What I Learned About Getting Clients Online
Not long ago, I was doing all the things too.
I was showing up on Instagram, posting valuable content, and being consistent.
But the bookings? They weren’t rolling in — and it started to mess with my confidence.
I started second-guessing everything:
- Should I lower my prices?
- Do I need to be on TikTok?
- Is my offer any good?
Here’s what I’ve learned since then (and what I wish I’d known sooner):
A lot of the popular client-getting strategies online… sound good in theory, but fall flat without the right foundation.
The Top 5 “Get Clients Online” Myths You Hear All. The. Time.
1️. “Post More. Be Consistent. Show Up Daily.”
Consistency matters. But posting more isn’t a marketing strategy — it’s just an activity.
If your content doesn’t connect, clarify, or convert — showing up more won’t help.
✅ What works instead: Message-first marketing.
Before you post, ask: Does this speak directly to a problem my ideal client wants solved right now?
2️. “Just DM More People.”
Look, we’re all about building relationships…
But cold pitching strangers in the DMs? Awkward. Draining. Ineffective.
✅ What works instead: A funnel that is strategically setup to position you as a trusted expert.
Nurture your audience through clear messaging, helpful content, and a brand that builds trust — so they’re already warm when they reach out.
3️. “Run a Free Challenge.”
These can create quick buzz… but often attract freebie seekers, not buyers.
✅ What works instead: A clear, high-value lead magnet that solves a real problem.
Something simple. Strategic. Trust-building.
(Psst: I’ve got one I’ll tell you about at the end of this post!)
4. “Lower Your Prices.”
Slow sales? The temptation to slash your price is real.
But most people don’t buy because it’s cheap. They buy because it’s clear and aligned.
✅ What works instead: Raise your clarity, not lower your price.
If people aren’t buying, it’s likely your messaging or visual branding doesn’t reflect the value you bring.
5. “Be Everywhere Online.”
TikTok. YouTube. Threads. Pinterest. LinkedIn. Instagram…
No wonder you’re tired.
✅ What works instead: Focused visibility.
Pick one or two platforms you actually enjoy — and show up with clarity and intention.
