I wanted to share some thoughts on finding and closing clients, especially if you're just starting out. One of the best strategies I've found is to leverage niche communities, particularly on platforms like Discord and Slack. Here's how you can do it: 1. Join Niche Communities: Look for communities centered around specific technologies like Webflow, Wized, or Xano. These are places where people are actively building and helping each other. 2. Be Active: Participate in discussions, help others, and make yourself known. Being active can make your conversations warm since people will already recognize you. 3. Utilize Job Boards: Many of these communities have job boards. Post on them, respond to them, and engage with potential clients. The projects listed are usually well-scoped, meaning the clients know what they want, making it easier for you to close deals. 4. Build Relationships: This is how you meet people and build things for them. The connections you make in these communities will lead to your first clients and even bigger opportunities down the line. 5. Avoid Cold Messaging: This method is more effective than cold messaging on LinkedIn. For every message I send in a community, I almost always get a response. I can hardly say the same for LinkedIn. I use this strategy myself, and it’s something I recommend to others. Even this community we’re in right now is a great example. We have group calls, and sometimes people need things built. This type of organic outreach works, and I've seen it benefit many who attend our community calls.
