Social Media and Craig's List
I have had sporadic success with sites like FB and Twitter, but I have found a regular presence is key. I typically use it to build and maintain client relationships. A friend of a friend could be your next big client!
In addition, I have started checking classified ads via Craig's List. The amount of scams and junk is rather annoying, but I have secured several new clients with this method. Using Craig's List can be time consuming and I have found it more productive to respond to ads rather than to post my own services. To be efficient, I have created several response templates that work to respond to most ads in my field.
One reminder - keep your eyes open for new clients when your busy and don't ever wait for a downturn to start marketing your company. Success creates more success!
