Attracting Clients – How Independent Professionals and solopreneurs can get new clients using the internet
Let me know if you like it.
Today I have started writing my book. It all started with the idea to write a book about the subject I talk about a lot How to get clients via the internet for small business owners.
Since I need some structure I thought it would be a good idea to find first a publisher and then start writing the book. This route should give me some deadlines that I need to finalize the book at all.
The first contact with my publisher started via my friend Martijn Aslander. He invited some friends to the Lifehacking Academy. These publisher friends, that published the Dutch translation of the book ‘Upgrading Your Life‘ by Gina Trapani, were in my presentation during that day. The presentation was about online networking. An article or two from lifehacking.nl that I wrote is in this book.
Today I was again on the site of Shelfari. A friend on Twitter pointed me to the bookshelf of A.W. Bruna – the publisher of my book. Not sure why, but today I decided to open an account on this social network around books and reading.
It is very nice and easy. There is not a lot of detials that you need to add to open an account. Of course, like always, I advice you to give as much details as possible. It makes the connecting more easy. Finding a possible connection through the books that you read and checking the profile makes it easier to connect.
This is what my bookshelf looks like now.
You are an independent professional, solopreneur or self-employed, i.e. author, speaker, coach, trainer, consultant. You want more clients!
Use the internet to attract clients with my three steps:
publish, contact and connect.
