Hey Blackhat community,

I have been having a lot of difficulty finding clients the past few months and I am wondering if any of you have some insight as to what I may be doing wrong or if there is a better place I can look for clients.

I mainly relied on Criaglist as my lead generator, but I am starting to see my numbers drop significantly. I remember last year I invested something close to $30/month for craiglist ads and I would get about 30-40 leads. Today, I am lucky to get 1-2 leads. I don't know if it's because I need to spend more money on ads on craiglist, or because maybe people don't search for these services on craiglist anymore, or because the market has become completely saturated and that there is no longer as great of demand for these services as there was before.

I would like to hear some of your opinions and ideas. Thanks!
 
I think that you should also try email cold marketing, it is not dead as many people say you just have to give it a nice twist in order to get their attention and make the email look as targeted as you can.
 
You are saying you've been having troubles for the past 3 months. 30 leads sound fantastic! Have you tried other sources?

I have been having trouble within the past 3 months, yes. I noticed last year that my craiglist efforts yielded much greater results, such as 30 leads a month. Now, I am only generating about 1-2 leads a month. Something has gone terribly wrong.

Where are you getting the email addresses from? Are you just Googleing local businesses and then emailing the ones that are closest to you/

Try online marketplaces for social media services. I know that Fiverr has a section for this and somebody said it above, in a previous post.

But there are other platforms too.
 
try this - you can reply to 2 or more people in 1 post.

What's your average check? How does your service offer look like?
 
I usualy contact the websites in the niche and i pay for emails/contacts.
 
Do you already have a Fiverr Account ?
I do. I haven't generated a single lead. I feel like it is very saturated.

It can be tricky. I do SEO for a living and now my website ranks at the top of Google and I get 20+ daily leads.

If anyone is interested I am willing to jv my leads
20 leads a day is pretty amazing. I am very curious as to how you did that.

Are there other specific platforms that you recommend? i am currently using Fiverr and Craiglist.

What about phone calls to local business or local potential clients?
I have not tried the phone call approach. Have you been using that method? If so, how has that been working out for you? Do you approach only local businesses or do you look all over the country?

Yes, I found a pretty nice amount of clients with this method to manage their IG. When I said local, I meant all over the country :)

Craigslist? Did you creat ads in somekind specific areas and they generated leads? I actually tried this website and found noone offering these services :D
