attract your visitor to become a lead. They become a lead by exchanging their contact details, whether their name and email address, for that piece of content.

Therefore if you’d like to generate leads for your business, consider creating a lead magnet.

Your lead magnet should be something that is of a high perceived value by the visitor. Think for a moment, about your niche and what do you perceive as valuable information, that you know, that you can teach to others?

This should stir your ideas for your own lead magnet.

My subscriber said that

I’m feeling like I can’t yet position myself that way as I’m still trying to figure it all out.

Don’t think that you cannot create a valuable piece of content because you’re new to all of this. I like to think that everyone has something that they can teach to others. If you’re struggling for ideas here are a few places you can go to for help:

• Ask people who represent your ideal client or customer what their biggest problem is?
• Go to niche-related forums and see what people are asking. Don’t know any forums? Ask Google.
• Do you belong to any Facebook groups? Get suggestions from the members by asking a question about their biggest problems.
• Look at what your competitors are doing. Model after their lead magnets. You can even opt into their email sequence to see what they’re saying to their leads.

And if you’re still unsure what valuable content you can create, there are websites that can help you with this by offering their own products for sale which you can then give away.

These products are known as Private Label Rights products. In internet marketing, private label rights is where the author of the product sells the intellectual property rights to the purchaser, giving the purchaser the right to use their work and mark it as their own.

So if seller A creates an article or eBook and sells it to person B, person B can now claim to be the author of the article or eBook when they buy the private label rights to the product.

Some great PLR websites are:

• IDplr.com
• The PLR store
• Resellers Superstore

If you are concerned about creating your own valuable content to be used as a lead magnet, then you can purchase products from the above websites and use it as your own lead magnet.

What’s The Best Format For Your Lead Magnet

A lead magnet can come in the form of a PDF report, an eBook, a video, a short email course, a podcast, a checklist, a workbook. The list is endless.

You can decide what form suits you and your audience and if you don’t know, then split test it.

The form may also depend on what you want to teach. Do you need to be visual in conveying your information? Maybe a video is the best way to deliver the message.

Can the information be documented and will be easy to understand? Then text may be the better option.

How To Create Your First Lead Magnet

Make sure that your lead magnet looks professional and attractive. Even if you do have a good piece of content to give away, sometimes the way our lead magnet is designed can turn a would-be prospect off.

It can also lead to unsubscribes if there is no motivation to finish going through the content because of a lack of proper attention in compiling the lead magnet.

For designing eBooks, PDF reports or any text document, I would recommend Canva or PicMonkey. These design tools are awesome for crafting the perfect report.

For creating videos you can use Screencast-O-Matic to record your video and upload it to YouTube or Wistia.

If you’d like to incorporate images into your lead magnets you can use Unsplash which has some beautiful, royalty free images or Shutterstock which provides millions of royalty-free stock images.

Aside from the design, make sure that your headlines for your lead magnets are interesting.

No one is going to opt in for your lead magnet if the hook is boring. Here are a few things to consider when writing your headline:

• Does it solve a problem? Example, 21-day challenge to lose belly fat
• Make it specific. Example, 10 ways to work from anywhere in the world
• Is it easily digestible? Example, free home-buyers 15 point checklist
• Does it arouse curiosity? Example, learn how I generated $10,000 in under 2 months without a product. This last one I actually did and wrote an eBook about it.

How To Promote Your Lead Magnet

Where exactly does your lead magnet fit into your marketing? Obviously it needs to be the centre of everything that you do for your business because it is going to help you meet new people who you may end up working with one day.

If you have a website or a blog, you can start filtering your visitors by installing your lead magnet there. If you’re using WordPress as your content management software, you can install your lead magnet on the top bar using a plug in like WPFront. Do you see that top bar right on top of this blog post? That’s what it will look like.

If you don’t yet have a blog, learn how to start one here. 

You can also use LeadPages to create your landing pages and publish it on your WordPress website or blog by using the LeadPages plugin.

If you do not have a website or blog but still want to get leads for your business, LeadPages can act as a standalone landing page which you can promote via traffic channels such as Pinterest, Facebook, YouTube or Twitter.

This is how I am able to generate leads from Facebook by simply adding a link to my landing page and asking people to opt in for my lead magnet.

I do the same for Pinterest (you can check out Pinterest Traffic Avalanche for a Pinterest traffic strategy).

