I need your help with marketing
I have been a self employed web and graphics designer now for nearly 5 years with over 10 years experience designing web sites. In the past I have never really worried about marketing myself. I generally got business by word of mouth and reputation but after taking a breat from the freelance work I find myself starting from scratch again and struggling to get that first customers through the door.
When I first started out I became a member of the federation of small business and that is where my initial clients came from and it went from there. The problem with that is the membership costs £100 and at this time I do not want to put out any cash unless I really REALLY need too. In my own mind I know some real basic marketing strategies and understand the power of social media in marketing your business but I think I need a fresh pair of eyes looking in from the outside to help me get the ball rolling.
I launched my new Finlay Design Solutions site earlier this week and I have profiles / pages on the biggest social platforms but I need to learn how to use these platforms in the correct manner in order to maximize the marketing potential that they offer.
I am looking for free advice on how to use social media to help grow my business and any other marketing advice that you can help with. I know you do not really get anything for free these days but I am sure we can work something out if there are any generous marketing guru’s out there willing to help me.

Hi Barry,
Interesting and refreshing to see someone really putting out a ‘help me’ plea these days – seems everyone thinks they know everything! Shoot me an email with links to the profiles you’ve got up and running and I’ll see what I can do to point you in the right direction – all you’ll owe me is some recommendations!
Thanks,
Jason Dilworth
