Finding consulting clients is challenging. Directing potential clients to websites is "ify" at best. Many of the independent consultants I network with say that their new clients almost always come "by word of mouth" from existing or previous clients.
In exploring more options to "spread the word"--beyond social networking sites such as LinkedIn, FaceBook, and Twitter, I have signed-up my Joelmonty.net website for some promotional services to get them recognized more by search engines.
I am listening to an audio book where the protagonist has marketed an "off-beat" consulting service on eBay. I already use eBay and get my billing and payments through PayPal. It makes sense to work with eBay to market my consulting services, especially my virtual consulting services.
From what I have seen on eBay's Consulting Services pages so far there is plenty of room for my services. Now I have to work on the most effective ways to use eBay to market these services.
