Hi welcome to my new post.
Here I will be covering up 10 Ways to Attract your Clients’ Attention Using Social Media.
Now, introducing Social Media would just be way out of line here, and in today’s date, everyone is using social media sites like LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook to connect with other people, play-around, share what you do and at times even end up getting jobs through them.

Social media can provide a pot of gold of new clientèle, and new projects as a designer or coder, you would only need to know how to get it open. It quite possible to attract great clientèle through these Social media sites in a more efficient way rather wasting time.
By now, you’ve done the basic part, setting up a profile on social media sites and have the basic information all written up.

The following 10 tips will help you get the most out of the social media sites to get potential clients:

1. Always update your profiles about what you’re working on currently. For example:

‘Just finished with my new music poster, time for some relaxing: http://www.shareyourwork.com’

2. Share some photos of your workspace. This will put out that extra excitement in people to view your work. And with photos, your promotion will get that credibility that it requires.

3. Always ask for people’s feedback on your work, just share a link or a photo

4. Always update your profiles with the recent changes you’ve made to your portfolio

5. It’s a good idea to express your appreciation from your co-workers, fans, clientèle

6. Try hitting up a friendly conversation with your client, or ask them a relevant question

7. Get chatty regarding your industry. Your tweets will definitely keep your visible for the potential clients

8. Share news. It will surely bring your credibility up as a professional, whether you’ve been interviews by a blog or you posting new articles to your own blog.

9. Try your best to arrange meetings with potential clients face-to-face with social media as your first point of contact. Nothing can replace that first one on one meeting.

10. Start up a discussion relating your work, especially on Facebook. Facebook is a viral way to get that ongoing visibility. Potential clients (if you’re connected with them) will surely notice it.

Remember, the idea behind engaging with people on these social media sites is more about building a stronger network and relationships rather than trying hard to “sell” yourself.

Also, do not restrict yourself to a certain themed groups / networks, be open-minded and join other networks as well, perhaps a subsidiary industry’s people? You should be open to the fact that something might turn up from a whole different side of the world for you.

Hope you find this useful.

Happy socializing.
