Hey everyone 👋 I’ve got my niche defined, service offer structured, and everything built out. But when it comes to actual outreach, I’m feeling completely stuck and don't know where to start. I need to land my very first client to build a solid case study, but I’m operating on a very limited budget out of India. For anyone who started with near-zero ad spend, what actually worked best to get that first deal over the line? Outreach Channels: Did you find better success with personalized LinkedIn/X DMs, cold emails, or direct local outreach? Proof: How did you pitch or build trust when you didn't have previous case studies yet? Tools/Strategy: Are there any low-cost/free tools or cold outreach workflows you’d recommend for someone starting out? Would love to hear any feedback, lessons learned, or strategies that worked for you in the early days!