3 Major Reasons Why You May Not Be Getting Leads In Your Business

So you may already have implemented some steps to getting leads but you’re finding it difficult to get one person to bite.

Here are a few things to consider:

You do not have enough traffic

Traffic is an absolute necessity for any business. From traffic you get leads. So if your traffic numbers are low, then this could be a good indication as to why you’re not getting any leads into your business.

Consider traffic generation strategies that increase the number of visitors to your website. The more people that see your website, the more people are likely to opt in for your lead magnet if it’s a good one. 

A good opt in rate for any lead magnet is 40-50%. So if you have 95 visitors to your landing page per day, that would mean that you can potentially have 38-48 leads per day.

Increase your traffic and get more leads.

People do not want your lead magnet

As already mentioned, if your lead magnet is boring or not enticing enough, people are not going to opt into it.

A good way to see what type of lead magnet works, is to test it with your audience.

I would recommend having two to three different types of lead magnets (if you are just getting started and don’t yet know your audience, make your lead magnet brief content) and see what is converting.

Once you know what your audience wants you can then create better lead magnets based on their desires.

Your landing page is not attractive

How your landing page/lead magnet looks to a visitor, is a good indication of whether they will trust you enough to provide their contact details in exchange for your lead magnet.

Poorly designed landing pages can cause visitors to abandon the site without even considering what it has to offer. When designing your landing page, I recommend using software that will create professional looking websites.

I use LeadPages because it is inexpensive at $37/month and their templates are beautiful. Do not be tempted to use free landing page software. Some do not allow you to track important elements of your marketing, their functionality is clumsy and frankly they can make your website look spammy.

When you’re starting a business, be prepared to invest in these tools if you want to stand out and be considered an expert by your audience.

Wrapping Up

I have given you the 411 on leads and how to get them for your business. These steps can be applied to any business model.

In fact, if you know how to create a lead magnet and what type of lead magnet to use in your business, then you’re on your way to selling your products and services.

Here’s a useful and very simple formula for you to remember when building any business:

Traffic + Leads = Sales

That’s it! That’s all there is to generating sales. Have a stead flow of traffic from traffic channels like Google, Pinterest, Facebook or YouTube, direct the traffic to a blog or website, offer them a freebie which is your lead magnet and follow up with them in an email sequence to generate the sale.

The post How To Get Subscribers And Leads For Any Online Business appeared first on I Am Dawn-Marie.

It doesn’t matter what type of business you own. Whether you’re a freelance writer, a cake maker, a real estate agent; if you want to take your prospect through a structured path to know more about your products and service, then a sales funnel is the answer.

In this post I am going to give you the complete guide to sales funnels.

So you will learn what it is all about and how to create one. So many people still ask me what the heck is a sales funnel and whilst I wrote a post about network marketing sales funnels, I think it is necessary that I cover one for all businesses.

What you will learn:

• What is a sales funnel?
• The anatomy of a sales funnel
• Why should you use a sales funnel?
• Tools that you will need for a sales funnel
• How to design a sales funnel?
• Examples of sales funnels
• Build your own sales funnel challenge

What is a sales funnel?

A sales funnel is the process of taking someone through a path where they are first interested in your business, then they get to know about your business through education and finally you close the sale after they have considered your business.

The ideal sales funnel will also filter out people who do not match your customer avatar and only permit those who are genuinely interested to enter in the funnel.

After all people who are similar to your customer avatar are the ones that truly matter.

If you think of a how a funnel looks you will see that it is larger at the top and narrower at the bottom.

A sales funnel has the same effect. So many people will come through your business but only a few will make it to the end which is the sale.

Everyone is not the perfect client for your business, so using a sales funnel will help you only speak to those that are interested and will not waste your time.    

The Anatomy Of A Sales Funnel

I am going to break down for you how a sales funnel functions.

There are three steps in a basic sales funnel but as you become advanced in marketing you will learn about longer sales funnels where there are more steps such as up-sells, cross-sells and down-sells.

If you are new to sales funnels then I’d recommend that you stick to a basic sales funnel and master it, until you can implement a longer funnel.

Top – Awareness

At the top of your funnel, which is the wider part, you are exposing everyone to your brand.

You are showing as many people your product or service since at this time you do not know who is likely to be interested.

The biggest mistake that business owners make, is that they see everyone as a potential client.

