Deep dives
Offering free help to struggling businesses
If you have gained knowledge in a particular field, you can offer free assistance to struggling businesses. Many businesses are not profitable, and they would appreciate your help. You can approach them and offer to utilize your skills for free, like social media marketing. Assure them that they won't have to pay you for your work, but they will need to cover the advertising costs. If you can deliver exceptional results, you can later establish a paid relationship with the business.
Building a case study and expanding client base
By getting remarkable outcomes for the first business you work with, you can create a strong case study. This case study will give you credibility and enable you to approach similar businesses with confidence. You can then offer your services to other printing companies or companies with similar services or products. This approach can mark the beginning of a new phase in your career where you expand your client base and continue growing.
