How To Find Clients For Subscription Development Stuff
A few years ago, Tim Abell pinged me on Twitter about an episode of TBOA:
@tim_abell: I’ve been listening to “The Business of Authority: Is Selling Subscriptions For You?” It got me thinking about how to find a client base for subscription dev stuff.
@jonathanstark: Any ideas so far?
@tim_abell: Phone all my old clients
@tim_abell: Trawl LinkedIn
@tim_abell: Go to the right kind of meetup group
@tim_abell: Ask for referrals
@tim_abell: Do some SEO for some niche or other and hope for the best
@tim_abell: Decide it’s all too hard & scary and go back to JobServe
That last one... LOL!
But I could really feel Tim’s pain.
And I know lots of other people are in the same trap.
Twitter was never the best place to have a long conversation, so we agreed to chat for an hour on the phone and publish the recording as an episode of Ditching Hourly.
Here’s a link to that session:
Tim mentioned at the end of the hour that he was really hopeful that our chat would help others in a similar situation.
If you find it useful, please let him know (and maybe share it with a few friends).
Yours,
