How to find customers on social media networks (promote yourself in social networks)?

Question

Freelance

Guys, first a short prev. story

story

Создал как-то группу в вк , что-то вроде своего блога . Иногда кидаю туда заметки или ещё что .
Ну создал и забыл , как у многих это бывает . Пошёл дальше чесать биржи .
В один момент в 1 группе веб студии из соседнего города написал в комментариях что-то вроде
"Привет , могу дизайн простой навоять и сверстать по быстрому . Работаю около года на фрилансе , вот решил спросить . Может у вас есть вакансии ?" По сути отписал просто чтоб посмотреть каково это вообще устраиваться на работу xD
Так вот , за следующую неделю мне в лс написали 4 человека по поводу работы . К сожалению с заказами 2 я банально бы не справился а с 3 не договорился . Но вот 4 прокнул и я был обеспечен работой почти на месяц (нужно было полностью перебрать сайт - каталог магазина строй материалов .). Уже после того как работа закончилась я поинтересовался "как вы на меня вышли ?" и узнал что они просто увидели мой коммент в группе 'как она сказала' которая "делает сайты у нас в городе" . После зашёл в эту самую группу и понял что коммент мой уже удалили :( Но заметил что за время пока он весел мне в группу (мой что-то типа блог) набежало чуть больше 20 человек . И почти все они с того самого городка .
Мне понравилось работать с заказчиками которые сами к тебе приходят , хочу ещё :(

Recently I had a chance to work with a customer who contacted me himself (described in the story above). Liked .
Now I’m thinking how to generally promote myself and my services in social networks. networks? Bad thoughts pop into my head right away.

spoiler

1. Спам (всех вечно бесит)
2. Упаси господь Накрутка в моё группу 'блог' (хотя от неё точно толку 0 будет так как либо мёртвые акк либо люди которым это нафиг не нужно .)

Does anyone have personal experience? or at least a theoretical strategy that can help me?

Answer 1

And what prevents you from repeating a successful action to start with? Since one message had such a result, write a hundred similar messages in similar groups and see what happens. It's not spam - it wasn't intended to spam this message, was it? If they were purposefully looking for a job, they would have done it.
The only thing you need to take care of the security of your account is to write from a "working" account and different messages, and not copy-paste.
There is such a freelancer - Ruslan Barabanshchikov. He has been running a VK blog from the very beginning of his freelance activities. He says that for two years he has had all his clients only from a blog and recommendations, he has never even visited a freelance exchange. And he just describes his every day, even without any beautiful descriptions and self-promotion. Captivates with openness. Take an example.

Answer 2

Spam. How else...

Answer 3

Do you know how people become famous? They shine their faces wherever possible and not necessary, even where they were not asked. Communicate with people as much as possible, imagine that your name is a brand. And the more heard, the better. Especially since you have a small town, as far as I understand.

Answer 4

well, look how the "coolest designer" in the Russian Federation, Temchik, is promoting himself.
True, he does not have social. a new kind of network, he started a long time ago. he has a livejournal. but essentially the same.

Answer 5

just tell more often what they did and for whom, what they used new, etc.

Answer 6

We find publics on the subject and
buy ads in them
???
Profit

Answer 7

theoretical strategy that can help me ?

Look for an SMM manager who will do everything for you, or paid social media promotion courses, for example, Real Vkontakte from BM, and do everything yourself.

Answer 8

Make your own page, spam portfolio reviews in groups

Answer 9

As an advertising specialist, I will comment.
Your post, at first glance, is a very competent advertisement of your services, because, it seems, everything is framed in storytelling, and hidden under a spoiler, and with a distracting question on another topic - well, it seems, very high quality and imperceptible. But...
But all such actions will bring you, slowly but surely, a negative reputation. So change your approach.
Well - or do not listen to me and do not change)

Now about the essence of the issue.
To promote correctly in social networks is
1. Tell about yourself. Be sure to tell about your goals (big and small), about your achievements, about your directions in which you improve yourself. Be sure to talk about your failures.
2. Study and master the techniques of fighting for attention to yourself.
And it is better not to use the technology of artificial conflict, since in 90% of cases this also negatively affects the reputation.
3. Train in yourself a "good person". Just like that - constantly train)), that is, periodically help other people, at least a little, at least in something
4. Introduce a hierarchy in the community around you. (publish it or not, that's the second question)
Here are the four most important points needed for self-promotion in the social. networks.
Hope it was helpful.
