Pick Your Niche

Choosing your perfect niche makes finding clients easier. It builds confidence. You use your experience or interests to connect with businesses.

Small businesses need email marketing. Studies show email campaigns can drive 2-5% conversion rates for eCommerce.

But many owners lack time. You can help.

Focus on a specific group to stand out. Your past job or hobbies point the way.

This approach saves time and resources. It leverages what you already know.

Here are three tips to pick your niche and find clients.

List industries you’ve worked in. Think retail or healthcare. Search Google Maps for local businesses in those sectors. Offer a free email list audit tailored to their needs. It shows value fast.
Think about your own expertise. Maybe you’re really good at something. You can turn your own skills into a part-time business. But suppose the competition is too high in your local area to make it worth your while. So, how about this? Reach out to those businesses and propose that you’ll take on their email marketing instead.
Use your hobbies. Love fitness? Target yoga studios. Love to cook? There’s a lot of solopreneurs doing their own meals-on-wheels. Target them, asking if they’d be better off focusing on their meal preps while letting you manage their email lists.

Your network is a goldmine. Friends, family, or past colleagues know businesses needing email help.

Small business owners spend only 4-6 hours weekly on marketing. They’re overwhelmed. Email marketing delivers $42 for every $1 spent.

That’s why they need experts like you.

Reaching out is low-cost and low-effort. It builds confidence.

No, you’re not cold-calling strangers. You’re talking to people who trust you. This method skips expensive ads or complex skills.

Here are three steps to tap your own network for clients.

Make a list of 10 contacts. Think former coworkers or neighbors. Email them a short pitch. Offer a free 15-minute consultation to improve their email strategy.
Join a local business group on Facebook. Give advice how they can improve their marketing efforts using email. No shameless sales pitches allowed! Just use it to build your street-cred and your confidence.
Follow up with one phone call. Pick one contact. Offer a $15 trial service like setting up a welcome email. It’s personal and builds trust.

Paid ads sound scary. But they don’t have to be.

Small, targeted ads can find clients fast. You don’t need marketing expertise.

Local businesses want email help. Data shows 60% of small businesses struggle with time for digital marketing. A quick low-budget ad can reach them.

This method is affordable. It fits your busy schedule. You set it up in minutes. It boosts confidence with quick results.

Here are quick steps to use low-budget ads effectively.

Set aside a $10 daily budget for a Facebook ad. Let it run for a few days/weeks. Target your local area. Offer a free consultation for email list management. Set a 10 or 20-mile radius to save money.
Use Nextdoor’s sponsored post. Spend $5. Promote to local solopreneurs. Highlight time savings like “Let me manage your emails for free up 5 hours.” Include a message link.
