To do it, try to find out which platforms your hypothetical client uses.
Usually, the most widely used are:
- – Linked in

Create your business profile and start to get followers.
Join Relevant Social Media Groups
It’s really important for your business not to start immediately to promote your products or services on your business profile. The best thing is to start with building relationship with other
people who are interested in your industry’s area: it will help you to create your reputation and to get your name out of there.
A good choice is to join relevant group where people will begin to know you. Most of social media are available for almost any industry (especially Linked in). It would be great for you to create your own group and to interact with your followers through discussions.
Remember that it’s important to be as much available as you can, you have to become a friend for them, a person they can trust.
Create a Schedule for New Post
Now that you have a follower base, you must think about a schedule for you post.
It’s better to avoid self-promoting post, they never get good results.
You have to find a good balance between three different kind of post:
- – Self-promotion post

- – Curating post
If you want your reputation to grow and your new business to be successful, more or less half of your post should give beneficial information that your followers will enjoy.
Why?
Because your client will feel that they are getting much more than what they have paid for!
To do it, I suggest you to look around in the web: there are tons of free content that you can use and that your follower will find useful. Do not forget to use catchy and funny images, people like that kind of iussues.
Create a Facebook Ad Campaign
Over 70% of internet users have a Facebook account. It means that you can achieve a very large segment of population and that you have a good chance to get your target.
Now pay attention on this:
When you start a Facebook advertisement Campaign you must choose a PAY-PER-IMPRESSIONS instead of a PAY-PER-CLICK.
If you do it like this, for only few dollars thousand people will see the post you promoted.
It’s a really cheap way to promote your online business. For example, a Google AdWords campaign could cost you hundreds and hundreds dollars.
Offer a Freebie Item to New Followers
This tip can really boost your sells.
It’s a good solution to give to your new followers a Free Content to download.
