How do you get the word out WITHOUT a website?
Several readers wrote in to ask follow-up questions about a pair of messages in which I asserted:
- That consultants don’t need a website when they are starting out, and
- What consultants actually do need.
My favorite question was in response to the latter, and it was:
This is a great list! How would you recommend advertising these to potential clients without having a website?
Good question!
Off the top of my head:
- Newsletter
- Podcasting
- Speaking events
- Networking
- Direct outreach
- Social media
- Advertising
Here’s the thing...
There are lots of ways to get the word out.
And having a good website with clear messaging is a great thing to have.
But if you don’t have one yet, don’t let it stop you from getting started in consulting.
Yours,
