#345: The Only 6 Methods For Getting Clients in 2025


Listen Later

Today we're continuing with our "Back to Basics" journey by focusing on something that's often overlooked by freelancers - promotion.

Promotion is super important to keep the clients coming in, but a lot of freelancers think they just need to be good at what they do.

They admire those who seem to have endless work, thinking it all comes from word-of-mouth alone. But, in the early days of freelancing, just relying on referrals can be risky, leading to the scary "feast or famine" cycle.

This situation can force freelancers to scramble, taking any job they can just to pay the bills. These "bill-paying" clients might not always be a good match, and we might not even want to work with them, but bills gotta be paid, right?

I've been there, and I can tell you it's a quick way to burn out and start resenting your clients.

In our chat today, we're going to help you avoid getting stuck with just bill-paying clients by sharing six ways to promote your freelance work effectively. If you're having trouble finding enough clients, it's probably because people just don't know you're there.

That's where knowing how to effectively promote yourself comes in. By trying out one or two of the methods we're going to talk about today, you can bring stability to your work. More clients mean less stress, which lets you cherry-pick the projects you really love.

In this episode you’ll discover:

  • How to avoid "bill paying work"
  • Six promotion methods for freelancers
  • How client value affects your business' needs
  • Why referral programs work
  • The benefits of paid promotion
  • Why owned assets are so vital to your business
  • Why Clients By Design is for you
