Getting leads

Hello guys, it is some time that i have been here. But now I need your help. I need some help with getting more customers. I have started new SEO agency in Slovakia - Europe. But I do not have any references for that site so nobody wants to mess up with me. How I can get deal and where I can get deal where I can proof my skill?

Thanks for every advice and sorry for my English.

You could put out some local advertisements? What about localized Facebook ads? Local Paper?

How some people get started is become their own reference. Meaning, you rank a few different websites for a few different keywords and use that as a representation of your skills.

Ok, so I am going to do some website and rank for good results. I want to know what is good search volume for long tail keywords? My keywords are getting about 40 - 50 per month. What do you think?
