How to get my first SEO client?

[winstrol]

I'm trying to find a rich client with money to buy my service which costs 16k. I also have another SEO service that costs 3k/month. But I haven't found any clients yet... I also don't have a portfolio, or any previous customers.


What I have tried so far:
Cold Emails
LinkedIn

Though I haven't really done enough emailing, or connecting on linkedin.

I know that I could cold call, and also give them a pay-for-results kind of service, or even a free service altogether. Though the previous one would mean that I would have to take a loan.

So how do I get my first rich SEO client?

Okay, there are so many things wrong with this.
First of all, nobody for fuck's sake is going to buy a service from someone who has nothing to back it up, let alone a portfolio.
And 16k? You do understand that not even most Top 20 agencies charge that much for simple SEO work, right?
Also, you're trying to find a rich client right off the bat. That's not gonna happen. Sorry, you'll either have to work for peanuts or a moderate client first.

What kind of logic is this? Are you 12?

You have a SEO service that costs 16k? And you ask where to get clients?

If I'm paying 16k for SEO it better come with a brick of cocaine and a room full of hookers.

 

[winstrol]

ok ok.... It's not just simple onsite SEO, but I get it.... I should maybe lower the price a little bit.

I would have offered free service or cheap service with quality. In SEO you can never say what gonna happen next so providing some links for free to someone can work. If they would like your work, you may get more work by reference.

Uh.. What are you promising?
First page first site on 50 very hard keywords?

 

[BbHhWwVM]

Rank #1 for the keywords of your clients and they won't ask you much, right?

Visit potential client.
Accept cup of coffee.
Accidentally on purpose spill the coffee all over the potential client.
Whilst they are distracted by this, use Google chrome CSS editor on their computer and edit the search results so that your site is number 1 for the broad term "SEO".
Show the client.
Client immediately signs up with you.
Job done.

Alternatively, lower the cost of your services so they are inline with having no recommendations and no previous work or success stories.
Get clients.
Get some previous work examples, reviews and success stories.
Raise prices.

You should try to visit local businesses. Dominate the room, do what I do. Get one of those 15L water cooler bottles and bring it to the business slung over one shoulder, then slam that motherfuck on the ground.

Everytime you feel a little thirsty while you talk to them lift the bottle to your mouth with both arms, make sure you spill plenty of water over yourself and the floor every time you do, also, let out a deep, loud exhalation of satisfaction after every sip, then finish the routine by slamming the bottle on the ground again before loudly saying "pfew, I needed that, I was getting a bit THIRSTY" – yell thirsty as loud as you can.

When you're done talking to them, pick up the bottle in such a way that the remainder pours out as you leave the business.

first of all 16k what dollars or which currency

I'll take a review copy

To begin, have a single example of being able to deliver results.

(thats 99.99% of all SEO's unemployed)

If you have no clients and no portfolio, how do you know your methods actually work?

Try approaching this from a client's perspective. If someone came to you asking for a job, but had no references and no provable experience, would you hire them? Work on gaining provable experience first, then you'll have no issue finding clients.

The SEO field is already saturated with scammers, and right now you're doing nothing to prove that you're not.

step 1: lower prices
step 2: use that knowledge of yours to get high quality traffic fom search engines
step 3: get clients and get paid

At 16k you will never get a client, unless you can provide solid proof that you know your shit when it comes to seo, which I doubt.
