Power Prospecting

Don’t forget intermediaries like marketing agencies and recruiting firms specifically in your niche. They can give you access to a group of clients that don’t work with individual freelancers, but still have tons of great work.

Master Your Marketing

Use your industry hashtags to drive social media traffic to your site. Not using social media to market yourself? You’re missing out. Check out schedulers like Buffer and Hootsuite to keep that stuff automated.