Everyone is not a potential client until they take their first step through your funnel. From the time they enter into your funnel, they will start to qualify themselves and as they go through the funnel you will be able to pull different qualities out of them to see if they are representative of who you want your client to be.

So at the top of the funnel this is where you will get people to show an interest.

This involves you spreading your message about your brand, what your unique selling point is, how you can solve the person’s problem and the product or service that you offer as the solution.

More than likely when you show your brand message to everyone, 40% or more will show an interest.

This 40% will take the first step of opting into your sales funnel.

Middle – Education and Consideration

After you have introduced your brand to an audience and you have segmented that audience into those who are interested from those who are not interested, it is time to reduce that figure further by educating your prospects about your product or service.

This happens in the middle of the funnel (the bridge page) and is called the education and consideration phase.

It is where you educate your prospects about what you have to offer and you sell them on how you can solve their problem.

For example, if you are promoting an ESL (English as a second language) course and you want attendees for that course then the bridge page can provide useful information to your prospects about who the course is for, who it is not for, the course features, the course benefits, the pros and cons of taking the course and the price of the course.

You can even go so far as to teach your prospects something of value so they can trust your expertise. This is all part of building a relationship.

So if you own the course this would be a strategy I would use to get the prospect to know you, like you and trust what you’re saying.

If you are promoting an affiliate product for example, you can still teach the prospect something about the product so they can make an informed decision about whether it is for them.

Remember that during the education phase, you should not focus so much on the sale. You should focus on providing as much value as possible to help the prospect make a buying decision and enter the consideration phase.

End – Sale

Finally after you have educated your prospect and they have considered your product or service, they may be so convinced that it influences their purchase.

Great! You have a sale.

But sometimes it may take the prospect some time to think about whether they want your product or service.

This is where a huge percentage drop off and only a very small percentage moves forward with the sale.

Conversion rates from bridge pages to sales is less than 5% so don’t be frustrated if you have not made the sale at this point.

Remember when your prospect entered your funnel at the top?

Well when they entered the funnel at the top, they would have gone into a bucket by providing you with some piece of contact information that you can follow up with them later on.

They say that the fortune is in the follow up so be sure to have a good email marketing sequence on the back end to remind your prospect about your product or service and push them towards making the sale.

Why Should You Use a Sales Funnel?

In the beginning I mentioned that your business must use a sales funnel.

It may not be a suitable model for every business and some businesses may want to ditch the entire process altogether.

But here’s what happens when a sales funnel is not used.

Let’s say you expose your business website to a group of people and one person immediately purchases a product.

That’s great.

What happened however is that the other nine people were potentially interested but you did not know that because you did not capture their details. Now you do not have their information to properly educate and follow up with them to close the sale.

They then see your competitor who is using a sales funnel and when they are ready to purchase maybe a month or two months later, your competitor gets the sale.

However, had you used a sales funnel and retained their contact information, you would have been the go-to business for the purchase because you remained fresh in their minds through your follow up methods and the value and education you provided.

By skipping the stages of a sales funnel you are losing business and it will cost you money in the longer run.

Every business who has a proper marketing strategy has the following in mind:

• They have a good system for following up with leads
• Their product or service is of a high value with a high price tag and understand that it is necessary to build a relationship with their leads before asking them to commit to a large purchase.
• They ensure that they educate their prospects about their product or service so the prospect knows how it can solve their problems.

Tools That You Will Need For A Sales Funnel

For your sales funnel you will need the following tools:

• A sales funnel builder like Clickfunnels or LeadPages. You can read my review here of LeadPages to see whether this product is ideal for you.
• Video recorder. If you are using video to educate your prospect about your product or service you can use Screencast-o-matic or Camtasia.
• Video input to upload your recorded video. You can upload a video using YouTube or Wistia
• Email autoresponder. Some great email autoresponders are Aweber or GetResponse.
• Product or service on a website

How to Design a Sales Funnel?

In practice this is a blueprint of what a sales funnel looks like.

I will show you how to build one using the LeadPages software. You can of course build this with any website builder but the process may take longer if they do not have a facility where they can connect pages through button links.

To start you can sign up for LeadPages. They offer a free 14 day free trial then it’s $37/month for their basic plan.

Once you have logged into your account click on Templates at the top. You will have access to over 100 landing page templates.

In this example I am going to create a simple opt in sales funnel.

Select Filter By and then scroll down to Opt in. You are free to browse through the existing templates to see which one catches your eye.

