When you start to make money, your first profits should be reinvested
into your business. Especially if your first profits come
from free advertising. I suggest you upgrade to some paid
advertising programs, so that your next profits come faster. Or
buy software that will help you promote your business more
effectively. If you decide to spend some money at the beginning
of your business, you should keep some of your earnings, let’s
say 20-40%, but no more. Spend the rest on upgrades and tools to
build your business faster.

[...] Here’s one: if you’re going into business for yourself, consider marketing to the people who will give you money, not the people doing the same thing as you. Once you’ve decided that you’re going to make a business out of your ability to blog and tweet and navigate LinkedIn, let’s be clear: your customer isn’t me. Your customer is someone who doesn’t know how to blog and tweet and navigate LinkedIn. Your customer is possibly a marketer, or a small business person, or a non-profit. But hint: it’s not another social media type. read more [...]

I think Mark Buchholz makes an excellent point. Sometimes people forget that a face-to-face meeting can help you clearly communicate what you can offer to the client and also build a more lasting relationship. In my experience in design, I have always had much more repeat business with companies I physically interacted with that the ones I only virtually interacted with.

For me it’s still about going out to other cities, offices and exhibitions to find and talk to people that acually start to support your projects with real money and pay for what you do. Social Media is THE tool to back up this real life work and make you even faster by sharing information. These information may make you a winner on you next real life workday.

Great post!

Always, it’s three important things that matter if you are looking for business and have any web presence at all. And to my mind, these three things are the only things that drive business.
1. A Headline that matters – to your ideal client!
2. Media that proves you deliver! ie: a web presence, Regularly updated samples of your best Photos, Audio, Video, Words – easiest to do through blogging or commenting on blogs (if that’s where your ideal client will see them).
3. Calls to Action – keep just a couple great ones and focus on the engagement level of action – ie: follow me on twitter.com, subscribe to my feed.

Things not to worry about:
1. your logo
2. a standard web site

Great blog, Chris. There are a lot of ideas you’ve given that apply to me as a composer looking for future collaborations with directors, with some adjustments:)
