Can you start by listing what you've tried so far? There are innumerable strategies and opportunities for inbound marketing today.

Your site, for example, is not going to work to attract clients, but I assume you know that? If not, you need to start by reading some top ranked books on Amazon for marketing in general and inbound marketing in particular.

Prospective clients will find out about you because they saw your ___________? The most important thing a prospective clients will need to determine before they can consider hiring you is _________?




I've just been using oDesk. I get referrals from these, but bad clients generally aren't friends with good clients.