For this example I will choose the Health and Fitness Opt in Page. So I will hover over it and select Use This Template.

Once you have selected it, you will be asked to name your page. Give it a simple name to help identify it. This is purely for your own reference.

Next you will be taken to the page editor where you can begin to edit and customise the funnel to your liking.

In the page editor you will see the following:

A the widgets which you can drag and drop anywhere on your funnel drawing board. So if you’d like to add more headlines, text or images, simply select the widget you’d like to add and drag it to the area on the drawing board and release.

B the image area. This is the image of your funnel that will appear to your target audience. If you’d like to change the image here, click on the gear icon.

Then edit section styles.

You will then be taken to the Background image menu where you can change the image, remove the image and alter the settings for your background image.

C the Subtitle text area. These are areas that are free to be edited. You can replace the text here with your own by clicking in the area and typing new text.

D the Title text area. The same as the subtitle text area which is free to be edited with your own text.

E the call to action button. This button is what you are telling your target audience to do. Your call to action should be short and to the point and the action that you want your audience to take. For example some great call to actions are:

• Learn more
• Submit
• Subscribe
• Yes! Send me the video
• Send me the video
• I’m in!

To connect the top of your funnel to the middle part of your funnel you first of all need to create a page for the middle part. To do so, simply exit out of this editor by clicking on the LeadPages icon in the top left hand corner.

You will return to the main dashboard and you can create a new page by following the above steps.

Make sure and give your new page a name that you can remember as you will need to select it later on.

Once you have created the middle page, return to your top page and now we will edit the call to action button.

By editing the call to action button we are telling LeadPages what action we want them to perform and where we want to take the visitor after they have provided their details.

So let’s click anywhere on the call to action button and a small menu will appear.

Here you can edit the color and font of the button but for now we are going to link this call to action button. So select the link icon.

When you select the link icon a menu box will appear. Click on view/edit and your opt in box will appear.

To customise this opt in box hover over it and the gear icon will appear. Click on the gear icon.

Your menu will appear where you can select Edit Section styles. Go ahead and play around with the settings to customise the box the way you want it.

To link this call to action box click anywhere on the call to action button again and an Edit Your Form menu will appear on the left hand side.

You will need to add an integration which is the email marketing software. This will ensure that when your audience enters their contact details, it is stored in your email marketing software so you can continue to follow up with them and market to them later on.

To add an integration, click Add Integration.

Click on More Services.

Then select your integration from the integrations screen.

You will be required to provide an API key so follow the instructions on how to find your API key.

You can add an account name. This is purely for your reference.

Once you have completed both tabs click Connect.

You will then return to the editor dashboard where you can select your integrated email marketing service.

Select the email list you would like to add your contacts to.

The email list is a list of contacts that you can send emails to at once. You can send tailored messages to your email list with the intention of following up and continuing to sell your product.

• How To Get Email Subscribers As A Newbie

To create a list in the Aweber email marketing software you can read this blog post here.

Otherwise go to your email marketing software and read their guidelines on how to create an email list then return and refresh the screen.

Once you have selected your list click on Next Fields.

Here you will be able to customise your lead box by asking the lead to provide their name, email address, phone number or any other contact information you need to follow up with them.

I recommend that you ask for the least bit of information to drive high conversion rates. I usually ask for the name and email address only.

Click Next Actions. On this page you will tell LeadPages where you want the visitor to go after they have provided their contact details and clicked on the call to action button.

It will be here that you can connect the previous middle page that you created.

Select LeadPage and select it from the list.

Click Save & Close.

Remember if you wish to direct your visitors to a sales page after the middle page, be sure to add the appropriate call to action button on the middle page and link it to the sales page URL.

For those who prefer a visual I prepared a video for you.

Examples of sales funnels

Here’s a few examples of sales funnels in action.

Kat Walters is promoting an Instagram course.

On the opt in page notice her title and call to action which then goes to a webinar registration opt in box and finally onto her thank you page which is a video and confirmation of the webinar information.

This is a two step funnel.

Here’s one of my funnels. I am promoting an affiliate product.

My opt in page leads to an opt in box and then onto the bridge page. Notice the video where I am talking to my leads as they come through the funnel. This starts to build the relationship so they know who I am.

Also notice the button that goes over to the sales page where the webinar product is sold.

This is a three step funnel.
