How I Got My First Client With 0 Case Studies, 0 Followers, and 0 Experience

Jul '25 • 💬 General

I had no brand.

No fancy website.

Just Google Docs and desperation.

But here’s what I did:

Step 1: I picked

one

offer

Something I could deliver even with minimal skills.

(For me, it was content + outreach help.)

Step 2: I reverse-engineered a dream client

I studied their business. Website. Socials. Offer.

Then made a 1-page audit with 2–3 real improvements.

Step 3: I sent them a video DM

In 60 seconds, I explained how I could help—

For free. No strings. Just to prove myself.

That one DM landed me a test project.

Which turned into a monthly client.

Which gave me a testimonial.

Which built my confidence.

Which started everything.

No ads. No cold emails.

Just initiative + a personalized approach.

Still the fastest way to get clients in 2024/2025.

If you haven’t done this yet—

You’re just procrastinating success.
