#014: Getting Clients without Social Media

Words I believe:

You don’t own your social media. But you do own your strategy.

Getting Clients Without Social Media

Imagine waking up one day and realizing you’re locked out of your favorite platform. That happened to me with LinkedIn—and it shook me.

It made me realize something important:

If you only rely on social media, you’re always one glitch away from zero visibility.

That’s why today, I want to share 10 powerful ways to get clients without social media (plus a bonus tip that builds real authority).

Here we go:

1. Email Marketing

Your email list is yours. Use it.

Can’t stand writing? Record short videos to stay connected with your audience.

Start now—even with 10 people. They matter.

2. Podcast Guesting

Get in front of new audiences by sharing your story and expertise on others’ platforms.

Pro tip: Start with your existing network. People are always looking for guests.

3. SEO (Website + Blog)

Write for the questions your ideal client is Googling.

Keep your site simple. Repurpose blog content from your videos or past emails.

4. Google Ads

Yes, even if you focus on organic marketing.

Google Ads target people already searching for what you offer.

5. Join Online + Offline Communities

Communities build trust. Ask your network for private groups or associations. Don’t forget: real connection > algorithm wins.

6. Virtual & In-Person Networking

Conversations convert. Whether local or global, events are a fast way to meet leads—or get referrals.

7. Referrals

Happy clients love to refer. Keep it simple: “Know anyone else who could benefit from this?” goes a long way.

8. Collaboration Partners

Find aligned service providers and brainstorm how to grow together.

Guest trainings, bundle offers, or workshops = win-win.

9. Local Chamber of Commerce

Yes, it’s underrated. Chambers give you visibility, referrals, and credibility—especially for local businesses.

10. Business Conferences & Workshops

Keep learning and show up where your audience is.

This is one of the easiest ways to build both authority and pipeline. 

Bonus Tip: Get Published

Pitch articles to digital or print publications your audience reads.

Even 2–3 pieces per year can position you as a go-to expert.

Here’s the point:

You need options.

Because social media is powerful—but it’s not always reliable.

And if you want to build something real and resilient?

Start stacking strategies now. One at a time. 

As promised, growth in under 2 minutes.

👉 Hit reply and let me know:

Which of these strategies are you already using?

Which one are you going to try first?

 I read and respond to every message.

 You don’t need an algorithm to get clients.

You just need a plan.
